Finding a tree removal service

When maintenance, planting and removal concerns on your property sprout up, tree care is best left to a professional remodeling contractor.
What does a tree service company do? In most cases, you’ll want to hire a tree care company when you need:
  • Tree ailments diagnosed
  • Pruning, tree removal and leaf removal services
  • Tree stumps removed
  • Soil analyses performed
  • Emergency help when a tree has been damaged in a storm
  • Assistance with insect and disease control
  • Help with planting new trees
  • Fire wood
  • Post-construction tree maintenance
Now that you know what a tree service does, you’ll want to follow these tips when it’s time to hire a professional What should I know before hiring a tree service? Because an unqualified tree service company may cause more harm than good, the Tree Care Industry Association recommends the following:
  • Ask to see verification of current certification before you allow work to begin.
  • Compare estimates
  • Insist on securing a signed contract that outlines the services to be performed, the time period in which they will be performed and the cost.
  • Don’t pay for any services until they are completed.
  • Ask that tree spikes not be used unless necessary.
How can I get a good deal? Generally, the best time to have tree work done is during the cooler season. With little leaf cover, a tree’s structure is most accessible during those months. Because most tree companies’ clients begin thinking about their trees in the spring and summer, many companies will offer discounts and provide faster service in the winter. Beware of hucksters The Tree Care Industry Association advises that consumers never work with a tree company that advertises door to door. Do not choose a company that demands payment prior to delivering services or will not provide a written estimate.

Home checklist for the winter season

The weather outside can be frightful, which of course means you can turn your attention to maintaining your appliances and indoor systems.

Exterior, Basement & Foundation
Check your home’s crawlspace for water damage, animals, or other foreign matter.
  • Why: It’s important to find leaks in pipes or leaks from the outside as soon as possible. Water can breed mold and mildew while animals can damage home systems and spread disease.
  • When: Winter & Summer
  • Who can help: This is a do-it-yourself project. If you see uninvited pests or dampness in your home, you can find waterproofing pros and pest control experts on Kudzu.com.
  • Interior & Appliance
    Look for leaks in toilet water feed and tank bottom.
  • Why: Catch leaks before water can cause major damage. If undetected, leaks can rot wood or damage ceilings if toilets are located above the first floor.
  • When: Winter & Summer
  • Who can help: Tightening a few bolts might be all that’s required. Call a plumber if your leak seems more involved.
  • Clean your washing machine’s water inlet filters. Check hoses and replace if leaking.
  • Why: Hoses that are near the end of their life span could rupture and cause water damage. Kinked hoses also could leak.
  • When: Winter & Summer
  • Who can help: If you have any questions, contact an home remodeling contractor.
  • Trip circuit breakers and GFI’s, or ground fault interrupters, monthly to insure proper protection
  • Why: You’ll receognize the GFIs by the little buttons between the plugs on outlets located in spots where electrical shock hazards exist, such as in the bathroom or near the kitchen sink. They’re designed to prevent electrical shock by “tripping,” or breaking the current. So, it’s clearly a good idea to push the test & reset buttons regularly to make sure they’re working.
  • When: Every Month
  • Who can help: Contact an remodeling contractor if the GFI is not working properly.
  • Check for leaks around and under sinks, showers, and tubs. Turn on the faucet and check for leaks in the pipes under the sink. Look for mold on shower walls that could indicate there’s leakage behind them. And check for cracks in the grout where the tub meets the floor.
  • Why: Hidden leaks can, over time, cause damage to floors, ceilings beneath, or walls in adjacent rooms.
  • When: Winter & Summer
  • Who can help: Simply replacing cracked grout or caulk is a do-it-yourself job, but contact a addition contractor for help locating hard-to-find leaks.
  • Replace or clean filters in furnace
  • Why: Filters prevent dust and other allergens from circulating through the ductwork. However, blocked filters can make a furnace work much harder, causing it to run less efficiently and possibly reducing its lifespan. And a dirty filter won’t be as effective as a clean filter at blocking dust from eventually making its way into your living spaces.
  • When: Winter or every 3 months while furnace is used.
  • Who can help: This is a do-it-yourself job, but be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. HVAC pros can answer any questions you might have or you can schedule regular maintenance with them.
  • Clean grease filter from your range hood
  • Why: Dirty hood filters won’t be able to prevent kitchen smells from being circulated throughout the house.
  • When: Each season.
  • Who can help: This is a do-it-yourself job, with some help from a degreaser. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations or contact an appliance repair pro for help.
  • Clean out the refrigerator, wash door gasket, clean drain hole and pan, vacuum the condenser coils.
  • Why: Vacuuming the condenser coils will keep your refrigerator running efficiently.
  • When: Twice a year.
  • Who can help: This is a do-it-yourself job, but refer to your refrigerator’s manual or manufacturer’s Web site to find out specifics on how to do it.
  • Backyard & Landscape
    As fall ends, rake the last bit of fallen leaves to prepare for winter
  • Why: Lawns naturally need sunlight to thrive. And there’s less of it during the shorter days of late fall and winter. A mat of thick leaves can kill that grass you so carefully tended during the warmer months.
  • When: Late Fall, Early Winter.
  • Who can help: Most lawn care companies offer basic packages of year-round maintenance that include fertilizing, trimming, edging and weed control.
  • Spot treat any cases of winter weeds in warm-season turf & spread a crab-grass pre-emergent
  • Why: You must apply pre-emergent crabgrass killer before the crabgrass seeds germinate, which happens in the early spring when the temperature of the surface soil rises into the 50s and 60s. So, timing is critical.
  • When: Varies depending on the severity (or lack of severity) of the winter season where you live.
  • Who can help: Contact a lawn care company; they can help you analyze your lawn’s needs and suggest when to spread pre-emergent.
  • How to choose a carpet cleaning company

