Procedures to perfection

When we get an idea it starts as pure thought we visualize all the things,perts & components.We may even hire an architect for our project but any way you slice it,this thought turns to another thought then another and so on,we may even shop for products or items that may comprise as components for this idea,take a trip to our local HomeDepot or Lowes storesto find something to aid us.When push comes to shove its all about assembly or the particular way we put it together.Now my expertise is in this field im constantly finding way of improving these ways,always looking at why this or that did not last as long here but not there,so before i agree to change or fix the results ill find the why first then price the project accordinley.Many of these efforts could have been avoided long before i got the call.There is one awesome product that i came across because they got tired of paying the painter this stuff is made by Xypexand its proved to make things completely more pleasant for their eyes and their checking accounts,fairly easy tricks to complete your project to last.keep comin back folks itll be worth your time

Home repairs

To last in this industry is too have accomplished something for sure,its hard work,not that glamorous,dirty and more often than not you are out in the weather.Home repairs and maintenance is an aftermath of not building it correct in the start.There are many many o-so many different,sometimes simple small techniques when executing all phases of manufacturing what ever it is you may be creating,your kids playhouse all the way up to a complete room addition.My self taught approaches has been a product of need more so than want ,but my clients want to know their options. There's a very good source for a lot of this information http://www.my-diy.net, this can allow you to look @ things differently.So after years of seeing all these separate construction fouls causing unwarranted wear and tear,I've found products and ways of improving many areas of home building.From a Home Depot/Lowes or my local Ace hardware have all the basics,from some sort of fastener to many types of specialty items we need @ the coastal homes that i have worked on.Most of this damage is a procedure that could have been avoided all together.
When moving forward on your next project understand and realize that if exterior conditions either extreme or mild given any amount of time,as soon as they have been finished technically are starting to fail immediately,its interesting to note that i've first hand witnessed such ordeals exist,came back to look again just a few weeks later and pointed out the noticeable failures,much to the owners chagrin so long story short many people in these vocations are very good at producing and making things look nice,but are ignorant to the facts because they hav'nt done any service work,post completion of these building/rehabbing projects.
What then would most any of us consider to be are grandest assets?For sure it's our homes,all homes that we pay property taxes/mortgages/maintenance costs on no doubt is our largest expenses.So for all of you hard working folks out there if you could have someone plant a seed of knowledge for you, it could easily have saved substantial amounts of time headaches and money.Stay tuned for more in the near future...........

Lets us help

I have experienced many facets of the building world from a tiny patio cover fabrications out of high school,to huge seaside custom homes.In all areas of constructing we can find blatant mistakes or very poor craftsmanship,these my friends are the easy part of any project,i mean to say it's really easy to do a crappy job take the money & run.But my experience is when you know the real difference it's almost in many cases just as easy to do a sound thorough job,so why mess @ all with the first part.My plight out there is to bring this to fruition to the rest of you,giving back to the masses is what i do,it's important to me,let others get it.Call the painter every 7yrs instead of three,construct or repair so they continue to perform as if they were brand new.If things are assembled the correct way that wont have to be fixed,repainted or demoed down completely unless of coarse your ready to upgrade to something bigger & better,my-diy.net
