Coler Insulation has options for you!

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 15:28:12 +0000

Spray foam has become very popular, mainly because it is so efficient. It's application is easier than rolled insulation (and no itching), as long as you know what you're doing, which the professionals at Coler - do! You've always been told you need so many inches of insulation for the coverage, however, with spray foam it's entirely different. With traditional forms of insulation we tend to focus on R Value but with Spray foam "we can do a whole lot more with a whole lot less" obtaining R Value. Immediately you'll notice a difference in your home with air sealing, more solid feel, warmer, no drafts.

You can go right on Coler's website and request a quote! There's a lot more information to check out so you can make an educated decision.

Tue, 07 Jan 2025 16:28:26 +0000

Ruth Rowe Campbell of Rowe Realty and DigginForDeals launches the "Truth From Ruth" radio hour, kicking off Saturday, February 1st.

"Truth From Ruth" promises to expose hidden truths, insider secrets and untold stories of the real estate world. Tune in and listen up - because what you don't know - can cost you.

Don't miss "Truth From Ruth" with Ruth Rowe Campbell, starting Saturday, February 1st on WHAM.

Rowe Realty

Did you ever wonder why wealthy people auction homes, rather than just list them? Here's why:

1. Competition:
Competitive bidding results in higher sales prices for real estate sellers.

2. Exposure:
Auctions attract a wider range of buyers, increasing market exposure.

3. Speed:
Auctions provide a clear timeline for sale.

4. Protection:
Auctions offer 100% sale price protection with a "reserve"

5. Service:
Auctions are full service, multiple listed sales.

6. Fees:
Auctions reduce marketing and seller fees.

7. Contingencies:
Auctions reduce or eliminate sale contingencies and inspections.

8. Motivated Buyers:
Auctions attract serious buyers ready to buy.

9. Transparency:
Buyers experience the bidding and feel confident about their purchase.

10. Target Marketing:
Marketing can be tailored for unique properties, specific areas or buyers.

Wealthy people auction their homes because they know home values go up, marketing fees go down and their sale price is 100% secure. That's the reason wealthy people auction their homes, rather than just list them!

Call Ruth Rowe Campbell, the lady auctioneer at Rowe Realty and DigginForDeals.com.

We have two phone numbers coming into our office; 315 986 9600, 585 388 1060.

The WHAM Home Repair Clinic Newsletter - January 2025

Tue, 31 Dec 2024 15:59:45 +0000

Wow, 2025 didn't that seem so far away into the future and yet, here we are! Let's hope things get better and back to some old traditions, too. Think back to when you were young, reminisce about the good times with family and friends.

Plan to make this year the one you'll enjoy new things, try something different that you've never done but always wanted to!

As it's said, life is short.

While you're at it, learn a new skill, build that mancave or she shed, go on a trip, how about that do-it-yourself project you've been putting off!

At the Home Repair Clinic Jim & John's goal is to give advice to do the project yourself, but as we all know, we may not have the know-how to do it right, or maybe the time.

That's why we have a great selection of quality, local businesses and services for you to contact and hire to get that job done! At the bottom of this newletter is a complete list! But we pick a handful each month to explain what they do. Take a look!

John Welch is Jim's Co-host and a mighty fine one at that! Great sense of humor and a great guy. He also has a 'real' job, he is the owner of John Welch Ent..

John Welch Ent. does a lot; landscaping, paver walkways, driveways and so much more, outdoor paver firepits, outdoor kitchen areas, lawn mowing, snow plowing basically all kinds of outdoor projects. John truly cares about doing an excellent job for his clients & he's proud of the work his company does. We suggest you contact John Welch Ent. so you can get your project done soon, making the call so they can come out to your house to check out what you want, they'll write up the proposal and work with you on a start datel Do it now! 585-924-4488 and click the banner to see some of their work!

Well, we're into the begining of a new year but first we need to finalyze 2024 finances. That dreaded filing taxes time. You need an accountant and fast! Guess what? We have a great company for you! Greenebaum, Saiger & Kasdin they are a tried and true accounting firm that will do right for you. Call today! 585-383-5600 Very knowledgeable people eager to help you out. It's practically impossible for us average folks to keep up on all the government changes and regulations. However, at GSK that's their job to know. You'll be able to feel comfortable and breathe having them do your income tax filing. Plus they can make sure all year that you're properly prepared.

Speaking of breathing! Indoor Air Professionals is the company to literally help you breathe easier! Did you know they have duct cleaning, well, of course you did! But they also have medical grade air purifiers, dehumidifiers & Kanberra Gel all things to clean and freshen the air in your home and business! They even have been hired by the US Navy!

Don't go any longer feeling all congested, a call to Indoor Air Professionals will be a step in the right direction! 585-427-8020.

We've, personally, have been told by a customer of IAP that their wife is allergic to cats but with the air purifier it's not any issue! That says a lot! And they get to keep their kitty!

