Deck Helmet, a top-rated deck restoration company in Bethesda, Maryland, will be celebrating National Home Improvement Month in May 2013 with an incredible deal for homeowners looking to upgrade and enhance their deck.

Bethesda, Maryland (PRWEB) April 01, 2013

According to a consumer poll from NARI.org, the official website of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), the largest determining factor for deciding to do it yourself or hire a professional was cost, at 40 percent. Thirty percent of respondents placed project type and know-how as the second most important factor, and level of difficulty was close behind at 25 percent. Safety and length of time required to complete the project were last, with 2 and 3 percent respectively.

With home prices rising throughout the United States for the first time in the past five years, many homeowners are thinking about making modest renovations that can increase the value of their existing home without costing a small fortune. While many are still reluctant to make major renovations there are many smaller updates that can transform the look and feel of a home. Homeowners are reconsidering costly deck replacement which can easily cost more than $10,000 and choosing Deck Helmet for deck resurfacing and refinishing as a cost effective alternative, says Jason Apter, owner and President of Deck Helmet.

Safety is another concern for people with aging decks, by replacing warped and rotting wood and resecuring railings and stairs, we have helped hundreds of homeowners enjoy their deck year round with the safest and most affordable deck resurfacing system around.

Other popular home renovations this season include upgrading kitchens and bathrooms with new flooring and modern energy-efficient appliances, roof repair/replacement and exterior painting and siding. National Home Improvement Month is a great opportunity to think about how to add improvements that will enrich the quality of your life and increase the value of your home, says Apter.

Texas weather might be unpredictable, but you can be sure of one thing: It's about to get hot, and soon. Like most Texans, I depend on my air conditioner to make it through the summer without losing my cool.

With soaring temperatures just around the corner, it's a great time to schedule an AC tune-up to make sure your air conditioner works all summer long. Keeping your AC in good working order can also save you money.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program, heating and cooling a home costs the average homeowner about $1,000 a year -- nearly half the home's total energy bill. Without proper maintenance, ACs have to work harder and use more electricity. Additionally, a tune-up can detect problems before they escalate, such as a build of dust and debris.

If you decide to get an AC tune-up, picking the right contractor can also save money and trouble. In 2012, your local Better Business Bureau received 189 complaints against air conditioning & heating contractors. Most complaints alleged over-billing and unethical business practices, such as contractors making misleading or false claims about the price of their services.

Before you get your AC checked, BBB has these tips to help you find a trustworthy contractor:

- Consult your owner's manual. Before doing anything, check the warranty on your current air conditioning unit to determine whether any tune-ups, repairs or replacements may be covered.

- Research the company. Visit bbb.org for the Business Review of any AC service company you plan to hire to learn details about the company, like its history of complaints.

- Check licensing. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation requires a license for HVAC technicians and electricians. Ask to see a copy of the license before work starts.

- Compare prices. Get at least three estimates in writing. All bids should provide a full description of the services provided and the materials used.

- Review warranty coverage. If the company offers any type of warranty or guarantee, make certain you understand the terms and conditions of the coverage.

Information revealed in a search warrant released Monday sheds light on the investigation into the murders of the Kaufman County district attorney and his wife.

In the document, officials said a family friend initially found the bodies of Mike and Cynthia McLelland at about 6:45 p.m. Saturday. The family friend went to the residence after trying to contact the couple several times without success.

The responding Kaufman County sheriff's deputies found cartridge casings inside the house near both victims. Deputies also reported seeing multiple gunshot wounds to both the district attorney and his wife.

Investigators: Nothing to Indicate Gang Tied to Kaufman Shootings

Authorities continue to investigate the shooting deaths of Kaufman County's district attorney and his wife. People familiar with the case tell NBC 5 that investigators have found nothing to indicate that the white supremacist prison gang the Aryan Brotherhood was involved.

Search for Answers in McLelland Slayings

Search warrant information shows what investigators are focusing on as they investigate the shooting deaths of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike and his wife Cynthia.

According to the search warrant, the last time anyone spoke to either Mike or Cynthia McLelland was Friday evening, when family members talked to the district attorney by telephone.

