Horror stories abound from those who have attempted major remodels or have built a new home with most problems occurring from poor communication between the home owner and builder. The contract amount and what is included in the home is often misunderstood. R. L. Gordon & Company provides a complete breakdown of every cost and allowance item that is selected by the buyer before the contract is signed. The allowance items include cabinets, appliances, flooring, tile, lighting fixtures and many other things. By selecting what is wanted in the home upfront, it allows us to get exact pricing which allows the buyer to add or delete based on the cost of each item.

Anyone who is spending the kind of money it takes to build a new home, should enjoy the process and when done properly, should be an enjoyable and satisfying experience for all.

Same with cracks in your stucco. Cracking is a normal process but again, moisture begins to enter the walls. Over time, if the cracks aren’t repaired, everything from rot to mold issues begin. The painting industry has made great strides over the last few years in developing products to last longer.

Here in Florida with the baking heat, our quick afternoon showers cause temperature and humidity changes which promote cracking. SOLUTION: walk around your home every 6 months and inspect the caulking around the windows, door openings, siding and trim or stucco and look for any gaps or cracks. Purchase clear paintable caulk and seal any areas that need it and you shouldn’t have to repaint the whole house.
