Whether you are redecorating, remodeling or building a new home, you’ll find information pertinent to your project at the 46th annual Tri-State Home Show.

The annual expo sponsored by the Home Builders Association of Greater Chattanooga and EPB Fiber Optics opens today for a three-day run in the Chattanooga Convention Center.

This huge expo will feature 237 vendors displaying their products in more than 450 booths. Every aspect of home-building is covered, from roofing to basement waterproofing.

Elaborate displays lure visitors with the latest looks in kitchens, baths, windows, flooring, brick work and tile. Landscapers and designers set up impressive vignettes showcasing their creativity.

Teresa Groves, executive officer of the Home Builders Association, said new vendors will include Garage Shapeups, Buff & Coat, Bernina Sew N Quilt Shop, Carpet Wholesale Outlet, Two Sisters & Jane Interiors, ERMC Security Solutions and Integrity Storm Shelters.

Also new to the show are HGH Construction, Cox Interiors, Decorating Den Interiors, Wood Creations & Restorations, Liquid Landscapes Aquatic Design, Landscape Illumination, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, Osteen Construction and Soot Busters Chimney Sweep.

Groves stressed that the show isn’t just for folks who are remodeling or building.

“A lot of people just want to come and look at what the newest trends are. We have a lot of home accessories and home products that people can buy,” she said.

To entertain children, Groves said, “Star Wars” characters will be on-site Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

To entertain their dads, a visit to the “man cave” is in order. Groves said the Home Builders Association is presenting the new man cave: an indulgence in state-of-the-art sound with a TV and pool table.

Groves said a portion of the weekend’s proceeds will benefit Habitat for Humanity of Chattanooga and the American Red Cross’ tornado relief fund. Both nonprofits will have booths in the expo for visitors to learn more about their work.

Flash Flood Hits Ririe Home

Q. Is there a relatively easy and positive repair for an annoying water hammer that occurs in the hot-water line to the master bedroom bathroom sink in our house? It’s been going on for years, and I’m concerned it may cause damage. This is a three-story townhouse; the bedroom is on the top floor.

A. Water hammer doesn’t usually damage plumbing, but it can certainly be annoying. Luckily, what needs to be fixed isn’t usually tucked inside walls that would need to be opened up to make the repair.

Most often, the problem is a failed gasket in the pressure-reducing valve where water comes into the house. Replacing this valve, including the part and labor, costs less than $300, according to Connie Hodges, operations manager at Wacker Plumbing & Remodeling in Sterling (703-450-5565, http://www.wackerplumbing.com).

There are other possible causes, ranging from things as simple as a loose washer to air trapped in piping. Like a skilled birder, an experienced plumber can listen to the noise and identify what the specific sound means. Irvin Schools, a plumber for 39 years and co-owner of H&S Plumbing and Heating in Herndon (703-437-6966), says it usually takes less than half an hour to diagnose the cause, because the sound is such a good clue.

“It depends on whether it’s a chatter or a steady thump,” Schools said. Chatter usually means a problematic washer or valve. A single thump often points to trapped air within the pipes. Fixing that can be as simple as turning off the water, draining the pipes and then refilling them.

Plumbers charge wildly different rates, but folks with the lowest prices sometimes know a lot less than those who charge more, so in the end you don’t always save by going with the lowest rate. H&S charges $120 for the first half-hour and $35 for each 25 minutes thereafter, plus parts.

I recently had my basement waterproofed and painted. Now I would like to put in shelving for box storage, but the shelving units I want are 18 to 24 inches deep, and that is too deep for a footing ledge that runs on two sides of the basement. Both the height and depth of the ledge are somewhat variable, but generally it’s about 6 inches high and 15 inches deep.

Is there shelving with adjustable legs so the front can be longer than the back and extend over the ledge? Or do I just need to hire a carpenter to build custom wood shelves?

Alexandria

Here are a few ideas:

Set the shelves you want on the ledge and add adjustable legs at the front to support the overhang.

Or shop for cabinets and shelves made for garage storage; these often include adjustable legs because garage floors usually slant toward the door. You might be able to omit the legs in the back and install legs that adjust to 6 or 7 inches in the front.

Or buy a wooden shelving system with adjustable shelf heights. Determine where to install the bottom shelf so it will be higher than the ledge, and simply cut off the legs in the back to match the ledge height at that spot.

Or bring in a carpenter and get shelves built exactly how you want them.

My rental apartment has vertical blinds. They make a lot of noise when I open the adjacent windows, and the pieces fall out. I’m tired of reassembling them and want to replace them, even if the landlady refuses to pay for the change. I’ve been thinking of putting in a sheer for light during daytime, with a heavier curtain for night. The total width of the window is about 12 feet. Any suggestions?

Hawaii

Two options are panel track blinds and vertical pleated shades.

Panel track blinds, also known as sliding window panels or panel tracks, resemble vertical blinds, but the panels are wider and less rigid, with a heft that’s more like the shade on a roller shade. Panels are available in styles that range from sheer to opaque. Comfortex and Bali are two manufacturers that offer this style.

