Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

COLUMBUS New residential construction didn't exactly go through the roof last year, but a couple of local home builders believe conditions are ripe for an uptick this spring.

"The phone is just starting to ring," said Dave Humlicek, theowner of Style Builders Inc. of Columbus, who recently got his first call from a potential customer looking to build a single-family home this spring.

"He's really anxious to get going and I think there are a lot of people in anticipation, but time will tell," Humlicek said. The company designs and builds custom homes.

New home building in the community slowed in 2013, according to the city building department's year-end construction activity report released this month.

There were 38 new single-family homes built in the city last year, a slide from 51 built during 2012. The building permits for 2013 homes were valued at more than $9.4 million, a tumble from permits valued at nearly $12.3 million in 2012.

Jason Schmidt of Design Build by Shelby Lumber Co. said his company was "busy last year," but the brisk pace of home construction from three or four years ago fell off in 2013.

"The (building schedule) for this spring is filling up nice," said Schmidt, adding that activity in rural Columbus markets has remained relatively strong.

Humlicek and Schmidt agreed thatmortgage lendingrates hovering around 4 percent remain attractive forborrowers looking to build this spring. Althoughinterest rates edgedhigher as the economy began perking up, they are still low by traditional standards.

"There's a lotof talk (by home building industry groups) that it's going to be a good year," Humlicek said.

"There's a lot of pent up demand and enthusiasm in the state," he said. "I think when it pops, it's really going to pop in a big way."

Bridgwater couple thank Mercury

5:00pm Friday 10th January 2014 in News By Joe Dempsey

A COUPLE in their 80s have thanked the Mercury for helping them to get a hole in their ceiling fixed.

George Slade of Bridgwater had solar panels fitted on the roof of his two-bedroom bungalow but during the installation the roof was damaged causing a hole in the lounge ceiling.

Mr Slade reported the damage on November 6 to Anesco, the company contracted to repair the damage.

But after waiting six weeks and getting nowhere with his phone calls, Mr Slade came to the Mercury offices with his story.

The hole was in their lounge ceiling so Mr Slade and his wife, Jill, were unable to put up their Christmas tree.

At the time George said: I keep having to go up into the roof space when it rains to empty buckets of water and bring them down again. It spoiled our Christmas.

Mr Slade got in touch with us on December 12 and after our calls to the company, Anesco contacted the Slades later that day saying the repairs would be done on January 6.

He said: When I got the call I said to my wife 'I bet the Bridgwater Mercury got in touch with them'.

Yelp has already appealed the decision

Seven anonymous Yelp reviewers are the target of a recent court investigation, and Yelp has been asked to identify them.

According to The Atlantic,Alexandria, Virginia-basedHadeed Carpet Cleaning received some negative reviews on Yelp, and like most companies in that position, wasn't happy about it. But the issue is thatHadeed Carpet Cleaning says the reviewers were never actual customers at all.

According toHadeed Carpet Cleaning, it was unable to match the Yelp reviewers -- who used pseudonyms on the site for anonymity -- with actual customer experiences. Hence, the company asked that Yelp reveal the identities of these seven reviewers soHadeed Carpet Cleaning can confirm if these are actual customers, or just people leaving false reviews.

Many people go to Yelp today for reviews on businesses, which are based on a scale of one to five stars. Reviewers can also leave comments on their experiences, and negative reviews have the potential to hurt a business if they sway customers away.

Yelp, however, wasn't handing over the customers' identities. The company believes these reviewers have the right to say what they please anonymously thanks to the First Amendment, so the case went to court.

As it turns out,the Virginia Court of Appeals has ordered that Yelp reveal the identities of the seven individuals because it said the comments are not supported by the First Amendment if they aren't actual customers ofHadeed Carpet Cleaning.

Yelp has already appealed the decision, saying thatHadeed Carpet Cleaning needs to bring more evidence to the table that these are not actual customers before it receives such information. Also, Yelp thinks there should be proof that the comments caused any harm to business.

"Other states require that plaintiffs lay out actual facts before such information is allowed to be obtained, and have adopted strong protections in order to prevent online speech from being stifled by those upset with what has been said. We continue to urge Virginia to do the same," saidYelp spokesman Vince Salitto.

The case will make its way to the Virginia Supreme Court from here.

Air System Cleaning Full service air system cleaning not only includes cleaning out your air ducts, but should also include cleaning your furnace/air handler. This is the heart of the air system and should be cleaned as well.

Air Duct Cleaning Air duct cleaning includes only the cleaning of your air ducts, not your furnace or air handler. There are 2 main reasons you might need to only clean your air ducts. (1) Your air handler has been recently replaced or has already recently been cleaned by a service company. (2) The customer chooses not to clean the air handler after understanding the full benefits of air system cleaning.

If anyone in your home or office suffers from allergies, breathing or respiratory problems, or if you notice dust inside your home or office here in Las Vegas, you should consider having your air system cleaned.
