Anyone in need of a roof would be best served by contacting Pacific Homeworks, Inc.

San Diego, California (PRWEB) September 28, 2012

A home remodeling company based in Southern California, Pacific Homeworks has a history of serving more than 20,000 satisfied customers. As a full-service company, Pacific Homeworks specializes in the installation of Energy Star windows, complete roofing and ventilation systems, and exterior stucco and paint. During its years of operation, the company has installed a whopping 25,176,300 square feet of quality roofing -- or enough roofing to cover every NFL stadium 17 times over.

As a small business, Pacific Homeworks is proud of the fact that it is owned and operated by the people who founded it. Its owners are still active in the day-to-day operations of the business and are available every day. From a grassroots beginning with just a handful of employees, Pacific Homeworks has grown to a network of four offices and a staff of 250. The company has made Qualified Remodeler Magazine's top 500 list four separate times, ranking an impressive 24th in the year 2012.

Pacific Homeworks prides itself on its use of ridge vents, weather lock flex material, and Deck Defense -- an underlayment which protects a roof from water and UV damage. Pacific Homeworks uses only the highest quality materials, including a 50 year shingle that is also backed by an impressive 50 year labor guarantee. Homeowners will not find a better warranty anywhere.

The people at Pacific Homeworks recognize that the roof is the most important feature of any home. If it is structurally sound and in good repair, it will protect every other part of the house. An old or leaking roof can cause literally thousands of dollars of damage to a home's interior - destroying walls, ceilings, structural features and even causing dangerous mold. A well-maintained roof is essential to a home's continuing good health.

And a roof is a much more complex system than most people realize. A healthy roof is not just intact shingles. It includes proper ventilation to prevent build up of heat and moisture, a high-quality underlayment, hip and ridge shingles and even attic insulation.

When conducting a remodel, Pacific Homeworks, Inc. works with homeowners to ensure that every home repair is done right the very first time. Anyone in need of a roof would be best served by contacting Pacific Homeworks, Inc.

Cops: Customer points gun at carpet installer in W. Ashley home

After remodeling my home over a period of four years, I didn't expect to have more projects to deal with. But every year something else breaks, requiring more investments. This year, I received quotes totaling $6,300 for three home repair projects. Instead, I decided to tackle the repairs myself and ended up spending $930, for a total savings of $5,370.

Repairing a failing window

When the seal in two of my double-paned windows failed, the windows became foggy and smeared with the melting black seal. Not only was this unsightly but the windows ceased to be energy efficient. A window company quoted me $1,200 to replace each window ($2,400 for two).

With a little research, however, I learned that the windows can be repaired instead of replaced at a fraction of the cost, totaling $500 for both windows. By replacing the glass only, instead of tearing out the window frame as well, I have saved $1,900.

Replacing a section of carpet

When my Berber carpet began to unravel in places, like a run in a pair of stockings, I thought of replacing the carpet. I went to my home improvement store and received a quote for $2,100. Instead, of replacing the carpet with a brand new one, I decided to fix the existing one at no cost at all.

I had saved the leftover carpet from the initial installation. Using a sharp utility knife, I cut the damaged area out of the carpet. Then I inserted an identically sized strip from the leftover carpet. To hide the seam, I used a little fabric glue to connect the fibers on either side of the cut. In less than 2 hours I fixed my torn carpet and saved $2,100.

Replacing rotten wood on my deck

After an especially hot summer, some wood in my deck began to rot dangerously. I thought of replacing the floor of the deck completely, but the quote from a contractor came to $1,800.

Instead, I decided to pry out the rotten wood myself and replace it with new 2x4 lumber. After cutting each piece down to size, I first primed and painted it before installing it in the deck. As a result, I avoided having to repaint the whole deck. The project cost me $430, saving me $1,370.

Samantha Hartman will hold a yard sale today and Sunday at the Feagaville residence of her parents, off U.S. 340. The proceeds from the sale will be given to The Trevor Project, a national organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for LGBTQ youth. She is shown with some of the items for sale.

Boxes brimming with clothing, dishes, books and kitchenware were piled wall to wall. Televisions, furniture -- even Christmas decorations -- filled in the gaps.

Another basement and an outdoor storage unit are also filled with items collected by Hartman, her four siblings and their relatives.

All of it is going into a yard sale today and Sunday at the Feagaville residence of Hartman's parents, off U.S. 340, she said.

The proceeds from the sale will be given to The Trevor Project, a national organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth.

The yard sale has a Facebook events page with hundreds of followers jostling for items that have caught their eye, Hartman said. She expects about 700 people to show up over the weekend and hopes to raise $1,000 for the organization.

The whole thing started out simply enough, said Hartman, a secondary education major at Towson University. Her parents were remodeling their kitchen, other relatives were moving, and they all wanted to shed years' worth of accumulated stuff.

It would have been difficult to persuade her mother to hold a simple yard sale, she said, but holding one to benefit a good cause was all the impetus needed to come to an agreement.

Hartman created the Facebook page so family members could communicate and organize their efforts, she said. A couple people picked up the page on their news feeds and said they'd like to take part.
