As more material costs become more expensive for mold professionals, clients are also disputing to finalize the project and pay for the work. The added costs are creating a challenge for many mold professionals to get paid and complete projects correctly. Molderizer.com announces a new technology which the company claims to remove at least one person in labor and cut material cost by 35% from a project.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida (PRWEB) February 05, 2012
Molderizer.com states, mold contractors are now claiming more mold remediation projects are ending without full payment. This has became all to clear for the mold contractors in the Guillmette School. While their is a large dispute between ethics and project performance. It appears mold remediation contractors are in a bind to receive full payments for work that they claimed have completed.
Mold contractors working on the Guilmette School, which displaced 1,300 students and staff for most of the school year has finally been re-open. But the multimillion dollar mess from the mold is not entirely been wiped clean as the Eagle Tribune reports below:
"Several subcontractors who sent scores of workers into the school to scour the infested ducts and rip out the soggy insulation, tiles and wallboards say they've been stiffed by the general contractor who hired them to get the $1.9 million cleanup done within the tight deadlines set by the school district. They say they may sue."
"They haven't paid us a dime, and we don't know how to get paid unless we apply pressure," said Tim Robbins, owner of Servpro of the Seacoast, a Dover, N.H., company that was one of four Servpro franchises hired for the Guilmette job by Servpro of Lawrence, the job's general contractor. Robbins said he had up to 85 people working on the cleanup and is owed about $650,000." You can read the news story here
Molderizer.com has been reaching out to mold remediation professionals who have been having similar issues. The on going costs and worry of future outbreaks may ruin many of the mold professionals hard work and reputation.
Finally after negotiations with it's elite clients who had exclusive access to Molderizer.com mold remediation products. Molderizer.com has reported that they will be making it's line of non-toxic mold cleaners available to the public and other mold professionals.
Molderizer.com stated "The new technology being released will allow mold contractors to quickly kill mold and prevent it from coming back. Molderizer and Safe Shield are two of our newest green mold killing products, that also encapsulate surfaces to prevent future mold amplification."
"This new technology has already saved our private clients thousands by reducing labor costs and preventing any worries from legal ramifications that are caused by mold projects having a re-occurrence of mold after a mold remediation has been completed."
Molderizer.com has reached out to many mold contractors to offer a new technology to subside costs and improve profits by applying their newest mold remediation products, called Safe Shield and Molderizer.
Currently, till the end of February mold remediation professionals can receive a complimentary sample of the mold remediation kit. Get access to this complimentary sample at http://www.molderizer.com

Will Mold Remediation Professionals Have A Harder Time To Get Paid In 2012? Molderizer.com Offers A Solution

Mold Remediation | Comments Off on Will Mold Remediation Professionals Have A Harder Time To Get Paid In 2012? Molderizer.com Offers A Solution
WASHINGTON — Do you fit any of these descriptions?
- You came through the housing bust and recession far more debt-averse than you were before.
- You’ve been reluctant to consider selling your house because you don’t believe you’ll get what it’s really worth.
- Buying a new home is out of the question, even with today’s low interest rates, because it’s so difficult to qualify for a mortgage.
- You’ve gradually come to the conclusion that it’s smarter to improve the house you already own — spend some money on making it more comfortable, more up to date — and just stay put for a while.
Whether you share them or not, sentiments such as these are having profound effects on real estate markets across the country, fueling post-recession interest in remodeling. In fact, according to federal estimates, by late last year the annualized dollar value of expenditures on renovations outstripped expenditures on newly constructed single family homes — a huge change from pre-recession years, when the ratio was sometimes 3-to-1 in favor of new construction.
Underscoring this trend: In late January, the National Association of Home Builders’ remodeling market index hit its highest level in five years. It’s not that remodeling is moving into boom territory, said David Crowe, chief economist of the association, but rather that for many consumers, fixing up their house now fits their sentiments — and their finances — far better than selling or buying.
