Is all mold in my house dangerous?The answer is simple, Yes, and No. It all depends on you and your expectations for your future health and re-sale value of your home. Let me explain. Do you have mold in your home right now? – Yes, all normal indoor and outdoor environments are exposed to a huge variety of molds and fungus on a daily basis. Is it dangerous? – That depends on what type it is and the genetics and age of the people exposed to it. Paraphrasing info on the CDC website, no one mold is more toxic than another, but certain people are more or less sensitive to different molds and their reaction to that mold can create mild to serious medical conditions. In some research it has shown that some children and seniors along with people having compromised immune systems are most prone to have an allergic reaction to mold. Additionally, long term exposure to elevated spore counts greatly affects your sensitivity to mold and other respiratory irritants. Need more information; reach us @ mservice@cetmgtsol.com

How do I measure for windows treatment?MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS: Why Choose an Inside Mount? Clean look: Allows for showcasing attractive window or door molding. THINGS TO CONSIDER: Deductions and Light Gaps: A small deduction in width and/or length is taken to ensure proper operating clearance. This gap may affect the treatment’s ability to darken a room. Obstructed Views: When fully opened, the stack ( a compressed portion of the window treatment) will obstruct part of the view from your window. Stack heights will vary by product. Architectural Obstacles: Obstacles such as handles and cranks can interfere with the operation of the inside-mount treatments. Depth Considerations: Be sure your window meets the minimum-depth requirements for installation. Varies by product. Why Choose an Outside Mount? Improve Privacy and Light Control: Light gaps on the side of window treatments can be substantially diminished or eliminated. Fewer Installation Limitations: Ideal for covering non-square windows or if you want an unobstructed view when fully opened. Fewer Architectural Obstacles: Clears obstacles like handles and cranks. THINGS TO CONSIDER: Mounting Surface: Requires at least 2" of flat surface above window or door frame for mounting brackets. Projection brackets can be ordered, if needed, to clear frame molding. Deductions: The manufacturer does not take deductions outside mount installations, so measure accurately. For all measurements, use a steel tape measure only.Measure to the nearest 1/8".

What is a recirculating vent on a microwave?Interior venting or recirculation, is typically found when using an over-the-range microwave or a less expensive hood. It is also found in many renovation projects where it is impossible to duct to an outside location. Interior vents work with two filters, the main visible filter and then an internal charcoal filter. Interior vents have not changed much over the last few years, but the average gas range has increased from 40,000 BTUs to at least 50,000 and up to 70,000 for a professional range. The average recirculating vent will have problems handling the added volume. Buy this as a last resort and dial down the cooking accordingly. Reference: Types of venting that particular unit employs to the air in the microwave.

What are some common mistakes to avoid when hiring pros?As a homeowner, it’s helpful to know the basics of finding a contractor. From getting multiple estimates, to talking to previous customers, there are a few proven methods of finding the perfect pro. During your hunt for a contractor, make sure to avoid these seven mistakes Poor Communication Open communication is the golden rule of dealing with contractors. As long as you find a reasonably honest person, asking straightforward questions and clearly delineating what you want and expect from your home projects will eliminate the vast majority of potential problems. Put this verbal communication in writing to protect yourself from unreliable contractors. Waiting Until You Need a Contractor Not addressing major problems early on can lead to costly replacements in lieu of repairs. Spending $500 on a 20-year-old heating system is not a good investment, but it can take a week or more to find and install the right replacement heating system. As soon as you see signs of trouble, get someone out to your home for a look. Also, be sure to run your heating and air conditioning for an hour during the off-season. Much like a CEO, you should be concerned with the long-term financial status of your home. Not Hiring a Contractor There are a number of different home improvements that present themselves as viable DIY projects, but only to morph into money-sucking monsters. For example; Fence building, deck building, exterior house painting and drywall repair can all fit into this category. None of these projects are impossible to DIY, but the average homeowner should always lean toward hiring a pro when there is even the slightest doubt. Hiring Someone Who Shows Up at Your Front Door Avoid door-to-door solicitation. Depending on what your gut tells you, respectfully ask for a business card and look up the company or call the local chapter of your Better Business Bureau to report suspicious behavior. Hiring Someone to Fix a Problem Without Diagnosing ItDon’t hire a pro to solve a problem without addressing the cause. Perhaps the worst thing you can do is ignore recommendations for further repairs. If a contractor can show or explain why damage is occurring, don’t bypass the problem. Being Enticed by Low/High Bids You should always be wary of bids that are substantially higher or lower than those of the competition. High bids sometimes result from a busy contractor who isn’t looking to take on more work unless the profit margin makes it worth it. Just as you would with a suspiciously low bid, ask both the individual contractor and the rest of the bidding contractors why one single bid is so much higher or lower than the others. Not Looking Far Enough Don’t be afraid to look for contractors outside of your immediate area. Most home improvement contractors service multiple counties. Many contractors are willing to travel and provide bids — especially for larger projects. Give Djs Affordable Contractor a call; it can not hurt; no job to small or large.

