Preferably, driveways should be sealed annually, prior to the cold weather.

The product you should use should be a high solids content (25% - 30%) clear acrylic.

For best results, roll on the sealer as opposed to spraying. This provides you with an even coverage, resulting in better performance. You can obtain a good sealer from your local Ready Mix producers, but if you choose to go to a local home store, be sure to check for the 25% - 30% solid content.

The hot issue in homes today is MOLD—that black, blue, green or red fungal growth that can be found hiding under carpet, in drywall, on basement walls, on damp clothes that have set too long—anywhere that moisture sets. All mold needs to grow and spread are the following:

• A Moderate Temperature (68 –86 Degrees)
• Oxygen
• Moisture (70% or more)

Mold is something you must not let get out of control. Attention to this fast spreading fungus must be paid immediately to stop any spreading to other areas of your home. Often times the growth will go unseen as it spreads under carpet or inside your walls. It is important to be aware of any mold growth. If not caught in time, you may end up damaging another important possession—your pocket book, especially since most major insurance companies are shying away from mold coverage in homeowner’s insurance policies.

Preventing mold is less costly and timely than treating it once it has appeared. This is why Granite Ridge Builders has adopted a Mold Policy.

• Our Lumber is Kiln Dried with an 18% or less moisture content—We do NOT Accept or Install any lumber, or other building products in our homes with mold or high moisture content.
• We optimize attic ventilation by using Continuous Soffits and Ridge Vents that help eliminate stagnant air pockets where moisture can collect.
• We offer a Honeywell Air Treatment System that removes 70-99.9% of airborne mold. Come see this in our showroom!
• We use continuous vapor barriers to keep moisture outside your home.

First you need to answer several questions.

1. What is your desired style?

2. What is the size of the room?

3. What is the color & style of the furniture?

Once you have answered these questions you can begin to select a collection of wallpapers that will enhance your rooms. For example, if you love the Tuscan style of design, a faux finished looking paper would enhance the textures and colors used in this colorful design style. Wallpaper should add character and depth to a room, and it can actually make walls appear taller, wider, or deeper. Begin your search by visiting the wallpaper studio at Choice Designs by Carma, Inc. above Granite Ridge Builders. Our trained design staff can assist you with all of your wallpapering needs from selection to installation.
