Going for Quality

07/09/2010

My mom is a perfectionist and she won’t settle for anything less. She had been the mastermind of the different modifications in our home since I was little. One of her major projects was having our floors re-installed with tiles. She went to a flooring company Florida  to check on their wares. After a few days, some Florida flooring contractors went to our house and started installing the tiles. I didn’t know that the results would be a work of art.

It was one of the best things that my mom did for the improvement of our home. It was very nice to have this new look because it enhanced the ambience of the place. Something new and pleasing to the eyes was welcomed by the family. To this day, I guess I had been too attached to my mom and would ask her opinion about different things. One thing I liked about her is that she would just smile and encourage me to think for myself. Well then, I think I’m going to have carpets installed in my new house, just to give her a little surprise.

Family Safety First

06/28/2010

With all the crimes happening everywhere, my mom had started to be fearful. Hearing these break-ins and robbery happening nearby our vicinity, she wondered when will be the fateful day when we will be the victims. To keep her mind at ease, I bought for her iron doors. When I told her that these doors will be mounted for our security, she was thankful. I guess it’s what she’s been waiting for after all.

After my mom and dad divorced, it’s been her who took care of us. There are three of us in our home, and me, being the eldest, must take responsibility and help out the family finances. Mom really wanted the best for us, but it safety comes first. I got to contact these makers of good steel railings so that our entry way would be secured no matter what, especially when my little sister is left at home when mom and I have to work. We’re saving up for mount a reliable view fencing next, so that we would all feel safe and sheltered. Even now that the crimes are happening so near to us, at least our house would be a bit more protected, and my mom’s worry will be put to an ease. Family safety first, after all, it’s because of them that we’re working hard for.

Staying Cool

06/22/2010

After much discussion with my mom and dad they finally agreed to get an AC installed in my room. I had been pestering them for months and it’s a good thing that my persistence made the difference. We went to a commercial air conditioning Tampa to purchase an AC for my room. Of course, they get to choose the type of AC for my room. It doesn’t matter, as long as I get an AC then I’m content in tagging along with them.

My dad asked one of their staff to recommend a simple yet reliable AC that would fit a room perfectly. He offered some suggestions and detailed explanation about each unit. After asking for my mom’s opinion, they decided to buy this simple looking AC. After it was installed in my room I was very happy. Now I could stay in my room to relax and play computer games. I’m very thankful for my parents for granting my request. My friends asked where did I get my new AC. I told them to go to the ac company in Tampa which sells quality air conditioning units. With my new AC, I plan on staying cool for the rest of the summer.

A Satisfied Coffee Shop Owner

06/15/2010

Right after college I decided to establish my own business.  I had chosen to build a coffee shop.  This was triggered when I was in my senior years and I realized that almost, if not all, students loved to drink coffee to stay awake or just to calm down their nerves.  I was so sure that people from different walks of life loved coffee too.  I was right.  The coffee shop was a big hit in my city. 

With the increasing number of customers, I am faced with a dilemma.  I need to expand my shop to accommodate them.  But, I do not have space anymore.  My shop is located alongside the street.  Fortunately, my friend suggested I use retractable awnings.  I browsed through the product catalogue online and was impressed with the products that this certain company sells.

I also decide to use the sidewalk outside the door and use sun umbrellas so my valued customers will be protected by the sun and the unpredictable rain too.  My customers are so happy and pleased with the newly added device, they promise to tell their friends about it.  Thanks to the manufacturers of these awnings, canopies and umbrellas for helping me out in my problems!

God Bless Evapo Rust

05/27/2010

All the windows in and out of the house are made of steel and a little bit of iron. That is why they are very prone to rusting. The moment I realized this disadvantage of having steel windows, I felt like we somehow made a wrong decision of choosing steel over wood. However, my husband thought that choosing steel and iron is the best choice we had at the time. We just have to make Rust removal part of our to-do list every three months. Thought it will be a tedious work, we are left with no choice.

In our first ‘rust removal day’, my husband saw how hard the job really is, and so, he went on a hunt for the best rust removing solution in town. He even asked recommendations from some of our friends and acquaintances. We tried everything they have recommended us, but none seem to do the job right. My husband was really disappointed, until he was introduced to evapo rust. One of his officemates told him that this product is scrub-free, and that it is also very safe to use, since it is non-toxic.

