Water/ Fire/Termite Repairs

Water:
Leaking water in your home can feel like an impossible problem to solve. You may also have to fix carpet water damage, home water damage, drywall water damage and wet basements that can happen as a result of water damage. Moisture detectors, hygrometers and other meters measure the extent of moisture saturation.

Fire:

• Comprehensive damage assessment to structure and content
• Board up
• Thorough Soot Cleanup and Acidic Smoke Removal
• Odor removal and Indoor Air Quality Control
• Disinfection & Anti-Microbial Treatments Sanitation

Termite:
Once you determine that your house has been attacked by termites, it is important to repair the damage as quickly as possible. Termites will eat almost anything made from wood and once they start feeding on your house, they will move to new objects and new wood as quickly as they can find it. This includes your furniture and any wood you have inside your home.

Of course, the first step is to call a specialist from Landmark Remodeling INC to find out how to stop the termite invasion. Do not try to repair the damage without making sure that all the termites are gone and inspected. Enlist the support of a professional termite control organization and remove the termites as quickly as possible. Take the time and the necessary effort to inspect your entire home for termites, do not concentrate on the damaged area only. You may also want to try and back track the termites path to determine how they found their way into your home and repair any areas that could allow the termites to return.

Wood that is in your home’s structure is going to be very difficult to repair. Usually you will find that the damaged wood is connected to other non-wood components that you cannot or do not want to replace. While you may enjoy do-it-yourself home improvements, if you have termite damage it may be helpful to consult with a professional contractor to determine how to go about repairing the damage. A professional from Landmark Remodeling who has experience with termite repairs will be able to help you lay out a plan for repair.

If your termite damage is in wood that does not contain any utilities or carry the load of your structure, you may not need to replace the damaged wood. Instead of replacing the wood, you may be able to install a new piece of wood next to the damaged wood. In many areas this is an acceptable method of repair and meets the building code. Your contractor or building consultant from Landmark Remodeling should be able to provide you with the specific requirements for you area.

In some cases, the pipes and wires installed inside your walls will make reconstruction impossible. Many times termites will damage a floor joist that has plumbing pipes or electrical wires passing through them or along side of them. You may discover that demolition and remodeling the damaged areas will be the most cost effective answer to repair. Instead of having to spend time and money trying to fit new pieces of wood into the damaged area, demolition will allow you to take the entire area down and rebuild it. If you have always wanted to remodel a section of your home, and you need to repair termite damage, take advantage of your misfortune and build a new structure. It may sound like you will need to spend a lot more money for demolition and rebuilding, but that is not necessarily the truth. Please feel free to call Landmark Remodeling to take on such a project.

Always keep safety in mind while doing repairs to your home. The wood in your house structure is supporting and creating that structure. Even though a section of wood may be damaged, that does not necessarily mean that it is not still bearing a load. You always need to support your structure during repairs and practice extreme caution during repairs. If you have any questions, consult a professional termite inspector.

In addition Landmark Remodeling also offers architectural and structural engineering services to better support such demands.

Construction Management

Coordinating one aspect of a construction project is a difficult task. But coordinating the entire process, from initial planning and foundation work, through the final coat of paint in the last room, takes someone with the managerial skills of Landmark, the force of will, and the patience of job. Being a construction manager demands organization, attention to detail, an ability to see the “big picture,” and an understanding of all facets of the construction process, usually acquired through experience. A construction manager is the intermediary between his clients and his workers, between the architect and his subcontractors, and between the project and any regulatory personnel. “It’s exciting” and “It’s hard” were the two comments that cropped up most often in our surveys. The wide range of responsibilities that the construction manager faces means that he should have a wide variety of skills and knowledge, including plumbing, basic electrician training, standard construction techniques, blueprint reading, budgeting, and purchasing.

The most underrated skill a construction manager needs is the ability to convince and persuade. He may have to convince a client that a last minute change suggested by the architect will mean innumerable delays or cost increases, or convince an unmotivated subcontractor to complete his job as required by a previous agreement. “You can always do your job better if you can make other people do their jobs better,” said one manager. The ability to motivate and exact good work has to be tempered with understanding the limits of your workers, and knowing when a change in plans already underway is worth fighting and when it is not. It helps if a construction manager has experience in obtaining permits and certifications for work; “expediters” who promise to obtain permits faster can charge up to $25,000 for their services, so construction managers familiar with the process who can trek through local bureaucracies can save their clients a considerable amount of money.

“Take the time to learn your local building codes,” mentioned one construction manager: “Do it at the beginning so that you don’t get surprised in the middle of the job.” Aside from the high level of stress the day-to-day occupation fosters, the sense of satisfaction among people in the industry is high. Many point to the intimate relationships between builder and buyer, between architect and construction crew, and between construction workers and their contractors as positive experiences. People in this profession work hard, but they are rewarded for the large burdens they assume.
