March Time to Spring Forward

March time to Spring Forward! The Spring Equinox is finally upon us, and it’s also time to remodel! The official first day of spring 2017 is March 20th.  Warmer weather is on its way, which most look forward to after a long, brutally cold winter.  There are some of us that associate spring time with spring cleaning, and opening up the windows in your home for the smell of the invigorating spring air.  This year, Easter will be on Sunday, April 16, 2017.  So get ready for the Easter Bunny to arrive, dyed eggs, and chocolate candies galore! 

Students will be celebrating Spring Break this month as well.  Many people will be attending spring festivals in their hometowns. Gardening is also a big hit in the Spring Time.  Flowers and trees are in full bloom, so it is the best season for gardening in most gardeners’ opinion.  Daylight Savings Time will also occur in March.  This year it will happen on Sunday, March 10, 2017, so don’t forget to set your clocks forward one hour.

March Time to Spring Forward

March Time to Spring Forward

For most Floridians, warm weather is not something that is sought after mostly because it’s warm nearly year-round.  But for those that reside in the northern states, often get excited about the anticipation of spring.  Spring washes away the snow, as the sun starts to shine brightly, bringing joy to those that endured a rough, dark winter.  The outdoor activities become much more enjoyable, and people tend to spend more time outside in the spring season.  The smell of fresh cut grass will be in the air as homeowners tend to their yards.  Children will finally be able to ride their bikes, play on playgrounds, and partake in pool or beach time with family and friends.

Easter is a holiday when families normally come together as one.  We visit with our loved ones, while eating great food, and hiding Easter eggs for the kids to hunt down.  There are a few traditions associated with Easter that you may have never heard of before.    The Easter Bunny tradition actually made its way over from Europe in the 18th century.  In Europe, they were known to refer to the Easter Bunny as “The Easter Hare”.  

The most common Easter traditions are making baskets, coloring/dying eggs,  egg hunts, and getting all dolled up in bonnets and fancy outfits. The traditional act of painting eggs is called “Pysanka”.  This originated in the Ukraine, and the eggs are painted with beeswax instead of dye.  In 2011, the tallest chocolate Easter egg was constructed in Italy.  It was taller than a giraffe and heavier than an elephant.  Americans consume over 16 million jelly beans on Easter and buy more than 700 million marshmallow “Peeps” during the Easter holiday. On Easter, the White House hosts an Easter Egg Roll on the front lawn.  This tradition was started by President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1878.

March Time to Spring Forward

Spring is often associated with the best time to plant a flower or vegetable garden.  Even if your thumb isn’t so green, it is all about trial and error with gardening, and anybody can do it.  All it takes is dedication and a little TLC.  Here are a few tips that everyone should know if you are planning on starting or repairing a garden this spring:  First thing you should do is prepare the soil.  You want to till the garden area 8 to 12 inches beneath the soil while removing any rocks and any other debris.  Make sure not to till when the soil is too wet, you may hinder the growth of plants and flowers.  Make sure to pluck out all of the weeds that have overtaken the soil. 

Next, you will want to fertilize.  Professional gardener’s and landscapers say it is suitable to use coffee grounds for your garden.  It is the more “green” way to fertilize and can be slightly less expensive than store-bought fertilizers.  Coffee grounds are filled with nitrogen (a mineral that aids in vegetable and plant growth).  Another tip is adding your cooking water to your plants.  Cooled cooking water adds nutrients and minerals to your plants that are left behind after cooking some of your favorite pasta and potatoes.  Chamomile tea is a great way to avoid your plants getting infected with bacteria and/or fungus.  Many gardening experts believe that planting your veggies, fruits, plants, and flowers at night will help your garden to grow faster. Planting at night also maximizes your water usage.

March Time to Spring Forward

Take this time of year to enjoy all that spring has to offer.  Plant a garden.  Go on a bike ride.  Sign up for the county softball league.  Go to the springs and rent a kayak.  Have a picnic with someone special.  Visit a farm to see the animals.  Pick strawberries.  Listen to the rain.  Feel the sun on your face.  Decorate your home with fresh flowers.  Explore.  Celebrate and enjoy Easter with family and friends.  Spring time has so much to offer, and the weather is marvelous!

Slab Leak Detection and Repair. Expensive GRU bills are one of the unfortunate things about being a Gainesville resident. However, if you begin noticing your water and power bill are becoming unusually high; you may be facing a leak in the foundation of your home. A slab leak is an industry term for when water begins leaking below the concrete foundation of your home.

