Owning a home is a wonderful thing, but you should always be really careful to make the best choices if you make changes to the outside of your home and this includes putting up a fence of any kind.  There are a few tips for adding a fence to your property that you might want to take into consideration before doing so and some of those are listed below.

1. Before putting up a fence on your property be sure to talk with your neighbors about it.  You need to keep in mind that you are not only putting up a fence in your backyard but you are also adding a fence to your neighbors land as well.  Talk with the neighbors that your fence will directly affect and discuss such things as property lines and types of fencing etc.
2. Another thing to consider when adding a fence on your property is the color of the fence and also the style.  Will the color and style of your fence match your home?  If you need ideas of what style fence will look good with your house consider looking online at some ideas.
3. You may want to consider planting trees to use as a fence if you decide you can’t find a style of fencing that will look good with your homes style. Cypress and pines are great for this type of privacy fencing and they never go out of style.
4. If you decide to add a wooden fence, be sure that you know you will have to take care of it and paint or stain it every so often. If you want something that has less maintenance than that you may want to purchase a vinyl fence.
5. You may want to consider cost as well when deciding what type of material you want your new fence made out of. Keeping within your budget is always a good idea when adding to your home.
6. Longevity of the fence material is another thing to keep in mind when choosing fencing for your property. You don’t want to purchase a material that will need to be replaced sooner than you wish for it to.

These are just a few tips for adding a fence of any kind to your property.  Once you have gone over these tips you should be able to choose more wisely than you would have without them.

The summer storm season is here and there are things that you may need to do to prepare your home for them. In this blog post today we will give you a few tips on how to prepare your home for the upcoming storm season.

• First, fix any damage the past winter has done to your roof. You may need to replace a few shingles or you may even have to replace the entire roof. Hire a professional if you don’t know much about how to fix your own roof. You don’t want storms coming if you have damage to your roof because you may end up with damage on the inside of your house as a result.
• Check to make sure your gutters are not full of debris and leaves.   During the winter months gutters tend to go un-checked. If your gutters are full, the first summer storm that comes your way will most likely cause you and anyone who enters your home to get a hat full of rain water. Take care of things like this before storm season arrives and you will be glad you did.
• Have a professional come out and check to make sure your trees are secure. Make sure the professionals cut down all trees that may have issues and get rid of any loose limbs. You don’t want tree limbs flying through the air during a summer storm.
• If you have a sump pump, make sure it is working and perhaps even get a battery powered back-up so that your pump will continue to work in the event the power goes out.
• Have a plan in place for you and your family in case of a bad storm. You may live in an area where there aren’t many bad storms but you never know when one may come about.
• Make sure that your windows are good and secure and that there are no areas in which water can get inside them. If your windows are older you may consider replacing them.

Hopefully these tips have given you a head start on getting your home ready for the storm season. You can never be too prepared.

The previous blog about preventing identity theft during a move dealt primarily with precautionary steps to take from your old residence to thwart clever criminals.  So you’re now safely ensconced in your new  home. And you can breathe a sigh of relief, right?

Actually, no.  Unfortunately, there are clever identity thieves waiting at that end of your relocation, also, and your efforts to outwit them must continue at your new address.  Read on for more advice:

• Once you have reached your new home, check to make certain that you have all the important papers and documents you carried with you—and immediately put them in a safe, secured place.

• Locate and unpack the box containing your electronic possessions—tablet, IPhone, computers, etc.  Account for each one and consider changing your passwords.

• Carefully look through your bank statements to make certain that there are no unauthorized charges.  You might also think about requesting new credit reports to be sure that your status hasn’t changed significantly.

• Make certain that you are receiving your mail at your new address.  If you are missing any statements, checks, and the like, report those losses immediately.

• Contact your old neighbor to verify that he/she is collecting any mail that arrives to the prior address.  Arrange for it to be mailed to you or go by and pick it up, if possible.

• If you have to cancel any bank accounts or credit cards because of your relocation, close the account, cut up any cards associated with the account, and shred unneeded papers.

• Replace the locks on immediately- preferably before you even move in, as the old tenants could still have keys.

• Be diligent and cautious when providing personal information, especially your social security number, to new doctors, organizations, or schools.

• After the move set up a “safe zone” where you store important papers and can work on private matters away from the eyes of visitors to your new home, repairmen, utility workers, and strangers.

Although you may not be able to protect your identity 100%, you can go a long way in ensuring peace of mind by being proactive, diligent, and aware, especially during a move.