Interviews with builders and remodelers in different parts of the country point to important changes in homeowner strategies. In Seattle, Joe McKinstry, president of Joseph McKinstry Construction Co., says inquiries about possible remodeling projects have nearly tripled in the past 12 months.
“I feel like people are starting to say, ‘Well, we’re not going to move anytime soon because, if we do, we’re going to get 30 percent less than the house is worth. Why don’t we do something in the kitchen or bathroom for our own enjoyment, since we’re not going anywhere real soon?’”
Generally the projects that people want to do are no longer on the grand McMansion show-off scale, but smaller, more modest, less costly efforts than five to seven years ago, with more emphasis on finishing details and quality than square footage. “Now (owners) are being much more judicious about how they spend their money,” said McKinstry.
Bob Peterson, chief executive of ABD Design/Build in Fort Collins, Colo., also is seeing a significant jump in interest in renovating, especially from owners who have been in their houses for years, have built up some savings and managed to get through the recession without falling behind on their mortgages.
The average project that Peterson’s firm is doing now costs about $45,000, and 90 percent of his clients are finding ways to pay cash.
“If they’re financing anything, they’re not telling us about it,” said Peterson, who is also chairman of the Remodelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders.
Bruce Case, president of Case Design/Remodeling of Bethesda, Md., agrees that because of high underwriting hurdles in the mortgage market, the majority of his remodeling clients are tapping savings, retirement accounts, liquidating securities and the like. But 20 percent of his firm’s dollar volume still involves some form of financing, particularly for higher-cost projects.
Where do these folks go for their money? Case says local and regional banks and credit unions are increasingly important sources. They tend to know the local real estate environment better and “are willing to look at (applications) more holistically.”
Some clients are successfully using the Federal Housing Administration’s renovation financing program known as “FHA 203(k).” Others who have solid equity stakes, high credit scores and other assets that they can bring to the table are convincing large national banks to give them a mortgage. And a few are pulling on lines of credit that weren’t yanked or slashed during the recession.

Remodeling momentum builds in post-recession market

In times of economic hardship, "do it yourself" is a tempting mantra for many homeowners with dripping faucets, running toilets, leaky windows or sticky locks. The savings can add up when you don't have to call a repair person, especially for things like painting, plumbing and appliance repair, said Ken Collier, editor-in-chief of The Family Handyman. "Parts are a small part of the cost. Labor is huge," he said. And if things go wrong? With a small job, Collier said, "Worst case, you have to hire a pro and eat some crow."
There are some home repairs, of course, that an unskilled homeowner should avoid, among them "situations where having heavy equipment makes the job go much better, especially outdoors," Collier said.
Avoid jobs where you could injure yourself or damage property.
Chris Long, a member of the Home Depot do-it-yourself team, recommends calling an expert to replace a tub or shower valve, or do more involved electrical work. And while "any reasonably careful person can hang drywall," Collier said, taping it to cover the seams and joints is "very much an art where a practiced hand makes a huge difference."
But many other household repairs and projects can be tackled by a do-it-yourselfer who takes the time to learn what's required.
David Frank of Libertyville, Ill., does just about all his own home repairs and remodeling -- "from electric to plumbing to concrete. Any of it can be done." He started working on his first house, a fixer-upper he bought in college, to save money.
"I had to learn to do it, or it wasn't going to get done," he said. Over the years, he has taught himself by reading books, watching home-improvement TV shows and talking to experts.
Besides the money saved, there's "definitely a sense of accomplishment" in doing the work himself, he said.
His advice to beginners: Use common sense, take your time and read as much as you can. "The Internet is unbelievable," he said.
When taking on a project, begin by finding out where in your home you turn off the water and gas, and how the circuit breakers work. If you need a professional to show you, hire one.