Slab Leak Detection and Repair

Slab Leak Detection and Repair

Often, the culprit is copper water pipes, which can wear easily, causing serious damage. These leaks can spread and become worse over time, if not treated. Thus, early detection and remediation are extremely important in preventing further damage.

Here are some things you should look for if you think your home has a slab leak:

  • Hearing running water when all water is turned off.
  • If one spot on the floor feels particularly warmer than others.
  • Formation of mildew, mold or moisture underneath carpets.
  • The appearance of cracks in the walls or flooring.

Slab Leak Detection and Repair

Another helpful tool is to check your water meter. How much water is being used? Every month, the average household uses around 1,500 to 3,000 gallons of water per person. If you’re using more than this amount; it is important to have a professional and licensed business test for a possible slab leak. A very small leak, only millimeters in size; can add up to seven gallons per day and your water meter will spin showing water is flowing.

At Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling, our specially certified technicians are uniquely equipped to handle all aspects of slab leak detection and remediation. Because we utilize top-of-the-line equipment that can pinpoint exactly where the leak originated; in order to properly handle the solution. In addition, we use non-evasive, acoustic, line tracing and thermal cameras for leak detection.

Using this technology, we can provide you with written, photographed and video damage of the repair so you can be aware of how the leak started. It is also helpful information to share with your insurance company to speed up claim processing. We can handle all of your slab leak detection needs working with your insurance company from estimation to completion with a 3-year warranty to you our customer!

Easy Gainesville Home Upgrades

The Kitchen

  • Backsplash – A backsplash is a relatively small touch; that has the potential to add a unique pattern or custom accent color to your kitchen. It can also brighten up the entire room. Worth it? We think so! Cost of the materials can be inexpensive. Also, because it’s typically a one-day project, labor costs may be minimal as well.
  • Cabinets – Furthermore, replacing your old and outdated cabinets can get pricey. But, you can spruce up your kitchen’s color scheme by simply painting over them. Try black or a dark brown for elegant sophistication, or white for warmth.
  • Faucets and Handles – Crooked cabinet handles and rusty faucets got you down? Replacing or upgrading them will give your kitchen a subtle lift.

Bathroom

  • Medicine Cabinet – If you find your bathroom counter is too cluttered to deal with in the morning; consider investing in a medicine cabinet. So, depending on the style, it can serve as a chic and functional addition to your bathroom.
  • Tile – If your floors look worn and outdated, it can bring your whole bathroom down. Consider re-tiling your bathroom floor!
  • Update hardware – When it comes to the bathroom, it’s all in the details. Therefore, even replacing the knobs on your cabinets can make a difference. You may also consider replacing your doorknobs. The doorknob is the first thing you and your guests will touch and see upon entering the bathroom. Talk about first impressions!

Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips

Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips. Most people tend to think of air pollution as something that only happens outside; smog, ozone, or haze hanging in the air, especially as the weather gets warmer. But the truth is, the air inside your home may be even more polluted than the air outside. So, be sure to protect yourself from allergens and pollutants and mold using these tips.

Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips

Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips

Clean Sweep
It can be easy to ignore chores, but it’s important to clean your home regularly to reduce allergens and irritants. A thorough dusting with a damp cloth instead of a feather duster; is a great way to keep your air clean. But don’t forget to suck it up, mop it up, and keep it out! Vacuuming and then mopping will get rid of any particles that are lingering on your floors. In addition,  leaving a large floor mat at every door will reduce the amount of pesticides and other pollutants; that come in via the dirt on your shoes.

Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips

Mold

Most Floridians have experience dealing with mold. Since mold loves warm, damp environments, and that pretty much sums up Florida’s weather. But don’t let your home be a mold victim because most mold is preventable. So, be sure to follow these easy steps to avoiding hazardous growths in your home.

Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips

Be Proactive

If condensation is collecting around window sills, walls or pipes, dry it quickly. Increasing ventilation and air movement in moist rooms is the best way to prevent mold growth. Because in most cases, if a damp area is dried within 48 hours of a leak or spill; mold will not grow. Turn on a fan or open a window while or immediately after; showering, cooking, and dishwashing will also help prevent mold growth.

If you would like more information about; air quality, mold, and allergens, please contact the air quality specialists at Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling. Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling is a State Certified Mold Remediator.

