Invisible fencing keeps pets safe

If you’re looking for a fencing solution that will keep your four-legged family members safe, consider Invisible Fence. Invisible Fence of Northern Alberta services all of Alberta in the north and provides many quality outdoor fencing solutions that will create a boundary around your property that keeps pets in and out of danger. 

How does it work?

Invisible Fence uses an underground cable and radio frequencies to create an invisible boundary around your property. All your pet has to do is wear a collar. When your dog reaches the boundary of the fence, they will be reminded of that boundary with a warning tone and a gentle static correction.

Some training is required so your pet knows what the right thing to do is when they hear the warning tone. Training is provided by Invisible Fence Perfect Start certified trainers and is included with the purchase of your fence. In addition, flags may be placed on the property line to provide pets with a visual reminder of their boundary.

Boundary Plus Wired System

This system gives your pets the ability to roam, while still remaining safe in the boundaries of your property. This system is great for small yards that don’t want to waste space on a physical fence. In some cases, it gives pets 30% more space to roam. If you have a pet that likes to test the boundaries, this system will not give them mixed signals if they leave the yard and try to return. The boundary is based on time, not distance, so your pet will learn with training to stay close to home. Read more about the many benefits of invisible fencing. 

GPS Wireless System

If you live on a larger piece of land, the GPS Wireless System could be the choice for you because there is no limit to the size or shape of the design. Using satellite technology, this system gives your dog the longest range and most room to roam without any mixed signals. You don’t have to worry about your pet ‘breaking out’ because they’re on the other end of your property and the signal doesn’t reach. There are no lockouts that discourage your dog from returning to their safe zone should they test the system. This option is another safe solution to keep your pets contained within the boundary of your property.

Why you should use junk removal services

There are a few instances in life when you might need junk removal services. A renovation, deep cleaning, landscaping projects, or preparing to sell your home and move. If you’re embarking on one of these projects, trying to decide how to dispose of all that junk afterward can add even more stress. Do you rent a garbage bin or DIY the process yourself? A better and safer option is to save yourself time and stress and leave it to a professional junk removal company.

CLH Landscaping and Garbage Refuse Removal in Abbotsford offers landscaping and junk removal services. They share the benefits of hiring professional junk removal services:

Save time and more money

Hiring professional junk removal help is one of those services that can save you more money. Professionals have the necessary tools, equipment, and vehicles to remove any junk in one or fewer trips. DIY can end up costing more with added gas, multiple trips, or the cost to rent a truck to handle the load. Plus, depending on what you’re disposing of, there might be a fee at the dump or eco-centre or it requires specific disposal to be compliant with regulations.

A professional can also work quickly, thanks to years of experience loading and organizing junk. The sooner your home is clear again, the sooner you can continue those renovations, prepare your home to sell, or get ready to enjoy a freshly cleaned-out space.

Better for your safety

Junk removal isn’t always an easy matter of tossing items in the bin and sending them off. Lifting heavy items can cause personal injury, or clutter can become a serious safety hazard. Other more specific types of junk, such as old paint or chemicals, need to be disposed of properly and with specific guidelines. A professional junk removal company will already know these guidelines and handle the process for you. They’ll provide a safe cleanup and have the right equipment and knowledge to safely transport and dispose of any hazardous materials.

More eco-friendly

Another great benefit of a professional company is their experience and knowledge with recycling items. Not all junk needs to go to the landfill, as some may be recyclable or can be reused and given to charity. When you hire a professional team, ask them about recycling options. Depending on the type of junk you have, it’s likely that some parts of it can be reused. Not only will your home be decluttered, but you’ll leave a greener footprint behind as well.

Landscaping clean up

C.L.H Landscaping and Garbage Refuse Removal also offer full-service landscaping services. Often, large-scale landscaping projects require quite a bit of disposal of old materials. Torn out concrete, trees and shrubs, hardscaping, and other materials will require hauling and disposal. With C.L.H, you’ll get both services from the same company. Whether they’re installing new landscape fixtures, trimming shrubs, or cleaning out flower beds. Then they can take care of refuse removal too.

Junk Removal in Abbotsford

C.L.H Landscaping and Garbage Refuse Removal is a locally owned and operated landscaping and trash removal service serving the Fraser Valley. They offer the best pricing for your needs. C.L.H has the extensive industry experience and has successfully completed numerous difficult and fast-paced projects safely and efficiently. Their services include landscaping services, snow clearing, and garbage removal.

Alternatives to Cedar Shake Roofing

Cedar shake roofs were popular in the 1970s and 1980s, which means there are a lot of roofs out there that are in need of a replacement. Cedar is losing popularity, due to the high level of maintenance it requires to look great. To keep it from looking worn, rotting, and to make it more fire resistant, a chemical must be applied to the roof. If you’re tired of your cedar roof and ready for a conversion, Dedicated Roofing & Exteriors in Calgary can suggest other alternatives. 