We are now very happy with our windows. It is the best decision after all. God bless evapo-rust, our windows are now rust-free and is also looking very crisp.

Friends Forever

05/24/2010

My friend’s house has a small area at the back where we love to hang around especially during weekends.  We would have a few drinks while munching on some chips after cooking a fabulous dinner.  We always had fun except for the fact that there were bugs who literally bug us.  We already tried candles, sprays and electric bug repellants but to no avail.  Until one of our friends suggested to have the area screened just like what she saw in the magazine. 

Everyone agreed that it was such a good idea! However, we were not aware of a company that does patio enclosure Tampa.  Of course, we all turned to the Internet for some quick information and stumbled upon their website.  Since it was already too late to call, we just filled out the online form and waited for a response. 

True enough, someone from them called up the next day and an appointment was set.  The guys arrived just in time when we were all gathered in my friend’s house.  We wanted to be there to know if it was also viable also for us to have one installed in our own houses. They guys were friendly and professional in our inquiries and did not have a hard time convincing us to have screen enclosure Tampa Fl installed in our own homes.

Filling Up the Space

05/17/2010

I am a huge shopper. Shopping makes me feel good, and I got addicted to it easily, especially now that I recently had my first job. Now, my mom keeps on ranting that my room looks like a big retail center. She even suggested that I sell or give out some of them, to give my room more space for my work stuffs. Although I can hand down some of my clothes to my younger sisters, I really find it hard to let go of some of my personal things because I might use them again in the future.

My friend then suggested that I won’t need to give some of things up if I would learn to organize. She then gave me this site which offers closet organizers and ideas for closet space solutions. I was hesitant at first because I thought that it would cost me a lot. However, I found out that I was wrong.

My clothes are now shelved properly. They are even organized by color, so it is easier for me to look for the certain dress or top I am planning to wear. Also, the company recommended some custom closet ideas, because I am planning to renovate my room to make way for a bigger closet I think I will need in the future. By that time, I am sure to hire the same company again.

Business Partner - Indeed

05/12/2010

I am now financially-able because of what I do. I sell houses, apartments, condo units and other like properties. I can always make a sale of not less than 1 major client in a month because I know of trade secrets other real estate agents don’t know. I have a partner in business. In every home that I sell, this kitchen remodeling contractor is always by my side.

So, what are these trade secrets that makes me successful? Think about selling a home and not a house. The person should want to live there, should be comfortable in there and must be able to relax and unwind at that particular place. Home is a place of peace and a sanctuary.

More to that, there are 3 rooms in a home that buyers always take that first look and then decide, to buy or not to buy: master’s bedroom, toilet and bath room and the kitchen. I always make it a point that these 3 rooms are very well presented. That is why I always call on this company to do the kitchen remodeling because almost all clients of mine stop at the kitchen and say “YES, I WANT IT! ” while looking at the wonderfully crafted cabinets and designer table counters. Sale is closed!

Kitchen love

05/10/2010

My cousin’s kitchen has a 50’s look and I have told her countless times, it needs a little touch-up. She asked me to help her find companies that can help her transform her kitchen into a modern-look. I tweeted my architect friend and asked for his help. Unfortunately, he declined when he found out our budget was below his means. Then somebody tweeted me and asked me to see this site that involves home improvement.

I went to search the site he given me and found that it was indeed and experienced company that’s been running for 36 years. I told them that I was looking for a crew who does  flooring Raleigh area  and that we needed for our kitchen ceramic flooring to be repaired. They asked for our style and the project was started three days after we had free consultation.

What I liked about them is that they’re not that expensive. They even offered us their paint store Raleigh locality to choose what type of paint and what color we want - which is part of their service. The result was astonishing! Using cool stainless steel which was blended with warm juniper wood made the kitchen very comfortable and clean - it was like a picture out of a home magazine feature. A once 50’s kitchen has now been remodeled into a beautiful, modern room with buffet and bar that works for everyday use completed with black and white ceramic flooring. It was highly appreciated specially by the kids. Now the entire family can gather in the room and bond while eating deliciously enjoying the perfect ambiance.
