SHOW NOTES:

  • Patio Makeover: Old, worn concrete patios get new life with an easy DIY paver makeover.
  • Preventing Bathroom Mold: Keep bathroom mold and mildew at bay by reducing moisture with these ventilation tips.
  • Garage Door Styles: Attractive garage doors add immediate curb appeal with updated styles to complement your home.

    Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.

    • Cleaning Brick: Mortar stains are hard to remove, but Gail gets tips on how to safely use a stiff wire brush or drill attachment without damaging the brick.
    • Cracked Tile Floor: Dan’s tile floor is probably cracking because it wasn’t installed properly. He can replace them as needed or replace the tile floor after installing a flexible uncoupling membrane underneath.
    • Faulty Closet Light: Ming has a closet door light that doesn’t come on and sometimes arcs. That’s a fire hazard that needs to be replaced immediately.
    • Leaking Windows: Water is leaking through the top of the windows under a rotting gutter. After fixing the gutter and fascia, Dan should monitor the leak to see if he needs to remove the siding and replace the flashing.
    • Updating a Bathroom: The dated green tiles around Peg’s bathtub have got to go! A whole bathroom renovation may be a better option than painting, reglazing, or adding a fiberglass insert.
    • Plumbing Noises: There’s a loud banging in the basement whenever someone uses the toilet, shower, or laundry. Nicole may need to secure the pipes, install a water hammer arrestor, and check the well pump.
    • Replacing Soffits: Mike is thinking of replacing the soffits on his garage with Hardie plank, but we advise him to use a different material in a color that complements the siding.
    • GFCI Outlets: Do GFCI outlets need their own circuit breakers? The circuit breaker is actually built into the outlet and Belinda can use an outlet tester to be sure they’re grounded.
    • Bathroom Mold: Bathroom mold keeps coming back, no matter what Matt does to remove it. He gets tips on improving the ventilation and using caulk with mildewcide.
