YOUR WOOD
CABINETS AND FLOORS
O
ver time wood cabinets and floors look flat and lifeless due to dirt build up, wear and tear, scratches and age-discolored finishes. Cabinet and floor renewal is an innovative and affordable alternative to replacing, refacing (new doors), painting or traditional sanding/refinishing. In only a few days, your wood cabinets and floors will be restored to that like–new luster without the inconvenience, dust and odors from harsh chemicals. At a fraction of the cost, it will save you time and money. If you are looking to change the color of your cabinets, one option is to make a slight color change giving your cabinets a warmer tone of the wood without covering the wood grains. Pigments and dyes can be added to the new finish so that you can achieve virtually any color desired. Say you have maple cabinets and would like a slightly darker stained wood, the new finish can be custom dyed to your color preference and then professionally applied. You can choose to do a complete color change, which will dramatically change the style and look of your cabinets. Select from custom durable color finishes that do not chip or peel, and when applied there are no drips, streaks or bleed thru. If repairs are needed like gaps, holes, splintered wood, etc, they are made during the wood surface cleaning process. N-Hance Wood Renewal uses their proprietary, state-of-the-art non-toxic and odorless products. These products along with their advanced technology and processes were developed to provide consistent high quality results. For more information you can call, N-Hance Wood Renewal at (714) 907-1917.

PROTECT YOUR STONE, TILE & CONCRETE INVESTMENT by Sealing, Cleaning & Restoring
N
atural stone and concrete are excellent choices for durability. Although they can withstand the test of time, they are subject to wear and tear, dirt build- up, moisture and are not impervious to spills and heavy foot traffic. For newly constructed and remodeled home, sealing natural stone surfaces maintains optimum stain resistance and protects against everyday dirt and spills. After a period of time you will begin to see discoloration, chipping, etching and ultimately the stone and concrete will look dull, bringing down the overall ambience of indoor and exterior living spaces. Maintenance is essential to protect your investment and maintain the value and safety of your home. The cleaning and sealing performed during regular maintenance will enhance the beauty of the natural colors and textures, preserving your home’s appearance for years to come. Dirt, mold, calcium deposits, salt damage and even algae can make their home in any permeable surface. These contaminants mar the beauty of your surfaces and can cause potential health concerns. In addition, if left unchecked, failing sealant may cause cracks creating trip hazards. The maintenance of each type of natural stone, along with the type of finish and location in your home, necessitates the need for a knowledgeable, experienced professional who understands the different

requirements for cleaning and sealing. Faux rocks, concrete and pavers used in outdoor landscape design around pools, waterfalls and ponds tend to get calcium build-up, creating a dull and dirty appearance. With a professional power wash, colors can be revived and then re-sealed to prolong the fresh look. By applying varying degrees of color dye, indoor as well as outdoor stone and concrete, outdoor hardscape and faux rocks can be restored to the original color. You can also choose from a myriad of colors and add designs from a variety of stencils or saw cut styles to suit your own design preferences, giving an entirely new character to your home. The professionals at The Floor Maintenance Company, a division of DiMiceli Construction Services, Inc., provide innovative restoration solutions to breathe new life into both indoor and outdoor concrete, tile and stone.

RENEW AND RESTORE YOUR PIPES FROM THE INSIDE OUT
A
ny homeowner who has experienced the nightmare of a pinhole leak understands the frustration and helplessness that accompany this problem. Not only is it messy and stressful, but locating and repairing a single leak can be costly. Repiping your entire plumbing system requires extensive demolition to your home and disruption to your busy life for weeks. Then, after going through all that, leaks can begin to occur again in as little as two years. The good news is that there is an alternative to stop and prevent this ongoing cycle. This process is known as epoxy pipe coating, or ePIPE™. The ePIPE process cleans the inside of your existing water piping system and seals the pipes with a healthy, non-toxic epoxy barrier coating, making the pipes leak-proof and corrosion-free. ePIPE also reduces lead and copper leaching,
36
ORANGE COUNTY LIVING • OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2019
blocks other in-line lead contributors from leaching into the drinking water, and can improve water flow. Unlike a repipe, ePIPE is installed in-place with minimal disruption to you and your home. Because there is no need to destroy walls, floors or ceilings, you will save a significant amount in reconstruction costs without being displaced from your home. The ePIPE process is fast, quiet and clean, with many homes completed in just one day, leaving you with restored pipes and peace of mind for years to come. For more information, a free estimate, and to learn about financing options, you can call Pipe Restoration, Inc. at 949-281-1714 or visit their website at www.restoremypipes.com.

The louvers can be positioned during winter months to cast the sun’s natural warmth into rooms to save on energy costs. During the summer, they can be moved to

block direct sunlight to protect your home from unwanted solar heating. Light control. With the push of a button, the louvers can be moved to give the desired amount of light into your residence. This is a great way to naturally illuminate work or living areas while cutting back on power consumption. Ventilation. During the summer months, a place in the shade is where you want to be. The Louvered Roof System provides this by angling the louvers to a partially open position. Providing natural ventilation as hot air escapes and cool air replaces it. Rain protection. The Opening Roof System has a uniquely designed louver that provides complete overlap to help prevent rain penetration.