Vertical pleated shades are made with a honeycomb material, as in standard pleated shades. However, the pleats run up and down, and the shades have side rails that you push or pull to open or close. Bali Verticell is one example.

Researchers led by Robert Odze at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston report on their clinical and pathological analysis of Crohn's disease in Modern Pathology. The researchers compared patients with colonic Crohn's disease and those with colonic and ileal Crohn's disease. "Patients with isolated colonic Crohn's disease at initial presentation show distinct clinical and pathological features compared with the colon of patients who present with both ileal and colonic involvement," the authors write, adding that "further studies should be conducted to determine whether the histology of the colon in patients with colonic Crohn's disease is related to the development of malignancy, molecular phenotype, and specific outcome, on a prospective basis."

University of Minnesota Medical School's Youngki Kim and his colleagues describe their study of laminin isoform expression in diabetic neuropathy and other renal diseases in an advance, online Modern Pathology article. They found that ?5, ?2 and ?1 chains — which are part of the glomerular basement membrane — are over-expressed in diabetic nephropathy kidneys. "The alterations in basement membrane composition in various renal diseases seem to not only reflect the balance between synthesis and degradation of normal basement membrane constituents, but also the aberrant new expression of basement membrane molecules," Kim and his colleagues say. "Thus, tissue remodeling may incorporate both an increase of normal constituents and emergence of abnormal constituents during disease exemplified by diabetes."

This Week in Modern Pathology

“We’re looking for basement remodeling, support, a portico for the front door and a shower door,” Jim Guest said as he pored over samples and photos in the booth of Freedom Works Building and Remodeling Inc., an Odenton firm. Using a photo album, the CEO of the 22-year-old firm, Rick Oliver, pointed out the details of a wood-paneled wet bar.

 

A few booths away, Billy Derian, host of the DIY Network’s “Extra Yardage” show, startled landscape architect and illustrator Paul LeVine, of Finksburg, when he dropped by LeVine’s Landscape Designs booth and began leafing through his illustrated designs.

“These are good,” Derian murmured as several of his fans stopped and gawked.

Derian was scheduled to present a seminar on landscaping at noon. For a few minutes, he stood outside the lecture room and listened to WTOP radio’s garden editor, Mike McGrath, talk about composting and the American lifestyle. “Using a leaf blower is the perfect American occupation,” McGrath declared to knowing chuckles from his audience. “You create a lot of noise but accomplish little.”

He went on to talk about how to create the perfect compost — one that does not involve using any commercial products.

In the main exhibit hall, visitors buzzed among nearly seven dozen booths whose smiling representatives stood ready to discuss and demonstrate a rainbow of items from kitchen cutlery, cookware, countertops and appliances, to rooftop solar panels, fencing, awnings, gutters, driveways and closet organizers.

“We do this show every year,” said Zachary S. Carrubba, 29. His in-laws own Maryland Shower Enclosures, based in Annapolis. He’s worked for the 15-year-old company since he graduated from South River High School. “We’ll probably sell 15 to 25 jobs at this show. I love doing them,” he said, showing off one of the company’s glass shower doors.

Carrubba also does a little shopping at the expo.

“I bought insulation one year from Summit Insulation, another regular exhibitor. He bought a shower door from me,” Carrubba said.

Brad Leahy, representing Blades of Green, a lawn care and pest control service, was using bright yellow flyswatters to lure potential customers to his booth.

“This is the best show we do,” he said. “Last year, we picked up a lot of new customers and several regular customers dropped by, too. We did so well last year, instead of being here for just one weekend, we booked both weekends this year.”

Expo celebs

Dr. Lori Verderame, whose syndicated column appears in The Capital and in 93 other publications, and appears on Discovery Channel’s reality show, “Auction Kings,” will conduct appraisals at the expo during her “What It’s Worth” presentations at noon, 2 and 3?p.m. today. Audience members can bring one item for appraisal.

“If you have five more items, bring five friends,” Verderame advised. This is one of more than 100 personal appearances she is scheduled to make this year.

“I’ve been to the Home Show in Annapolis several times. We do appraisals and laugh,” the Pennsylvania resident said. “Last year, someone brought in a Pairpoint reverse painted lamp, dating from the 1880s to 1910. It is worth over $40,000. One man brought in blueprints of the Jefferson Memorial in D.C. His father had worked on it in the ‘30s and ‘40s.”

In a phone interview, Verderame said she’ll appraise anything except firearms. Her appraisals are done on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants sit in the audience and await their turn while Verderame lectures and conducts appraisals.

“We help people identify how markets work. How they can get the most money out of things and not give it all away at a yard sale,” she said.

“Anyone who is appraising your objects should not have a financial interest in your object. They might not give you an accurate appraisal if they are going to buy it from you to sell later. One woman I met sold a document to an appraiser for a few dollars. He resold it for $50,000.”

One last bit of advice from Verderame before the show: “Typically, an object your mother said to protect because it has family history is something you should protect. Two sisters in Virginia Beach had a family heirloom, a painting, they didn’t like. It turned out to be worth $150,000.”

Another celebrity appearing at the show is Damon Bennett. A regular on HGTV’s “Holmes Inspections,” Bennett left a home renovation project in Toronto on Friday and took an evening flight to appear at the Home Expo yesterday. It was his first visit to Annapolis and his fifth public appearance at a home show.

“There are no actors on the show,” the contractor said. “Mike Holmes and I are hands-on people. We do all the work and the bags under our eyes should show it.”

Bennett, 40, has been doing home improvements since he was 12. He met Holmes eight years ago, and the two have worked together since then.

Bennett planned to advise audience members on questions they need to ask a home inspector before purchasing a house. Among them: “Do you see any signs of mold? How does the basement look? Do you see any cracks or signs of settling? Do you have an infrared camera? It’s an expensive tool, but it looks behind walls without tearing them up and can ‘see’ moisture readings and missing insulation. Is the electrical OK? How long will it last?”

“There are a lot of good home inspectors in the world, but on our show we see the worst of the worst in the greater Toronto area,” he said.

“Thousands of emails come in every week from people asking for help. We go through and pick the worst, the most troubled ones that home inspectors really screwed up. We’re not out to attack home inspectors or contractors, but we’re trying to make the public aware of what to look for in a home inspection. Education is important.”

Arlington remodeler Michael Sauri, founder and president of TriVistaUSA, won two "Grand" first place awards for remodeling projects at the Capital CotY (Contractor of the Year) Awards presented on January 23, 2012, by the Metro DC Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry.

Arlington, VA (PRWEB) February 07, 2012

Arlington remodeler Michael Sauri, founder and president of TriVistaUSA, won two "Grand" first place awards for remodeling projects at the Capital CotY (Contractor of the Year) Awards presented on January 23, 2012, by the Metro DC Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. Sauri won the two Grand CotY awards in the categories of Commercial interior and Residential Basement Interior.

Sauri also won a Merit award in the category of Creative Solutions under $15,000 and a Finalist award in the category of Residential Addition $100 to $250,000.

Renovating a Commercial Interior in Georgetown

Sauri's prize-winning commercial interior involved gutting and remodeling the second floor of a 200-year-old historic office building in Georgetown, with active retail below and operational space on two floors above. The space belongs to the Bullitt Agency, an international booking agency for musicians and DJs.

Bullitt's office space didn't suit its image. Sauri and his crew had to follow complicated architectural designs to create a 21st century European look in this early 19th century space. Sauri's team completely gutted the second floor, leaving a clean interior, where they created a 13'x18' private office for the company president and a work area of 30'x55' with a designated lounge/lunch area set off by a counter at the back of the workspace.

Sauri updated the function of the space to "wired" 21st century, with integrated telephone, cable, a/v and security systems, with trendy Italian furnishings, exposed industrial lighting and a Plexiglas wall which allows light but not sound to penetrate from the president's private office to the open work area.

Rebuilding the Basement of a 90-Year-Old Bungalow

Sauri's residential basement renovation included raising a 90-year-old stucco bungalow in Arlington off of the old, crumbling basement wall, using jacks and steel beams at 11 pressure points, building up the height of the basement wall by three feet and then placing the house back down on the new, reinforced basement wall. The renovation included reorganizing the basement into a family room with a piano, bathroom, laundry room, woodworking shop, utility area and storage under the front porch.

The old basement was barely six feet in height, but in some places it was only five feet because of plumbing and ductwork hanging down from a previous addition. The basement was unusable for anything except non-critical storage; ground water leaked almost continually in some places. Working with a structural engineer, Sauri applied for county permits and received permission to raise the house. There were substantial savings: raising the house, rather than digging down, saved the homeowners $30,000 to $50,000 because Sauri did not have to remove dirt and pour concrete.

Sauri is an Award-Winner

After practicing remodeling for five years as a hobby, Michael Sauri incorporated his remodeling company, TriVistaUSA in 2005. He is licensed in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. In 2006, Sauri hit the big time, when he was featured on the HGTV renovation series, “Curb Appeal.” He completed three projects that were featured on Curb Appeal in 2006 through 2008 and are still featured in reruns.

In May 2011, Sauri was chosen one of the "Big 50" Remodelers in the U.S. by Remodeling Magazine. In the 25 years of the program, only 1,800 remodelers have been chosen for this elite group - out of 62,000 remodeling firms in the U.S.

Sauri received a Green Home Choice Award from Arlington County in May 2009 for his own home. In November 2010, Sauri was recognized as a finalist for an ECO CEO award from Washington Smart CEO Magazine in the category of Small Business Implementer.

Three of Sauri's projects received awards at the 2010 Capital CotY Awards on January 29, 2011, from the Metro DC NARI Chapter. Two of the winning projects are residential exterior renovations and one is a complete renovation/restoration of an historic 19th century farmhouse. One of the exterior renovations - a porch - was featured on the website of remodeling guru Bob Villa.

In 2007, TrivistaUSA won two CotY (Contractor of the Year) awards from NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry). In 2008, two more CotYs followed.