Duct cleaning is very important especially if you've never had it done to your house. When the A/C or heat is on it's pulling air from inside the house, circulating back around you're breathing air flowing through the duct work. But that circulation brings in all kinds of things floating around, dust, pet hair, mostly things you don't know that's been in there for years, yes, possibly dead mice.

Have you started a new business? Well, naturally you're going to advertise on the Home Repair Clinic! But there's also an additional fun way to advertise. Vital Signs!

They can wrap your truck with your company name, number, website, pictures, logo whatever you need! Don't know where to begin? Call 585-787-4256, tell them what you're thinking, they'll have you come in for a meeting to go over it all. Soon you'll be a proud owner of great graphics of your business on your truck(s)!

Jim Salmon Home Inspectors has received many calls from new home buyers that are now living in the house they bought without getting a home inspection. Problems are showing up that they had no idea about. For instance, that immaculate basement with the fresh coating of paint on the floor and walls, hiding water damage, rotted beams, leaks and mildew. Or the brand new shower unit, again hiding water damage, mildew, warped floors. Couldn't get access to the attic when you originally looked at the house, now you're discovering all kinds of issues; rodents, no insulation or ventilation, roof leaks, etc.. Speaking of roof, shingles missing, pieces blowing off in the high winds, lots of moss growth, needs complete replacement to the tune of over $25,000.00!

Most people are getting the home inspection after they've closed or moved in, then realizing they're facing major concerns and costly repairs. Especially after paying way too much for that house in the first place!

Be an informed new or current homeowner - get a home inspection!

Call Jim Salmon Home Inspectors 585-589-5650

Even though Christmas is over when a family member or friend buys a house, you wonder what would be a good 'house-warming' gift-that they will actually use!

Some things they might not have considered;

smoke alarm & CO detector, even if the house has one, can always use more or replace the existing one.

hammers - couple different ones, claw, ball-peen, tack, rubber mallet, for example.

an assortment of nails, tacks, hooks and wire for hanging pictures

drill - electric &/or battery with bits

screwdrivers, preferably a phillips head and flat head - different sizes

tool box

flashlights, measuring tape, level, utility knives, extension cords, batteries

We could go on and on but these are basics to get them through, especially if they aren't the 'handy' type. There are many how-to books for simple tasks and minor repairs.

And, of course, a gift certificate for a home inspection! 585-589-5650! JimSalmon.com

Along with a house, you need a vehicle! Well, Advantage Federal Credit Union has auto loans as low as 4.99%! They've extended this offer into January so take 'advantage'! And if you were overly generous for Christmas, Advantage also has other loans available!

It's easy to become a member, simply stop in one of their many locations, go on their website or call them 585-454-5900. Also check out their student checking and open one for your student, they offer scholarships and your student could be a recipient!

Snow can be beautiful! So picturesque!

Well, except if your driveway has 10" and you can't get out or you're stuck in it. Before this happens, head over to Brodner Equipment and get yourself a snowblower. They have various styles and sizes so you can get one you can handle. No more worries getting stuck! You already know the great reputation Brodner's has, they're very knowledgeable and will even teach you how to use it. Brodner's does that extra customer service and if needed they'll deliver it! Then when the season is over they offer storage and service inspection. They just happen to do that with lawnmowing equipment too! Very reasonable!

So enjoy the snow and know you're good to go! Thanks to Brodner Equipment!

If you listen to the Home Repair Clinic you've heard Jim Salmon mention a 'few times' about his A.C.E.S ENERGY solar array and his new Geothermal system and how low his National Grid bill is now. Along with a lot of other data that he keeps track of during the day, he loves to see how much is generated and what little amount heating his house is costing. Seriously it's basically pennies. With the Geothermal it costs around $30 for the month to heat his house. All he has to do is check an app on his phone from A.C.E.S Energy and it displays all the information. Just to see a little of how it's installed you can click this link for before pictures. Then the finishing up!

This is a way for you to have control over your energy bills.

Of course you have questions, most people don't understand the process but a meeting with A.C.E.S Energy will enlighten you!

Give them a call 585-935-7186 or click the banner for their website;

We hope you have a great New Year! Thank you for supporting our advertisers, companies & services.

Get rid of the drafts, call Coler Insulation

Thu, 26 Dec 2024 20:58:58 +0000

Even though we're just getting into winter weather you've had a taste of how it has effected your house. Did you have a cold draft and had to turn up the heat to compensate? Coler Insulation can spray foam the band joist (basically the boards in the ceiling of the basement and under your first level floor). Many times the wind can come in through small cracks making it so cold. Spraying that area, believe or not, you will notice the difference immediately! Other areas are in the attic, all you have to do is go up there - so much colder, that cold air makes its way down into the next level, again crank up the heat to warm the rooms. Coler can also spray foam the rafters, it'll feel like a warm blanket was added! Generally the bedrooms may be on that floor so those rooms will be much warmer, less drafty.

You truly won't believe the difference. Contact Coler Insulation today! 585-217-9069 or click the banner to visit their website to learn more;