Metal roofing

Metal roofing comes with a long lifespan, 50 years or more, making it a good investment for your home. This isn’t the only benefit of choosing metal either. It comes in numerous colours and styles to improve the curb appeal of your home. Metal is a very strong and durable material and will stay looking great for decades. It’s also low maintenance, impenetrable, and will protect your home from snow, rain, sleet, and wind. It helps reflect the sun’s UV rays away from the home, which can help your home stay cool in the summer. Metal roofing is growing in popularity with homeowners because it is often referred to as the last roof you’ll ever buy!

Asphalt roofing

Asphalt roofing is a common roofing textile, making up about 70% of homeowners’ roofs. These shingles are incredibly versatile, coming in different colours, shapes, and styles. Asphalt is cost-effective and is very energy efficient. The installation process is also one of the easier ones, making it a quicker roofing project. The easier installation, compared to other roofing materials, is also part of the reason why it’s less expensive than the other options. Consider these benefits of asphalt roofing when re-roofing your home. 

Slate composite roofing

Slate composite roofing is less common but still comes with advantages that make it worth considering. This roofing option is a lightweight material. However, the installation process is tricky. Installation from an experienced professional is necessary to avoid cracking the slate. While slate may come at a higher cost, depending on the brand chosen, it’s very durable roofing material. It’s built to withstand UV rays from the sun as well as any storm damage. Some slate roofing products are more eco-friendly, depending on the mining and manufacturing process. Slate composite provides a unique and high-end look, while still providing the benefits you want out of your roof.

How to Complete Exterior Painting

How to Complete Exterior Painting for Your Home

From the weather, sun, wind, and rain, your home will need a fresh new look every so often. Exterior painting is a great update to any home, and it’s a great way to change your home’s overall look if you are going for a makeover.

Painting Your Home

Painting your home isn’t as simple as buying your favorite color and starting right away. There are a few steps you will need to take first. For example, your home will need to be pressure washed first to make sure it is clean and ready to go.

All loose or flaking paint on your home will need to be scraped and removed to make sure you have an even surface to paint on and that your final look will not be influenced by anything underneath. Primer is the next step to prepare your house’s exterior for the coming paint. This will give long-lasting results.

Painting your home can be challenging depending on the type of home you have. If you live in a one-story ranch, a simple A-frame ladder should be all you need to reach all exterior points of your home. But, if your house is a multi-story building, multi-leveled, and more, you will need some help to complete the project safely and with quality.

Professional Help

Professional craftspeople are a great local resource to help your home improvement projects go smoothly. If you do not have the time or ability to complete a DIY for exterior painting, hiring professionals might be the way to go. A professional painter will be able to prep your home for the painting and complete the project in a convenient window of time, according to your personal schedule, needs, and budget. Call your local craftspeople to schedule an estimate with different companies to meet and discuss what will help you the best.

These tips should help you prepare what you need for your home’s exterior painting. From preparing the home or planning if the project will be DIY or professionally done is a lot to think about. Start planning today and enjoy the end results in no time.

Contact our team at Handyman Connection to plan your upcoming project. We are only one call or text away to begin and schedule an estimate today.

Create privacy in your backyard with landscaping

With summer temperatures arriving, people are looking to spend more time in their outdoor living spaces. If a lack of privacy in your backyard is stopping you from enjoying it, then it’s time to change that. Invest in new landscaping, and incorporate clever features that will make your yard more private too.

R & R Landscapes in Calgary is a full-service landscape design and landscape construction company. They can assist you with your landscaping project this year. Here they share some ideas for adding privacy to your outdoor living spaces.

Put up some privacy panels

Using panels such as fencing, lattice, or even trellis is an easy way to create privacy in your backyard space. Privacy panels used in fencing or on decks can stop people from gazing into your yard when they’re passing by. Using lattice or trellis can help to create a physical barrier from strangers looking into your yard. Not only will you get privacy, but you can give your living spaces more shade too. Panels can also create an aesthetically pleasing look while providing privacy too.

Build a living wall

A great way to create a private space in your backyard while showing off your green thumb is through a living wall. While this privacy option means more upkeep to make sure it doesn’t overgrow and look messy, it’s sure to give you that wow factor. The rich texture from the plants will help your space to feel inviting and welcoming while also giving you the privacy you want.

Strategically placed shrubs, bushes, and trees

If you are working with a smaller-sized space or restrictions stop you from putting up a fence, there are still options to create privacy. You can plant shrubs or bushes in a strategic way to eventually wind up with hedges. Not only do trees and shrubs help with the privacy situation, they will also add beauty, depth, and value to your landscape.