Easy Gainesville Carport Conversions

Easy Gainesville Carport Conversions. Does your home have a carport but no real garage? You can add real value and curb appeal to your home by converting your open carport to a garage.

Easy Gainesville Carport Conversions

Easy Gainesville Carport Conversions

Five Reasons to Convert Your Carport:

  1. Storage that the neighbors can’t see.

Your garage is a private place to store your stuff; seasonal items, sports equipment, lawn and garden items, and craft supplies that are too large to store in the house. A carport leaves all of these storage items out for the whole world to see; as well as leaves them open to mildew, bugs, and rodents.

  1. Out of the elements.

In Florida, humidity is the enemy. You can convert your open carport to a garage; that’s tied in with the heating and air conditioning system in the rest of your home, which protects your stored items from mildew and heat damage. Even your car.

  1. Curb appeal.

When it’s time to sell your home, a closed garage is going to add curb appeal to your home; especially if the majority of your neighbors already have a garage. However, carport conversions are best left to the professionals- DIY conversions can make your home unsellable.

  1. More than just car parking.

An enclosed, finished garage can double as a playroom for your kids, a home office, craft room or a workshop; especially if you tie the new garage in with your air conditioning system. A closed garage can also store your home improvement tools; like saws and ladders securely, which can’t be done in an open carport.

  1. Make your house look larger.

Done right, a garage can really improve the look of your home and make it look much larger. What kind of roof will it have? What touches will you include so it complements the look of the house? So, let us help you decide and work out the details. In addition, we can make sure you have met all of the permits and zoning requirements.

Why move when you can improve? Contact us to discuss your carport conversion. Our reputation as a dependable construction company stretches throughout Gainesville, and the surrounding Florida communities. This comes from our commitment to provide quality construction, professional service, and sincere customer satisfaction. We are committed to providing the best value and quality construction available. But our real success comes from the relationships we continue to build with our clients.

Fall Remodeling Decisions

Fall Remodeling Decisions. To DIY or not, that is the question. It’s that time of year! When we’re anticipating the weather cooling off and finally enjoying an evening in your backyard.

Here are a few ways you can enjoy it:

Fall Remodeling Decisions

Relax outside this weekend in an arbor built for two or take a refreshing shower in your outdoor bamboo setup. What about making bird feeders so you can bird watch in the morning?

Fall Remodeling Decisions

To DIY or not, that is the question

Do-it-yourself projects (DIY) are a great way to save money and improve your home. Many projects are the perfect way to involve the family in creating new spaces or things. But, some projects require the help of a remodeling professional. So when should you be the pro and when should you hire a pro?

Assess your skills

Before starting any project, consider your interests. Do you enjoy working outside, getting dirty and physical labor? Many DIY projects are labor intensive. If you’re not ready for it, it’s best to hire a professional. If you’re not sure; ask friends or home improvement store employees who have done similar projects about their experiences to learn more. Knowing what steps are involved will you determine if your skill set will match the project.

Consider the costs

Do-it-yourself projects are usually chosen because they can cost less. However, unexpected situations may arise because of mistakes that lead to unforeseen expenses. There are times that a DIY project is doable and can save you money in the long run. But, if you don’t feel confident taking on a project; it may end up being more affordable to hire a professional. We offer free estimates, so give us a call today.

Do you have the time?

Are you a working professional who only has the weekends free? Or are you really busy all the time with your kids and family? Consider your availability before deciding to complete a remodeling project on your own. Some projects are only meant to last a couple of days, while others could take weeks or months. If you’re constantly busy, the time that it takes to finish the project may increase drastically.

Gainesville Restoration & Remodeling understands that the remodeling process can be stressful, but we want to help improve your home and make it one step closer to being your dream home! DIY projects are a fun way to challenge yourself. But, sometimes it’s best to hire a professional who can make sure it will be done correctly; saving you money in the long run.

Budget Remodeling Ideas. Remodeling your home may be a costly venture, but there are ways around breaking the bank to revamp your home; open up space and make your home feel like new.

Rearrange Your Furniture

Let your room breath.  Before committing to a full-on remodel, try rearranging your furniture. So, if the goal is to open up the space, avoid placing furniture near or across the entryway. In addition, removing pieces of furniture that interfere or block any natural lighting; will create a more inviting tone and help open up the room. Also, replacing dark window shades or curtains with sheer drapes can allow more light into the room to let it breathe.

