Sterling Works offers $50 off all remodeling services in celebration of the debut of their new website describing their unique qualifications.

Decatur, GA (PRWEB) February 26, 2013

Sterling Works happy and satisfied customers can attest to that fact, as seen from testimonials on their new website http://www.atldesignbuild.com/. They are a Decatur, GA based design-build company well-known for listening carefully to their clients vision, lifestyle, needs, and budget as well as their willingness to be flexible. They keep lines of communication open at all times regarding progress schedules and design adjustments, stick to the budget, and do what they say they are going to do. They also stays abreast of developing building trends and brings their ever-growing knowledge base to every job.

We are keenly aware that homeowners are allowing a group of strangers into their home, says Philip Trapkin, owner of Sterling Works. We are very respectful and conscientious of peoples privacy. Remodeling can create a lot of dust and disturbance so we make every effort to keep the area of construction confined to minimize the effect on the rest of the home and make the process as smooth as possible. In addition, we use the same reliable, talented, and experienced subcontractors that weve been using for the past decade and can trust.

To celebrate the launching of their new website, they are offering a $50 discount on all their remodeling services. The website describes their various services including:

Custom Kitchen Remodels

With 20 years of experience in the restaurant business and as an accomplished cook, Philip can help homeowners tailor a kitchen to best fit their lifestyle, needs, and budget. For example, one of their clients had rheumatoid arthritis and the company designed a kitchen that worked with her limitations. We are very thorough with our interviews and have a 10-page questionnaire we use to determine a clients needs, Philip explains. For example, we ask how many will be in the kitchen cooking at the same time, if the primary cook is left- or right- handed, what type of cooking do the homeowners enjoy, etc.

Bathroom Remodels

By carefully listening to a homeowners needs and wants, offering ideas if needed, and using high quality products, Sterling Works tailors the scope and design of a bathroom remodel to meet and exceed homeowners expectations. Whether the project is large or small, we approach each project with the sense that we are leaving our mark on this world and it matters how much our customers enjoy the changes to their homes, Philip says.

Maryland SPCA and Atlantic Remodeling Announce Three-Year Partnership

If you're justifying home renovations thinking that you'll recover the costs when you sell, you may want to recalculate.

Homeowners who want to remodel will find both joy and sorrow in the 2013 Cost vs. Value Report, recently published by Remodeling Magazine.

The joy comes from the report's finding that remodeling projects overall could be expected to return a higher percentage of their cost at resale in 2013, reversing a six-year decline in the recovered value of such investments. Every project on the national list posted a higher return in 2012 than it did in the prior year. The sorrow is that while returns are higher than they were, they're still far short of 100%.

The complete list included 22 midrange projects, ranging from a $1,137 steel entry door replacement to a $152,470 second-story addition, and 13 upscale projects, ranging from a $2,720 garage door replacement to a $220,086 master suite addition.

In the mid-range category, the least costly project -- that steel entry door replacement -- posted the highest return at 85.6% of the cost.

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 28, 2013) - Chad of All Trades is a company comprised of San Diego handymen, repairmen and remodeling professionals who have served both home and business owners by handling projects that have included additions for buildings, adding outdoor amenities to properties and helping with repair work that is needed in homes and businesses. The company is set to launch its new program that's known as "Remodeling the Customer Experience" for the benefit of those they serve in San Diego County.

When a team member with Chad of All Trades reports to a home or an office to help with whatever work needs to be done, that team member tends to look at the building from the perspective of a contractor instead of as a trades person. As such, the San Diego contractor who reports to these properties tends to survey the building from a standpoint of everything that could need to be done instead of just looking at one aspect of potential improvement or repair work.

Given this instinctive perspective, the team at Chad of All Trades is going to launch its "Remodeling the Customer Experience" program in such a way that the customer will be able to simply be matched with an appropriate trades person instead of having to call a list of referrals and go through the entire due diligence project for every different type of work that needs to be done on a property. This program will allow customers to streamline their entire repair and/or remodeling experience.

In addition to providing customers with exact matches for their trades-related needs, Chad of All Trades will provide the customer with the same experience that they received from Chad of All Trades in terms of service and approach. This uniformity will provide an additional measure of comfort for the customer and reassure that person that he or she is getting a qualified professional to handle a particular job.