Exterior renovation ideas focused on windows and doors  

Renovations help keep your home up to date, efficient, and stylish. Exterior renovations especially are great for curb appeal and increase your resale value. Still, there is a lot to consider, especially with windows and doors, which play a key visual role. Beyond just a paint touch-up or replacement, there are a few other renovation options to spruce up your home.

Maxx Exteriors Ltd. in Vancouver is a professional renovations company. They share some exterior renovation ideas that address those windows and doors:

Windows: full replacement and style change

A complete window renovation is a significant undertaking and cost, but it also offers major benefits. If your windows are outdated, inefficient, and costing money in energy loss, then a complete replacement is worth considering. Just don’t do a total overhaul if minor changes or upgrades can offer the same benefits. In a full replacement, think about energy efficiency, security, reliability, and appearance. A professional can always help with those considerations to ensure you get just what you need. Triple pane windows, for example, are highly efficient and will save more over the years. Casement windows are considered one of the most secure options, thanks to the crank system only opening from the inside. Ask Maxx Exteriors Ltd. about your options for replacement windows.

Windows: Add a feature

Is your home missing an eye-catching feature addition? Windows are a great place to add that aspect, especially if the current ones are similar in style and design. Upgrading to a bow or bay window offers benefits both inside and out. On the outside, it becomes a focal point that adds major curb appeal and a touch of elegance to the home. Inside, that spacious window will welcome plenty of natural lighting and open space that makes any room feel bigger. You can also install a window seat to add extra appeal.

Doors: new entry door

Like windows, upgrading your entrance door can do a lot to boost efficiency, security, and value. A premium entrance, for example, may mean a fibreglass door that is robust against dents and rust. Adding decorative sidelights or glass slats against the door will add a more luxurious and high-end appearance. Custom door handles in various sizes and styles also catch the eye and add more interest. Then, once you apply a colourful touch of paint, that final element will really pull together the statement look. Plus, new entry doors have incredible ROI and will add value to your home.

Doors: patio doors 

If you have other doors leading outside, like a patio door, consider giving it an upgrade as well. While a back entrance doesn’t quite need the same feature statement as an entrance, it does deserve some attention. Efficiency and security will always apply to doors, but a stylish patio door can really dress up the backyard or deck space. On the inside as well, upgrading a patio door or even installing a new one has just as many benefits. It’ll create an open connection to the outdoors, bring in extra light, and add a focal point to your exterior.

Exterior Renovations in Vancouver

Maxx Exteriors Ltd. prides itself on offering a full range of services for windows, doors, or cut-ins. Their professionals can help with both the grunt work and suggest the perfect designs or styles. Exterior renovations will help boost curb appeal, efficiency, and resale value.

Soundproof ceilings for residential and commercial projects

Both commercial and residential properties benefit from stylish, functional, and soundproof ceilings that boost value and overall appeal. If you’re looking for a specialized ceiling for your home or business, you’ll need the help of an experienced drywall and ceiling contractor.

Ferris Deal Contracting in Winnipeg is a professional drywalling company. They share the types of soundproof ceilings and what multi-use perks they offer:

Suspended acoustic ceiling

Suspended acoustic ceilings are a secondary style of ceiling that is hung below the actual ceiling to help the acoustics and add visual appeal. It’s a great way to hide any electrical wiring or plumbing or add custom designs to the look. Acoustic ceilings are a great way to dampen otherwise noisy areas. Work areas with hard flooring or large meeting rooms where sound easily bounces will be less noisy with an acoustic ceiling.

In residential homes, those same benefits are equally popular in basement renovation. If you have a basement suite, then dampening upstairs sound will keep potential renters much happier.

Sound panels

Also referred to as acoustic panels, these also dampen the sound by limiting the reverberation and echo in a room. Where acoustic ceilings pair well with decorative designs and elements, sound panels are best to help absorb and diffuse loud or background noises. These can be used in private meeting rooms for commercial buildings to keep any voices from traveling inside or out.

In a residential home, sound panels installed in kids’ playrooms or a home theatre will keep the sounds within. Sound panels also come as horizontal or vertical panels, meaning installation on the walls is also an option.

Tectum panels 

Commercial spaces tend to be high traffic in nature and need materials that can stand up to impact and wear. With tectum panels, you get the benefits of soundproofing, but in a robust material. Unlike other soundproof materials, this panel can easily withstand repeated impact without damage. It’s also lightweight, so it’s easy to install on either walls or ceilings. Depending on the room where you need soundproofing, whether commercial or residential, having a robust option is always beneficial. Once installed, the panels will readily accept paint to add extra visual appeal to a home or impress potential customers.

Drywall Contractors in Winnipeg

Whether you need robust commercial-grade drywall or a residential renovation, Ferris Deal Contracting is the one to call. Their professionals are trained, experienced, and trustworthy when handling any scale of drywall work. With their help and skill, you can rest assured that any project will last and add great value.
