Save Money: Add Curb Appeal and Value with Exterior Shutters











St. Charles, IL (PRWEB) February 22, 2010

Exterior Solutions has announced that it is planning to double its customer support staff to handle the rise in business as spring approaches.

The online exterior building supplies retailer carries every material of exterior shutters. This includes vinyl, wood, composite, fiberglass, urethane, and aluminum. Vinyl shutters are available in louvered, paneled, and arch styles.

Exterior Solutions sells directly to builders, contractors, and homeowners.

“Our always knowledgeable customer support staff will be available in sufficient numbers once spring comes around,” said Pat Spry, Product Specialist for Exterior Solutions. “People have been waiting for the warm weather to fix the outside of their homes, and will not have a problem reaching us by phone, live Web chat, or by email.”

As with most of its other products, Exterior Solutions’ line of outdoor shutters is customizable to the consumer’s specifications. The extra support staff will ensure each customer gets exactly what they need. In addition, the company guarantees prices that are lower than any other online or local building supplies retailer.

Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Warns Florida & Texas Homeowners About Allowing Your Homebuilder To Fix Your Knauf Tianjin Chinese Drywall Home

Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Warns Florida & Texas Homeowners About Allowing Your Homebuilder To Fix Your Knauf Tianjin Chinese Drywall Home












Washington, DC (Vocus) September 23, 2010

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is warning homeowners specifically in all of Florida, and or the metro areas of Houston, and Austin, Texas, and or homeowners in Alabama, Mississippi, or Louisiana who have Knauf Tianjin Chinese drywall in their home, or condominium to get signed up with the New Orleans Federal Court Multi District Litigation, as opposed to allowing the homebuilder to gut, and restore a toxic Chinese drywall house. The group says, “we think the average homeowner who has Knauf Tianjin toxic Chinese drywall in Florida, or the US Gulf States will get more money, and a much better job, if they participate in the MDL, as opposed to a builder fix. However, if your home has non Knauf Tianjin toxic Chinese drywall-and your builder has offered to repair your home-it may be the only good option.” The group says, “within the last two, or three weeks we have become aware of homebuilders sending letters to homeowners in Southeast Texas, and Florida about the possibility of toxic Chinese drywall being in their home. If you have Knauf Tianjin Chinese drywall, please call us so we can try to explain the options, and help.” Homeowners, who have received a Chinese drywall letter from their home builder are encouraged to contact the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center immediately at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is saying, “why are homebuilders all of a sudden sending out these toxic Chinese drywall letters to homeowners in all of Florida, and or Southeast Texas? Again if you have Knauf Tianjin toxic Chinese drywall in a US Southeast home, subdivision, or condo, we will help you get identified by the federal court in New Orleans.” The group says, “we have witnessed, and we have witnesses to homebuilder Chinese drywall fixes in Florida. In one example none of the repair workers were wearing masks, none of them spoke English, and they were loading the toxic Chinese drywall into the back of a pick-up truck.” The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “further, its not just Chinese drywall anymore. We are pretty sure domestic makers are involved in this mess as well. President Obama has been silent on the US Chinese drywall disaster since taking office-why? Where is the US Justice Department, or EPA?” http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is not a law firm, and this press release is not an attempt to practice law. However, the group is saying, “no one in the federal government is doing a damned thing to help these helpless homeowners in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and or the Houston, or Austin metro areas of Texas-we are, and we are not going to back down.” They say, “if you have recently received a letter from a homebuilder about possible toxic Chinese drywall being in your home-please call us immediately at 866-714-6466.”

http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.com

Note to the US Insurance & Banking Sectors from the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center: “Do you really think you are going to get a free pass on the US homeowner Chinese Drywall Disaster? AC coils in Florida were failing in 2003-people were sick. Why did you continue to provide mortgages, or insurance on toxic Chinese drywall homes? Talk about Bad Faith.”

(United States District Court-Eastern District of Louisiana MDL Case #2047)

bpENNOVATIONS to Launch Revamped Line of Aerix Attic Ventilation System — A New Standard in Attic Ventilation and Moisture Management

bpENNOVATIONS to Launch Revamped Line of Aerix Attic Ventilation System — A New Standard in Attic Ventilation and Moisture Management












Rutland, VT (Vocus/PRWEB) April 13, 2011

bpEnnovations along with building industry- leader Parksite are set to reintroduce the acclaimed AERIX Attic Ventilation System this Spring through a network of targeted dealer and insulation partnerships. The AERIX Attic Ventilation System is a patent pending cost-effective solution to a very common construction problem related to roof insulation and ventilation. The revamped AERIX system answers strong demand by insulation installers, general contractors, framers, and roofers throughout the U.S. and Canada for a more effective attic ventilation system that is easier to install than existing marketplace products.

