Diamond Certified Expert Tip: If you don't have the money to take on a complete home remodel, focus your attention on the two most important rooms of your housethe kitchen and bathroom. Upgrading these rooms will add value to your home and make the whole house feel more livable. Consequently, it's a good idea to look for a contractor who has specialized experience in kitchen/bathroom design and renovation.

Diamond Certified Expert Tip: Pay close attention to your car's wheel wells. The undercoating can peel away or the tires can throw up stones and dirt, causing the paint to flake and chip and inviting rust. If you find any rust, sand the area down to bare metal and repaint with a rust-inhibiting paint. To clean your wheel covers and rims, spray them with a brake dust remover and wash them with soap and water.

Diamond Certified Expert Tip: If your house is covered with lead-based paint, removal is the best way to avoid dangerespecially if the paint is chipping, peeling or damaged. Removal should only be performed by an EPA Lead-Safe Certified painting contractor who will take precautions to trap any paint chips or debris. Don't try to do it yourself; you can be held liable for environmental contamination caused by poor removal methods.

Diamond Certified Expert Tip: When planning a kitchen remodel, consider including a Green option like natural lightingnot only will it help reduce electricity costs, but it can change the entire mood of your kitchen. While you're still in the design phase, choose large windows and accommodate space for proper ventilation. Many kitchens don't have proper airflow, so it's important to strategically place vents and fans.

Diamond Certified Expert Tip: When vacuuming loop-pile carpets, use suction only, not a vacuum with beating or brushing action. Carpet sweepers are useful for picking up surface soil, but they don't deep clean. Use a spoon or dull knife to loosen solid material, and blot liquid spills with a toweldon't rub, scrub or brush. If you use a cleaning solution, apply it to a blotting cloth and avoid saturating the carpet.

Diamond Certified Expert Tip: If you're hiring a moving company to handle your move, make sure you leave the heavy lifting to its employees. You might think you can save some money and speed up the process by helping, but if the company's insurance doesn't cover damages or injuries, you'll be held liable if something goes wrong. If you want to save time and money, pack durable items like books and clothes beforehand.

Diamond Certified Expert Tip: When packing for a move, set aside a box that you'll open first upon reaching your new home and fill it with toiletries, a few changes of clothes, a bath towel, luxury items such as books, eating utensils, plates, cups, snacks, general cleaning supplies and writing utensils. Label this box and keep it in your vehicle or at the door of your moving van so you'll have access to it as soon as you arrive.

Diamond Certified Expert Tip: It's normal for your car's brake pads to gradually grind brake dust onto their surrounding tires, but if you go too long without cleaning them, the combination of road grime, moisture and brake heat will bake the dust onto your wheels. Brake dust normally clings to wheels by way of static electricity, so it can be easily removed with a sponge and clean water.

Diamond Certified Expert Tip: If you're trying to quickly sell your home, make sure you depersonalize it to make it more attractive to a broad range of people. Look at your house objectively rather than sentimentallyyou want potential buyers to imagine themselves living in your home, and that can be difficult if they notice pictures of your friends and family everywhere.

Diamond Certified Expert Tip: Primer doesn't provide much in the way of absorption, so if you're painting a stucco surface on your home, it's important to choose a product that will adhere to the stucco effectively. The preferred product in this situation is sheen primer, which doesn't require a lot of absorption in order to bind to a surface.
