Gettum Home Exteriors wants all Indianapolis-area residents to have the information they need to confidently hire the best local contractor for their remodeling project.

Greenwood, IN, United States of America – July 31, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

Social media is chocked full of cautionary tales about unscrupulous remodeling contractors. There are cases where the bills are much higher than the estimate, the completed work is shoddy or dangerous or they may not even have finished the project at all. Knowing how to hire an experienced, trustworthy contractor is key to avoiding these issues and protecting this major investment in your home.

With this in mind, Gettum Home Exteriors has published a home remodeling hiring guide, ‘7 Questions to Ask When Hiring an Exterior Remodeler in the Indianapolis Area’, which they are making available to the public.

The FREE exterior remodeling hiring guide for Indianapolis residents can help to take away some of the mystery about how to find the best contractor, according to company owner Jason Gettum. He states they offer behind the scenes advice which can make it much easier for any homeowner to get the help they need.

“We always provide our clients with the best work we can possibly perform. If there is something wrong or they are unhappy with something we have done, we fix it. Not every contractor is worried about their reputation or cares about their clients,” states Jason. “Because we cannot be everywhere, we wanted to at least be able to give peace of mind to those who are nervous about making a decision over which contractor to choose.”

Gettum is offering the hiring guide to help answer some of the most common questions many homeowners ask. The guide provides information about arranging a consultation, choosing the right design and understanding the estimate process. It helps people to look for warning signs of a shady contractor and gives tips about finding a contractor that is reputable.

“Probably some of the most helpful tips we offer are about understanding warranties and guarantees,” explained Gettum. “Too often people see these and think they have nothing to worry about. That everything is covered, and that is not always the case. We also explain how to recognize good quality material and help people to understand why quality matters.”

The company is hopeful that their free guide will encourage more homeowners to feel confident about their ability to find the right contractor. They also want to make certain that people in the Indianapolis area feel comfortable about contacting them if they have any questions or need an estimate for a job in their own home.

Profit Confidential weighs in on the global economy and warns that U.S. companies’ earnings are at risk.

New York, NY, United States – July 31, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

Profit Confidential (www.ProfitConfidential.com) an e-letter of Lombardi Publishing Corporation, a 29-year-old consumer publisher that has served over one million customers in 141 countries, warns the four biggest global economies are experiencing declining growth; jeopardizing the earnings of U.S. companies.

Major economic hubs in the global economy are struggling to show growth. Germany, the fourth-largest economy, reported second-quarter growth of just 0.3% after experiencing similar growth in the first quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2014, Germany’s economy expanded at 0.7%. (Source: reuters.com, article, “German economy likely grew by around 0.3 percent in second-quarter: finance ministry,” July 19, 215; http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/07/19/us-germany-economy-idUSKCN0PT0RA20150719)

“Japan, the third-largest economy has been in and out of recession for years and China, the world’s second-largest economy saw its second-quarter GDP grow at the slowest pace since the global financial crisis of 2009—and its stock market is in freefall,” says economist and lead contributor Michael Lombardi. “Here at home, the U.S., the world’s largest economy, experienced negative GDP growth in the first quarter of this year. So you have the four largest global economies seeing declining growth here in mid-2015.”

Lombardi explains that as the major economies struggle, smaller countries will follow them. For example, as China’s economy is slowing, Australia, a major China trading partner is seeing its economy suffer. Over the last number of years, U.S. companies have increased their exposure to the global economy. The U.S. dollar was declining and other currencies were going higher. The conversion of foreign currency sales into U.S. dollars made the revenue and earnings of American companies look strong.

In 2014, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices, 47.82% of all sales on the S&P 500 came from outside the U.S. economy. This was the highest on record since 2009. Today however, the U.S. dollar is rising in value against other major global currencies, putting pressure on the revenue and earnings of the S&P 500 companies that do sales abroad. (Source: spindices.com, article, “S&P 500? 2014: Global Sales,” July 2015; http://www.spindices.com/documents/research/research-sp-500-2014-global-sales.pdf)

“Aside from the U.S. economy slowing down, you have half of the S&P 500 companies doing business outside the U.S. and facing currency pressure on their revenues,” Lombardi concludes. “It would be foolish to assume that this year will see the stock market providing the same returns as it did in 2013 and 2014, as the most basic factors that drive the stock market higher—corporate earnings—are in jeopardy.”

