			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even though the snow may be flying this is a perfect time to get a good look at the exterior of your home. With the dryer precipitation you can see the condition of your home.</p>
<p>Do  you have wood/cedar/lap type siding? If so what does it look like? You need to look at the joints to make sure they are not gaped, make sure there are not any knot holes, and finally really look at it see see if it looks dried out. How does it feel? If your siding is rough to the touch, you get white residue on your hand or you get pieces of the siding coming off ans you touch it, you should have us take a look. Do you like the color? Now that you have the time to think about it, what color would you really like?</p>
<p>Do you have aluminum or vinyl siding? If it is chalky or pasty looking it could benefit from a power washing. If it is peeling or has oxidized it is time for new paint, no need to replace it.</p>
<p>From Siding to trim, decks to patios, we can get you what you need.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the time of year that most people are frustrated with just about everything. We get a call because the family is coming to stay for the holidays and they need &#8220;it&#8221; painted before they get here.</p>
<p>As much as we would love to fit everyone in the schedule and give everyone what they want for Christmas, odd are it may not happen. So save up those lists, put the decorations away then give us a call when we are typically slower (Jan-Mar) and we can really help each other out.</p>
<p>We look forward to your call and finding out how we may be able to help you.</p>

As we work around the closet door a snake pops its head out of the partially open doors! I jumped, let out a Holy &#8220;roller&#8221; comment, and I hear the home owner call to me &#8220;I think David found the snake&#8221;. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We just wrapped up a house in Naperville that had a significant amount of Paneling. The panels wee secure, good shape just had a very ugly color. To avoid a huge mess we gave the customer the option to paint the paneling. each nail hole was filled, gaps were caulked, we then primed it and gave it 2 coats of paint.</p>
<p>The room looks great, saved some money and gave the room a huge facelift.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week we went on a estimate that needed cabinets to be painted. The first question was how much. Wrong Question.</p>
<p>When you buy a car what do make your decision on? Is it only the price? I hope not. How many miles per gallon, the warranty, past reliability, maintenance issues, how quickly I can get answers to questions.</p>
<p>A Kitchen will cost thousands of dollars. Figure $9,000.00 to $20,000 to start. How about refinishing your cabinets? It will be 1/3 the cost of new cabinets. How will you decide if refinished cabinets are best for you: Are the cabinets in good condition, Is the layout of the Kitchen functional, how long are your going to be living at the home, and what can you afford. These are all question you need to know the answer for.</p>
<p>We can make sure that you estimate includes our step by step process, examples of our work, references for you to call and pictures of our work.</p>
<p>Make sure you compare apples to apples! Give us a call, we will help you get on the right track.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we constantly emerge, grow and adapt our business, we have been getting calls to hang mural wallpaper. After saying no many times, I relented and said yes to a friend who needed some help. It seemed easy enough, overlapping edges to line up the seams, no glue, and &#8220;easily repositionable&#8221;.</p>
<p>It was a larger wall so we set out measured the walls, got our starting point, made our straight lines for our guide and broke out the ladder. It seemed easy until I found out how thin the material was. somewhat sturdy but stretchy. The adhesive was forgiving and did allow to reposition on the wall. It did not forgive scuff marks on the wall, it did not like any abrasive contact (left marks), and was not forgiving when working around outlets.</p>
<p>The picture was too blurry too. for what they paid, it should have been more clear. But it was blurry, which looked fine from a distance, not up close to it.</p>
<p>Bottom line, we could have painted a scene we created, they wanted, cheaper with better durability that what they ordered on line. (that the neighbor or dentist office can buy as well)</p>