The documents also reveal that investigators are looking at phone records for two mobile numbers between Jan. 1 and Sunday.

Authorities have revealed no further information with regard to the investigation.

The specialists at Emergency Plumber have responded to warnings from the fire service, following two incidents of carbon monoxide poisoning in homes in Wales.

(PRWEB UK) 3 April 2013

Both families were successfully treated, however the outcome could have been much more tragic and the fire service reiterated the importance of getting boilers checked. Carbon monoxide is so deadly because it is tasteless and odourless and can kill fast. Best known for their London emergency plumbers, the team at Emergency Plumber also offers Gas Safe Registered engineers throughout the country. A representative from the firm shares their thoughts on the matter.

We cannot stress enough the importance of getting home appliances such as boilers, as well as ovens and fridge freezers, checked at least once a year by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. These should also be the only people that install, maintain or fix your appliances too. However, this is not a substitute for ensuring your home has a working carbon monoxide alarm.

You can buy audible alarms from supermarkets and DIY stores for around 15. Remember to check yours is marked to EN 50291 and contains the British Standards kitemark, or another European approved organisations mark on it. It is also important to make yourself and your family familiar with the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The team at Emergency Plumber are dedicated to promoting Gas Safety.

Emergency Plumber Responds to Carbon Monoxide Warnings

The specialists at Emergency Plumber have responded to a fall in the turnover of companies in partnership of the Building Engineering Services Association (B&ES).

(PRWEB UK) 2 April 2013

However, the silver lining appears to be that the drop during the second half of 2012 was not as steep as that experienced during the first part of the year.

Providing highly trained London emergency plumbers, Emergency Plumber also offers efficient workers throughout the country. Regularly researching the latest industry updates and developments, the news was naturally of concern to the team. A representative shares their thoughts on the matter.

Whilst it is disheartening to see a dip in figures, what we should remember is that the rate of this decline is slowing. During the current economic climate all business sectors are affected and hopefully the next set of results will have more positive findings.

Whilst the engagement of apprentices and trainees were said to have fallen during this period, we have had some more encouraging news recently in the form of British Gas promising to create 1000 new jobs for the young and unemployed. Successful candidates will be installing energy efficient systems into UK households.

The team at Emergency Plumber continue to research and respond to the latest industry news.

Len The Plumber Promotes Two Technicians to Service Managers

The state of Florida is going to receive $6 million aid for pest control. Wanting to also help its residents fight the most notorious of pests nowadays, the bed bugs, My Cleaning Products recommended the use of Bed Bug Bully and gave out samples of it so the public could prove that it's best help to get.

Tallahassee, FL (PRWEB) April 03, 2013

My Cleaning Products said that according to the report posted on March 29, 2013, the fund was set generally for the elimination of the pests that threaten Florida's agriculture. Particularly, it was allotted for the detector dog teams, citrus research, avocado protection and a honey bee survey, it shared. Apart from that, it said that it was also reserved to fund the Traveler's Don't Pack a Pest Outreach Program, a project that aims to heed people not to bring pests and diseases to Florida.

The said money, MCP shared based on the report, is a federal funding taken from the Farm Bill. Adam Putnam, the Agriculture Commissioner, announced that in a statement on Friday, it detailed.

Below is a part of the said post Florida to Receive Pest-Control Aid Worth $6M by My Cleaning Products.

Good news - Florida will get $6 million funding for disease-control and pest-eradication. Bad news - it was not specified if any of it would be used to fight bed bugs.

According to a report, the said federal funding would be used particularly on eliminating the pests that threaten Florida's agriculture. The said amount is coming from the federal Farm Bill as said by Adam Putnam, the Agriculture Commissioner, in a statement on Friday.

According to My Cleaning Products, it's a given that pests bring in problems. Hence, they must be eliminated, it said.

Nonetheless, though bed bugs are not agricultural pests, their elimination should have been included on the targets of the $6M pest control aid that Florida will receive, MCP commented. As the number of bed bug infestations increases across the country, it added that the government should do something about it.

But whether there is help from the government or not, the company stated that the public must take steps to protect themselves and their family from the pests. One effective and safe step that they could take, it said, is to have a Bed Bug Bully prepared.
