With winter storm Jonas finally releasing the eastern US from its grip it has me thinking about 2 things. 1.) Dealing with the aftermath of the storm and 2.) looking forward to warmer days ahead.
Additionally, World of Concrete is next week so we'll be
sure to pass along plenty of warm sunny pictures of tools and equipment in our social media feeds to help you beat those winter doldrums.

Removing an Ice Dam
Now that winter storm Jonas has passed us by it is time to get out and assess any damage it may have caused to your home and property. If your home has a steep sloped roof, and is more than 20 years old, there is a high probability that your attic has excessive heat, leading to ice damming.
Rob shares his tips and experience for dealing with an Ice Dam.
Winter is a great time to start planning your outdoor projects for the coming spring and summer. Many of you may be considering deck and fencing projects. Maybe you’re considering having a new deck or fence built. Maybe it’s time to refinish your deck or add some new decorative touches to your tired deck. Now is the perfect time to plan these projects
Maybe you're not looking to improve your home anymore when spring/summer rolls around. Maybe it doesn't fit your needs any more or your just tired of all the snow and cold and are looking to sell. Winter is a great time to start getting your home in shape to hit the market in the spring.
Finishing the outstanding projects, painting over bold colors, and knocking out the punchlist
are just three things that should help you get your home sold closer to the asking price and in a timelier manner.
