    Construction on tech park could begin next month, officials looking for tenants – Press of Atlantic City

    - March 30, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Atlantic Countys efforts to build an aviation industry and create high-paying technology jobs got the boost of a decade this month.

    The Atlantic County Improvement Authority last week approved a $17.2 million contract for construction of the first building at the Stockton Aviation Research and Technology Park, a concept that struggled to get off the ground since plans were first announced in 2005.

    The work, which could begin next month, is hailed by officials and politicians as a way to diversify a largely casino-dependent economy that has struggled as casinos closed and gambling spread to neighboring states.

    Im absolutely thrilled, said U.S. Rep. Frank LoBiondo, R-2nd, praising county officials, the Federal Aviation Administration, Stockton University and everyone involved with the project. Unfortunately, the initial stages of this got tangled up with legal battles and bumps in the road, but this is now a reality.

    LoBiondo helped secure more than $3 million in federal grants related to the project. He also helped convince officials from the FAA to lease 55 acres of land adjacent to the William J. Hughes Technical Center as a site for the park.

    Originally called the NextGen Aviation Research & Technology Park, the project was plagued by legal issues and alleged fiscal mismanagement.

    The effort to build the park was rekindled in the past few years by Stockton University and the county.

    Construction of the first building, which is expected to be complete by next spring, is one phase of the project.

    But the next phase will be critical finding tenants.

    Joe Sheairs, executive director of SARTP, said there has been a lot of interest for years from multibillion-dollar companies because of the parks unique relationship with the FAA.

    The problem, however, was the county had nothing but an idea to sell.

    We didnt have a building until Friday, Sheairs said. People on the industry side of this who were interested kept saying, show me.

    Now, Sheairs is talking to four major companies that are inquiring about leasing space in the building, he said. Potential tenants must use the space for aviation research.

    He declined to name the companies because nothing has been signed, he said.

    When completed, the three-story building will feature 60,000 square feet of office space, a Federal Aviation Administration laboratory, classrooms, member laboratories and a rooftop lounge.

    The building can be modified by any tenant that leases space there. All tenants will have to be approved by the FAA because the building is on FAA land.

    The FAA also will be a tenant and occupy 5,000 square feet of laboratory space and 2,000 square feet of office space at the building.

    Right now, the first lab is being designed generically with typical lab features such as raised floors, upgraded electrical panels, space for computers and racks that hold them, said Rick Breitenfeldt, a spokesman at the tech center. Since the ground has yet to be broken, modifications can still be made depending on what (or) who exactly occupies that space.

    The building will be one of seven, multi-story buildings with more than 400,000 total square feet of research and development space at the park.

    All the buildings will include high-speed connectivity to FAA laboratories, data and systems. The campus-like setting is designed to promote collaboration among business, academia and all major research arms of the federal government, according to a statement from the county.

    There are no renderings or projected completion dates for the other six buildings.

    The first building will be constructed by Hessert Construction Group LLC, of Marlton, Burlington County.

    Hessert has completed projects at Stockton, Rutgers University, the Philadelphia Zoo and the Adventure Aquarium in Camden, among others.

    As soon as we saw this, we knew it was a project we wanted, said Vic Lombardi, director of operations at Hessert. Were really excited to get started.

    $142M Frost Tower breaks ground, raising expectations downtown

    City and county officials gathered downtown Wednesday to celebrate the official kick off of construction for the new Frost Tower, a $142 million state-of-the-art office building described as a pivotal project in the long effort to revitalize downtown.

    The 460,000 square-foot office building, which will serve as a new headquarters for Frost Bank, is the first new office tower to go up downtown since the Weston Centre in 1989. Its being built by local developer Weston Urban as part of an intricate deal with the city and Frost Bank thats designed to rejuvenate west downtown, an area burdened with too many run-down buildings and parking lots. Construction is expected to take about two years, said Weston Urban President Randy Smith.

    Mayor Ivy Taylor said the 23-story tower is a significant step forward for downtown. It was designed by renowned international architecture firm Pelli Clarke Pelli and local firm Alamo Architects, and it will boost downtowns supply of upscale office space by 31 percent, from its current level of 1.4 million square feet, according to data from Transwestern, a commercial real estate firm.

    RELATED: Big changes coming to San Antonio

    You all have heard me talk about my vision of San Antonio being a globally competitive city with opportunity for everyone, Taylor said. That means we have to support growing businesses, expand job opportunities and make our urban core a strong and attractive destination. This project does all of that.

    Construction crews are already laying the groundwork for the tower, which is at the southwest corner of Travis and Flores streets, in downtowns growing tech district. It was approved by the citys Historic and Design Review Commission earlier this month. Frost Bank will occupy 280,000 square feet of the tower, with the rest open to other businesses.

