Posted on October 2, 2010 by

Winter is coming!  Before we know it, we will be lighting fires in our fireplaces and bundling up before we head outdoors.  Although winter is a common time for household troubles, you can prevent common occurrences by winterizing your home now. 

Deal with your windows: Now is the time to take down the window screens and put up storm windows, which provide an extra layer of protection and warmth for the home. Storm windows are particularly helpful if you have old, single-pane glass windows. But if you don’t have storm windows, and your windows are leaky or drafty, you may need to be update to a more efficient window.

It’s Official!

Dedhico, LLC has completed the requirements for EPA’s Lead Certification Program! 

Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to adults and children.

To protect against this risk, on April 22, 2008, EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and other actions aimed at preventing lead poisoning. Under the rule, beginning in April 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.