Property Owners looking for the latest info on Lower Construction & Maintenance Costs can stop by MetalBuildingPackages.com for a rundown of the top 3 tips on the subject.

Boca Raton, FL, United States of America – July 31, 2015 /PressCable/ —

MetalBuildingPackages.com has released a free tip sheet to help Property Owners cut through the clutter and get to the most important aspects of Lower Construction & Maintenance Costs that are essential for success.

To read more about steel buildings, go to http://metalbuildingpackages.com/.

Some of the most effective tips include:

Faster Construction – Engineered metal building kits come already cut to size and ready for assembly. Structural soundness is certified by the manufacturer and local permit approval is typically faster due to the consistent reliability of steel construction over older building methods. Property owners will see a savings of up to three months over traditional construction.

Lower Maintenance Costs – Steel buildings are virtually maintenance free when compared to traditional construction. Steel roofs last decades longer than asphalt shingles, and steel buildings can go up to 80 years between paintings. Metal buildings do not burn, rot, or suffer from termites and cost less to insure. Most steel buildings will last over 100 years without any serious maintenance.

Sustainability and Green Building – Over 95% of the water used in the manufacturing of steel buildings is recycled and reused. Metal buildings can be recycled in their entirety into new products. In 2008, over 82 million tons of steel were recycled in the US alone. Every green building code, including LEED, recognizes steel buildings as energy efficient in both manufacture and implementation.

When asked about the reasons behind the tip sheet, Neal McSpadden, Chief Marketing Officer of MetalBuildingPackages.com said,

“Prefab homes, pole barn kits, and steel buildings in general are a no brainer for anyone looking to buy or build property. They are better, faster, and cheaper than traditional construction. Know the facts before you decide.”

The tip sheet is available for free and Property Owners are encouraged to share the tips with others who find the information useful.

Sure-Seal Pavement Maintenance Inc. weighs in on the notion that mid-summer is the best time for parking lot repairs.

Toronto, Canada – July 31, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

Sure-Seal Pavement Maintenance Inc. (www.SureSealPavement.com), the Greater Toronto Area’s leading pavement maintenance and repair company, is responding to Mike Holmes sharing his opinion that mid-summer is the best time to conduct pavement repair.

In a recent article for The National Post, celebrity contractor Mike Holmes advised readers that mid-summer is the “only” time for pavement maintenance and repair, as the hot weather means that new paving on a driveway or parking lot will dry faster. High temperatures also mean the material will expand; which provides better sealant. (Source: Holmes, M., “Mike Holmes; Mid-summer is the only good time to repair your driveway,” The National Post, July 3, 2015; http://news.nationalpost.com/homes/mike-holmes-mid-summer-is-the-only-good-time-to-repair-your-driveway.)

“Many property owners don’t realize the importance of properly maintained pavement when it comes to providing water drainage,” says Lance Bradshaw, President and CEO of Sure-Seal Pavement Maintenance Inc. “Not only that, but having a poorly maintained parking lot can send the wrong message to customers and since summer is when employees tend to go on vacation, it will be less crowded.”

Holmes also explains that it’s important to use the correct materials. Asphalt and concrete are the two most popular options for property owners because of the materials’ durability, but they require regular maintenance. He also recommends regularly resealing the area. However, doing so too often can cause issues, so he advises only resealing a parking lot or driveway every three years. One telltale sign that resealing or repair is needed is if the paving is beginning to crumble.

“It isn’t really a well-kept secret that summer is the best time to repair paving on a driveway or parking lot, so it’s a busy time for contractors,” Bradshaw concludes. “That’s why those looking to hire a contractor are advised to book now to avoid waiting.”
