Benefits of Shopping at a Lumber Yard

Zach Baierl
A lumber yard is a dedicated space where various types of lumber and wood-related products are stored and processed. But these yards offer much more than just wood. They also provide wood-plastic composites like Trex, other construction materials, general hardware items, and woodworking services. Customers have the option to either pick up raw materials and products directly from the yard or place custom orders that are prepared for pickup or delivery. While many are connected to lumber mills, they don’t necessarily have to be, as is the case with Marling.

Home improvement in stages may not be what you want. If you're thinking about breaking your next home improvement into stages, remember: colors and styles change for all home products, have a plan if an item becomes discontinued, be aware of trends in cabinet colors and styles, and remember, as wood ages, it develops a patina, so add those upper cabinets sooner rather than later.

How to Tell if You Need a New Roof

Roofing
by
Lukas Radtke
If you think its time for a new roof – it probably is. Roofs last about 12 to 20 years, but environmental factors play a part in a roof’s longevity. Lots of sun, hail and wind take their toll. If you are the second or third owner of a home, you may not be quite sure how long the roof has been on it and if it was installed properly. Remember, the time to get a new roof is before something drastic happens.
