Jamie Alexander and

Glen Peloso have
selected their favourite
products to give your
home a makeover.
UNILOCK can be added
to a driveway or the
back of your home.
Interlocking block
driveways increase the
curb appeal of your home
and are very appealing to
prospective home buyers.
A landscaped yard using
this product decreases
the amount of lawn to
mow and can create
beautiful pathways to a
garden.

METAL ROOFING is not only an appealing look but its
insulation properties are well worth the added cost. It comes in
a variety of styles; from slate to a traditional shingle look. The
biggest advantage of metal roofing is the product’s life span.
It is meant to last approximately 50 years! The product is also
made from sixty percent recycled materials, therefore you are
also helping the environment!

STUCCO comes in a variety of
colours and gives your home a
finished, clean look. The insulation
value of stucco is notable and a
great choice for older homes that
have insul-brick, clap board and
any surface that doesn’t hold heat
or cooling well. Revamping the
exterior of your home with stucco
will increase its resale value and
reduce your heating and cooling
costs.

SKY LIGHTS are
a great choice
to keep sunlight
streaming into
the house. Velux
skylights can be
open or fixed.
We also love
Sun Tunnels as
they bring natural
sunlight into
areas not suited
for traditional sky
lights.
LANDSCAPING
is a must for
your home! The
curb appeal and
the additional
living space that
is a result of
a landscaped
backyard will
increase the
resale value of
your home.

a wise investment. Here are

likely not increase the value
of your home.
