Greetings!

    

  Dreaming of remodeling your bathroom? Maybe you have a vision or a Pinterest board full of images of what you want in your home. Whether you're staying in your home and just remodeling what you don't like, or if you're moving into your dream home with a nightmare bathroom. The end result is fun to dream about, but before you're able to enjoy your beautiful bathroom, some not so much fun has to be done in order for the job to be done correctly and to last for a long time. Here are some tips on how to have a long-functioning bathroom:

  1. Hiring a licensed plumbing contractor to do the job for you, releases you from the responsibility of worrying about the project being done correctly. The last thing you want to encounter is property damage or for your family to experience health concerns due to poor plumbing. The difference between a guy who does plumbing on the side and a plumber who's licensed, bonded, and insured is huge, and it could cost you a load of money and grief in the long run. The difference is education, training, legal permission, and insurance to protect you, the homeowner.

  2. Keep in mind that if you have an old house, you may consider having the plumber open the walls and take a look at everything in there. Make sure it's up to code by replacing and updating the pipes. It's worth the added headache now while you already have a plumber coming and the bathroom ripped apart to fix the problems now.

Continue to dream about those finishes and fixtures. The first step, though, is to hire a plumber you can trust to do the job correctly the first time, on time, and who'll clean up after themselves before they leave your home.

 

 Happy Remodeling, 

Teri and Jim Leinbach 


P.S. If you don't go overboard with the finishes, keep a tight rein on your spending and shop around, you can recoup anywhere from 50%-83%  of your investment whenever you go to sell your house.

If your home only has one bathroom, you can recoup a large chunk of your investment by adding another one. HGTV estimates that you can recoup 80%-130%  of whatever you spend adding a bathroom.

P.S. If Leinbach Services Inc isn't your heating company, we would like to be!

All major outdoor gas grill manufacturers recommend an annual cleaning and inspection to make sure your grill is safe for you and your family.  Spiders, dirt and dust can clog up different parts of your grill's parts. A dirty or worn out gas grill will affect its efficiency.

He Made One Mistake
 Did you know? Some warranty companies won't cover repairs on your heating and cooling unit if the breakdown was due to lack of maintenance. We recently had a man call in for service because his heating and air conditioning system wasn't working. After completing a diagnostic evaluation, our technician found that the unit hadn't been regularly maintained and was in need of some major repairs.
