        3. Assemble the frame, and start drilling
        4. You can make it fancy with lights or cloth

Place a  Walkway

Give your patio some unique style! It is very easy to accomplish. Slate, pavers, tile, bricks, you name it! there are infinite options that will apply a touch of beauty to your yard. We found this information on how to do it.  You can use:

  • Flagstone

  • Gravel
  • Brick
  • Concrete

Get creative!

Our most recent BBB’s site review

Remember our post about the house remodel?

Our kind client left us a caring review on the BBB’s site:

We just finish a whole home renovation. It was a wonderful experience working with Larry Mack and his crew, Lacho and Juan. Larry worked with us every inch of the way. When we ran into problems he went out of his way to help us solve them. He has excellent ideas and taste, helping us pick the right tile, custom cabinets etc. He also personally put in special touches that complimented our decor. Lacho and Juan did excellent finishing work as well as demolition in the beginning. Larry’s choice of electrician, plumber and painter was also well done.
This customer had a POSITIVE experience with this business.
This customer WOULD recommend the business to a friend, family member, neighbor or colleague.

DIY: Remodeling doesn’t have to be expensive

While looking for remodeling ideas, we found this article that gives some pointers on how to have a fresh look in your home with a modest budget.

We will share some of the ideas with you:

1. Fast renovation: Get rid of clutter!

Before making changes in the house, consider rearranging furniture, or decide a better location to store your belongings. This simple idea will help you clear up space, and will definitely make you feel more comfortable with the way your home looks. Most likely it will make your rooms look bigger!

Total budget: Free! You didn’t spend a dime.

2. Small ideas, improved appearance.

Some of the changes that you can apply to your home, without spending a lot of money, will definitely bring a fresh image to your house. Here’s some of the ideas we found helpful:

– Kitchen: Change your cabinet’s hardware. You don’t have to replace the cabinets but you can install new handles and knobs and make them look better. Here we tell you the best way to do this.

Also, staining your cabinets, although it requires a little effort, will make your home have a contemporary look. See this example.

Simple ideas, big results.

– Painting the trim instead of painting the whole house can be a money saver!

– Get a drawer organizer. Adding dimensions to drawers will make you realize you don’t require new furniture.

– Repair instead of replace.

– Mix and match rugs, towels, bedspreads and curtains. Your home will be the envy of your friends!
