Don't wait until it's Spring or Summer to talk to a qualified deck contractor! They'll be busy building outdoor decks for your neighbors.

What Type of Deck Do You Want?
Wood decks are still the most popular choice for a new backyard deck. But they're not the only choice. Many are trying different materials.

Most Common Material Choices:
  • Wood
  • Composite
  • Vinyl
A lot of outdoor deck contractors are building decks out of vinyl and composite materials because of manufacturers claims that these decks can be maintenance free (or at least a lot less maintenance is required.) The engineered decking materials can resist rot, mold, and fungus. They usually require less re-painting and have longer warranties.

But, who can resist the look and feel of all natural wooden outdoor decks?

Talk to your deck contractor about the best choice of deck materials for your backyard improvement project.

National Vampire Awareness Day!

Guess what today is?!

Okay, so you read my title already... But it's not what you think. I swear! Today is Vampire Awareness Day - this is true. What's not true is that it's Vampire Awareness Day because Halloween and Trick or Treating is upon us.

We're talking about a different kind of vampire. The kind that doesn't suck the blood from your neck, but the money from your wallet.

No, it's not a day to call attention to your ex-wife... although, that would be funny.

The folks over at Best Buy have declared an awareness of energy vampires to help save you cash on your utility bills.

What is Vampire Power?
  • Vampire Power is the electricity that consumer electronics and appliances use while they are switched off or in a standby mode.
  • It is responsible for wasting an estimated $4 billion in the U.S. annually and the Department of Energy notes that this figure could rise by 20 percent by 2010.
How Does Vampire Power Affect Me?
  • The average American home has approximately 20 to 40 electronics devices plugged in that abuse vampire power.
  • These appliances can cost you close to $1,000 in electricity costs per year at current rates (more in the future if energy costs continue to climb). Even when they're not on.
A Stake in the Heart Won't Work - How Can Reduce Energy Bloodletting?
  • Use a power strip so multiple devices can be switched off at the same time
  • Unplug your chargers from the wall when they are not in use
Just because your stereo is off or your computer is "sleeping", it doesn't mean that it's not draining power. When you see that little red light on, it means it's sucking money from your purse. And that's not cool.

Go to the Vampire Awareness Day page (.pdf) to read a Fact Sheet with more details and what you can do to help.

Killing the vampires in your house is a great way to save money, save energy, reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, and help save the planet.

It's the green thing to do. And keeping a little money in your checking account is nice, too.

Also, if you need to do an Energy Audit of your home, ConstructionDeal.com can help. We'll match you with a local Energy Auditor to review your home and determine if your home is wasting even more energy and money.

It's a fast and easy process - simply submit your request and get up to 4 quotes from Home Energy Auditors in a matter of hours. At not cost.