You'll also need a good set of tools. Collier recommends such things as a 20-ounce straight claw hammer, a utility knife, linesman's pliers, a flexible putty knife, a four-in-one screwdriver, a cordless drill-screwdriver, a 25-foot measuring tape and an adjustable crescent wrench. Add to that a plunger, groove-joint pliers and duct tape.
If you're going to do any electrical work, be sure to have a voltage sniffer. "Electricity is scary stuff, and a voltage sniffer is a really safe way to know everything is off," Collier said.
There's a wealth of material online, including videos for the do-it-yourselfer.
Even unskilled homeowners should be able to do some basic appliance repairs, Collier said, such as changing a dryer belt.
And as winter approaches, homeowners can do a lot of weatherizing themselves, including adding insulation, and applying adhesive-backed, foam weather stripping to prevent cold air from seeping in around doors and windows.
Other jobs that a do-it-yourselfer can learn include repairing drywall, replacing a deadbolt, or installing a new light fixture or ceiling fan.
Plumbing repairs also can be accessible even to the novice.
"A toilet is really a very simple mechanism and the parts are readily available to change out," Lipford said.
First, the cause of the problem has to be diagnosed. Find information online, in books, or talk to a worker at your hardware store.
If the toilet is running, for example, one way to figure out what's going on is to add a little food dye to the water in the tank, said Long, of Home Depot. If the water in the bowl turns the same color, the flapper valve is likely the problem. The flapper seals the tank, then lifts to allow water to flow into the bowl when the toilet is flushed. If the seal isn't tight, water will leak into the bowl.
It could be that the chain connecting the flapper to the handle is too long or too short. Adjusting that could fix the problem. Or, it could be the flapper itself.
In most cases, the flapper snaps out and you can easily replace it with a new one. But first remember to turn off the water to the toilet. It's also a good idea to bring the old part to your hardware store to make sure you're purchasing a compatible new one.

Appliance Repair | Comments Off on Home repair: Do it yourself or go with a pro?
In the summer time, when the suns temperature is it at its highest, it is essential that there are adequate areas of shade provided around the home`s exterior that will allow for some protection from the suns rays.
Small terraces and patios may benefit from a simple sun parasol, but the majority of homes will require much larger areas of shade to be provided that can accommodate seating areas to allow for alfresco eating with friends and family..
Increasing in popularity, one of the easiest ways to introduce shade around your home is to install sun awnings or patio awnings. With the increase in the awareness of skin diseases from over exposure to the harmful effects of the suns uv rays, it is no wonder homeowners are looking at ways of protecting their families health.
Sun awnings are ideal for home installations as the take up no space on the ground. They are fixed to the wall above head height and when not in use and are barely even noticeable. When the weather dictates, the awning can be easily retracted to provide as much or as little shade is necessary. For hotter climates or where the awning will be used frequently, electric sun awnings are normally specified. For only occasional use, a manually operated sun awning is generally more than adequate.
Sun awnings can be fully customised at the time of ordering. With endless fabric designs to choose from in a wide range of bespoke sizes, there are patio awnings available to meet any shading application. Awnings are such a versatile product that they can be installed into many locations including patios over windows and doorways etc.
Domestic sun awnings tend to fall into 3 categories
The cheapest form of awnings are open cassette awnings. This style is basic in that the fabric roll and mechanism is still visible when the awning is retracted. This means that an open cassette awning is not really suited to being left out over the winter months as the rain and frost can start to rot the fabric over a period of time.
Semi cassette awnings are slightly better at dealing with being left out for prolonged periods. Although still slightly exposed to the elements when closed, the awning fabric is at least protected from the elements.
The premium type of sun awning is the full cassette awning. The full cassette completely covers both the awning fabric and retractable arms from the elements and from view when not in use. Also because the cassette provides protection against the weather, a full cassette awning is ideal for automation using remote controls or wall switches. Full cassette awnings can be left out throughout the year.
You can also now buy sun awnings direct from many online retailers that will be delivered to your door. So why wait, invest now.

