Preliminary Commercial Contractor Budgeting

Aloha builders commercial Construction

The initial contact that Aloha Construction generally receives began with a preliminary budget request and the interest in our company’s ability to perform your desired build out project. The questions generally raised are involving preliminary square footage cost expectation to establish the possible preliminary budgeting prior to moving forward. We offer a complete business portfolio with relationships and current build out project site visits that we are involved in throughout the many years of serving the northwest panhandle of Florida. We believe it is more like an interview of our company’s ability to perform the build out project you desire. Once you decide to become a client we move forward to the preliminary planning stages of the build out project for the Destin, Panama City Beach, Miramar Beach, & 30A areas.

How to Add Protection to Your Home Before the Next Hurricane

Hurricanes: They are the only disadvantage to the relative paradise we live in. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to prevent them from affecting our area. All we can do as property owners is prepare for them by protecting our homes and businesses. On average, there are 11 named storms per year roughly half of which make it to major hurricane status. Even without a direct impact, if it comes close enough those strong winds can cause big problems for your property. The storm surge is an issue too for coastal properties. Knowing how to prepare your home is the best defense against hurricanes. Here are some of the things you can do to ensure your home stays safe during the next storm.

Protect your windows

Hurricane glass windows are the best way to protect your windows from damage caused by a hurricane. They are designed to withstand the highest winds. Not everyone can afford to replace all the windows in their home and sometimes, time is of the essence. Storm shutters are another way that people protect their homes. They won’t allow any light in which adds to the dreariness of the storm, however they will keep you and your home safe. Shutters are a much better alternative to plywood which can warp and be wasteful, plus not everyone knows how to cut it like a pro. Hurricane glass and hurricane shutters will last and last through every hurricane season.

Things about your roof

It might be time to be proactive and replace your roof before the storm does it for you. A hip roof has a maximum of a 30-degree pitch to it. If you have an older home, you can use hurricane straps, end brackets, braces or gables to keep it firmly in place during the storm. An expert can help you find the right solution.

Keep those gutters clean

Pull out the ladder and take a quick look at your gutters. If you see leaves and debris, get it out of there. Clean gutters will help ensure the water flows away from your home and doesn’t pool on the roof or around the ground when the rain won’t let up.

Inspect your landscaping

Take a good look at the trees on your property. If you have anything that’s dead or damaged, get it out of there or else the hurricane will likely fling it around and damage your home or one of your neighbor’s homes. This will also save you time after the storm when there is debris all over. Well-maintained landscaping means less mess.
