January 11, 2015

If you keep putting it off, it will never happen. It makes sense to design your dream kitchen and have it remodeled into reality.

Long gone are the days when the kitchen was merely a functional room for preparing food. Today, a home revolves around it. Memories are made there. Families, couples and roommates come together daily in the kitchen for meals, to discuss events, to laugh, to cry and to prepare for life’s activities.

So make that kitchen your dream kitchen, once and for all. Let it reflect your personality and taste so it can fulfill its purpose as the hub of your home. 

Updating Your Dated Kitchen

Probably the main reason homeowners want and design a dream kitchen is because they’re tired of their current one looking drab and dated. Of course, every homeowner’s idea of the “perfect” kitchen design is different, but there are

Over 100,000 families call Burbank home, partly because it is one of the safest areas in California.

Home Water Damage Repairs and Prevention

Home Maintenance & Repairs
December 17, 2014

It’s easy to think your home won’t be affected by water damage and need repairs. After all, this is Southern California and we’re in a drought. Or maybe you live up a hill where flooding won’t occur.

The fact is that the drought could break any time. When it does… well, we’ve seen the results before.

Drainage in low-lying areas gets overwhelmed and causes flooding in homes, while water rushing down a hill can get into homes in its path. With the return of the rains, some homes will inevitably have problems with roof leaks, deck leaks, damaged eaves troughs, wood rot, damaged plywood, and so on.

Besides, without a drop of rain, a broken pipe or water main can cause serious water damage to any home, anywhere. Even a blocked toilet can wreak havoc.

Home water damage repairs are serious. So be sure you have a trusted restoration and remodeling company in mind, should the need arise.

Structural Water Damage Repairs

Should you need repairs due to water damage, you want to be sure your contractor will do these things:

Why Do You Need a Home Inspection?

Buying a home is one of the most important decisions you can make during your lifetime. Then, having picked out the home of your dreams, you need to be certain its construction is sound.

The best investment you can make is to call for a home inspection before finalizing the deal. For a small cost, you will receive a detailed report of any defects in the home. This report could save you tens of thousands of dollars.

The home inspection report is also an important tool – and “insurance policy” – to assist you when you negotiate a price or budget for remodeling. You take that report to a trusted remodeling contractor to advise you about construction issues, remodeling and budgeting.

What to Do Post-Inspection

Let’s say the inspector has completed the inspection of the home and given you the report. If the defects are not a deal-breaker and you are still interested in buying the house, this home inspection report needs to be

Homeowners in Southern California are always looking for ways to increase the value of their property. And one of the best options is to build a guest house.

Make Sound Choices for the Acoustic Treatment of Your Home Recording Studio

Recording Studio
November 13, 2014

In recording studios, not all acoustic padding, panels, absorbers and diffusers are equal. There is so much more to an acoustic treatment than just padding the walls with foam. To produce a true and accurate sound in your home studio, follow some advice about the acoustic treatment that should be applied during the design and construction phase.

What is Acoustic Treatment?

Soundproofing your home recording studio is not the same as an acoustic treatment. Soundproofing minimizes the amount of sound that leaks in or out of the room. It is often called sound isolation.

Acoustic treatment is about minimizing – or even balancing – the amount of echo and reverberation within the studio itself. Sometimes the sound and “interference” of the room that is picked up by microphones can make or break a recording.

Good acoustic treatment improves the quality of a recording so it most closely matches the sound of the performance.

In an untreated studio, or a poorly treated one, sound waves from instruments and voices bounce off surfaces in the room and then collide with fresh sound waves coming from the instruments and voices. This diminishes the nature and quality of the recording. No amount of computer filtering, EQ and mixing can get rid of it.
