Minor or major, remodels always tend to take on a life of their own. While they’re normally categorized by a few bumps in the road, remodels are also surrounded by excitement and anticipation. Don’t let impatience get the best of you, though. Once everything feels done, it’s smart to go through a checklist to bring closure to the project. To make sure everything that you’ve worked hard for and invested in is just right, take a look at this checklist, published by Houzz. See the extended and original version for more details.

1. Keep the old stuff. You may want to return to original fixtures or materials down the road, or a future home buyer may be curious about the originals.

2. Make sure everything works. Flip switches and run faucets before the professionals are gone.

3. Send in warranty cards. Did your appliances come with a warranty? Make sure you register it or send in the warranty card to make sure you’re covered.

4. Update your homeowner’s insurance policy. Realistically, bad things happen. Contact your insurance agency and get protected, just in case.

5. Open every cabinet, drawer, and door. Is everything level? Is the hardware centered? Test it all, because it’s easier to fix it sooner rather than later.

6. Learn about proper maintenance. You just spent money on new items. Get educated on how to take care of them so they have the best chance of the longest life in your new space.

7. Keep all extra materials. Repairs and replacements could be possible a few years after your remodel. Get hold of those extra materials so that you can save time and money later on.

8. Save and label paint. This is one of the easiest and most "life-saving" tips. The need for touch-ups can’t be avoided, and matching paint can be frustrating. Grab your sharpie and label paint cans with the paint’s brand, name, and the room in which it is used. If you don’t have leftover cans, get sample color chips from your home improvement store and keep them in a binder.

9. Take care of the legal stuff. Fill out and sign any forms that your city or town requires to avoid problems in the future. You want to make sure all the work done in your home is above board, whether it’s your forever home or you plan to sell.

10. Keep all of your reno info in one place. Dedicate a box or drawer to all of your receipts, memos, fabric samples, documents, etc. that come with doing a remodel. You’ll be glad you did.

The #1 Reason You Should Sell Now


 Good Advise from KCM Blog!

Home For Sale Sign in Front of New HouseThe price of any item (including residential real estate) is determined by ‘supply and demand’. If many people are looking to buy an item and the supply of that item is limited, the price of that item increases.
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the supply of homes for sale  dramatically increases every spring. Putting your home on the market now instead of waiting for the increased competition of the spring might make a lot of sense.
Buyers in the market during the winter months are truly motivated purchasers. They want to buy now. With limited inventory available in most markets currently, a seller will be in a great position to negotiate.

Avalon Fire Department Welcomes Santa December 18th!

The Avalon Vol. Fire Dept. has been able to arrange a visit from Santa Claus to Avalon on Wednes­day, Decem­ber 18, 2013. Due to his busy sched­ule, and the lack of rein­deer food in the dunes, we will be bring­ing Santa door to door on the fire engines. We must cur­tail his vis­its to about 5 min­utes so he can make all his stops in time. If you would like Santa to stop by your house, call 967‑5914 to sign up. We will need each child’s name, age, and the loca­tion to visit. Santa will also bring small gifts for chil­dren ages 0 — 9. Santa will try to make all his stops between 6pm and 8pm. Unfor­tu­nately, we can not pro­vide exact times.
Sum­mary Date: WEDNESDAY, Dec. 18, 2013 Time: 6p-8p Sign-up: 967‑5914 We Need: EACH Child’s Name, Age, & Gen­der Address to Visit, & tele­phone number.

Stone Harbor 2014 Holiday Beach Tag Now Available!

The Borough of Stone Harbor is now offering its very popular holiday beach tags for sale. The beach tags are currently on sale at the Stone Harbor Borough Hall, the Stone Harbor Chamber of Commerce, and at select merchants throughout Stone Harbor.

This year’s holiday beach tag includes "1914-2014: 100 years the seashore at its best" as the Borough begins its major centennial celebration that will include special events and activities to commemorate its 100th anniversary.

"The perfect holiday gift is a summer at the beach in Stone Harbor in 2014", said Stone Harbor Mayor Suzanne Walters. "Each year we are proud to offer seasonal beach tags with a special holiday theme that will be accepted by beach tag checkers throughout next year’s beach season. Because this year’s holiday tag marks our centennial celebration, they will be highly collectible".

The holiday beach tags are available for purchase while supplies last at $21.00 apiece. They are seasonal beach tags and will be honored by all beach tag inspectors throughout the entire summer of 2014. The tags do not need to be exchanged for the traditional summer beach tag. Each tag comes in a decorative box and the tags are available on a first come, first served basis.

The 2014 holiday beach tags may be purchased at Stone Harbor Borough Hall at 9508 Second Avenue in Stone Harbor; at the Stone Harbor Chamber of Commerce located at 212 96th Street in Stone Harbor; and at select Stone Harbor merchants.
