Fall Home & Garden Improvement 2016Autumn and the cool-

er weather is here, and many households over-look the importance of preparing their sprinkler systems for the onset of freezing temperatures. Water that is left in the system during the win-ter may cause valves or other system components to malfunction when the system needs to be oper-ating at peak efficiency, during the spring and summer seasons.

The irrigation ex-pert, Joseph Dellaripa recommends that Pelham homeowners take the

time to properly winter-ize their irrigation sys-tem around the middle of autumn. This is where residents can let the pro-fessionals handle the win-terization process with ease. Some of the import-ant things Dellaripa can take care of are properly turning “off ” the timer, shutting off the flow of water, draining pipes, insulating aboveground pipes and installing a rain/freeze sensor to name a few. (See the Del-laripa ad on page 6)

Because some car-penters and renovators

are booked in the Spring and Summer months, now is the perfect time to get a special carpentry project done. The team at Second Generation are home res-toration experts. They handle everything from custom cabinetry, fire-place renovation, custom tiling and much more. Have them check your windows and doors for cracks or openings that may cause your heating bills to soar in the winter months. (See their ad be-low)

Believe it or not, proper window treat-

ments can help conserve energy and have a pos-itive impact on fight-ing heat loss during the winter. Kay Winston of Windows Expression can introduce you to Hunter Douglas’ energy-efficient Duette Architella honey-comb shades. With win-dow treatments that pro-vide insulation, you can reduce energy consump-tion, save on heating and cooling costs, and create a more comfortable at-mosphere. Many Hunter Douglas window fashions help to control solar heat by allowing it into your

home in the winter and minimizing the amount that comes in during the summer. (See Kay Win-ston’s ad on page 6)

Are you consider-ing having some interior painting done in your home? If so, the highly professional team at AG Williams Painting Com-pany, Inc. believe that there are many benefits to painting during this time of the year. Cooler temperatures for one are ideal for paint to dry. In fact, if it is too hot, paint might dry too quickly and not adhere properly.

These next few months are generally much less humid, another benefit to painting during the fall. If there is too much moisture during the dry-ing process, it can lead to cracking and peeling. Brightening up an area in your home with paint is perfect for the cooler weather and the holiday season. (See the special offer from AG Williams Painting Company on page 6)

Paulie the RooferPaul Georges

Slate & Tile Specialist and Expert on Stopping Leaks on any roof

516-621-3869Most homeowners take roofs for granted -- until they start to leak. Then they face tough decisions weighing cost, aesthetively easy to install and inexpensive, but are environ-mentally unsuitable since after about 20 years they have to go to a landfill. Real wood shingles (or shakes) are attractive, moderately expensive, but are not fire resistant and they attract insects. Real slate tiles can be very attractive and last up to 100 years, but are quite expensive.

Paul Georges, known professionally as Paulie the Roofer, has been fixing roofs in and around Pelham for over 25 years. His specialty is slate and tile roofs but he can stop leaks on any roof.

Professional roofers like Paulie are normally licensed by New York State, so that’s one credential homeowners might check for when comparing contractors. It’s also a good idea to get a written proposal and to check which neighbors for names of reliable roof-ers. No Pelham Village permits are needed if the work is limited to repairs.

Please call Paulie at 516-621-3869 for a free estimate. He has local referrals.