“From architects to homeowners and everyone in between, protecting insulation from wind washing and moisture while also creating a proper ventilation channel has been a universal concern for all, but one without a universal solution,” said Kirk T. Moore, CEO of bpEnnovations. “Existing marketplace products all have major flaws. Aerix is more effective than all of the current choices for attic ventilation and is the only product that can be used with all types of insulation—batt, spray foam, blown-in and dense pack cellulose. Aerix is easier to install than any other product that has thus far tried and failed to address this scalable problem.” Moore explained that AERIX provides full ventilation whereas existing attic ventilation products only provide partial ventilation. Additionally the Aerix Attic Ventilation System protects attics from moisture and mold while preventing the formation of ice dams by maximizing the flow of outside air to the underside of the roof deck.

The original Aerix was introduced in May of 2010 and quickly gained accolades for its innovation and effectiveness, even being named by JOURNAL OF LIGHT CONSTRUCTION on their annual list of Innovative Products in the July, 2010 issue. “While the original Aerix was being well received, we felt we could make it even stronger by developing a product that could be effective for both new construction and retrofit applications, as well as being compatible with all insulation types”.

The revamped AERIX is made in the USA of 100% recycled PVC that adapts to all roof slopes and can be used with all types of insulation – including spray foam. Installation is made easy by way of the “friction fit”—no fasteners are required at the eave which is always hard to reach. A continuation panel interlocks with the eave baffle vent for extending the vent channel in low-sloped roofs with attics and cathedral ceiling applications providing an unobstructed path for airflow at the underside of the roof deck that allows moisture a path of escape from the roof assembly. AERIX is the first to provide a system for a ventilated spray foam roof assembly and is available for 16″ or 24″ construction. Finally the Aerix Attic Ventilation System is compatible for both new construction and retrofit applications.

bpENNOVATIONS is a Rutland, Vermont-based company with offices in Rutland and Bennington Vermont. AERIX is exclusively distributed by industry-leader Parksite, servicing the building industry as a wholesale distributor offering a wide range of exterior and interior building materials.

Protesting Real Estate Tax Assessments

December 25, 2010 / admin / One comment

Protesting Real Estate Tax Assessments










Boulder, CO (PRWEB) May 3, 2007

By this time of the year, most homeowners have received a notice from their local assessor’s office notifying them that their property values have adjusted. Most consider this good news, except for the fact that higher home values usually mean higher homeowner taxes. Most homeowners typically shrug their shoulders and pay their tax bill, but in many cases, this evaluation is negotiable. All a homeowner needs to do is provide some documentation showing that their home is not worth as much as their assessor’s bill says.

Automated Homefinder has released a free tool that allows homeowners to verify that their home is worth what their local assessor says it is worth. In the event a home isn’t worth what the assessor’s office says, that value can usually be adjusted. If you are interested in verifying the value of your home, visit Automated Homefinder’s free home evaluation tool. It could save you hundreds of dollars, if not thousands, on your homeowner’s taxes.

*Check with your local assessor’s office to find out the proper procedure for requesting an adjustment in your home’s value. This evaluation tool is for estimation purposes only, and is not to be considered a formal opinion of value, or an appraisal. This announcement is neither tax advice, or legal advice. Always check with your local Realtor, tax attorney, or an appraiser to accurately determine the value of real estate, and obtain tax advice.

Although Automated Homefinder serves the Boulder real estate, and Denver real estate communities, this evaluation tool can be used in almost any market around the nation to help estimate a home’s value. Visit Automated Homefinder’s free home evaluation tool to see what your home’s value might be.

Rouse Chamberlin Homes New Design Center Offers a Better Buying Experience

Rouse Chamberlin Homes New Design Center Offers a Better Buying Experience











Danielle Wood, Design Center Manager, assists new home buyers to customize their new homes.

(Vocus/PRWEB) February 26, 2011

Buying a new home involves a variety of important decisions for the new homeowner. They face a huge number of selections, including model, outside finish and color selections, interior fixtures, appliances and surfaces. These choices represent many elements which need to fit together seamlessly.

