TV Host & DIY Star Chip Wade Shares Innovative & Affordable Ways to Give Your Home and Yard a Tune Up

Spring is the Perfect Time for Homeowners to Tackle All Those Home Improvement Projects and to Get Ready to Break Out of the Pandemic and Make a Change.

Before the weather changes, it is time to assess, repair, and make upgrades to homes and landscapes.  In fact, creating a beautiful and comfortable living space has become a national obsession while sheltering in place, according to Chip Wade, the Emmy winning host of Elbow Room, Curb Appeal: The Block and several other HGTV shows.

THE BEST PLACE TO START

Before painting, make sure to seal any surfaces.  Professionals and anyone who is trying to DIY will be amped to try DAP’s new advanced hybrid sealants that outperform silicone in paintability, wet surface application, dirt pickup, and clarity.  DAP has leveraged the power of multiple technologies to create AMP, the ultimate hybrid sealant, which stands for Advanced Modified Polymer sealant.  AMP is water resistant and resistant to mold and mildew.  It is water ready in 30 minutes and is 100% weather and waterproof for window, doors, kitchens and baths.  Check it out at www.DAP.com

THE LAWN AND GARDEN

It is important to tune up any equipment each spring.  For that, start with Autolite Iridium Xtreme Start Spark Plugs to get lawn mowers, trimmers, and chainsaws running for a full season of outdoor work with longer life and sustained performance.  An iridium enhanced finewire center electrode helps resist fouling, allowing for a full season of outdoor work without having to change plugs.  For more information, visit www.autolite.com
