Home with Dean Sharp

The key tenet of what makes a house a home is design — it matters most! 

Today’s first caller has a hardwood floor that she apparently needs to oil every year. But she wants to know if there’s a product she can use so she doesn’t have to do that task annually.  

Next up, our caller wants to seismically retrofit his 1325-square-foot home that was built in 1954 by bolting the foundation to the house — but he’s been quoted nearly $80K! 

Lastly this hour, does Dean believe a ’70s-built home requires a home warranty plan?

Snakes up your pipeline! At the top of our next hour, a homeowner’s plumbing contractor tried to clean her clogged laundry line and the clog turned out to be much murkier than they realized. 

Our next listener is redoing his kitchen with quartzite countertops and has questions regarding undercounter or under-slab lighting. 

Is a skim coat a good idea instead o painting when you want to zhuzh up your exterior stucco?

Dean talks all things pools and spas.  It's summertime and it's going to be hot this year, so you want your pools and spa to be in tip top shape.  Dean talks about designing the perfect pool and spa and how to properly maintain them.   Dean also fielded calls from listeners regarding a 'living pool eco-system,' a water leak in a home originating from the roof, how to find a pinhole leak in a pipe, how to remedy seeing particles in the hot water, is it flaking from the plumbing and what to look for when an inspector comes out to inspect a home you're thinking about purchasing
