Importance of Radon Testing

Getting a radon test done during a home inspection is crucial, especially if you’re purchasing a new construction. Radon levels can vary, and it’s essential to ensure the safety of your living environment. The EPA recommends that radon levels should be below 4.0 pCi/L (picocuries per liter), though the European standard is even stricter at below 2.0 pCi/L.

Mitigation Costs and Options

Radon mitigation involves installing a system to reduce radon levels in the home. Costs can vary depending on factors such as access and system complexity, ranging from $1,500 to $2,000. While mitigation systems may be somewhat of an eyesore, they provide peace of mind and ensure the safety of your home.

Conclusion

In summary, prioritizing radon testing during a home inspection is essential for ensuring a safe living environment. Understand the recommended radon levels and mitigation options available to you. While radon mitigation may incur additional costs, it’s a worthwhile investment in your health and safety.

Follow the links below the pictures for instructions onÂ how to give your home a weekend makeover!

Spray Paint Old Lighting Fixtures

Donâ€™t be so quick to throw out old fixtures. An outdated gold or brassy dining table light could be an easy and affordable fix with the right tools. Change the look of your entire dining room by spray painting the fixture and replacing the bulbs.

Paint The Front Door

Some people prefer a bold pop of color, some people prefer a dark stain. Try looking up some fun color schemes and figure out what would look best with the color of your exterior as well as shutters if your house has them.

Refinish Carpet Steps

Rip up the carpet and brush on some stain. Turn your drab staircase into a chic and eye-catching feature in your home. Stairs are a very heavy traffic area in any house, causingÂ carpeted steps get dirty and turn dark quickly. By removing the carpet and adding stain to the top of each step, you will create an overall cleaner image and environment in your home.

Create Some dimension

Stencil on some high gloss paint over flat paint. You can find large stencils at most craft stores. This project is perfect for a small accent wall. The effect works best when both paints are the exact same color.

You don’t always need to knock down walls and spend thousands to give your home a makeover.Â Always be careful to overlook a home because it seems a little plain–sometimes all it takes is a few weekends and a little paint to make your home feel brand new. Â When a buyer walks in your home they are looking for reasons to eliminate it. Â Don’t give them that option! Â Not sure where to start contact Danielle Edwards and she will guide you with a target list to get your home ready to sell.