    The tower has been in the works since 2013, when former Mayor Julin Castro who attended Wednesdays ceremony was encouraging downtown development with his Decade of Downtown initiative. In 2015, City Council cleared the way for the towers construction when it approved a complicated public-private partnership with Weston Urban and Frost Bank.

    As part of the deal, Frost Bank has sold its current headquarters at 100 W. Houston St. to the city, which plans to consolidate its administrative offices there. The city and Frost are selling the site of the tower and another 6.3 acres in west downtown to Weston Urban, giving the developer a broad canvas to remake the area. The properties include the Municipal Plaza Building, where City Council meetings are held.

    At Wednesdays ceremony, City Manager Sheryl Sculley said the partnership was a win-win for the city, Frost Bank and Weston Urban, which was co-founded by Graham Weston, who also co-created Geekdom and Rackspace.

    RELATED: San Antonio's new River Walk underway

    There are no new net costs to the city, and in fact we anticipate savings over time, Sculley said. The transaction will allow the city to reengineer our office needs and create more efficiency within the city government.

    The city and county have both provided incentives for the towers construction. Weston Urban is expected to get about $1 million from the city, documents show. The county is contributing about $3.5 million worth of incentives, County Judge Nelson Wolff said on Wednesday.

    The county is also leading a $175 million project to revitalize San Pedro Creek, which runs alongside the Frost Tower site, turning it into a decorated walking path similar to the River Walk.

    In his remarks on Wednesday, Graham Weston said he was surprised that he has invested so much in downtown real estate. He said he had no interest in buying more land downtown when Castro was encouraging development in the area around 2010.

    But Weston said he soon realized that investing in downtown was a good way to achieve his dream of creating a tech community in San Antonio.

    How do we do to San Antonio what Dell did to Austin? he said, referring to the computer company that helped jump-start Austins tech scene. How do we put out an invitation to other developers to do the same, other tech companies to do the same? With that idea I really changed my perspective 180 degrees and said, Lets go all-in on downtown.

    Cost to Replace Siding – Estimates and Prices at Fixr

    - March 29, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    How much does it cost to replace siding?

    House siding is crucial to curb appeal,necessary to close the exterior surface of the building envelope, and offers an opportunity to choose enhancements in appearance as well as insulating properties. Therefore, a good-quality siding can have a major impact on the resale value of a home.

    The typical cost of installed average house siding will vary by siding material, its finish quality, the house size, the number of windows and doors, the insulation, climate, the amount of decorative detail,the labor rate and whether or not the material in question needs to be painted or primed by the installer.

    The Material choices and typical costs for installed house siding include:

    Lowest cost

    Wood finish

    Economy appearance

    Surface maintenance

    Lowest cost

    11 displaced by Fitchburg fire – Sentinel & Enterprise

    - March 29, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    FITCHBURG -- At first, Andrea Gendron didn't believe her daughter when she called Monday evening with the news the room right above their first-floor apartment had erupted into flames.

    She hopped into her car and rushed home from work to 433 Princeton Road, where she saw thick black smoke billowing up from the newly-renovated multi-unit home she shared with her children, grandchildren and others.

    "That's when I knew it was my house," said Gendron, who on Tuesday afternoon packed her car with clothes and what other of her belongings that fit.

    Gendron and 10 other residents including Roger Caron and his three children, ages 1, 2, and 16, must find a place to live until their home is repaired, a process expected to take up to six months.

    "It was amazing, no loss of life," said Gendron. "But three to six months is a long time to sleep on a couch."

    Landlord and owner Yesenia Gil said the fire began in her second-floor unit, which she shares with her 26-year-old son.

    Fitchburg Fire Chief Kevin Roy said Tuesday the fire was started by careless disposal of smoking materials and caused approximately $70,000 in damages to the two-story wooden-framed structure.

    Gil, her hands covered in black soot, said her son was home when flames broke out after 5 p.m. Firefighters managed to contain the flames within two of the home's four units, said Roy.

    One of those units had just been installed with new cabinets, one of the many projects Gil undertook before the fire cut short progress on her $40,000 renovation plan, which included the installation of a new boiler, roof and siding.

    Caron, a contractor whose job it is to clean up fire-damaged buildings, said he wasn't prepared emotionally with the extent of the heavy fire and water damage.

    "To come home to being a victim of something I help people with on a daily basis, it's a weird feeling," Caron said.

    How a home is assembled in 3 days inside Erie’s convention center – GoErie.com

    - March 29, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The annual Erie Home & Garden Expo takes place Friday through Sunday.

    A nearly 1,400-square-footmanufactured homearrived in two piecesMonday at the Bayfront Convention Center.

    Then crews got down to work, that is, once the pieces just narrowly made it through theConvention Center's large bay doorsearly Tuesday morning.

