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.

DYI: The little things matter to our pets.

Most of us share our home with pets; basically they are part of the family. Whether they are dogs, cats, birds, or any other animal, we like to pamper them and open our space for their entertainment and happiness.

This time, we would like to share three little projects you can implement in your house to make your furry (or feathered) one even more happy!

1. DIY Dog Food Station with Storage. (Source).

Big breeds dog owners will know: our furry beasts make a mess when they eat or drink water. Why? it is just their nature! and yet we love them. Right?

This little project will keeps your dog’s water and food dishes from being tossed around, and also, you can store a whole bag of dog food in it. Two functions in one, to reduce the mess in your home.

You can download the free printable plans here, and embark into this task! Or you can also hire us to help you.

2. DIY Cat Scratch board. (Source).

This project is even easier! it will prevent your kitty to scratch your furniture, carpet, rugs, mats, plants, etc.

Just find a piece of carpet, a piece of wood, and the plastic hooks of your preference.

Take a look at this image. In three two steps you will have this ready!: Cut and Glue! let your kitty now scratch.

3. DYI Wine bottle bird feeder. (Source).

If you have the pleasure to have a big yard overlooking trees, then sometimes you would consider sitting outside and relaxing looking at nature. Why not bring the birds to you? Here’s an easy project to feed the birdies.

Just glue the pieces (yes, the supplies list is overwhelming), and fill up the bottle with bird food. Done!

Do you want us to build any kind of pet furniture for you? We can also do that! Your ideas are the limit. Talavera Custom will gladly help you make them come true.