Lansdale,PA (PRWEB) February 05, 2012
Custom Craft Contractors was recently honored with both local and regional Contractor of the Year (CotY) Awards for a bathroom renovation in the Under $30,000 category. The local awards were presented by the Bucks-Mont Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) at a ceremony held at the Joseph Ambler Inn in Montgomery Township, PA on Friday, January 27, 2012.
CotY Award winners were selected in a blind judging process by an impartial panel of industry experts. Judging focused on problem solving, functionality, aesthetics, craftsmanship, degree of difficulty and entry presentation. As a regional winner for this project, Custom Craft is in the running for the National Contractor of the Year Award. The National CotY award winners will be announced in April at the NARI Evening of Excellence.
The CotY Award winning bathroom was a collaborative effort between Custom Craft Contractors and Interior Decorator, Pat Nunan, owner of Lifestyles Design. For this project, the two companies teamed to create a barrier free, wheelchair-accessible bathroom for a homeowner diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease.” By designing and building a beautiful, yet accessible bathroom, they enabled this husband and father of two young sons to live independently and comfortably in his own home for as long as possible.
In addition to the Contractor of the Year Awards, Custom Craft received a Meritorious Award for a kitchen renovation in the $80,000 to $120,000 category. Michael Foering, Vice President of Custom Craft Contractors was also recognized as Committee Chairman of the Year for his role as the Chairman of the Education Committee for the Bucks-Mont NARI chapter.
NARI Chapters are not-for-profit trade associations committed exclusively to the service of the professional remodeling industry. The NARI remodeling contractor is pledged to uphold the Association's Code of Ethics and is dedicated to the professionalism and integrity of the remodeling industry.

Homeowners looking for new flooring have an option beyond carpet, ceramic tile, wood and standard vinyl.
It's called luxury vinyl tile - and plank - and it's the hottest category in flooring today, said Bill Daley, the owner of Abbey Carpet Gallery in Davenport. Made by several different manufacturers, luxury vinyl has many different looks, including ceramic and wood, but with more warmth and less maintenance and expense.
Daley is one of the many exhibitors who will be at the 34th annual Home Show of the Quad-Cities Home Builders Association on Friday-Sunday, Feb. 10-12, at the QCCA Expo Center, Rock Island. The show is an opportunity for the public to meet many different building, remodeling and financing businesses all in one place and perhaps get started on a home improvement project.
There are three layers in luxury vinyl; the top is a protective wear layer that provides durability and resistance to scratches and scuffs. The second layer is the printed design that provides realistic ceramic, stone, wood or other visuals. The bottom layer is the tile backing.
Luxury vinyl can even look like fabric, and Daley has done a recent installation in which three colors - gray, cream and clay - were mixed to create a kind of checkerboard pattern in a kitchen/dinette/laundry area.
Luxury vinyl planks are also popular. "And with today's digital imagery, you cannot tell the difference between this product and hardwood," Daley said. The product even has a textured grain. And it's much easier to clean than wood, which is averse to water.
If one of the tiles were to get dinged, it could be removed with the application of heat and a new tile put in its place.
The price is about $9 per foot installed, compared with about $10 (and up) per foot with tile, Daley said.
In the area of carpet, patterns - in both texture and color - are popular, Daley said.
And advances in manufacturing technology are creating softer, less scratchy carpets. Daley admits he was skeptical at first, wondering whether a soft yarn would stand up to wear, but it does.
Another product Daley will be showcasing is decorative glass tiles that add sparkle to backsplashes and showers. It's more costly than ceramic, but you don't use as much. "You get a lot of bang for the buck," he said.

New flooring options: Luxury vinyl, soft carpet
It won't be long before Rocket Donuts lands in Fairhaven, and it's bringing along one other retail business.