    Light Surface Carpet Cleaning

    1. Wet Shampooing - A professional carpet cleaner will apply shampoo to your carpet with a buffer machine. The machine operator must be careful not to damage your carpet with the rotary discs on the buffer. After the solution dries in one to several hours, as much of the residue as possible is vacuumed up. The disadvantages to this method are that you’ll have to wait for the carpet to dry and that some residual dirt and shampoo will inevitably remain at the end of the process.
    2. Dry Cleaning - There are several different methods to “dry cleaning” carpets. Some are completely dry methods, and others involve using wet cleaning solutions that dry very quickly.
    • Absorbent Powder - In this method, a professional sprinkles a solvent onto your carpet and allows it to set for a short time. He or she will work the powder into your carpet with a buffer machine. With no drying time, as much of the residue as possible is vacuumed up. This method, unfortunately, will also leave some residual dirt and residue in your carpet.
    • Bonnet - Professional carpet cleaners will often use a buffer machine with a bonnet attachment that is dipped in cleaning solution that contains carbonated water. As they work the machine over your carpet, the bonnet absorbs the dirt. Once the bonnet is saturated, it is replaced with a clean one. The advantage here is that most of the dirt in your carpet leaves with the soiled bonnets.
    • Dry Foam - This is pretty much the same process as the shampooing method of carpet cleaning, except dry foam is used instead of shampoo. The obvious advantage here is that there is no drying time. There may be some leftover solution, but that is easily vacuumed up after cleaning. In fact, some cleaning machines will have a vacuum built in just for this purpose.

    Deep Carpet Cleaning with Hot Water Extraction

    The dry cleaning methods above are great for a quick cleaning of the top 1/3 of your carpet. However, to ensure your carpets are thoroughly cleaned, have them professionally deep cleaned at least once every 12 -18 months. This will help prolong the life of your carpet.

    There’s only one method available for a genuine cleaning of this type: external (or hot water) extraction. This method is commonly referred to as steam cleaning, although no actual steam is used. Advances in this technology have made it the safest, most popular, and most thorough method of carpet cleaning available. A floor wand shoots a pressurized combination of solution and hot water into your carpet that is immediately vacuumed into a holding tank.

    While a portable, rentable unit utilizes the tap water and electricity of the household, a truck-mounted system is self-contained and exhausts all the dirty air and humidity directly out of your home. A truck-mounted unit will also provide higher pressures and hotter temperatures for a deeper clean that will let your carpet dry faster. Be sure to ask any potential carpet cleaners to if they use the preferable truck-mounted system.

