Whether you’re building a new house or are in the
process of remodeling your present home, you should
be aware of the low maintenance features and long
life of solid vinyl before you choose an exterior siding
material.

Once vinyl siding is properly applied, it gives any
home a freshly painted look while providing the
homeowner with years of freedom from repainting
and tiresome upkeep. A simple soap and water rinse is
all that is required for maintenance.

Vinyl siding’s easy maintenance — combined with

siding.

Constructed of tough PVC (polyvinyt choloride)
compound, it cannot corrode or dent like aluminum
and will not chip, peel or rot like wood. Color is
molded clear through the panels so that even scratches
will not show.

While it is important to invest in good quality siding
materials from a reputable manufacturer, it is equally
important 7o select a professional home improvement
contractor whose work you can trust.

It's a rule of thumb that the overall quality of a job
is only as good as the craftsperson doing the work.

Ensure that home is safe and secure

they’re an easy access to your door
locks.

An electronic security system
will notify you and the poli.. if
windows or doors are opened in an
attempted burglary. And the secu-
rity decal on these windows may,
by itself, drive burglars away.

Picked! But deadbolts give a higher
degree of protection than spring
tocks, which can be opened in se-
conds.

9. Standard window locks are
far too easy to open. A second
lock, made especially for windows,
will add more protection.

think of, a burglar can think of

too. Leaving keys with a trusted
neighbor is better.

11. Open windows and doors are
a security risk, but no one wants to
keep the house closed up all the
time. With many security systems,
you can enjoy the fresh air of an
open window while still protecting
other entrances.

12. Overflowing mailboxes and
piles of newspapers are a signal
that the homeowners are away.
Arrange with a trusted neighbor to
have your mail and newspapers
picked up regularly to create the
appearance that the residents are
around. If this doesn’t work for
you, have the post office and
newspaper discontinue service until
you return.

For each question you answered
“A,"" sive yourself one point, for
“B,”’ two points, and for “C,”
three points.

How did you do? According to
Honeywell Protection Services,
homeowners with up to 19 points
had better be careful. Your home
could be an open invitation to
burglars.

If you scored from 20 to 27
points, you’ve made a good start,
but your home safety plan needs
work.

And, if you scored 28 or more,
you’ve established a good safety
plan. You’re obviously a security-
conscious individual.
