Remodel Smart:Know the Language

NEWHOMES MESSAGE

Here’s a glossary of some of the common

terms used by builders and remodelers to

help you understand the language of your

remodeling project—

Allowance: A specific dollar amountallocated by a contractor for specified items

in a contract for which the brand, model

number, color, size or other details are

not yet known.

Bid: A proposal to work for a certainamount of money, based on plans and

specifications for the project.

Building Permit: A document issued bya governing authority, such as a city or county

building department, granting permission to

undertake a construction project.

Call-back: An informal term for a returnvisit by the contractor to repair or replace

items the home owner has found to be

unsatisfactory or that require service under

the warranty.

Certified Graduate Remodeler (CGR):A professional designation program offered

through the National Association of Home

Builders (NAHB) Remodelers Council™.

To attain the CGR designation, a remodeler

must take a specified number of continuing

education courses and must comply with

a strict code of ethics.

Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist(CAPS): The CAPS designation wasdeveloped by the National Association

of Home Builders and AARP. CAPS

professionals have been taught the strategies

and techniques to meet the home

modification needs of home owners who

want to continue living in their homes safely,

independently and comfortably, regardless

of age or ability level. CAPS graduates pledge

to uphold a code of ethics and are required

to maintain their designation by attending

education programs and participating in

community service.

Change Order:Written authorization tothe contractor to make a change or addition

to the work described in the original contract.

The change order should reflect any changes

in cost.

Cost-plus Contract: A contract betweena contractor and home owner based on the

accrued cost of labor and materials plus a

percentage for profit and overhead—also

known as a time-and-materials contract.

Draw: A designated payment that is

n educated shopper is a smart shopper. This especially holdtrue in the world of hiring and working with contractors tomake improvements to your home. As you interview potentialcontractors, being able to understand the terminology they

use can help you avoid miscommunication and ensure a smootherremodeling experience so you and your family can enjoy your newor updated kitchen, bathroom or room addition even sooner.

My first big, real job was workingat C.E. Lee Company as a decoratingconsultant and then a branchmanager. I got a wonderful educationon all the basics of decorating—like how to hang wall coveringsand what paint to use where, and,what problems occur when youdon’t follow the rules. It was thenthat I began my love affair withBenjamin Moore®.

Over the past several years I’ve noticed so many

changes in the paint stores, new brands that were

not familiar to me (with low VOCs). What in the world

are VOCs?

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are emitted as

gases from certain solids or liquids. VOCs include a variety

of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-

term adverse health effects. There are much higher

concentrations of VOCs found indoors than outdoors.

They are present in paints, varnishes, and wax, cleaning

products, cosmetics, and fuels. All in all it’s a pollutant

that stays in the atmosphere. When you paint a room,

latex paint takes around 3 weeks to cure, and all the while

it’s emitting the VOCs.

As I mentioned, my favorite paint was Benjamin Moore

but now I don’t even recognize any of the cans on the

shelves anymore. I went into Snyder Paints in Goshen to

talk to Dale and Greg in order to get the lowdown on the

new products. There, I discovered, the only paint on the

market that contains virtually zero VOCs is Benjamin

Moores’ new Natura. Benjamin Moore developed a wholenew colorant system (the tints they use to color the paint).

This new system has zero VOCs. This interior paint is

odorless and is the greenest paint on the market. Cost

will typically run over $50 per gallon. There is also a

contractors paint called Eco Spec that is also zero VOCs.

The standards for measuring the amounts of VOCs are

based on the can, not the colorant. So, if you are using

another company’s paint and it states that it’s low VOCs

but you have it tinted, you’ve just added more VOCs.

Other major paint distributors are jumping on the band

wagon to try to keep up with Benjamin Moore.

They also have several other products that are low

VOCs: Aura and Ben (a lower priced value paint).

When painting furniture and woodwork I still, being

of green soul and mind, love oil based paint. Being in the

When you are gathering equipment,be sure you have the correct brushesfor the paint you’ve selected—naturalbristles for oil paint; synthetic brushesfor latex paint. Angled brushes areperfect for cutting in around trim.

If you are going to use rollers, matchthe nap of the roller to the texture ofthe walls. The more textured the walls,the thicker the nap of the roller.

I love to use canvas drop cloths.They are almost a one time purchasebecause you can use them over andover. Paint can easily smear with aplastic cloth. Old sheets just aren’tabsorbent enough, and you may findpaint on the floor when you arefinished.

Professional painters recommendpriming walls first even if they havebeen painted before, especially if youare covering a dark or bright color. Youwill get better coverage if you tint theprimer first with some of the topcoat.

If you need a break during painting,simply wrap your brush or roller inplastic wrap or seal in a plastic bag.If your one weekend project has turnedinto two, don’t worry about cleaningup twice if you are using latex paint—wrap your brushes or rollers again andput them in the freezer. You’ll need tothaw them for an hour before they areready to use again.

An easy way to keep track of the paintused from room to room, is to simplywrite the information on a piece ofmasking tape and put it on the backof the light switch cover.

If you have more paint than you willneed for possible touch-up, considerdonating the extras to Habitat ReStore.

Contact your local Solid WasteManagement District if you have paintor solvents that need to be disposedof. These items are hazardous wasteand should never be put down thedrain or put in the trash.

GREEN DESIGNER TIPS & INSPIRATION

a

business of selling furnishings, I don’t like to compromise

quality. I’m sorry, but you just can’t beat the wearability of oil.

When I asked Dale about oil vs. latex, he said even the oil

based paints have had to change the last few years to meet

the new standards. The quality is not as high as it once was.

The standards will have to change again by October, but,

being in the “rust belt” of America we will be one of the last

states to go without the oil paints. Both the east and west

coastal states have banned it, and, now Ohio—so it’s getting

down to crunch time.

I also wanted to get the opinion of a paint contractor

(Jeffery Cooper), to see what his take on the low VOCs

products were. For interior trim he likes to use the new water

based Alkyd. He said it goes on like Benjamin Moores’ Satin

Impervo, and spreads out nice and smooth. Jeff isn’t crazy

about the newer interior wall paints because they don’t go on

as smooth, this is the result of their fast drying time. “It’s a

lot more work for the homeowner and professionals to make

it look as nice. These paint products are new, and they haven’t

perfected them yet,” he said.

Do you have a basement shelf full of old latex paint

(harmful chemicals), and you don’t know what to do with

it all? Well, let me tell you—this is something that I was the

most excited about! You can take your latex paint (that has

not been frozen) to Snyder Paints in Goshen. A small, family-

owned paint company called RepcoLite is taking the old paint,

testing it, bringing it up to quality standards, and then tinting

it in Pottery Barn colors. They give you $1/gallon credit

pay for services completed to date. A draw

schedule typically is established in the

contract.

supplier to place a lien against your property.

the project, and a detailed list or description

of the known products, materials, quantities

and finishes to be used.

Punch List: A list of work items to becompleted or corrected by the contractor,

typically near or at the end of a project.

Subcontractor: A person or companyhired directly by the contractor to perform

specialized work at the job site—sometimes

referred to as a trade contractor.

home, including a checklist for selecting

p.s. from Bernie:
