Novi River Rock Plus combines the texture of genuine stone with an easy-to-install interlocking design.

Deer Park, NY (PRWEB) October 11, 2012

Genuine river rock is stone thats tumbled and smoothed from long-term exposure to a rushing river. Our Novi River Rock Plus has that same great look and texture without the heavy weight or the need to hire a stone mason to install it. Its interlocking panels are easy to handle, said Steve Barron, president of Faux Panels.

For quick curb appeal and an easy, attractive exterior renovation, Novi River Rock Plus is a great option. DIYers love the interlocking panels because theyre so simple to install. For those who prefer to hire a contractor, these manufactured stone siding panels speed up installation while assuring consistent results. Customers love the lower labor costs combined with great-looking results.

Strong and Gorgeous

River Rock Plus is made of strong polypropylene, so it wont chip or erode like regular stone can. It has nearly zero UV degradation, ensuring its gorgeous appearance for many years, plus it wont attract pests like termites. Extreme weather, ice, harsh temperatures itll hold up beautifully.

While primarily used to perk up an exterior, Novi River Rock Plus siding panels can also be used indoors, depending upon the building codes in your area. No matter how you use them, their low maintenance beauty will be an asset for years to come.

Novi manufactured stone siding panels come in three colors that fit a variety of styles. Smoke White brightens an area. Misty Beige is a warm tan shade and Shadow Gray is a cool neutral so no matter what color scheme you use, one of them will work perfectly.

The beauty of river rock with the ease of interlocking panels makes Novi manufactured stone siding panels practically a no-brainer for exterior renovations, said Barron.

More money going into UH mansion

For the second time in as many years, taxpayers money is going to renovate what was designated as the UH Presidents residence.

A long list of repairs is underway at College Hill.

It includes a new roof, windows and gutters, along with the installation of solar panel. solar water heaters andsiding as well as plumbing and electrical work.

The base contract is $680,000 butthe amountcould exceed that if there are unforeseen problems.

But it wasn't too long ago that the university had crews working on the porte cochere, the back lanai and the guest cottage.

Two years ago UH spent close to a half a million on repairing termite damage.

The work included repairs on the main house and in an adjacent cottage.

Crews replaced the wood floors in the dining and living rooms, as well as a few doors They also had to shore up the lanai floor.

That was on top of more than a million dollars of construction that was spentunder Evan Dobelle, the president at the time when he lived in the home,

Construction at College Hill Mansion puts events on hold

That business, Mark Borecky Construction, 1001 N. Main, Suite C, is the Hutchinson / Reno County Chamber of Commerce September Small Business of the Month.

In "serious need of a job," however, he was offered a position by Ricky Blackburn, the father of a friend of his girlfriend, to help hang house siding in northern Kansas and southern Nebraska for $5 an hour.

"I stayed with Ricky a few years and in 1993 broke out on my own," Borecky said, starting his own siding and window installation business.

At one point he had three siding crews working for him around the area.

That business put him in regular touch with Darren Cook, a wholesale siding supplier who decided he wanted to get out of that business and invited Borecky to join him in building houses.

"The first two we built for ourselves" on lots next to each other, Borecky said, and from which he "learned a fair amount" about homebuilding.

"One of the biggest helps to me was Dave Childs," Borecky said. "He was the city building inspector at the time, and later went on to do his own heating and air and electrical business. He was my eyes and ears. I was extremely blessed by that for sure."

After selling those houses, they bought some in-fill lots on Amanda Street and built some more, Borecky said. After about 2 1/2 years, Cook split off on his own "to build more upscale houses," Borecky said.

Novi Fieldstone Plus adds a new design option to a popular line of exterior of artificial rock siding panels.

Deer Park, NY (PRWEB) September 25, 2012

Genuine fieldstone is literally that stone used in its natural shape, traditionally collected from the surface of fields when theyre cleared for planting. Our Novi Plus version provides the same fantastic look and texture of traditional fieldstone at a fraction of the cost and without harming the environment, said Steve Barron, president of Faux Panels.

Because of real fieldstones origins, its often been associated with rural areas, creating a distinctive architectural look. Now thanks to Novi Fieldstone Plus, anyone can create that authentic look quickly and easily, without the high cost.

Made from strong polypropylene, these artificial rock siding panels will last a long time while still looking great. Whereas genuine stone can chip, erode and dust, Novi Fieldstone Plus easily weathers routine wear and tear, harsh temperatures, wind, rain, ice and snow. Thanks to its nearly zero UV degradation, it wont fade with time.

Easy Installation, Great Look

Novi artificial rock siding panels interlock, so installation is easy. Home owners using a contractor will spend less in labor costs. People who prefer to do it as a DIY project can get professional looking results. Either way, its a lot cheaper than hiring a stone mason.

Novi Fieldstone Plus comes in three color options that mimic natural fieldstone. Misty Beige features a warm, sun-baked light tan. Shadow Gray is a neutral shade that evokes New England farmhouses. Smoke White is a paler option reminiscent of Maryland fieldstone, yet looks great everywhere.

While Novi Fieldstone Plus is primary used for exterior renovations, depending upon the local building codes in a given area, it can be used indoors, too. Just check the fire rating rules for your area.

Adding a fieldstone design option with the new Novi Plus texture and its easy interlocking design gives customers a great new look with classic convenience, said Barron.

Relief from the heat is in sight for the elderly residents of the Mary Slaughter Apartments. The Lycoming County Housing Authority will install central air conditioning in the building, but the project will not be completed until later this summer.

The authority on Thursday agreed to award contracts for air conditioning for the building, at 124 Brandon Place, but it probably will not be installed until mid-August, said David A. Frederick, authority director of modernization and development.

A contract was awarded to Spencer Mechanical Inc., of Williamsport, which submitted a low bid of $188,000, Frederick said.

The company also was awarded a contract to convert the building's boiler system from oil to natural gas. The company bid $10,600 for that work.

Many of the residents of the 27-unit building have air conditioning.

According to Frederick, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which oversees and funds public housing, states that apartments that have only one window cannot have an air-conditioning unit in that window.

That is because the units block an exit that could be needed in the event of a fire, Frederick said. Units also could block emergency responders attempting to rescue a trapped resident.

Eight apartments in the building have only one window, Authority Executive Director MariLyn Severson said.

Residents were told when the authority took ownership of the building last summer that air-conditioning units could not be placed in single-window apartments, she said.

However, during an inspection of the building this spring by a HUD engineer, an air conditioner was seen in a single-window apartment. The engineer said it had to be taken out, Severson said.
