Stone Ground Effects:
Rotting Wood:
Roach-Motels in the
Rough!
Is Aged & Damaged Siding Hurting
Your Home's Equity in More than One way?
Joe
& Mary had a problem; -- Roaches; -& not only roaches but an ever
increasing myriad of bugs - from ants to silverfish!
It almost seemed like their house was becoming a magnet for such pests!
They also noticed that it was costing more to heat & cool the place.
Well, it turns out that the original siding on the house was getting old &
beginning to rot out close to the ground. The rotting wood was
beginning to mold & was full of entry holes. Because many insects can
actually eat rotting wood as well as the funguses that live on it; --the
house was becoming a haven for pests.
Soon after making that
discovery, Joe & Mary learned that damaged siding can lead to even more
serious problems - as things from the outside like rain & debris get
inside the walls! There have been cases where mold growth actually forced
people to leave their own homes! And, damaged siding really does a
hatchet-job on a home's equity - the very thing that many people will use
to assist their retirement!
Joe & Mary didn't have
lots of money to spend on home repairs, -but, they knew that waiting might
be disastrous! So, they contacted Charles Moody Services for a
consultation. What they learned after the consultation changed
everything! What the consultant from Charles Moody Services told
them was that most of their siding was still good. It was only a section
about a meter off the ground -all the way around the house that had been
damaged by rain-splatter over the years. So,
rather than buy new siding for the entire house, the consultant suggested
having the good siding repainted as part of a "Ground Effects Package" for
their house; -- And ask the bank to fund the entire upgrade with an equity
line. Considering that the package would address the deterioration,
repair the breaches, protect against future moisture splatter-damage & add
equity to the house (& look wonderful); --the presumption was that a bank
would happily provide such a reasonable loan. And the bank did!
Money was no longer an issue!
So what is a "Charles
Moody Ground Effects Home Package"? Well, basically - it's a rock-hard
surface that goes around the perimeter of a building for:
It
is built by either replacing or preparing the existing surface (depending
on the current level of damage & other construction factors). Once the
surface has been properly prepared, man-made stones that simulate the look
& strength of natural stone are carefully placed in such a way as to
simulate expensive stone construction - but at a mere fraction of the
price! The result has the look & feel of an authentic stone
supporting structure! However, what has actually been done is a durable
surface made out of amazingly natural-appearing man made stones has taken
over the function of the previously damaged material! It looks
better and it is structurally stronger; --With a whopping 75-year warranty
on this "stone"! If only your siding had lasted that long! At
least what's left actually may!
Well, Joe & Mary were
totally amazed & pleased beyond words. The final job:
-
Looked better than the
original construction!
-
Was durable -with a 75
Year warranty from the 'stone' manufacturer!
-
Actually cost less than
replacing all the siding would have!
-
Drove the equity in
their home way up!
-
And the bugs
mysteriously stopped appearing!
So,
whether you're like Joe & Mary, -needing a relatively small home facelift;
-Or whether you need more (such as illustrated by the images here): Let Charles Moody Construction Services consult with you about
high-end, low maintenance improvements & makeovers!
You'll discover that the price is better
than you suspected & the gain in equity offsets the investment
substantially. The improvement also benefits the "curb-appeal"
of the property & makes the neighborhood a nicer looking place.
Once Charles Moody
Services shows how many affordable options you have & the advantages of
knowing what changes provide the best highlights for your home's style;
--You'll wonder how you ever got along without us!
