Refrain from DIY window replacement - Residential window replacements can be very temperamental and often don’t leave any room for error. Hiring a window contractor is almost guaranteed to save you time and money. Not only do professionals work faster, but the quality of their work is much higher than if you did it yourself. The cost may seem to be more upfront to hire a window contractor, but the price of making a mistake is much higher.

 

Measuring windows wrong will cost you a fortune - It is very important to be precise when you are measuring windows because being slightly off will ruin everything. Hire a window contractor, instead of stressing yourself out trying to get the perfect measurements. The cost of the window contractor will be less than the cost of measuring your windows wrong. 

 

Look into all different types of windows before making a choice - Home window replacement is not cheap, so it is important to do your research before replacing your windows. You also want to make sure you don’t just look at the price because sometimes it will dramatically increase the value of your home to spend a little extra on windows.

 

Focus on energy efficient windows - You will never regret paying a bit more for energy efficient windows because you will be saving money monthly. Windows that effectively keep the heat or cold air from getting into your home, dramatically decrease the energy bill each month.

 

Beware of safety codes - A huge benefit of hiring a professional window contractor is they know all the local codes for windows in the area. Not abiding by window codes can result in issues with the law and an unsafe home for your family.


Ask about warranties - It is so important to ask any window contractor you are considering hiring about their company’s warranties. Some companies may say your windows will be under warranty for two years and others may say two months. Either way, make sure you have a signed document stating exactly what the warranty includes before they start your home window repairs or replacements.

Uses For Metal Buildings

08 Apr, 2020
While most people think that the sole use for commercial metal buildings is a warehouse, that simply isn't the case. Metal buildings can also be used as commercial office space, storage areas, places of manufacturing, airplane hangars, and even churches. Simply put, a metal building is a far less expensive option than other types of buildings. And the higher the metal building is constructed, the more cost-effective it becomes. Please note that a climate-controlled metal building will be more expensive than one is that is not. But on average, metal buildings tend to be cheaper than lumber ones. Additionally, metal buildings give you excellent value for your money, as they are not only very adaptable, but also very durable. Metal building are also non-combustible, which makes them perfect for industrial operations that house chemicals and the like.

Barndominium

Barndominium 101

03 Apr, 2019
Barndominiums have really gained momentum over the past decade. As a modern alternative to traditional housing, barndominiums give you the opportunity to be creative when it comes to designing a new home, all while being affordable. What is a Barndominium? A barndominium has two definitions, but we only deal with the one that states that a barndominium is a large metal building designed to be a home (the other definition being an old barn converted into a living space, but don’t worry about that for now). Barndominiums are generally larger buildings with lots of open space on the inside. With a simplistic and open design, there’s no shortage in ways you can utilize a barndominium. The whole idea of a barndominium is to be simple structurally so that you, the consumer, can be creative in the way you use it. What are the benefits of a Barndominium? Versatility As aforementioned, the biggest benefit of a barndominium is its simplicity. The space can be utilized in any way you can imagine, from storage units to homes and beyond. However, the list of benefits goes on. Affordability No matter what you plan on using your barndominium for, there’s no denying its affordability. Compared to other materials, metal is cheaper. Since barndominiums are simplistic, construction costs are also cheaper. Not only are construction costs cheaper, but maintenance costs are cheaper (and less frequent) as well. Metal is fire resistant, water resistant, and much more wind resistant than any other type of housing. With less frequent damage, you’ll be paying less. And when things do get damaged, costs are generally cheaper. Durability If you plan on using a barndominium as a living space, battling the elements will be much easier than if you lived in a wood-based home with an asphalt roof. Metal roofs are especially popular in areas where violent wind and rainstorms are common due to their ability to withstand gusts over 100 mph. With an entire building made out of metal, things such as rotting and leaking, are far less likely. Efficiency Barndominiums are extremely well insulated. In the hot West Texas climate, the cold air from your AC unit stays in while the outside air stays out. On top of unmatched insulation, metal barndominiums also repel heat, making it easier for your air conditioner and subsequently easier on your wallet. What can I use my barndominium for? The uses of a barndominium truly are endless; if you can think it, you can do it! It can be used as a custom home for you and your family, a smaller rental home on your property, an extension to your existing home, an office space, a storage unit, a garage, a horse stable, a personal work out center, an entertainment center… hopefully you get the point!
