Q: I WANT TO RENOVATE MY BASEMENT AND ADD A GUEST BEDROOM. HOW CAN I MAXIMIZE THE USE OF SPACE AND NOT MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A BASEMENT? A: Basement renos are a great way to add living space to your home. When working on sectioning off an open area, think outside the box and consider creating a guest suite instead of a bedroom. In this project, we made a small space appear larger but incorporating shelving as a form of separation between the sitting area and bedroom. We then outfitted the bedroom with floor to ceiling cabinets to eliminate the need for other furniture pieces. Tall drapery and a light and airy color scheme helped make this basement space inviting and creates a chic look that would typically be seen in a boutique hotel. - Rocky Mountain Interior and Exterior Renovation Services, www.rmeii.ca Q: WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING MY WINDOWS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD IT BE DONE? A: Having your windows professionally cleaned means you never need to think about your windows again. They will be so clean it’s like they aren’t even there and your home is brighter and feels fresh. For the best view all year-round we suggest getting your windows cleaned three times (spring, summer and fall). We offer a bundled package for three appointments which includes a free deep screen cleaning with the spring visit and screen storage at the fall visit (so you can see out of your windows in winter). Safety and quality are important when selecting a window cleaning professional. We guarantee every window we clean and use water-fed poles for all exterior window cleaning, which keeps technicians safely off of ladders. By using years of industry experience and technology, we’re able to bring affordable, professional window cleaning to everyone. All of our technicians are uniformed, bonded and insured. - Jake Buffin, Elite Window Cleaning, www. windowcleaning.ca