Can’t bare the emptiness? Sometimes with larger spaces, it can be challenging to find the balance between filling the emptiness and cluttering the room.  A large throw rug can not only add a little depth and color but can also help eliminate echoes. Try pulling the furniture away from the walls. Also, organize the furniture in different directions to give your space a flow and logic. Proper placement of chairs, tables, and artwork can help guide your guests. Decide on a purpose or focal point for your space and then work around it.

Don’t Be Afraid of Color

Mixing and matching is OK. Older styles and trends focus on one color or pattern. Also, simply adding a splash or accent color can bring an old room back to life! So, don’t be afraid to play with schemes of color. Mix and match solid colored furniture or play with patterns and solids to add depth and texture.

No budget for new furniture? Reupholster a few pieces of furniture you already own or purchase some playful covers. Boom! No one has to know it’s the same old couch – It can be our little secret. Simply adding a variety of pillows and throw blankets is another affordable way to spice up an old room. If it’s a dining room or kitchen; new place settings and centerpieces can be a small way to make a fresh change.

Fixtures and Paint

Be green and recycle. Have antique furniture that you can’t bear parting with but can’t stand looking at? New knobs and fixtures may be just the trick to fool your annoyed eye. You can even use stencils to get creative and play with patterns in bathrooms or dining rooms.

Work smarter, not harder. Obviously, repainting a room will give it an entirely new energy. But what if you’re just not feeling that ambitious? Accent walls are the lazy remodeler’s best-kept secret. Therefore, choose one or two of the smallest walls in the room; then paint them in a bold shade that matches your color scheme. Also, this will increase the depth of your room and help add a third dimension.

Been There Done That

Some of you may be thinking, “I’ve just about exhausted every furniture formation and paint combination out there. I need something more extreme.” Well, before you go looking for a new home, consider renovating your current home! By refreshing your home with a renovation, you get to upgrade your lifestyle, keep your family memories, maintain lifelong friendships with your neighbors, and avoid the cost and frustrations of a move.

A total knockout. If your home was built in the early 80’s; you may have a lot of small rooms that need to be reconfigured to open up the space. A more modern and open interior can help bring your living space from a 20th-century parlor to a 21st-century entertainment room.

A little nip and tuck. When a makeover won’t do the trick, sometimes you need a little reconstruction. There is nothing worse than an outdated kitchen to bring down the vibe of your party. Trash the Formica and acrylic faucet knobs! A granite counter upgrade, backsplash and some new fixtures and cabinets; can take 20 years off the face of your kitchen.

So, if you’re ready to take the next step and get pricing and ideas for a remodel; contact us at Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling!

Remodeling Idea Boards

Remodeling Idea Boards. Do you have a dream remodel? Too many choices and you don’t know where to start? If so, bring your ideas into reality by creating a Remodel Idea Board.

Basically, there are two ways to create a Remodel Idea Board; online or on paper.

Remodeling Idea Boards

Remodeling Idea Boards

Online

First, Pinterest is a great place to create dream boards. Because Pinterest provides many ideas for every aspect of remodeling and interior design, down to the smallest detail. You can create as many “boards” as you like; one for each room, one for each theme, or one for each color or style you’re considering. Then you add all of the images to each board that appeals to you. We love using Pinterest for showing the wide range of styles and options available. The only drawback to Pinterest is the scope; there’s no limit to your choices, so narrowing down your style choices can be difficult.

On Paper

The other option for your Remodel Idea Board is on paper. This can be a large piece of poster paper or corkboard with images from; the internet, images from magazines, fabric swatches, even photographs. You can include anything that inspires you, such as a sea shell with lovely colors or a scarf. The paper Remodel Idea Board is only so large, so it forces you to make decisions; to really narrow down your choices until you find the combination that really works for you.

Once you’ve narrowed your ideas down, call us! We would love to assist you with all your kitchen remodeling needs from 3D design, blueprint/drawings, and permitting to completion.

All our costs and scope of work are defined and broken out; so you can see where the costs are associated with your project.

We know the importance of turning your kitchen space into your personal oasis; the importance of changing the way you live, and the importance of staying within your budget.

