The First Meet
First impressions are everything!  
Many contractors forget that it is necessary to be presentable the first time you meet your client; dress professionally and appropriately.  Above this, show up on time!  How can you expect your client to trust that you will complete their project in a timely manner if you could not show up for their estimate in a timely manner?  Additionally, be prepared!  Pack your measuring tools, bring some business cards and either a presentation folder or digital copies of previous work you have completed to show to the client.  Clients are usually interested in seeing how much and what type of experience you have, so why make them wait until you get back to the office to show them what you’re capable of?
But the pressure is not only on the contractor; both parties should do some preparation before the meeting.  The first time you and your potential client meet should honestly feel like an interview for both parties.  Both parties should walk away from this meeting knowing if they will be working with the other by the end of the estimate.  
From a homeowner’s perspective, it is important to ask the contractor questions that will help you gain knowledge about the contractor in hopes of making you feel comfortable enough to work with them.  Ask them how long they have been doing renovations or projects similar to the one you are looking to have done.  Ask them if they have any referrals.  Referrals are always a good way to get a true sense of the contractor and their team.  Apart from questions for the contractor, the homeowner should also do a little bit of homework.  Have a rough idea of what your vision is so that the contractor can help fill in the blanks or enhance the vision.
The contractor should ask the homeowner questions that will help them understand more about the family and the needs and wants of the space that they are looking to renovate or supplement with additions.  The contractor should try to get a sense of the clients’ style, design, scope of work and budget.   Many contractors over promise but under deliver because of budget constraints so it’s best to just have an open honest conversation around this topic.  Also, having that portfolio mentioned earlier is great for those clients who have no idea where to start or who are just flustered because they have gathered a million ideas from Pinterest and Houzz.
The key to a successful first meet is communication.  So don’t be afraid to ask questions or provide your thoughts and expertise.  Also, always remember to remain respectful of each other’s property and time.  As a homeowner, if you are just fishing for ideas or quotes, that’s not cool!  And contractors, always remember to respect the clients time and property.  Be cognisant of any rituals they may have, the most obvious one is shoe removal!
Hope this helps both new contractors and homeowners out there looking for a contractor get some context into what to expect when considering a renovation or addition.

Moving in winter can be a scary thought. Moving in itself is a hard enough, and stressful enough process as it is, but when you add below freezing temperatures, harsh winds that whip at your face, heavy snowfall that takes away visibility and mounds of snow that makes it difficult to walk and drive – it sounds like a recipe for disaster.

What is “Hard” water? 

We considered water to be hard when it contains large amounts of calcium, magnesium and other minerals. These minerals cause film spots to form on your dishes and residue build up on bathroom fixtures. Hard water can also reduce the efficiency of water heaters and also cause build-up in plumbing pipes and kitchen appliances. Many people find that hard water can cause their laundry is stiffer and less vibrant and also prevents shampoo from lathering properly. 

Water hardness is measured in parts per million (ppm) or grains per U.S. gallon (gpg). This can be determined by a simple water sample. The chart below outlines how hardness levels in your water can be classified. 

 
What is “Soft” water? 

Water is considered soft when most of the calcium, magnesium and dissolved solids are removed. As shown in the classification chart above, water is considered soft when the hardness is below 1 Grain Per Gallon. Many water softeners will remove hardness entirely, leaving the water without mineral content. Most people prefer soft water for showers and laundry, but it’s not necessary for drinking, cooking or watering plants. Homeowners can have a dedicated “hard” water supply ran to locations for drinking, cooking and outdoor use.

Water hardness will very from municipality to municipality and sometimes even throughout the city. Its is recommended to have your water tested prior to setting up a water softener to ensure the softener is set up properly. For more information about water and water hardness check out the link below

Good Practice - To ensure your water softener works properly and to prolong your investment. It is good practice to always let the salt in the brine tank dissolve almost 100% before adding more into the tank. This prevents the salt from hardening and keeps your softener from working harder than it needs to.   

Reverse Osmosis System or R.O. 

Some people prefer to drink water that is even more filtered then just by a water softener. An R.O. System can help ensure your drinking water is as filtered as possible. By using a 5 stage reverse osmosis system, your drinking water passes over multiple filters, further purifying your drinking water.

Wiping off your vanity countertop is not enough. The bathroom may be your hub of cleanliness, but mould, bacteria and other irritants could well be lurking underneath your tiles, especially if you love long showers. Bathrooms are an area where you get a high concentration of moisture, which can lead to mould, mildew, failing grout, rotting walls — you name it.
