Listen Later

SHOW NOTES:

In this show, we explore why factory-built homes can outshine traditional builds in quality and energy efficiency, discuss essential A/C servicing tips to keep your system summer-ready, and share expert advice for a flawless exterior paint job. Plus, we’ve got answers for more home improvement questions!

- Factory-Built Homes: Learn why a home built in a factory can be better built than one constructed onsite.

- Air Conditioning: Be ready to beat the summer heat by testing your air conditioning system.

- Exterior Painting: Follow these steps to make your exterior painting project last for years to come.

 

Q & A:

- Flooring: The polyurethane finish is bubbling on Peggy’s old Saltillo tile floor. She gets tips for scraping and refinishing the surface or installing

a new floor over the tile.

- Porch: An addition to Charlie’s concrete porch is rising above the adjacent slab. It may be caused by expansive clay soil that requires careful preparation.

- Addition: Joan wants to enclose a patio space for her cats. She should consult a professional to do a layout and specs because it would be a big project.

- Water Damage: Raccoons busted the pipes under Brian’s raised house and it’s starting to sink. His insurance company should cover the damage from the sudden dispersal of water.

- Low Water Pressure: Krista’s home has low water pressure from the shared well. She should test the water pressure at different points to detect where there may be a restriction.