Rediscover Sleeping Porches

Rediscover Sleeping Porches. Have you ever slept on a sleeping porch? But, If not, you owe it to yourself to experience the slumber of a Sleeping Porch. Sleeping porches were common for many of the homes in the South around the 1920’s. Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling can design and build a Sleeping Porch for you.

Rediscover Sleeping Porches

Rediscover Sleeping Porches

Sleeping porches were born out of the recent discovery of germs in the 1920’s. Because the sleeping porch offered a healthy and comfortable escape from the potentially germ-filled indoor air. Since, in the early 1900’s, tuberculosis was the number one cause of death; and fresh air was the best treatment for people suffering from this lung ailment. The population in the southern states discovered that by building a screened, private porch; they could enjoy the cooler summer nights rather than sleeping in a stuffy and warm bedroom. In addition, the sleeping porch provided cover from sudden summer thunderstorms. In addition, it was open on two or more sides to catch the evening breezes. These porches became an especially popular place for children to spend their summer nights.

Sleeping on your screened porch is becoming popular again as people seek to spend more time connecting with nature. Also, you can convert your screened porch to a sleeping porch with the simple addition of a bed. But, you don’t have a screened porch? Well then, let us build one for you!

Hardie Fiber Cement Siding

Hardie Fiber Cement Siding. Picking the right siding for your house is a delicate balancing act between good looks, durability, maintenance, and affordability. Since, with wood, vinyl, stone, brick, or stucco, you might get only two or three of these. But with fiber cement, you get all four. Because it’s the only siding that combines the performance of masonry with minimal upkeep. In addition, Hardie Fiber Cement Siding is rot-proof, fire-proof, and termite-proof. Also, Hardie Fiber Cement Siding is unaffected by wind or cold. Furthermore, Hardie Fiber Cement Siding has the look of painted wood clapboards, shingles, even stone or brick. Therefore, fiber cement goes for just a fraction of the cost of these other materials. So, no wonder nearly 15 percent of new homes are clad with this siding.

Hardie Fiber Cement Siding

Hardie Fiber Cement Siding

  1.  Durability

Unlike wood or even vinyl siding, fiber cement siding is as strong as concrete. Fiber-cement siding composition may vary from company to company, but the basic recipe is; Portland cement, sand, and cellulose (wood) fibers. Because, wood fiber helps prevent cracking, as does a special curing process that leaves fiber cement with a low moisture content.

Fiber-cement siding has the durability of cement is impervious to wood-boring insects; does not rot, and is resistant to deterioration from salt and ultraviolet rays. In addition, Fiber-cement siding is low-maintenance, impact-resistant, and available in finished or painted options. That’s why most companies warranty their product for 50-years, which is proof of its durability.

  1. Fire-Resistant

Fiber-cement siding has a class 1A fire rating. It is 45 times more fire-resistant than even new vinyl siding and of course all natural wood sidings.

  1. Energy Efficiency

Older homes are often drafty and poorly insulated; which not only makes it hard to keep the home comfortable, it wastes valuable energy. You can kill two birds with one stone by adding extra insulation and improving your home’s exterior appearance with high-quality siding.

  1. Style

Covering the exterior of a home with new siding will certainly improve the home’s appearance. But, it’s the little things that add oomph and style. A little bling can make a huge difference! Whether it’s adding some extra chrome to a pickup truck or a scarf and some earrings to an outfit; it’s the accessories that set things apart from the crowd.

The same is true with your home’s exterior. Fortunately, while you’re replacing your home’s worn exterior with siding that mimics the appearance of wood; you can use trim pieces to add that something extra to your home that it may never have had before. In the case of older homes with ornate trim; the trim can protect and beautify the home while preserving its original style.

Decorative trim can be used to wrap corners, posts, window trim and other exterior surfaces that you might not have considered; all of which add maintenance free curb appeal to your home.

  1. Cost

Fiber cement siding is slightly more expensive than vinyl, but 1/3 the average price of wood, stone, even stucco!

Household Mold Health Concerns

Household Mold Health Concerns. Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling Mold Remediation. Molds are part of the natural environment. Outdoors, molds play a part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as; fallen leaves and dead trees, but indoors, mold growth should be avoided. Because molds reproduce by means of tiny spores; the spores are invisible to the naked eye and float through outdoor and indoor air. Mold may begin growing indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet. Therefore, there are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture.

