Upgrade to a Frameless Shower Door to add value and longevity to your bathroom

Published by under Bathroom Remodeling, Home Remodeling

Whether your shower stands alone or is combined with a bathtub, the best way to control the shower spray is with a frameless glass shower enclosure. Unlike a disposable shower curtain, a frameless glass shower enclosure holds its looks and its value for years. It is also easier to clean and, if the time does come to replace your enclosure, its metal parts can be recycled easily. You’ll also discover that your frameless glass shower enclosure adds more light and style to your bathroom. When remodeling, a well-planned frameless shower door enclosure helps you open up a tight space, creating an inviting bathroom that also adds considerably to the resale value of your home.

A quality frameless shower door enclosure keeps all water inside the tub or shower; looks good; allows easy movement in and out of the shower is easy to clean. An enclosure’s proper installation is critical to most of these functions. That’s why it’s important, in most cases, to have your enclosure installed by an experienced professional. A professional installation will leave you with a beautiful, leak-free enclosure designed to give you and your family years of service and pleasure.

Some showers have more than one shower head and are large enough to be used by two people at once. Today’s frameless shower enclosure can consist of any number of combinations of in-line and return panels. One of the more popular space-saver configurations is the neo-angle shower. This unit fits into a corner and has three sides of glass. The two sides that attach to the walls are fixed glass with the middle panel being a hinge or pivot door. Today’s selection of frameless shower enclosures provides a wide range of styles and design choices to fit every taste and budget. Choose the enclosure that will be perfect for you.

AArtistic Glass and Mirror, South Florida’s Premier Shower Door Company, manufactures and ships high-quality, custom frameless glass shower enclosures and custom frameless glass bath enclosures; offering the finest quality glass for custom frameless shower enclosures, frameless shower door hardware as well as a full line of shower doors, shower enclosures and mirrored closet doors. Additionally, AArtistic Glass and Mirror, also offers a variety of bathroom designs, including multi-panel and neo-angle, among others.

Alpha Windows and Doors wants you to be prepared for this upcoming hurricane season

As the 2010 Hurricane Season slowly approached the time to prepare is now. The first thing to look for when evaluating your home is if you have impact resistant windows and impact resistant doors. Hurricane damage can be devastating. When debris from high wind storms become penetrating projectiles, ordinary windows and doors fail. Impact windows and impact doors provide a safe and secure storm barrier from windblown projectiles and blowing rain. 

 

Hurricane and storm damage are not the only reasons to replace your standard windows and doors with impact windows and impact doors; you can save money by lowering energy bills as well as lower homeowner insurance rates. Insurance companies lower rates when approved impact resistant windows are installed, with many buildings being required to install impact windows and doors just to maintain their coverage. As an added bonus, impact resistant windows also provide protection from unwanted intruders, reduce noise, and increase the resale value of your home. 

 

Alpha Windows and Doors is a leader in the manufacturing of impact resistant windows in South Florida with 15 years of experience as a premier window and door specialist. The Alpha Windows and Doors team understand the concerns, needs and expectations of our customers, offering high-quality hurricane protection products for new construction or remodeling projects.

Protect Yourself as a Property Owner with a NTO

Published by under Home Construction, Home Remodeling

Securing your rights to Lien with a Notice to Owner is one of the most essential parts in getting paid for the work you perform or the materials you supply in the Construction Industry today. Sending a Notice to Owner secures your rights to lien a property. A NTO is generally used by anyone making improvements to a property that is not working directly for the owner. A Notice to Owner informs all parties involved that you are making improvements to the property. If you are not in privity with the owner, working directly with the owner, then you must send a Notice to Owner by certified mail within the 45 day from the first day you furnished labor and/or materials.  The following are scenarios in which a Notice to Owner will be needed to secure your lien rights.
  • The Owner pays the General Contractor but the General Contractor does not pay you. Filing a NTO lets the owner know that you are working on the job and the Owner will then secure a release from the General Contractor for each progress payment ensuring that you get paid in a timely manner.
  • The Owner doesn’t pay the General Contractor who then cannot pay you. Filing an NTO within the 45 days allowed ensures your right to Lien the job securing your receivables. Should you not be paid by the Owner at that point, you may then foreclose on the Lien compelling the Owner to sell his interest in the property at a judicial sale to satisfy his debt to you.
  • Person who hires you claims to be the Owner but is actually a Leaseholder.  Filing an NTO allows us to investigate who the true owner of the property is and then notifies them of your work on the property ensuring your lien rights and to make sure that the Leaseholder will pay your bill.

There are two additional deadlines that you must be aware of, 90 days for your liens and 1 year to foreclose on the lien. If you have not been paid you only have 90 days from the last day you were on the property to lien and only one year from the file date to enforce the claim of lien. Sunray Construction Notices, Inc. is one of the foremost construction notice services companies throughout the United States. Sunray has over 20 years of experience in construction notice services in Florida and is the only Nationwide Notice to Owner company in Florida.  You can complete all of your Notice to Owner requests online with Sunray Construction Notices.

Handy Tips on Choosing a Contractor from Alaska Breeze

Published by under Air Conditioning


Check the License
HVAC contractors must be licensed in Florida and hold a current, valid license from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Ask to see the contractor’s pocket license and another form or identification. The name on the pocket license should be the same as the contractor (or the name of the business). To find out if an HVAC specialist is licensed in Florida, call the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation 850-487-1395 or go to myfloridalicense.com and look up the license. Remember, it is illegal for a contractor to use another contractor’s license, just as it is illegal for someone to use another’s driver’s license. Alaska Breeze. Corp. Contractor License # CAC 1813690, CGC 058647 Professional and Trade Memberships

Is the Contractor a member of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)?
EPA is the leading certification program for technicians in the heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC/R) industry. As an independent, non-profit national organization supported by a broad-based coalition of industry leaders, EPA represents a shared commitment to improving the HVAC/R industry through voluntary testing and certification. EPA supporters include contractors, distributors, education and training providers, manufacturers, technicians, utilities, and their respective trade associations.

Check References
Ask the HVAC contractor for local references. Call to see if they were satisfied with the work. A reputable HVAC contractor will be proud to list their references. If possible, visit a job in progress to see how the contractor works. Talk to the customer about work habits, costs, and the contractor’s level of cooperation. Find out if the contractor has maintained the work schedule and honored the terms of the contract.

Is the HVAC Contractor Insured?
In Florida, the law requires workers compensation insurance coverage for licensed contractors. Ask the HVAC contractor if his company is insured against property damage, and personal liability in case of accidents. Ask to see a copy of the certificate of insurance (or ask for the name of your contractor’s insurance carrier and agency) to verify that the contractor has insurance.

Get Competitive Bids
Don’t automatically accept the general contractor with the lowest price. First, make sure all bids are based on the same set of service and equipment specifications. Discuss the bids in detail with each general contractor and make sure you understand the reasons for variations in price. A higher price may be your lowest overall cost if the materials used are of higher quality or the work is more complete. Beware of a bid that is substantially lower than others. It indicates the contractor has made a mistake or is not including all of the work (and/or material) quoted by competitors. You are sure to have a dispute with a contractor if you accept a low bid based on an error or misunderstanding.

Alaska Breeze was founded in 1998 as a heating and air conditioning service company and since then has grown to represent many leading manufacturers and services the needs of commercial and residential HVAC customers throughout Florida.
