How Do I Know if I Need New Windows or Doors?

August 8, 2019

Johns Lumber How Do I Know If I Need New Windows or Doors

Windows and doors are an essential part of any home. We often take them for granted. They prevent intruders and wildlife from coming in and help protect us from the elements outdoors. They can last for years, but even the best brands have a lifespan. How can you tell if your windows and doors are ready to be replaced?

  • It’s Harder to Control Indoor Climate – If you notice drafts when doors and windows are closed or your energy bills are going up, then it’s likely time for an update. Deteriorated windows and doors won’t keep the elements out like they used to and will make it harder to maintain comfortable temperatures indoors.
  • Noise Pollution Is Heard Inside – Do you notice more sounds from outdoors making their way into your living space? Your windows and doors are likely not doing their job. Newer models offer better insulation, so your home stays peaceful.
  • Frames Feel Soft or Appear Damaged – If window or door frames feel soft or have noticeable damage, you may need at least a repair if not a whole replacement. Water damage can cause significant deterioration, which needs to be addressed quickly.
  • It’s Difficult to Open, Close, or Lock – If you can’t easily open, close, and/or lock your windows and doors, then that’s a sure sign you need new ones. Even hardware will age and eventually fail. Replace now before you can’t open or lock your home.

We can help you find the best products based on your household needs and budget. Stop by or contact John’s Lumber in Clinton Township or Shelby Township today to learn more about new door and window installation.

DIY Barnwood Projects

July 23, 2019

John's Lumber DIY Barn Wood Interiors

Barnwood is an incredibly popular material to work with and for good reason. As a recycled material, it is something you can feel good about putting to use while upgrading the look and appeal of your home. Here are a few of John’s Lumber reclaimed Barnwood projects you can do all on your own.

#1 – Decorative Shelving

Barnwood shelving is simple to construct and can be completed with standard shelving hardware. What better place for personal mementos?

#2 – Wall Paneling

Reclaimed Barnwood is the perfect material for paneling, which can be repurposed again at a later time if needed. This relatively simple project quickly infuses rustic charm in any room of your house and will inspire a farm like atmosphere.

#3 – Pallet Garden Walkway

Individual pieces of Barnwood can be arranged in a walkway fashion to help guests navigate your land. Unlike stones which commonly sink into the surrounding landscape, a pallet garden walkway is inexpensive and easy to maintain.

#4 – Rustic Bookcase

The natural allure of a rustic bookcase is hard to escape. Since you are crafting it yourself you get to choose how tall and wide it is, and add finishing touches as you please. This is a useful trick for adding book storage in spaces which do not accommodate standard bookcases.

The possibilities when working with Barnwood are limitless. Stop by either of John’s Lumber local store locations in Clinton Township and Shelby Township to pick-up some reclaimed Barnwood for your next project.

5 Reasons to Install New Windows in Your Home

July 11, 2019

Johns Lumber 5 Reasons to Install New Windows in Your Home

New windows can have a huge impact on your living space. If your home hasn’t been updated in a while, now is the time to think about your next project. Why should you consider installing new windows sooner rather than later?

  • New Features

Older windows usually have fewer features. Today’s models come with many helpful extras that improve the look and operation of your windows. Some features even make them easier to maintain. For example, some models have between-the-glass blinds that reduce dust in your home.

  • UV Protection

Natural light is lovely indoors. However, you don’t want ultraviolet rays to cause fading on interior surfaces, furniture, and home décor. New windows are available with double or triple panes with argon for UV protection.

  • Home Security and Safety

Strong windows mean improved home security for your family. Some models come with safety features like tempered glass that won’t splinter if broken. A new installation also provides you the opportunity to remove any broken or aging locks so that your windows are less likely to be used as a point of entry.

  • Indoor Noise Pollution

Noise pollution can affect your health and comfort. High-quality windows can be installed that shield your interior rooms from outdoor sounds. Some are specifically designed to maximize noise reduction.

  • Money-Saving Benefits

New windows can lower your monthly energy bills. They can provide better insulation so that your heating and cooling systems do not have to work as hard. They can also block sunlight during the warmer seasons to keep indoor temperatures down.

Installing new windows is a great investment for your home. They can make your rooms more inviting and help lower household expenses and increase your property value. Stop by or contact John’s Lumber in Shelby Township or Clinton Township today to learn more about new window features, installation, pricing and financing.

Will Building a Deck Improve My Home’s Resale Value?

April 2, 2019

John's Lumber Building a Deck to Improve Your Resale Value

There are many things you can do with your home, but not all of them are financially beneficial. Making changes or adding features can cost a lot of money. Most homeowners weigh the price of the investment with how much they will get back if or when they decide to sell. Decks are a popular find, but will installing one do anything for your resale value?

The Cost of a New Deck

Just like anything else in life, prices vary drastically based on product and accessories. The composite decking itself starts as low as $2 a foot and can go all the way up to $5 a foot. John’s Lumber’s team is experienced to guide you on best choices based on your needs and budget.

Do Home Buyers Want a Deck?

The good news is that a new deck is a smart investment. Many buyers want a deck. It can add curb appeal and functionality to your property.

According to a cost vs. value report published by Remodeling Magazine, homeowners recoup an average of 80% of the building cost of a new wood deck when they sell. Remodeled bathrooms only recouped about 78% followed by family room additions at 69%.

If you are ready to increase your home’s resale value, now is a great time to build a deck. Contact or stop by John’s Lumber in Clinton Twp. or Shelby Twp. to learn more or to get an estimate for your project.
