This season is a good reminder to slow down, reflect, and spend time with the people who matter most. As my own family takes time to do the same, I’m reminded how much we value the people we get to work with and serve.

From my family, and from the entire team at Lawcorp Carpentry and Luxury Decks, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with health, peace, and momentum in all that you’re building. We look forward to continuing great work together in the year ahead.

🚨HGTV IS LYING TO YOU🚨

While renovation shows on TV make it look easy to transform a home, the reality is often very different. Many of these programs focus more on entertainment than providing an accurate picture of renovation projects. The costs and timelines shown can be misleading due to sponsorship deals and discounted materials, which often prioritize fast results over quality work.

In contrast, real-life renovations require careful planning, time, and attention to detail. At Valiant, we pride ourselves on delivering quality craftsmanship and using only the best materials for each project. We know that a successful renovation takes more than just a quick turnaround—it’s about creating lasting value and ensuring your home is built to last.

Thank you for choosing us to make your home addition or renovation a reality, with results that reflect the true effort and expertise behind every project.

🏡 There’s a very simple reason why all builders should understand building science—or, in other words, know how buildings work: because buildings, or at least parts of buildings, regularly fail.

Brian Pontolilo reached out to some regular FHB contributors and asked them not only what building science* mistakes they’ve made or often see, but how things could have been done better.

Emily Mottram's BS* Mistake to Avoid: Skipping necessary flashing details

"If we think about how a drop of water moves, we can picture the path it takes to travel into or through our buildings. To prevent damage, we need to direct the water toward drainage or a place where it can dry. Anywhere there is a change in material or plane (like a bump, jog, or extension) in a building’s exterior, consider how you can move the water around that detail to promote draining or drying in the most efficient way. For example, you need to tape the top and sides of a flanged window but should leave the bottom open to allow drainage and drying. It may seem counterintuitive, but if you tape the bottom and water gets in, it won’t be able to get out." —Emily Mottram, Mottram Architecture, Thomaston, Maine