Which is better for my family, well or city water?"Water acts as the most essential chemical compound to human existence. As a crucial component to our livelihood, the source of the water that enters our bodies is extremely important. This imposes a common question for all homeowners– Is well water or city water better for my family? When deciding on whether you prefer well or city water, consider the factors that are most important to your family. There’s one type of water that accommodates to cost, taste and health factors. If you’re looking for a pure, natural source with ideal levels of cleanliness, well water is the best choice for your family. Here’s why: Well water is more cost efficient: Since city water is filtered, treated and monitored by the government, homeowners with city water are stuck with monthly water bills. Homeowners with wells have the luxury of not paying for city water. There are no usage fees, and instead, you can use a well and get your own testing and treating services from local water well and treatment companies. There are well professional experts that can drill your well, install a system and apply a variety of services to keep your water treated properly. Well water is good for your health. As a natural source from the Earth, well water automatically tastes better than city water. Well water is also healthier because it’s full of minerals and isn’t treated with harsh chemicals. City water is treated with chlorine and fluoride because it comes from lakes and rivers with many pollutants. While these chemicals are used to treat and disinfect the water, they are not good for our health. The chemicals are difficult to filter out of the water, giving city water an overall questionable quality. Because of this, city water has a longer, more intense cleaning process that causes more problems than benefits to our health. Although these processes make the water cleaner, city water can have an unpleasant look, smell and taste, while also having negative effects on the skin, hair, dishes and laundry. While well water is healthier than city water, it only has it’s benefits if monitored and treated properly. Well water has the ability to filter naturally, but it’s still important to get your well water tested and treated for bacteria and other chemicals that may exist. Well water contains many natural minerals, but too much of certain minerals can be detrimental to our health. Test your water, then choose from a wide selection of softeners and filters to meet your specific water treatment needs. While there are pros and cons to both well and city water, take advantage of the water that accommodates to cost, taste and health factors.

Will laminate or hardwood be better when selling my home?Yes, laminate flooring is probably preferable to carpet in most case, but it depends so much on the buyer. Of course, hardwood flooring is the best, but it does cost more money & is harder to install yourself. ... Laminate is an improvement if the old floor is damaged. It does not increase the value in a buyer's eyes There is no hard data supports the notion that wood flooring provides greater resale value to a house than other types of floor coverings. There may have been a few studies poses the idea that home buyers might be willing to pay more for wood flooring. Some of the data associated that claims of greater resale value use speculative terms such as "would" and "believe that." As yet, wood flooring is assumed the higher resale value is based on speculation, not actual dollar amounts. Still, the people consulted in the studies who speculate about wood flooring value are seasoned professionals with many years of gut-level experience under their belts: realtors, builders, and designers.

What does the R-Factor really mean?When talking about a R-Factor on replacement windows, a window's thermal resistance is being discussed. R-Factors range from very low (0-1) to very high (4-5), with the higher the number the better. If something has a R-Factor of 1 this mean that it would take 1 minute for 1 degree of heat to be lost through that material. So, a window with an overall R-Factor of 4 would lose 1 degree of heat through it every 4 minutes. When looking for new replacement windows for your home, look for windows with high R-Factors. Therefore, R-value is the level of resistance of heat flow through a given thickness of material. Still need some help submit a request via our self service page Maintenance & Services.
