YES! NOW is a good time to invest in your Home or Business

Picking the right time to complete a project can be difficult.

One of the most important factors to consider is getting the best return on your investment. With the considerable decline in the price of oil, the costs of many building products are falling.

Additionally, because there’s a decline in demand for building activities, we are also seeing some declines in prices of material.  This means that now, because our costs are lower, those savings can be passed on to you without sacrificing any of the excellence, craftsmanship and attention to detail that we are known for. This means that your investment has a higher return!

There are also plenty other of financial incentives for those who act now. Tax credits, “go green” incentives, and lower heating and cooling costs, are all good reasons for you to look into "green" projects.  We have even seen commercial tenants make improvements that increased business and went right to their bottom line.

Then, there’s always the reward of pride, enjoyment, and more value in your residence or business.  There is unfortunately no way to know how long these lower construction costs will continue.

Q – I was considering buying my father the iRobot gutter cleaner. Right now he climbs up on a ladder and does the job by hand. Do you know if this gadget will make the job safer for my father?

- Penny Griffen

A – Penny, I’ve seen these things in action and I wish I could tell you that it would make this job safer for your father but the simple truth of the matter is that it will not.

I am a big fan of iRobots vacuums, but the gutter cleaner…not so much. It requires constant supervision and attention, can get stuck even in light debris, and therefore requires several trips up and down the ladder.

Our building partners and I believe that no homeowner should be working on a ladder in this manner. Being in this business, I can tell you that a single mistake can result in life-long injuries or even worse. The best thing to do is to have the gutters cleaned by a professional who has the daily experience working under those conditions and is properly insured, or install a maintenance free product.  Remember to do your homework because even a "simple" product like a gutter cover can cause problem if installed improperly.