"Our customers can contact us for ANY construction-related trade and we will dispatch the appropriately trained and skilled person for that job, and in turn the client will always have the same experience that includes a call before arrival, a picture of the trades person coming, email confirmation, the removal of shoes until a work area is prepped and other benefits," said Chad Arendsen, the owner of Chad of All Trades. Contact Chad of All Trades today to learn more about this program and how it can benefit you and your remodeling or handyman needs.

About Chad of All Trades

Chad of All Trades is a San Diego home remodeling service that has been providing help by way of home remodeling projects, repair work, outdoor remodeling projects, home expansions and many other types of home improvement work. The team of San Diego home remodelers has a collective level of professional experience that exceeds 40 years, and the team is expanding into these markets because of its trusted track record of results.

Ford is running a special on face-lifts.

The automakers customers in this case are Ford dealers, including several in central Ohio, which plan to take advantage of the offer to cover half of the cost of remodeling, up to $1.5 million.

Bob-Boyd Ford in Lancaster and Ricart Ford in Groveport are among the franchises that have signed up for the deal, which the automaker announced last week. Dealers need to commit to the work by the end of the year to be eligible.

The opportunity is so good that You cant say no to it, said Rhett Ricart, co-owner of Ricart Ford. He will meet with architects in the next few weeks and plans to begin construction as soon as the fall.

This is a step in a larger strategy by each of the Big Three Ford, Chrysler and General Motors to modernize dealer networks that lack the uniform appearance of brands such as Honda and Toyota.

Even though Ford has improved quite a bit in the last few years, theyre not necessarily on top, said Jesse Toprak, an analyst for Truecar.com. Their products have improved, but the customer experience has a ways to go.

Ford said it will spend up to $750,000 per store, which would be matched by an equal amount from the dealer. That could lead to a substantial cost in the aggregate, considering that Ford has more than 3,000 dealerships nationwide; the company has not said how much it expects to spend.

Several central Ohio dealers recently finished big projects or are in the middle of remodeling, including Germain Ford on the Northwest Side and Krieger Ford on the North Side. They might not benefit from this new deal, but they probably received other incentives, such as interest-free loans, Ford has said.

Monica D. Higgins, home remodeling expert, turns to crowdfunding for her latest endeavor - pitching online to reach the finals of High Tide, a start up competition. With just 2 weeks to fund, the process is testing both her concept, the online fundraising model and the experts nerves.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 19, 2013

While writing her remodeling book, Remodel Smart: How to Take Control and Create the Home of Your Dreams , Higgins decided to create a series of online remodeling courses (a la Craftsy or Lynda.com) to go with the book. She shared her idea with people she trusted, and was encouraged to apply for the competition. Out of more than 100 applicants her company, Renovation Planners, made the semi-finals!

Now all she has to do is prove that homeowners who want to plan and complete a major remodel by hiring the right professionals will buy her online remodeling courses, Remodel Smart, and avoid becoming the next home remodeling horror story.

These smart remodeling courses are taught by Higgins and will be available to homeowners anytime they want for as long as they want. No scheduled class times. Online. At their fingertips. On demand.

Higgins loves YouTube as much as the next gal, but she doesnt have the time to sort through thousands of videos to find quality content that actually teaches her something. Sound familiar?

Her Remodel Smart online video courses solve that problem. Theyre designed specifically to provide remodeling homeowners with the best learning experience possible so they can avoid budget overruns, construction delays and shady contractors.

Start ups have to become more innovative in their fundraising and concept validation tactics, and the start up community has embraced sites like Indiegogo.com. In line with Indiegogo.com guidelines, entrepreneurs have a set number of days to raise all or a portion of the funds. Higgins online remodeling course project has a 30-day fundraising window, from start to finish. By exceeding her allotted budget ($29,990 US) by March 13th, Higgins will be able to create additional courses for the Remodel Smart series.

When asked about why Indiegogo was appealing, Higgins noted, "the ability to share my idea with tens of thousands of people quickly online and raise money, is priceless." Higgins is entering the online fundraising pool for the first time and has seen others succeed.

To learn more about the campaign and help Higgins help tens of thousands of people remodel hassle-free, readers can visit the project's pitch page here: http://www.indiegogo.com/remodelsmart.
