What to Do When The Unexpected Strikes Your Home!

Planning a remodel can be an exciting time in one’s life. Remodeling because of a home disaster can be very unsettling. Receiving a phone call when you are on a trip from your neighbor that water is running out the door of your house can ruin anyone’s day.

Returning to find your house has flooded will force you to rethink how this disaster could have been avoided. We will share with you in the coming weeks the steps we will take in restoring this Tempe home to its original state.

One tip I want all homeowners to do immediately is replace their washer hot & cold supply lines with the newer metal reinforced hoses. These hoses will help protect a hose from bursting prematurely. The second tip is always shut off your hot & cold water supply lines to your washer while you are away. This will help give you “Peace of Mind!”

We are about to start the rebuilding stage, reinsulating the perimeter house walls – now onto drywall replacement!

As Earth Day approaches all of us start to think about how we can do our part to live a more “Green“ life. This can start with just a few baby steps. Replacing some of your existing light bulbs with CFL bulbs is a good place to start. Take a look at your home’s electric bill. If money is flying out of your pocket then it’s time for a whole house energy audit.

Without knowing your home’s energy deficiencies you could not know what areas to correct first. Get the full audit results & then make a plan to get your issues corrected and start saving money now!

Sometimes you just don’t know where to begin when it comes time to remodel. At times it requires some patience and perseverance. It also requires some knowledge on how to proceed. It can be dangerous when it involves some Monsoon storm damage.

At this stage of the game it pays to consult a professional as some projects may be just a little bit over the average homeowner’s head. Situations like this also provide an opportunity to make changes to your home and actually improve something that you already had. Remember things happen for reasons in life and I always try and find the positive in any situation. In any case the best place to find that information is as close as your radio!