    Three days of drywall, siding, painting, electrical work, interior decorating, landscaping and hardscaping left the home ready for visitation as the centerpiece attraction of the annual Erie Home & Garden Expo, whichbegins Friday and runs through Sunday.

    Hawk Manufactured Homes, ofYoungsville, is showcasing the1,387-square-foot home, which is priced at $88,900.The home's 27-foot-by-52-foot floor planfeatures three bedrooms, two full baths, a kitchen, dining nook, utility room and many other amenities.

    Manufactured homes are popular with young couples juststarting out and with retirees who are looking to downsize, Hawk Manufactured HomesManagerShawn Finefrock said.

    About 8,000 to 10,000 visitors are expected to attend the three-day show, which will feature more than 160 exhibitors,according toshow organizer Mark Concilla, of Erie Promotions & Expos.

    The show marks the ninth year Concilla has showcased a manufactured home at the Erie Home & Garden Expo.

    "It has been a success for this show and the show we do in Buffalo,'' Concilla said.

    The home was deliveredto the Convention Centeron Monday. Tuesday morning, crewsstarted bringingit inside the facility.

    "It just barely squeaked past the doors inside here,'' Concilla said. "Watching them pull the two pieces together is quite an art because they have a lot of very sophisticated trucks and they can kind of shift it together.''

    After the housewas put together, crews worked on the inside handling drywall,and installation of carpetingand flooring. Exterior work included installation of siding and roof shingles, ramps, steps and landscaping.

    Crews from Johnston's Evergreen Nursery and Afton Landscape Supply set up the exterior landscaping, Frontier Lumber crews built an exterior wooden ramp, and staff from Ergo Audio Unlimited outfitted the house with electronic devices.

    Painting crews from Elk Creek Painting took over on Wednesday and painted the interior in about five hours.

    Arthur F. Schultz Co. furnished the home's interior.

    Early Thursday morning, a truck containing all of the home's furniture, art, lamps, window treatments and accessoriesarrived at the Convention Center, andinterior designer Randall Farabaugh, of Arthur F. Schultz Co.,got busyoverseeing the project's interior decor.

    A crew of six furnished the home in about four hours.

    "The theme is rustic lodge,'' Farabaugh said. "We have a lot of dark browns and leathers and animal heads. It's just a very rustic look. We love doing this project. The majority of the people who walk through that door say, 'I could live here.' We get that all the time. We want it to look like you can actually move in. We don't want it to look unfinished, we want it to feel like somebody actually lives here.''

    Terry’s Discount Windows & More Offers the Best Products with the Lowest Cost – ValpoLife.com

    - March 29, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The Terrys Discount Windows & More showroom may sit behind the Harley-Davidson of Valparaiso dealership, but their team is on the forefront of the minds of customers looking for quality services.

    The company is founded on principles of integrity, honesty, experience, and friendliness. They provide 100 percent customer satisfaction, from the initial phone call to the final installation touches. More specifically, their showroom is located at 1153 Marsh St, Suite A, and is designed to your home remodel shopping a one-stop, easy process.

    It was started by Terry Keelen and his wife, Julie, back in 2003. The two co-own the company with the help of their two sons, Caleb and Tyler, who work as the sales manager and sales specialist, respectively. Other staff members include Kyle Eichelberg, office/services manager, Kim Niloff, executive assistant, Mark Hutson, general manager, Ron Casteel, sales specialist, and all the Terrys Discount Windows installation crews!

    Terry got into the industry in 1991, saw the good and the bad of how the large companies conducted business, and decided he wanted to do it his own way.

    Half of our business is based on referrals and previous customers, Terry said. I really feel like if you have a good product, good price, good service, good warranty, and good installation, then the rest takes off.

    Julie added that it was also a way to bring her family together while doing business in the way they were not seeing in the community.

    This is more than just a place to shop for windows: Terrys window and siding crews work with the highest quality of American-made and green products, specializing in replacement windows, siding, roofing, doors, gutters, attic insulation, and much more! The Energy-Star rated window products provided are hand-selected from the most successful manufacturers in the country. The siding options are also chosen from top-notch manufacturers, so that Terrys can offer insulated-backed products in a variety of grades, colors, and styles and also come in different materials.

    Our whole concept is trying to get the best product for the best price, he said. The windows, our bread and butter, are by far the best bang for your buck out there. There is not a better made window in America.

    The company installs seamless aluminum gutters and downspouts with gutter protection. Doors from Terrys are offered in fiber-glass and steel systems, and come equipped with a 10-year warranty on their paint and stain coats. Roof shingles are also offered with warranties and are delivered from a handful of top roofing manufacturers from throughout the country. Finally, for attic insulation, Terrys has partnered with Owens Corning - known as the insulation and energy-efficiency experts - to once again provide the best possible product.

