Finally, Construction Starts

It’s been six months since we started the project, and now the Jones family will begin to see their dream come true. The contract was approved in mid-September, and the family was able to find a place to live during the construction. This step is beneficial and a time-saver for construction. With no interference from family living in the home, the construction can move faster. The house they are renting is owned by a couple of snowbirds who are heading to Arizona in October and returning in February. Since we received our permit earlier than anticipated, we are ready to start in October. The timing is going to work well.

How to Get Your Home Ready for Fall and Winter

Now that autumn is upon us, we recommend preparing your home for the incoming nasty weather. Rain, wind, thunderstorms, snow, and hair are about to end up at your doorstep.

Tip 1: Prepare for Heavy Rains

Water is one of the most destructive elements to homes. The damage it causes can be obvious or sneaky. For example, the effects of a flood on your home are often evident when you have a pool of water on your main floor, while the impact of heavy rain leaking through your roof isn't always noticeable immediately.

Staff Pumpkin Painting 2025

This was Shirey Home Pro's 5th annual pumpkin painting team bonding event. It's always a good time surprising the newbies as the veterans jump right in. Looks like we may have one artist among us? The rest of us shouldn't quit our day jobs. LOL

The Value of Remodels - 2025

Homeowners have long debated whether to remodel while living in the home and enjoying the changes or wait until they’re ready to sell. Cost is, of course, a significant factor in this debate. Some people believe there’s no point in spending money on remodels for their benefit when they might have to update those remodels again in the future when they sell. Other people believe there is no point paying for remodels right before you sell because there’s no guarantee that the next owners will like the changes, and that if money is being spent on remodels, they might as well enjoy the changes.
