Spring Cleaning

During the late spring season wash your deck and inspect it for any debris, mold and dirt. Purchase some cleaner and scrub your deck from top to bottom including the railings. Keep an eye out for any signs of animals or wood-eating insects. If need be purchase a sealer or stain and apply. We recommend you use oil-based stains, they will not peel as much as regular paint or solid stain. The extra coat will also protect the wood from rough Edmonton winters.

No plants

It may surprise you to read this, but plants on your wooden deck can do more harm than good. Many pots create dampness and mold, eventually causing your wooden deck to rot. Hang your pots instead, it will give your deck a floral touch without fostering dirt, grime, and mold.

Year-round Maintenance

During the summer, sweep your deck regularly and check for any loose nails. Check the underside of your deck: inspect the posts, beams and posts. If your luxury deck has one, check the ledger that attaches your deck to the rest of the house. During the winter, shovel the snow from your deck as quickly as possible. Keep your home’s gutters and downspouts in good conditions.

On average, decks are a solid investment – returning 77% of their original cost. Having them in good condition will keep your deck safe, looking great and ready for your next BBQ.

The west-central Edmonton community of Westmount is one of the city’s oldest areas. Despite their maturity, Westmount homes have retained their whimsical beauty and signature characteristics.

Westmount has been recognized for its historical value since the 1980’s when homes within a 9 block radius were named as the Westmount Architectural Heritage Area. Since numerous architectural structures in Westmount are seen as historical monuments, they are protected by the Edmonton Historical Board.

With its welcoming tree-lined streets, Westmount offers amenities such as shopping and entertainment within walking distance. Due to its proximity to downtown Edmonton, Westmount’s population has rapidly grown to over 5,000 residents.

Recently The Vancouver Sun featured an article about a condo in Calgary that sold for $8.3 million! Edmonton’s high end condo market isn’t quite there yet, but with the revitalization of our Downtown area the market is certainly growing. Right now the Paranych Luxury Team is marketing a $1.1 million dollar Edmonton Penthouse property downtown in the brand new Quest condo building near Grant MacEwan’s campus.

With Edmonton’s growth, someday in the future we will also have luxury high rise properties like this fantastic feature property in Calgary.

Calgary condo sales have reached new heights after a luxury unit fetched a record $8.3 million, before construction has begun.

The 5,260-square-foot condo will cover the entire 12th floor of the 15-storey development called The River, located along the Elbow River, which flows through the southern portion of the city.

Already, more than $30 million in real estate has been spoken for in the project, which includes 38 residences — 27 units in the tower and 11 town houses.

Anne Clarke, director of sales for The River, said eight sales have been completed and three deals are pending.

“These (buyers) are business leaders. They are leaders in not only business, but in our community,” Clarke said.

Other sales in The River have included units for $5.7 million and $5.5 million.

The top-floor tower unit is listed at $9 million.

“It signifies we really do have a need for this type of product,” Clarke said.

The buyer of the $8.3-million condo was not identified, but is described as a longtime Calgary oil and gas executive.

The highest MLS condo sale previously in Calgary was $4.1 million in 2011.

The most ever paid for a single-family home was $10.3 million, in 2009.

The River concept is luxury estate condominiums that offer the benefits of an estate home without the challenges of security and maintenance, said Clarke.
