What are window treatments?

"As the term indicates, window treatments can be more than mere window coverings. Treating windows is thought of as "packaging" them as a design element rather than simply covering them for function. Coverings are used to protect privacy, insulate heat and cold, and filter light; and while many people consider window treatments more aesthetic, they too can be functional. Although window treatments are technically more decorative, this term has evolved, and is frequently used to describe most types of window coverings. Sheers, drapes, curtains, cornices, blinds, shutters, and valances are all examples of standard window treatments. More than one type can be incorporated into the design plan, through the use of layered treatments, and this type of arrangement can include both style and function www.jhr-inc.com"

Gary DeYoung ”“ Scott,
I hired Johnson's Home Renovation to rebuild my basement due to water damage. The quality of work performed was superb, both from Scott Johnson and his crew. They paid attention to details, i.e. in the placement of tiles, and recommended alternatives to save on cost and improve the aesthetics of my basement. Both Scott and his crew conducted themselves very professional taking into consideration my personal schedule and ensuring the premises surrounding the basement door remained cleaned. I have already recommended Johnson's Home Renovation to my friends and I would hire them again. ,

Mold and mildew

Web Address: Johnson's Home Renovation, Inc.

Northern VA area, mildew and mold are common problems in many homes. These fungal growths most commonly appear on siding and gutters, creating unsightly brown, green, or black streaks and patches. Since mold/mildew can grow on nearly any surface, decreasing the visual appeal of your home and potentially posing a health hazard, it is important to know how to remove it.

The most common solution to these growths on siding is not actually the best one. Power washing the siding will usually restore the original look for a time, but it does not actually remove the spores. It is like tearing the leaves and flower off a dandelion without killing or pulling the roots, or like putting a gold cap over a rotten tooth without first removing the decay

 

The only truly effective method for cleansing the exterior of your home is to use a properly mixed spray that will both kill the fungus and cause it to release its grip on your siding. Manor Works Painting recommends mixing 1 part bleach and 1 part mildewcide/cleaning agent to 10 parts water. In more severe cases it is necessary to slightly decrease the ratio of water.

 

Many homeowners are nervous of bleach for fear of corroding their homes and introducing caustic chemicals to their yard environment. There are several ways to alleviate this concern. First, spraying the area (house and plants) with water in advance will prevent a properly mixed bleach solution from burning or corroding anything. Rinsing these items after using the bleach will complete the protection. The chemicals in bleach quickly break down in the environment and do not pose a lasting hazard. Finally, Clorox makes an environmentally friendly product called Outdoor Bleach that is not as toxic and is even safer to use near vegetation.

 

As a mildewcide/cleaning agent, many painting contractors recommend JOMAX. It is a good detergent that will help to clean off your mold and mildew, as well as regular dirt and pollen. It also leaves behind a protective barrier that helps to slow down future mildew growth.

 

Use a pump sprayer (garden sprayer) to apply your kill/clean solution to the affected surface. Try to treat 100 to 200 square feet at a time. Let the solution work for about 30 seconds, but do not let it dry. The mildew or mold should melt off with no scrubbing. If it does not, adjust the strength of your solution and spray again. Rinse the sprayed area with a pressure washer. Note: never use a power washer at close range unless you are trying to remove stubborn debris or the paint itself. Your cleaning agent should do the real work in removing stains from your siding.
