I have recently engaged the firm Construction Express to complete a renovation of an existing restaurant into a modern professional bar/kitchen operation in Hollywood CA. I found Ashour Shamoon and his associates to be professional and knowledgeable on all levels of our project. Construction Express was able to guide us through the process and advise us as to our options, while working within our budgetary restraints. Work was completed in a timely manner and to our standards. Construction Express liasoned with municipal inspectors seamlessly, and ensured that the appropriate permits were obtained for each facet of our project.
The renovation was completed to our standards and both Maxim and Angelino Magazines recently reviewed our property and deemed it to be one of Los Angeless most exciting destinations. I would recommend using Construction Express without reservation, and feel that their understanding and efforts helped complete the project of our dreams. Please feel free to contact me personally if you need any clarification or further information regarding Construction Express.
Kind regards, Steven B. Kravis Tinys K.O.

I greatly recommend Construction Express as a suitable and professional business associate in the construction field.
Sincerely,Jerry Cardona Founder and President Jerrys Mexican Grill
It has been our pleasure and fortune to have Mr. Ashour Shamoon from Construction Express as our contractor at TINTO. Mr. Shamoon is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and handled our case with grace and professionalism. There were a few places during the process where Mr. Shamoon's skills really came through. He guided us in the right path and made it easier.
In addition to handling all kinds of situations, he is great at listening, understanding and communicating with others. Finally, I would like to state my strongest recommendations for Mr. Shamoon.
Sincerely,
Juan Sola Jr. Owner Tintos Restaurant

As more porches sprout in front yards across the country, the homebuilders behind them meet the wants of today's buyers with a kind of architectural back to the future. Popping up in both renovations and new construction, it seems to be all about the new old-fashioned porch.
Porches are also larger these days, Minneapolis architect Paul Buum says, often spanning the full length of the front of the house. Depending on the style of home, many production builders also are making front porches standard and building them wider than a decade ago 8 to 10 feet wide instead of 4 to 6 feet.
"In both remodels and new construction, full lengths are nice for homes facing a street, and so are wider porches to accommodate tables, chairs or the old-fashioned porch swing," Buum says. He adds that wraparound porches with screened-in portions are popular in rural settings and on farmhouse-style homes.
Ensuring continuity with the architectural style of the rest of the home is a key design consideration. A porch should be consistent in detail and character with the rest of the house. "This is particularly true with front porches," Buum notes, "since it's the first introduction a person has to the home."
Buum outlines these porch design trends:
More color. Design elements emphasize color. "You see a lot of multicolor palettes today. You can have one siding or cladding color, another trim color and an accent color on window sashes," Buum says.
Bolder columns. Architectural columns often are on a larger scale for design or aesthetic purposes while enclosing a smaller structural column (typically 4x4 or 6x6 posts), as long as the columns are scaled appropriately to the home. "Columns can be round, squared or tapered and sit on the deck of the porch or a pier."
Durable materials. A well-designed porch typically will encompass the same exterior material as the rest of the home, such as stucco or brick, or synthetics such as fiber cement siding products.
Flooring. In addition to traditional pine or cedar floors on front porches, an increasingly popular choice is ipe, a Brazilian hardwood that is an incredibly strong wood, resistant to insects, rot and mold. "Ipe is moderately priced," Buum says. "Installation can be more expensive than other wood floors, because it's more time-consuming given the very dense wood, which requires pre-drilling."
Especially in remodels, Buum advises contractors to consider how views from the inside of the home will be altered from front windows and how an expanded porch could alter light flow inside the home. Buum also stresses that porches should be pitched to drain away from the home. He also recommends floor venting to prevent moisture buildup and the many accompanying problems that result. "It depends on the base of the porch, whether it's on piers or a continuous long low brick wall. In any case, we vent from underneath the porch, at the base or perimeter walls, to the sides or front so you allow air movement to keep the joist space ventilated and dry."

Your home is often considered to be your biggest lifetime investment. However, if you own a business, you know how critical commercial pest control is to protecting your investment -- essentially your livelihood - from pests and rodents.
From building a positive reputation to increasing your revenue, your customers are at the heart of what you do. Pests and rodents in your businesses can affect the way your customers view you and your company. They can pose serious risks to the health of your employees and the safety of your property. Even though pests and rodents are small, their affect on your business bottom line can be enormous.
Preventing pest infestations and practicing proper commercial pest management should be an important part of the outstanding service you provide. From insights on integrated pest management (IPM) to pest control and prevention tips, Pestworld.org will provide you with the most up-to-date information on pests and how to get rid of them.
Visit "Find a Pro" to locate a commercial pest control professional for your office or business; read through our pest fact sheets on various bugs and rodents; look at our commercial protocols for bed bugs; and remember that NPMA is here to help you address your business' pest control needs at every turn.
