Opinions on cedar vs vinyl fencing
Comments (8)The other side of the question , my neighbor put in vinyl fencing about 3 years ago. 1st year it looked like George HamiltonÂs teeth.... WHITE! 2nd year (Florida sunshine & Rain) it started to lose its shinny look and you could feel a slight roughness. 3rd year the mold started.... IÂm planning a hedge on my side. I have a wood fence out front and down here at least you do have to give it some loven at least once a year. At least I can keep it up... the vinyl man says each time he pressure washes it, it seams to come back stronger...See MoreVinyl Plank vs Tile Plank vs Vinyl Tile Plank vs Laminate
Comments (12)We did our whole basement a few months back in luxury vinyl tile (that's the lvt above :) ) and just love it. I think it's a no-brainer if you have dogs that will scratch up hardwood or need waterproofing (we put it through our laundry area and mudroom). On a main floor, I'd still do hardwood, because all of the other options feel fake underfoot (barefoot). But if that's not an option, the lvt is warm, soft, and has some awesome looks these days.

Comments (9)Your home is Contemporary, but not Colonial by any definition. All of your evergreens have hit their 'sell by' date. They are overgrown covering your windows and cannot be trimmed into any viable shapes. Look at Superdeck.com for Their Duck Back stains for your home. Here is the color chart I would recommend you select a weathered driftwood stain for your home and possibly consider a corrugated metal roof for your home. To complement the new stain I would recommend the driveway be overlayed with a Chip or Macadam stone driveway. The contractor sprays some tar on the existing asphalt driveway spreads stone like a pea gravel and then rolls over the stone to press the new layer into the tar.
