How to Add 300SF of Living Space
Replacing Your Roof? Watch this Before you Sign a Contract!
Contact me before you sign a contract and I'll give you key clauses to insert. Also, I highly recommend hiring your own inspector to check the underlayment prior to installing the barrel tile and a final inspection. I have a great inspector that is also a licensed GC. The town inspector only walked the front yard and signed off.
How to Build a Fireplace for Less than $2500 (not including my labor)
My tile installer charged $600 to install the stone and it took 2 guys ~7 hours. I did everything else myself. He charges $2/SF to install the porcelain "wood look" tile flooring and it took 4 guys approx 4 days to do the entire house. It's dead flat with minimal grout lines. He did such a good job, I had him tile our entire 800SF patio with a tile that looks like stone.

If you are selling a home in "original" condition, you may be surprised to learn that the majority of buyers cannot visualize what the house will look like remodeled. My solution -- I take them to my house afterwards to show them how they can open up the kitchen and how improvements will transform the house. I can also connect them with contractors for demo, paint, tile, plumbing, etc.

Replacing Poly B Plumbing
 |
 |
The plumbing in Oaks East is Poly B and was the subject of a class action suit against Shell Oil that was settled for $950M in 1995- Click Here for info. The plumber I used to replace the piping was awesome and they did it in one day for less than $10K, but there is a lot you should know before signing the contract. Contact me and I'll send you the additional text to insert. The photo above is not poly B and luckily this leak occurred before we purchased the house.

Make Your Roof Vent Rodent Proof!
I discovered Garabar's new solar powered roof vent has a PLASTIC screen & it's easy for squirrels and iguanas to chew through it to get in our attics. I'm sure you've seen squirrels crawl up your screen enclosure and I saw an iguana do the same at our neighbors house. The roof vent at our other house did not have any screen at all! Home Depot sells a STEEL screen for $25 & it's easily screwed to the plywood inside. Make sure the screws are <1/2" so they don't poke through the underlayment. If you haven't replaced your roof yet, make sure a steel screen is in your contract with the roofer.