Construction of a new building on the corner of Harris Avenue and 11th Street is scheduled to begin in March and be completed by the end of the year, said Teri Treat, a spokeswoman for Rocket Donuts. The building, which has 3,325 square feet of retail space on the main floor, will be home to Rocket Donuts, A Lot of Flowers (which currently resides on that property) and a new business called Fat Pie Pizza Restaurant.
While construction is taking place, A Lot of Flowers will move into the vacant space next door to the downstairs portion of the Colophon Café. Once the building is completed, A Lot of Flowers will move into a 690-square-foot space on the Harris Avenue side of the building, which will feature high ceilings, plenty of glass windows and an outdoor nursery retail area.
Fat Pie Pizza Restaurant will have about 955 square feet of retail space, featuring two levels of seating and a rooftop bar/event space. The restaurant concept is still being developed by the Rocket Foods company, Treat said.
The Rocket Donuts space will have nearly 800 square feet of space, which Treat said will have a variety of colorful interior elements and outdoor seating. The Fairhaven Rocket Donuts also will be home to Acme Ice Cream, featuring at least eight ice cream flavors. The 25-foot rocket sculpture will remain at Rocket Donuts' downtown location.
The building was designed by RMC Architects and construction will be done by Bellingham's Pearson Construction. Treat said they specifically chose a construction company they thought would be sensitive to the needs of the neighborhood.
"We know construction can be disruptive and this will happen in the heart of Fairhaven, so we'll try to get it done as quickly as possible," Treat said. "We really want to be a good neighbor."
With the addition of a second Rocket Donuts and the Fat Pie Pizza Concept, the company has also added a couple of people to help head up the projects. Chris Kenney was hired as director of food operations while Kirstin Pole was named general manager of Rocket Donuts.
BELLINGHAM FLORAL SHOP ON THE MOVE
Life's a Party, a floral and event studio, is moving from its spot at 121 W. Magnolia St. to 1306 Cornwall Ave., near the Holly Street intersection.
The move will take place Wednesday, Feb. 15 so it won't interfere with Valentine's Day orders, a holiday that's the biggest day of the year for flower orders, said owner K.C. Kippenbrock in a news release. Kippenbrock bought out the former Johnson's Floral Shop on West Magnolia Street in 2006 and changed the name last August.
Kippenbrock said the move provides more visibility for Life's A Party and the open layout makes it easier to interact with customers about floral arrangements.
Life's A Party is open 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. Delivery service is available in Bellingham and other nearby communities. For more information, call 360-733-6600.
The floral shop is moving into the former spot of Urchins, a Bellingham children's clothing store that left the space last month. Owner Kathleen Emmerson said on her website (urchinsboutique.com) that she is still selling products online and is looking for a new spot to reopen her store.
OTHER TIDBITS
• You may have noticed that owner Jesse Cantu changed his restaurant name in Fairhaven from Milagro Mexican Grill to Jalapenos Mexican Grill, matching the names of his two other Bellingham restaurants. He originally came up with the name Milagro as a tip of the hat to his favorite brand of tequila, Milagro Tequila. The tequila company contacted Cantu, asking if he would change the name, so he decided to honor that request. Everything else about the restaurant, including the staff and menu, remain the same.
• Torrid, a women's clothing store that features products in a variety of sizes, announced it is coming to Bellis Fair mall, occupying a spot in the Macy's wing. The company has several stores in Washington, including at the Northgate Mall in Seattle. In other Bellis Fair news, Boss Wear, TeaQuent Shop, Coalson's and Safari Mini Golf have closed. The owners of the TeaQuent Shop are directing customers to visit the company's other store, Spice Hut, at 131 W. Kellogg Road, near Best Buy.
• Battery City, which sold a wide range of computer and phone batteries, has closed its Bellingham store, which was at 1031 N. State St.
• With the passage last fall of Initiative 1183 to allow private stores to sell hard liquor, the applications are rolling in to the state liquor control board for a spirits license. Among Whatcom County stores, recent applications submitted include Costco, Fred Meyer on Lakeway and Deals Only at 2331 James St.