    Professional Carpet Cleaning Prices

    Another big consideration with professional carpet cleaning is price. Some things to take into account when comparing prices for carpet cleaning services are:

    • Most remodeling companies charge per square foot of carpet and by the number of rooms and floors. Prices vary, but typically, you can expect to pay from 15 to 30 cents per square foot for a home that has 5,000 square feet or less of carpet. If you have a home with more than 5,000 square feet of carpet, a cleaning should run you less than 15 cents per square foot. The less carpet you have, the more you’ll pay per square foot. This is standard because the carpet cleaning company still has to drive to your house, set up the equipment, etc.
    • Inquire about the different methods of carpet cleaning. Find out what types they typical use, what they recommend for your particular needs, and what the different costs are for each carpet cleaning method.
    • Ask about additional costs for removing tough stains and odors and prices for cleaning staircases and area rugs. Keep in mind that rug-cleaning costs may vary depending on the material.
    • Think about any other remodeling contractor services you might want in advance. For example, does your upholstery need cleaning? If so, it should be cheaper to go ahead and do it while you have the cleaners there if you can afford it.

    Better Energy Efficiency with Vinyl Siding

    Better Energy Efficiency with Vinyl Siding

    Homeowners know that consuming less energy can reduce the overall cost of maintaining their homes. Insulated siding is energy efficient and due to its ability to reduce thermal bridging, it has been added to the checklist of building products or methodologies that can help meet the requirements to qualify new homes under ENERGY STAR® Qualified Homes Version 3.

    Insulated siding was added to the checklist for the following reasons:
    It reduces thermal bridging between the home’s studs and exterior cladding
    It blankets a home, creating a barrier over the studs, interrupting the flow of heat and providing continuous insulation
    It’s rated R-value can be used to calculate the energy performance of the entire wall

    And more recently, insulated siding has been put to the test by Newport Ventures. They are conducting a study to determine insulated siding’s effect on the energy performance of existing single-family homes under real-world conditions, with a focus on building air tightness and heating energy use. The Insulated Siding Energy Performance Study is ongoing with utility bill data being collected over the next two years. However, preliminary results show:

    A 12 percent improvement in air tightness between the existing condition and post-installation of insulated siding
    A 5 to 12 percent improvement in the projected heating energy savings for the four homes post-installation of insulated siding
    An improvement (reduction) of 2 to 8 points in the homes’ HERS index through the installation of a water-resistive barrier and insulated siding

Install and attach towel racks and hooks throughout the bathroom. Instead of having the traditional soap dish sitting on the counter install it to the wall.

