FITCHBURG -- Thinking about replacing those drafty windows? Still rocking gold and olive kitchen countertops from the Carter administration?
If this describes you, the Central Mass Home Show could be the ticket to a more stylish and modern living space.
"If you want to increase the value of your home, knowing it's difficult to sell a home in this market, you will find all the ideas and contacts to make it happen," event organizer Jack Weld said.
The annual event kicks off tonight at 5 p.m. For the first time in 20 years, it will be held at the Wallace Civic Center, 100 John Fitch Highway, at Fitchburg State University.
Sentinel and Enterprise staff photos can be ordered by visiting our SmugMug site.
The three-day event is expected to draw hundreds of people looking for deals on all kinds of home-improvement needs, from home security and new windows and siding, to cooking implements and pools and hot tubs, to bathroom remodeling, solar paneling and roofing.
The show started in 1970 at the Wallace Civic Center. By 1990, the city was no longer able to properly maintain the building, Weld said, so the show moved to the Royal Plaza Trade Center, which is now Great Wolf Lodge.
The renovations under way at that facility prompted organizers to bring the event back to its original home.

Although summer months mean a break for students, summer is also peak improvement season for school district buildings, and Chippewa Valley schools are set to undergo several upgrades in summer 2014.
Barton Malow Company representatives gave a presentation to the Chippewa Valley Citizens Advisory Committee on April 17 for a bond issue update on upcoming school building projects.
One item on the list that will affect buildings district wide is the concrete and asphalt repairs that need to be done.
Because this winter was so brutal, we have issues throughout the district that are going to need to be attended to, Chippewa Valley Assistant Superintendent of Business and Operations Scott Sederlund said.
He said that the district will begin to determine where the concrete focus will be sometime in May.
Also, the Cherokee drive is being replaced through the board awarded contract, Sederlund said.
According to the Barton Malow presentation, Cheyenne Elementary School in Macomb Township will get new multi-purpose room carpeting, new science room platform flooring and some new toilet partitions. Costs of Cheyenne projects are $40,000, Sederlund noted.
Fox Elementary School in Macomb Township will have its lobby ceiling and lights replaced, as well as storage cabinets in the work room. Existing countertops throughout the school will be upgraded, and the classroom faucets as well as the building back-flow preventer will be replaced. The fire alarm system will be upgraded and five air handling units and frequency drives will be replaced. Costs of Fox projects are $375,000, according to Sederlund.
Mohawk Elementary School in Macomb Township is scheduled for a series of upgrades, according to the presentation. These include creating a new front entrance feature and replacing the lobby ceiling/lights, creating an exterior fenced-in planting/garden area, replacing select glazed tile block around exterior doors and upgrading existing countertops. Sederlund said that the front entrance of the school will be remodeled to intuitively identify the entrance of the building, similar to what was done at Iroquois Middle School two years ago.
Other improvements include replacing classroom faucets, replacing some toilets, urinals and sinks, replacing variable frequency drives and upgrading the fire alarm system. Costs of Mohawk projects are $215,000, according to Sederlund. Continued...

There's probably no other surface in the houseother than perhaps flooringthat matches the range of product types and styles available for countertops. Examples include granite, engineered stone, glass, wood or butcher block and marble. Photo by Wanda Jackson

Choosing a countertop material can be confusing. There are the practical needs and differences to consider, as well as a kitchen's layout, style and character.
"When designing a new kitchen, typically we select cabinetry first unless a client happens to know exactly which counter they want," says Jan Goldman, owner of Kitchen Elements in Olney, Md.. Generally that isn't the case. So, Goldman advises selecting cabinets first, then "floors and counter come together as the next choice."
Another tip: "If a client is able to show me a handful of media photos (magazine or websites), I can find the thread of design details that appeal to them," says Goldman. "Once 'the feel' is established, we move into a conversation about wear and tear, housekeeping talents, who will be using the kitchen on a regular basisWe need to be mindful of children using the kitchen, and of course, financial comfort for the expenditure."
Countertop materials range from natural to synthetic, from inexpensive to pricey, from practical to well, less practical. Here is a roundup of several popular options:
Marble comes in a variety of colors and patterns, has a smooth surface, won't chip or dent and is heat-resistant. However, it tends to be expensive (averaging $100-$400/foot); it can be scratched or etched by acids (citrus, coffee, alcohol and some cleaning products), even if it's sealed. If you are cautious about spills and seal your countertops several times a year, marble is a good option.
Granite is more durable than marble, low maintenance, won't scratch, resistant to stains, heat and water if sealed, and has high resale value and tons of color options. However, it is expensive (averaging $100-$400/foot) and normally requires resealing at least once a year.
Engineered Stone such as Silestone, Cambria and CaesarStone are nonporous, resists scratches and stains, is easy to maintain and does not require a sealant. It looks like natural stone (it's at least 90 percent quartz) and can be mixed with pigments for custom color. The material will withstand limited exposure to heat without burning or scorching; however as advised by slow cookers and electric skillet manufacturers, these appliances should not be placed directly on an engineered stone countertop. Always use trivets when placing hot items on any natural stone or quartz surface to avoid thermal shock. Engineered stone averages $50-$150/foot.
