Hiring the right contractor

Hiring someone to do work on your home? Whether it's closet organizers, a kitchen remodel or a room addition, make sure you always do your home work. Is it really worth saving a buck and letting these guys in your home?

Organization, is it all its cracked up to be?

From time to time I run into people that give me a song and a dance on how staying organized is to hard and isn't worth the effort. I agree with them to a point. It takes a certain amount of effort to stay organized in life, not just in your closet, garage, and home office but in everything you do. Your clothes won't magically pull themselves up off the floor, fold themselves and jump onto the shelf if you put in custom closet organizers. You still have to put in the effort, but it takes a lot less effort to stay organized than it does to live in constant clutter.

What custom closet organizers will give you though is system of how to put your "stuff" away. When your shoes have a spot on the shelf just for them as opposed to in a pile on the floor, you know where they are when you need them and most importantly where to put them when you are done. Now imagine everything in your closet having a space that is just for that item. With very little effort your clsoet will stay nice and organized

Going with "cheaper garage cabinets"

I got a call the other day to come out and look at garage for some garage cabinets. I got a real good learning experience and testimonial from someone who had decided to go with a cheaper garage cabinets about 5 years back. The cabinets were all raw particlboard interiors using cheap pinch hinges on the doors. After only a few years these garge cabinets were nothing but JUNK. What a total waste of money for her as now she had to replace them with garage cabinets that would last. All the pinch hinges had broken out (see pics.), the shelves were all sagging and the raw particleboard was falling apart and heavily stained. Several areas of the garage cabinets were poorly built and had broken out. We replaced all of them with our premium garage cabinets. You only want to buy garage cabinets that are finished inside and out with quality materials. In the long run the cheap garage cabinets didn't last and needed to be rpelace, costing more than twice as much in the long run. Remember that the bitterness of poor qulaity lasts longer than the sweetness of a low price.