Household Mold Health Concerns

Locating Mysterious Home Odors

We have all experienced the horrible smell of spoiled food remnants in the garbage disposal.  You may have even experienced the smell of a dead animal hidden between the walls of buildings and homes.  Maybe you have walked by a building only to smell something very pungent that you could not identify? Normally, these odors can be detected by our own human senses.  But, what about those smells that can’t be traced so easily?

Locating Mysterious Home Odors

Locating Mysterious Home Odors

Most people would cringe at the mere mention of sewer odors. The biggest problem with sewer and other airborne odors is that they are invisible.  Therefore, drafts can affect our ability to properly detect these odors.  This makes the search challenging because most sewer and drain piping components are behind the building walls.  Keeping this in mind before you begin tearing walls apart, you should consider calling a leak detection specialist.  Also, make sure to find a trained technician with the correct equipment.  Because we locate these mysterious sewer odors and sewer gasses using molecular analyzers and video cameras. These machines and cameras can identify certain gasses and inspect out of reach areas.

You want to keep in mind; that the test results may or may not determine that the odor you smell isn’t from your sewer.  In addition, sometimes animals, rodents, and reptiles will make their way into a structure and die within the walls.  Sometimes the odor can be from other buildings close to yours, especially during remodeling.  Whatever your situation may be, a detection specialist should be able to help identify if you; in fact, have a sewer issue.

Gainesville Florida Sinkhole Dangers

Gainesville Florida Sinkhole Dangers – Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling. Sinkholes are depressions or “holes” in the surface of land that occur throughout West-Central Florida. In addition, sinkholes can be shallow or deep; big or small. But, all are a result of the underlying limestone dissolving. Due to a process that takes sometimes thousands of years. As a result, the water gradually dissolves small parts of the rock; enlarging its natural fissure which creates cavities beneath. Also, sinkholes are called different things in many different countries. While some of these other names for a sinkhole include Shake Hole, Cenote, Swallow Hole or Doline. Sinkholes will often form gradually or suddenly.

 Gainesville Florida Sinkhole Dangers

Gainesville Florida Sinkhole Dangers

The visible signs that a sinkhole may be forming include; sagging trees or fence posts, doors or windows that no longer close properly, and rainwater collecting in unlikely places. There is not a definite way to know when a sinkhole will occur and shake things up. Some sinkholes are visible; while some may go unnoticed for some time.

Sinkholes can destroy homes and in some cases even cause death. Usually, these catastrophic sinkholes give you some warning over the course of hours. But, the entire state of Florida is karst landscape and an irregular limestone region; with sinkholes, underground streams, and caverns. Sinkholes are so common that insurers are obligated, by law, to offer coverage to homeowners who ask for it.

Gainesville Florida Roof Maintenance

Since your roof keeps you, your family, and your possessions safe from the elements. Maintaining your roof’s health is imperative not only to your safety but to your home’s appearance.

Gainesville Florida Roof Maintenance

Proper Roof Maintenance

When it comes to roofs, problems can escalate quickly. The slightest damage can lead to large costs and repairs. We’ve included some tips to help you prevent a roofing disaster.

Inspections

It’s important for either you or a professional to inspect the condition of your roof at least twice a year. Look for obvious problems – like loose, missing, or broken shingles. Because damage to shingles can leave a roof’s structure vulnerable to weather and water damage. You should repair or replace a roof if a roof inspector reports damage.

Cleanings

It’s a good idea to have a roof inspection and cleaning twice a year. Basic roof cleanings may include; cleaning leaves out of gutters, sweeping debris off the roof, and getting rid of moss and mold. This debris can cause roof rot over time. It is also a good idea to get a pressure washer to deep clean the entire roof.

Insulation and Ventilation

Proper insulation and ventilation are vital to a roof’s health. Make sure your roof is properly ventilated during the warm months; moisture and heat can break down the roof and allow for mold to move in. If the roof is not properly insulated during the cold months you may lose a lot of heat. Also, make sure nothing is blocking your vents or obstructing their flow. If the vents are old or in non-working condition; consider installing a new vent if you have the budget for it.

Gainesville Remodeling Project Tips

Gainesville Remodeling Project Tips – Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling. Making the decision to remodel your home is tough because there are so many variables. Furthermore, hiring the right company to help with the remodeling is important; which is why being aware of the necessary steps and what to look for in a contractor is critically important.