    Bathroom Remodelers

We cover everything from bathroom home additions, full bathroom renovations, and even small bathroom remodeling face lifts. It’s important to think about the bathroom design as much as about the bathroom fixtures. If you’re thinking of bathroom remodeling, consider adding elements of comfort and elegance. Transform your cold, dreary bath into your own personal sanctuary. If you have a “sky’s-the-limit” budget, think crystal chandelier, gold plated faucets, marble flooring, and stained-glass windows. Sophisticated - Soft - Elegant While many home interiors are going more simple, bathrooms are getting the royal treatment. Elegance, softness, energy efficiency, and sophistication are the keywords for bathroom decor and remodeling.bathroom remodeling Hand-made Italian tiles, custom-constructed and fitted hand-rubbed wood cabinets, and sparkling crystal light fixtures are just some of the items people are spending top dollar to get when bathroom remodeling. The bathroom is forgotten no longer. It’s your personal sanctuary, and should be treated with special touches. In new construction, bathrooms are getting larger. Combined with dressing areas and walk in closets, some bathroom areas are bigger than the adjoining bedrooms. Add to that oversized bathtubs, separate showers, gym equipment, and sauna rooms, a bathroom is becoming a destination place in homes. In bathroom remodeling, homeowners are tearing down walls, eliminating small bedrooms, and creating giant bathrooms with special amenities such as telephones, televisions, lounging chairs, and a fireplace. Homes with young children may not be suitable for installation of Italian marble countertops that would be damaged by little fingers and crayons. Usually these top-of-the-line items are reserved for master bath suites. But many luxury elements are appropriate for any home.There are options ranging from family friendly to top of the line elegance when it comes to bathroom remodeling! Read below or contact Alcoa Construction about the leading choices for luxury and convenient bathrooms. Decide what you could do to really transform your bathroom from a utilitarian stop-off spot to a tranquil, elegant retreat. * Cabinets Custom cabinetry is designed to provide maximum storage, eye-appeal, and convenience. Tall cabinets on either side of the sink area offers bathroom remodelingeye-level storage for bathroom necessities. Electric plugs installed inside the cabinets help hide ugly appliance cords. Extra-deep drawers offer out-of-site storage for tall bottles.All of these are great carpentry ideas to consider when bathroom remodeling!Even a small bathroom will look larger with mirrored walls or cabinet doors. For a really elegant look, have the mirrors framed in gold- or silver-leaf frames. Both artificial light and natural light will be reflected and the room will be brighter.To add floor space to a narrow room, consider having cabinets cut shallower than usual, and bump out the counter area around the sinks. A pullman-style bathroom will look more interesting without a long, straight line of cabinets.bathroom remodelingIf your space has room, consider having the countertop installed at two heights when bathroom remodeling. The lowered area can serve as a dressing table. You might even have a whole wall of cabinets built in to store towels, rugs, and bathroom necessities. * Tile While many bathrooms have laminate or solid surface countertops, ceramic tiles of all shapes and styles are the choice of the day. For any variety of looks and durability, choose glass, ceramic, stone, or metal tilesEven in ceramic tiles, there are many painted or embossed styles to choose from. These are especially useful to create a border around an area, a chair rail design, or to frame a mirror or cabinet. You can also scatter hand-painted or embossed tiles at intervals on a wall to create texture and color. * The Bathroom Sink The elegant bathroom you’re designing will definitely need two sinks. You can place them next to each other on a long bathroom remodelingcountertop set atop a beautiful cabinet. Or block out a place on each side of the room for a single sink. Each person will be able to use their sink without rubbing elbows.Some redesigned bathrooms have the sink in front of a window to take advantage of the natural light. The traditional mirror is found, framed, on another wall.With extra floor space, you might select two elegant pedestal sinks in either traditional or contemporary designs. Using pedestal sinks will make the room more open, but not provide storage space. So be sure to have cabinets handy!Install a drop-in or hand-painted sink into a free-standing cabinet or chest. It will look like a separate piece of furniture. Or drop a custom-designed sink into a marble or solid-surface countertop for an elegant look.The newest look in bathroom sinks shows a large bowl mounted on the top of a bathroom counter. Artists and designers are using all sorts of material, such as marble, hand-blown glass, gold-leafed glass, or shiny metals. Before selecting a sink of this design, be sure that the height will be convenient to use and that the bowl will be safe. * Lighting By all means, get rid of that yellowed fan- heater-overhead light that’s hanging in the middle of your bathroom. First thing to go when bathroom remodeling!Lighting for a redesigned bathroom (and other rooms, as well) is more directed at work areas. Soft light for a soaking bath can be achieved with a wall dimmer connected to any lighting. Choose some beautiful wall sconces for either side of the mirror, a sparkling chandelier for overhead, or place a small table lamp on the counter or dressing table area when bathroom remodeling. * Mirrors Get rid of the large wall-size frameless mirror over your sink and replace it with a beautiful framed mirror. Choose frame molding to enhance your space. * Furniture For a really luxurious feel, bring a piece of furniture into the bathroom. A tall armoire or chest can hold towels and bathroom necessities. A bench or lounge chair provides a spot to relax. Any woman would love a real dressing table in the bath. Any piece of free-standing furniture in a bathroom softens the look and adds a custom touch to the space.Why not consider having a custom hutch built into your new project as well!

    Siding Replacement- West Fenwick Delaware

    This  is a siding replacement that we here at Alcoa Construction completed on this West Fenwick home!

    Some might ask why it is pertinent to replace old siding. Well, often times the exterior of the home can wither significantly increase or decrease the value of a home. Aesthetically, what is on the exterior of your house creates the first and often lasting impression of your home. Functionally, the siding material protects your house’s structure from the elements, mainly rain and wind driven moisture. Siding should be selected based on cost, aesthetics, durability, maintenance requirements, and environmental impact.

    Siding Replacement

    The owners of  this particular home chose to go with cedar impressions. We removed the old siding from the home. We then proceeded to replace the siding with new cedar impressions! The end result was a beautiful looking home that fit perfectly into the beach decor of the area!

