Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Houston, Texas (PRWEB) July 11, 2014

Saxe McQuain, a real estate broker based in Houston, TX, has announced it is offering new tenant representation services for those interested in renting office space in Houston due to the recent population boom within the city. After a year calling Houston the second fastest growing community in the country behind Austin, Texas, this city is poised to become a major metropolis with a variety of construction projects and housing additions taking place concurrently. As a result, more and more office space is being created for rent and lease. As commercial real estate advisors, Saxe McQuain specializes in connecting clients with office space in the city, whether luxury condos or LEED-certified commercial properties.

While Houston growth is in demand, rent prices have increased to double the rates as previously set forth, forcing tenants to pay higher rates called for by the burgeoning market. These higher rental rates have led to an increase in vacancy rates over the past year as clients cannot afford to pay them. In West Houston in particular, many large tenants have begun construction on their own office spaces, while vacating their current spaces, likely leading to large amounts of open space available for smaller tenants to move into in the near future.

Saxe McQuain helps business owners manage their rent costs and educate them in the Houston real estate market so as to make educated choices when it comes to office space rental costs. The firm assists in all phases of the commercial leasing process, such as connecting clients with the right community, rates, parking, image and expansion possibilities, working with small-, mid- and large-sized companies. Professionals within the firm utilize the latest market trends and future projections to ensure the right fit between tenant and building.

Saxe McQuain offers several services for the commercial real estate sector, including market trend analysis, property needs determination, office tenant representation and lease term negotiation assistance. A contact form is available on the website that calls for basic contact information such as name, email and phone. Clients will be contacted by a professional within the company at their earliest convenience.

About Saxe McQuain: Saxe McQuain, owned by First Vice President Kevin Saxe and Senior Associate Jerrod McQuain, is located at 700 Louisiana Street, Suite 2700 in Houston, Texas. The company be reached by phone at 713-818-7805.

ST. CHARLES, MO (KTVI) Long hot summer days can be miserable when your air conditioner goes out. It happened to a St. Charles man after he had a new unit installed.

Homeowner Shawn Dawson says the heat was uncomfortable. It was pretty hot in there. It was like 90 degree weather so it was pretty hot when the AC wasn`t working, he stated.

So Shawn hired an Arnold Heating and Cooling contractor to install a new one at a cost of $2,100. It cooled for a couple of hours but didnt seem to hold the coolant according to Shawn. So I called him back and he came out like five more times and it still didn`t work after that, he said.

So he called a different company who came out and it`s been running fine ever since it was serviced by the second contractor. He found a couple of leaks in the A Coil. Shawn paid almost $300 to have that problem corrected. Now hes asking to be reimbursed for that additional cost by the original contractor Froggys Heating and Cooling. When I spoke with the folks at Froggys they said theyd honor that request. But they often see defective parts which are covered by a manufacturer warranty. Shawn wonders why it wasnt detected sooner. They used the bubble test and didn`t find any so. After five times I think it should have been fixed, he said.

Air conditioners get a real work out. So do some research when you need to hire someone for repairs. Understand the equipment youre buying and how to contact the manufacturer. Call us with your consumer issues. The toll free number is 800-782-2222. The line is open Monday through Thursday from 11am till 1pm.

Americans learn more about energy savings each year and 2014 will be no exception. While homeowners in the U.S. are doing more than ever to seal their homes and conserve power, there is always room for a new tip. The average household spends $2,000 a year on energy bills, and more than half of that goes toward heating and cooling. Furthermore, Business Insider reports that the U.S. collectively wastes nearly $146 billion a year on utilities each year by not following best practices for reducing home energy costs.

5 Easy Tips for Increased Energy Savings

What many homeowners may not realize is that opportunities to reduce their power usage are present all around their houses, and while many of the new versions of household gadgets available in 2014 are more efficient than they used to be, homeowners need to do more to save money. For families looking for ways to save some more cash this summer, the U.S. Department of Energy offers these tips:

1. Install a programmable thermostat to keep cooling at a minimum when the family is out of the house.

2. Turn off the dish washers automatic or heated drying cycle.

3. Make sure all windows and doors are closed when the air conditioning is on.

4. Plug major electronics into a power strip and turn off the power strips when not in use. Many of these items, even newer TVs and computers, still use several watts of power in stand-by mode.

5. Air dry clothes outside on nice days instead of using the dryer.

New Tips for Improving Energy Savings This Summer

With some members saying Vacaville's future is at stake, a new committee of volunteers has formed to mount an outreach and informational campaign for a possible $194 million school bond measure in November.

The Committee Supporting Vacaville Schools 2014 held its first meeting Monday and plans another the first Monday after the next Vacaville Unified governing board meeting, July 17, if trustees approve a pending resolution.

"We're waiting for the board to give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down," said Nolan Sullivan, a committee co-chair and president of the Vacaville Public Education Foundation, which raises money for Vacaville's public schools.

At its June 26 meeting, the seven-member board gave no indication whether or not it would adopt the resolution, as written in a draft they reviewed; however, several trustees noted a need to upgrade technology and the district's 16 campuses, nearly one-half of them 50 years old or older, with several of those 60 years old or older.

Interviewed Wednesday, Sullivan alluded to the district's many aging campuses as one reason the committee volunteers came together earlier this month. Besides Sullivan, they include Mary Woo, committee co-chair and a Will C. Wood High teacher and cross country coach; former Vacaville Mayor Len Augustine, the committee's honorary chair; and Ernest Kimme, a former teacher and Vacaville City Council member, a columnist for The Reporter, and supporter, like Woo, of a proposed new stadium for Wood High.

Sullivan, 31, by day a manager at the Yolo County department of social services, said the bond measure's passage would determine the educational experience for a generation of the city's children and, thus, affect the city's future.

"Our kids are going to directly benefit from this bond," he said. "It's going to directly impact us."

If approved by the VUSD board, then passed by voters on Nov. 4, the money will be used to upgrade regular classrooms, repair or replace portable classrooms, install energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, provide for campus modernizations (infrastructure upgrades, roofing and plumbing repairs, for instance), provide for wi-fi technology upgrades at all campuses, pay for the construction of a 2-story classroom building at Vacaville High, and the building of a football stadium at Wood High, one of only two Solano County high schools without its own football field for athletic events, graduations and other uses.

Woo said the bond measure will pay for "facilities districtwide where children can thrive."

"We're going to need the bond measure to pay for major projects the scope of the projects is just so huge," she said.
