 It Was A Seasonal Water Leak  We get to see a large variety of water related damages in the Sacramento area, the damages can come from many sources. Recently, I was asked to look into a leak found in the closet. There was no know water sources there.That's not entirely true, there was a condensate line from the air conditioning unit in the unit. The leak only happened when the air condition was running for a while, so it only showed itself during the hot months. Since it was in the closet it may have been happening for a while.After repairing the damaged condensate line inside the wall, it wa tested and is now trouble free.

 Adding Some Under The Cabinet Lighting  As a part of a kitchen remodel in Cameron Park, a contractor may be asked to do a small portion of a owner/contractor remodel. I had the opportunity to add some under the cabinet lighting in a kitchen in Cameron Park. This was one of the final touches as the project came to an end. The owners were thrilled with the way the kitchen turned out.

I usually advise consumers to pick a neighborhood specialist over other agents when it comes time to list a home unless, of course, they have the ability to hire an agent with decades of experience and thousands of sales under her belt. The problem is finding those kinds of agents with that type of experience can be difficult because, quite frankly, most of us die before we reach that mark.Except for me because I started early. Yeah, some people joke that I started when I was in kindergarden, but I really got my start at the ripe old age of 22 when I answered an ad in the newspaper to work for First American Title. Been at it more than 40 years now.You can read more about what experience offers sellers in my personal blog today at the link: How Experience Can Trump a Neighborhood Specia...

 I Can See Why That Post Is Moving  While the upper portion of the post appeared normal though 25 years old, the part of this post that was below grade has nearly disappeared. Why did the post rot?The sidewalk was poured around this post which was set in a concrete base. The problem was that there dirt that mainaged to get between the top of the post base and the sidewalk above. This allowed the dirt and moisture to creep in and destroy the wood post.

 Let's Start with the Can Lights In the Kitchen  There is nothing wrong with acting as your own contractor when doing a kitchen remodel or improvement. If you know the process, you can save a some money in completing the project. I was asked to help out this homeowner in getting some can lights installed. This is what it looked like after day one, our portion was wrapped up the next day.

After years of working short sales and foreclosures in the previously distressed Sacramento real estate market, it is such a pleasure to see our local economy turning around and the real estate market rebound. This has been happening for the last 3 years, and it's such a relief to work in a market that is comprised mostly of homeowners with equity and goregous, jaw-dropping beautiful homes.You appreciate this so much more when you've had to stomp over dead bodies in the living room and crawl through the mud and muck just to find the front door kicked in. There is little more enjoyable than selling a pool home in Cameron Park with all the updates buyers want today, except perhaps being a buyer who is on the hunt for such a pool home in Cameron Park. You can check out the photos and read ...

 Somethings There Is A Tradeoff! When working in an apartment community there are times when you have to work around the schedules of others. With this comes a trade off by all those involved. If all parties work together and are willing to make some sacrifices, work can get done.We are doing some stabilization work to the framing of the floor and ceiling of a unit, there seems to be a lot of movment that the resident noticed. To do this project, we have to get inside his unit and get access to the problem areas. However, he has limited us to a small window of time – 3 hours a day, 3 days a week.Now this is not a lot of time we we have to set up and clean up in our usual fashion. The resident has allowed us to cut some corners on our end to allow more working time to do the repairs. We ...

  I'm Sure You Can Fix That Door, But Why Would You?   There is always pressure to save money with investment property. The less you spend, the greater your return on investment. Squeezing expenses can look good on paper, but there are some other things to consider. If you are putting in a lot of your time fixing something, there is a cost involved in that time spent. You may not pay for it in cash but it have value. Sometimes it just makes sense to replace rather than repair an item. There is also a hidden cost when repairing rather than replacing. If a repair doesn't look good or shoddy workmanship shows; this can hurt financially in the long run. You may lose quality tenants who feel that the quality of what they are receiving isn't what they originally thought they were getting. Thi...

It Has Been Too Close For Years!       I was looking for some water damage in a bathroom recently in El Dorado County. While checking out the room I noticed the “closeness” of everything even though the room was vacant. I had to get a photo of this. Though the toilet and vanity were original they were much too close. I can’t imagine 25 years of this sort of close. The original 30 inch vanity cabinet probably should have been a 24 inch.

  Winds picked up last night!       I'm not sure about the valley of Sacramento, but here in the Sierra Foothill we had some winds last night. Being gusty at times, there was only minor local damage. One of those was found in this community, the winds had blown the flashing out of place on the top of the fireplace chase on the roof. I'm sure I'll be the one to fix this problem soon.

  You Don't Have To Be a Smart Contractor To Find The Problem     Many seem to think of me as a really smart guy when it comes to finding water damage problems and how to repair buildings. I don't feel that is the case, sometimes it's just a matter of looking at the obvious for clues. If you were to walk around the back of this building like I did, would you know where to begin your search for the source of a water leak?

Deck Repairs in Cameron Park, CA   While have a brand new deck may be a great idea and one that makes sense, we have to consider the cost to build the deck. Removing the old and rebuilding can be expensive in both time and materials. Getting a qualified contractor to look at your deck may reveal some different ideas. Your deck may be able to be corrected and have an extended life of a few more years at a much less cost. This isn’t always the case but it would be better to spend a few hundred dollars making that deck strong again, rather than spending thousands on a new one that you aren’t ready to purchase. Consider having your Cameron Park deck replacement looked at by a local contractor.

"My Mechanic is in Cameron Park, CA”   My day started with a final coat of paint over in Rancho Cordova, before heading out to Rocklin, CA I had a request to fix an exterior lighting issue in Carmichael, CA. This was all before noon but things were going well, until now. As I start the truck and turned the wheel to get out of my parking spot, I heard something under the hood and I lost a lot of fluid very quickly. I'm no mechanic but I had a general idea of the problem and it wasn't something I could fix. I called my AAA Emergency Road Service, I have the extended tow range so I know where it will be going. I told the driver I needed to get it to my wizard mechanic. And added, “My Mechanic is in Cameron Park, CA”. So I had the truck towed to S&D Automotive in Cameron Park, it is located...

  Forklift by Nugget Magically Appears in Cameron Park, CA   For years there was a grocery market in Cameron Park over near Burke's Junction, it has been replaced with a new market called ForkLift. I had not heard of this company so I had to check into it a bit to get the details and to see how it was different from the Food For Less that it replaced.   First, Forklift is owned by Nugget Market who has been committed providing our guests high-quality, specialty products along with conventional products at the same low prices. Oddly enough, the same company owned the Food For Less Chain that existed here earlier. There are many items that remain from the Food For Less days, with a Forklift flair.   Forklift's web site describes the company like this:   Here at Fork Lift, we believe that ...

  Strong Winds or Missing Screws?   I got a call to look at an interesting situation on the roof of an apartment building. It appears that a few of the fireplace chases were losing the sheet metal wind guard at the top. There was some strong winds a few days ago but this apparently happen last night; it was not windy last night. The only way to really get an answer is to get up on the roof and check it out, so that's what I did the screws that hold the guard in place were missing. These tops were removed about 6 months ago when the siding was repaired by another contractor in Cameron Park, they must have forgotten to replace the screws. While I was up there I took care of the missing screws!

  I Got Two Calls From Homeowners Looking To Rebuild After Water Damage.     There is no correlation between the two but both called in hopes of paying for the repairs out-of-pocket. That's right, they were looking to pay for the damage themselves to avoid having a claim on their insurance. This probably makes sense if the damages are slightly over the deductible. I'll leave this up to the owners, I'll do my best to get the job and do the work.
