Tuesday, January 17, 2012. Little Things Mean a Lot. Monday, January 9, 2012. When building or remodeling you need to watch every dollar to make you spend it wisely. There are very few people who are a bigger fan of saving money than I am, but sometimes saving a few dollars now can cost you dearly later on. This is very true when it comes to garage doors. You can be penny wise and pound foolish here. The worst case I saw was a home that apparently used the less expensive doors (this was new home). Sad to...

Tuesday, February 19, 2013. Recently I returned from a six-week assignment in New Jersey where I inspected damaged homes for the Small Business Administration. The homeowners applied for loans to re-build following Hurricane Sandy and I provided the estimate needed for repairs or reconstruction. The second most common problem was decks. Those that were installed correctly seemed to come through the flood in good condition. Those that had the posts barely into the ground floated and warped and nee...I am ...

HandyFolks, Inc.: Insurance check up
http://handykc.blogspot.com/2011/03/insurance-check-up.html
Tuesday, March 15, 2011. I work on-call with the federal government doing damage assesments following natural disasters. This is the season when I review water damage. I see home after home where the owners thought they were fully covered only to find out they have zero coverage. Is there a river or stream anywhere near your home? Rising water/flood is not covered under your typical policy. You may need to buy flood insurance under the federal program. Your agent can help you buy this coverage. I am a li...

HandyFolks, Inc.: Door-to-Door Predators
http://handykc.blogspot.com/2013/07/while-there-are-good-people-who-sell.html
Sunday, July 14, 2013. While there are good people who sell door-to-door there are, sadly, many who prey on our older citizens. Too many are too trusting and do not know what to do once they've been taken advantage of. To get help avoid these predators we installed a new door bell button for one of our clients. It makes it very hard for anyone to say they did not see the sign. View my complete profile.

Monday, March 10, 2014. With the warmer days it's time for you to do to the annual walk around of your home. Look at all the windows and doors to be sure the caulking did not crack during the winter. All the ice and snow that sat on your sills and trim could have caused water damage and wood rot. If the caulk is maintained you will have a lot less of this. It doesn't take much effort or time to prevent large repair bills down the road. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am a licensed residential contractor ba...

HandyFolks, Inc.: August 2012
http://handykc.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 7, 2012. On a recent show on HGTV I saw a huge “no-no.”. A young couple looked at 2 houses, picked one and put in a bid. Their bid was for the asking price, which was considered market value. When they found out there was a competing bid (they did not know how much it was) they increased their bid by $50,000! WAY over market value. That is $50,000 they will never get back. It was an emotional knee jerk. While I don’t sell real estate, I do remodel and update houses after the purchase.