    They offer all of their products and services at discounted rates to the end customer after buying in quantity directly from the factory, eliminating all middle men in the process. The savings are endless and the exclusive warranties make this company the go-to when it comes to building and remodeling. The salesmen will even come out to your home for a free in-home estimate. Terrys also offers senior and military discounts and always have specials going on to use throughout the year.

    Right now, their busy season has just begun, and its starting off with a bang!

    We recently had the best week of all time, in our 14 year history, and yesterday marked our best month ever and we still have a week and a half to grow on that!, Terry said.

    With the start of the spring cleaning season, remodeling homes is on many peoples to-do list, along with the full-time hiring of Caleb Keelen; those were the two main factors contributing to the records set.

    During the installation process, the crew working are hand-selected and are known as master certified installers, each with more than 20 years of service. The crew focuses on quality workmanship, neatness, and efficiency and above all, guaranteeing the customers happiness by willing to go above and beyond in their work.

    All installers work exclusively for us, which is unique because we can give a warranty on our work, Terry said.

    Terrys is a member of the Valparaiso Chamber of Commerce, Home Builders Association of Northwest Indiana, and has achieved the highest rating, an A+ rating, from the Better Business Bureau, a grade the staff, family and friends all take pride in.

    The team offers products and services that are being used to improve a persons home. Their low prices and quality workmanship assure homeowners their home will look good, as well as be cozy in the winter and breezy through the summer, while conserving energy and reducing those pesky bills.

    Overall, what makes Terrys different is their personable approach toward customers, current and future since, as Julie explains, Youre selling yourself. To be personable means youre letting your customer know that you are someone who can be trusted, both individually and as a company, to come into your home.

    You are not just another number, Terry said. Youre a person we want to build a relationship with because if we do your windows, we know in a few years, youre going to call us when you need your siding done, he explained. We dont want you to think, Well, who should I call? Absolutely, we want you to say, Were calling Terrys Discount Windows again!

    Terrys Discount Windows & More invites you to stop in to see the showroom during the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. Also, browse the photo gallery and learn more about their products and services by clicking here.

    Kentucky fans trash referee’s roofing business on its own Facebook page – CBSSports.com

    Kentucky fans who felt their Wildcats didnt get a fair shake in Sundays loss to North Carolina because of the officiating aired their grievances in a very strange way.

    SportsLine

    After the game, some burned televisions and couches in the streets . But some went a step further and tracked down one referee, John Higgins, on Facebook. Big Blue Nation apparently discovered Higgins owns a roofing business called Rooferees. They destroyed its Facebook page with hundreds of vulgar comments and poor reviews. Heres a sampling of some.

    With a quick Facebook search, the company page has apparently been deleted although the website for the business appears to be fully functional.

    Higgins may not have a Facebook page, but hes surely gotten a lot of free exposure from the whole thing. He likely wont be getting any business in the Lexington, Kentucky, area, but the business appears to be operated out of Omaha, Nebraska, anyway.

    NORTH TEXAS (CBS11) Sundays storms caused plenty of damage. Now North Texans are trying to get their roofs repaired without being ripped off by bad roofers.

    Texas is the only Gulf state that has zero roofing regulations, but a new bill being considered by state lawmakers could change that.

    Republican State Representative Giovanni Capriglione of Keller has introduced legislation calling for a voluntary certification system.

    Roofers would have to register with the state and maintain insurance to make the list. What we are trying to do is create a seal, said Capriglione. A good housekeeping type of seal but endorsed by the state, he said.

    Steven Badger of the Zelle Law Firm says the problem is an epidemic in Texas right now. Right now there is absolutely nothing. There is no protection for Texas consumers from getting ripped off from these contractors.

    He filed a class action lawsuit against House of Tomorrow, a roofing company accused of taking money without doing the work. Almost 100 victims have come forward since our first Consumer Justice investigation into the company. The company has since filed for bankruptcy.

    Brenda Abdalla has a similar problem. She and her husband hired Metroplex Roof & Fence back in April 2016. There was a lot of damage in the area, so it was kind of like get in line and wait your turn. So I was okay with that.

    They handed over a $4,000 check as down payment; the work still hasnt started. They wont answer their phones nothing! said Abdalla. Its just like they disappeared.

    On Monday,an attorney for Chuck Fairchild, the owner of Metroplex Roof & Fence, released the following statement:

    Metroplex Roof & Fence has the Abdallas on their install list and remains committed to installing a roof for them. The previous delays have simply been due to turnover, install crew shortages, and materials delays. Please ask the Abdallas to contact Metroplex (or myself) and we will get something scheduled as soon as they are ready to proceed.

    After a year without answers, the Abdallas just want a refund.

    As for the legislation, Rep. Capriglione says similar bills have died in the past. Hes urging Texans to contact their lawmakers to voice their support for the bill.