In the past, buyers have had to make those selections from small rooms crammed with limited and sometimes out-of-date selections. To save space, some builders offer printed materials that don’t correctly reproduce actual colors. The result was buyer frustration for what should really be an exciting experience.

The new Design Center from Rouse Chamberlin Homes in Exton Commons fulfills the promise of an exceptional home buying experience.

“A home is the largest single purchase people will make,” noted Design Center Manager Danielle Wood. “Home buyers will live in and with their selections for years. Our design center is the best of its kind in the tri-county area and ensures that new home buyers can make the right choices for their families.”

The Design Center offers every feature that buyers can use to customize their new homes. That includes hundreds of cabinet wood combinations, hundreds of countertop options and dozens of appliance options. “Our Design Center makes it easy for a buyer to visualize how colors and textures will merge together to become their new home. And we frequently update the Center resources so buyers always have access to the latest color trends and appliance features.”

Building an exceptional Design Center is one part of Rouse Chamberlin Homes’ commitment to superior buyer satisfaction. Their home building has received dozens of awards plus something even more important: high praise from owners. Rouse Chamberlin Homes’ buyers regularly offer exceptional testimonials on their houses years after the purchase. Dave and Janey Hughes’ comments are typical: “The quality and professionalism of the entire staff was truly impressive. All aspects of our home buying experience were extraordinarily positive.”

“We have extremely high worksmanship requirements,” explains Dave England, Rouse Chamberlin Homes President. “Our inspections are more stringent. We build the best quality home people can buy from a variety of aspects. Our buyers still offer us testimonials ten and fifteen years after they purchased their homes. We work hard to ensure that the buying experience is the best anyone can experience, anywhere.”

Contact Rouse Chamberlin Homes Design Center at 610-594-3742 or Danielle Wood at dwood(at)RCLTD(dot)com.

Since 1978, Rouse Chamberlin Homes has been building homes and thriving neighborhoods focused on the home buyers’ needs. The result has included exceptional customer satisfaction results and industry recognition including “National Builder of the Year” and “America’s Best Builder” awards.

Small Kitchen Remodeling Advice for Stay-Put Homeowners on HomeOpinion.com

Small Kitchen Remodeling Advice for Stay-Put Homeowners on HomeOpinion.com










Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) February 6, 2007

The end of the real estate boom has homeowners improving rather than moving, making remodeling resources more necessary than ever according to HomeOpinion.com, a community-driven kitchen improvement resource. According to a 2006 survey of 5,000 homeowners conducted by remodeling expert Dan Fritschen, homeowners are largely rejecting new home purchases and instead are remodeling their present residences.

Homeowners, on average, reported intending to remain in their current home for the next seventeen years, much longer than previous indications, writes Fritschen. HomeOpinion.com is meeting the increased demand for renovation and decorating information with a forum (http://www.homeopinion.com/kitchen/forum.php?tid=143&iname=Decorating-ideas-for-a-small-kitchen) on the subjects of small kitchen remodeling and kitchen decorating ideas.

The forum includes general kitchen remodel ideas and kitchen décor suggestions, such as:

Remodeling

    New cabinets and countertops

    Redoing kitchen floor

    New hardware for cabinetry

    Installation of space saving appliances

Decorating

    Keep décor monochromatic

    Pick accent color to draw toward the most pleasing part of kitchen

    Place accent color on nicest appliance

    Keep countertops as clear as possible

The forum also contains discussion of specific issues like kitchen remodeling costs and how to locate and choose items for a small kitchen, such as tables and chairs (http://www.homeopinion.com/kitchen/forum.php?tid=137&iname=Small_Kitchen_table_and_chairs_for_small_kitchen).

When asked about the 2007 housing outlook, Fitch managing director Robert Curran told the San Diego Union Tribune, “People are staying put and deciding to add an extra room or upgrade features of their existing homes.”

A study conducted by Focalyst, gathering data from more than 30,000 consumers from the baby boom generation and older, found that the majority of respondents want to remain in their present homes for the foreseeable future and plan renovations or remodel during that time. Of that group, 73 percent say the kitchen is their most important room.

HomeOpinion.com offers homeowners a place to connect with each other, get new ideas and share kitchen improvement experiences online. Through the commonalities of their experiences, homeowners can more fully explore the kitchen renovation process.