Gainesville Remodeling Project Tips

Gainesville Remodeling Project Tips

 

Get Recommendations

First, listen to what other individuals have to say about the company that you’re considering hiring. Because friends and family are a great resource; find out whom they’ve hired and their experience with the company. Also, one the most powerful resources today would be the Internet and social media. Websites such as Angie’s List, the Better Business Bureau or Google Plus will give you insightful reviews from past customers. In addition, ask for a reference list of past customers, and even material suppliers.

Plan Your Project

You have probably been thinking of this project for a long time, and you’re ready to tackle it! Before meeting with potential remodeling companies; it’s important to come up with an idea of what you expect and want to see as the end result. Ask the representative what materials you should bring to the initial meeting; so the company can best understand your needs and give you an appropriate estimate. Knowing what you want will make it easier when the company that creates the plans and specifications.

Time to Meet!

Once you have narrowed down the list of potential companies; it’s important that the company you choose can answer any questions regarding your project and put you at ease with any concerns you might have. Communication is key when working on projects in your home.

Get Estimates

Asking more than one company for an estimate is a crucial step. Every company has a different perspective on costs. Be sure to choose the one that fits your budget and your preferences the most. Keep in mind that going for the company with the lowest costs is not always the best decision. Ask for a detailed line item estimate showing allowances for fixtures, building materials, and permits. The golden rule is to get at least two estimates!

Put it in Writing

The contractor should draft a contract that states every detail of the project. It should include the payment schedule, the start and completion dates and specific materials that will be used. You should also require the contract to acquire lien releases. This protects you from any financial responsibility if your contractor doesn’t pay the necessary bills from subcontractors and supply companies. If there are any changes to your contract, a change order is needed. A change order is a written authorization to the contractor to make changes or additions to the original contract.

Home Remodeling Adds Value Comfort and Style

Home Remodeling Adds Value Comfort and Style – Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling. Making your home more comfortable; adding a new room or just improving the overall look of your home can be an exciting time. But one benefit that many people forget about remodeling is that certain projects; can actually add value for when you plan on putting your home on the market.

Home Remodeling Adds Value Comfort and Style

Some home renovations will bring you more bang for your buck than others, so which renovations should you consider?

The front door

One very important improvement is a new front door. Usually, a new front door will pay for itself in value increase. Not looking to put in an entirely new door? Sometimes just painting the existing door can provide a very similar end result.

The kitchen

The kitchen is the place where family and friends come together to create memories. When people are looking for a new home, they want a kitchen that can meet that need. Kitchen remodeling can be one of the most expensive remodels, but also the most rewarding one. When remodeling your kitchen, you can expect to gain back anywhere from 60 to 120 percent of your investment. The most sought-after countertop is durable granite. If granite is out of your budget, try laminate countertops that look like natural stone at a lower price. Fresh paint can also go a long way when updating the look of your kitchen.

Appliances

Have appliances that are older than 10 years? Consider investing in new appliances that use less energy. Because Energy Star appliances will save you money on your energy bills; and are a great long-term addition because of their quality.

Bathrooms

Outdated or non-functional bathrooms make your own life uncomfortable and are a big turn off to potential buyers. We have some great ideas in a recent blog post. Check it out!

Next time you remodel your Gainesville home; think of places that need the most improvement and will be beneficial in the long run. Please Contact Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling for all your remodeling help!

Keep it casual

Casual equals comfort. Consider how you’ve decorated your living room and bring some of those same elements; such as a comfy couch, lamps, and mirror – outside. Don’t make yourself choose between the comfort of your living room or the pleasure of your porch. Merge them to create a truly unique outdoor experience.

Add a breeze

Florida weather normally gives off a nice breeze, but for days when it’s lacking turn on a fan. A ceiling fan can be a practical and decorative addition.

Add greenery

Also, in lieu of a standard privacy fence, add a wall of shrubs or flowers. So, if you’re looking for a smaller project; hang several plants around the shaded deck to add both fragrance and curb appeal.

Mood lighting

For concentrated glows choose rustic lanterns. For more saturated but soft lighting, hang strings of white lights from the rafters. Sunlight is great for daytime, but these two tricks will make the evenings magical.

Stream music

Now that the setting and mood are completely relaxing and comfortable; stream your favorite tunes through an all-weather sound system, which can be found at your local electronics store.

Nothing will want to make you stay home more than having this personal retreat in your backyard. Enjoy your summer evenings with close family and friends. Please let us know how these tips worked out for you on the Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling Facebook page!