    Popular Kitchen Cabinet Trends

    Fashionable SelectionsKitchen Remodeling

    In today’s remodeling market there are endless choices when it comes to kitchen selections. One of the major improvements that comes with a kitchen remodel are cabinets. Many trends are available. Before deciding on the cabinets for your kitchen go through all of the cabinet options there are in today’s market. Contact a professional kitchen remodeler, like Alcoa Construction, for all of your kitchen remodeling needs and have them help you pick a style and function that you will come to love for years to come.

    One of the most popular trends seen in kitchens today are floor to ceiling cabinets. This allows the kitchen tons of storage and shelving. This in turn is not only aesthetically pleasing but it solves the problem of lack of storage that many kitchens have. Another popular option is display space in the cabinets. Open shelving and door less cabinetry are becoming a favorite choice. This lets the homeowner display china and heirloom accessories. The combination of open faced cabinets and cabinets with doors breaks up the monotony in a kitchen and gives the home a charming affect.

    When deciding to remodel your kitchen, efficiency should be one of the top priorities. This includes the efficiency within the cabinetry. Lazy Susans, roll out trays, bread boxes, hide in cabinets, storage pullouts, pull out drawers, attached shelves for pots and pans, recycling holders, garbage bins, racks for canned goods, and much more are all features that are homeowner friendly. They allow for great convenience and help keep the kitchen organized without the struggle of trying to reach items in the back of cabinets. Decide what your main wants and needs are and add efficient extras into your cabinetry during the kitchen remodel.

    Another homeowner friendly convenience being included in cabinets is to actually add appliances into the cabinets. Blending the appliances into the look of the cabinets gives the kitchen a more uniformed and stylish appeal. By simply adding a cabinet facade panel to appliances, they take on the look of cabinetry instead of utilitarian appliances. Everything from dishwashers, trash compactors, ice makers, refrigerators, freezers, and even microwaves can be disguised. For smaller kitchen appliances like mixers, coffee makers, and toasters have built in doors added directly on the countertop that lift and swing up. This allows you to keep your daily used appliances right on the counter for convenience yet hide them for a clutter free beautiful kitchen.

    Cabinetry shouldn’t stop at function. It has become very fashionable to have a good finish on the cabinets. Take the cabinets from mere wood to a work of art. Distressed finishes have gained popularity in the past couple of years. Crackled finishes and finishes that reveal the rough natural wood grain bring depth and richness to a kitchen with style. Another decorative element to keep in mind is color. Cabinetry today comes in a wide range of color choices. Maple is the most popular wood used in the construction of cabinets because it can be easily stained, painted, and altered. With the help of a kitchen remodeling contractor pick through the various techniques out there and create unique custom cabinets for your kitchen.

    Non traditional arrangements of the cabinets also bring a decorative element and style to the kitchen. Staggered set ups create eye movement and provide a whimsical atmosphere. Create a height illusion by stair stepping the cabinets. This creates a very pleasing visual effect. Have upper cabinets installed directly on the countertop for more storage and to help better blend the kitchen.

    A fun trend that has taken America by storm is installing cabinetry that has the look of furniture. This European influenced idea can include pieces that seem to be free standing but are actually attached cabinetry. Design cabinets that mimic hutches, pie safes, and even buffets. Top moldings assist in helping the theme carry on into an adjacent breakfast room.

    For a lively kitchen have cabinetry accent pieces. Try adding bright pops of color to the kitchen through an island or cabinet the emphasizes a fun vibrant color.This livens a kitchen and provides a little excitement to what can often times become a mundane room of the house. An accent colored island is the most favored selection that homeowners today are choosing. Also try adding in different type of woods. This breaks the monotony in the kitchen and allows the homeowner to play with the mixing of woods in the kitchen. Try making the center island a completely different type of wood and add stools to give the island the look of a table versus an island itself.

    A final trend that is very popular are embellishments. When home kitchen remodeling remember to include architectural design. Wood valances, under the counter corbels, mullioned doors, fancy feet on islands, commanding pilasters, arched openings, carvings, cut outs, molding, and even cornices all add emphasis to different aspects of the cabinetry. Architecturally designing the cabinetry allows the homeowner to give the kitchen a bold, finished, custom look that really reflects their style and personality.
