Take Advantage Of Current Pricing And Save Money On Mechanical Systems For Your Home

I

f you are planning to replace your HVAC system or water heater, or you’re considering adding a home generator or water softener, Cornerstone Pros recommends you act now — before more price increases are passed on from manufacturers to local AC, electrical and plumbing companies. “We just got notice of our fourth price increase of the year — an 8% jump coming Nov. 1, and we’re sure there will be another one at the first of the year,” said Dana Spears, president and owner of Cornerstone Pros in Land O’ Lakes. “We are advising homeowners to call and schedule an appointment now, so we can get your order processed and scheduled before another rate increase.” To help homeowners budget for these expenses, Cornerstone offers deferred-interest loans for up to 18 months. “You will save a lot of money if you have these home improvements done now, before the upcoming price increases,” said Spears. Like manufacturing companies everywhere, plants that make home mechanical equipment are faced with parts and labor shortages, which are resulting in higher prices on most everything, including air conditioning units, refrigerants, electrical panels, hot water heaters (traditional and tankless), home generators, and parts and material for all trades. “We’re asking people to understand that these price increases are out of our control,” said Spears. “We are doing the best we can to hold our expenses, but price increases from our manufacturers have been so sig-

nificant that they impact prices for our services.” Cornerstone Pros always recommends regular maintenance and planning ahead when it comes to taking care of your home. This will save you money, and allow you to budget for future repairs. The only thing worse than having you’re AC go out during the holidays when you have a houseful of guests, is not being able to get it repaired right away. “We can help to prevent an emergency from happening at your home if you schedule a preventative maintenance checkup, which will allow us

to catch a problem prior to the system failing on that hot summer day,” said Spears. “This is very affordable — we’re currently offering an AC System Maintenance Program that begins at just $9.95 a month for up to two AC units.” For homes needing a replacement system, one of the most popular AC systems Cornerstone Pros offers is the Daikin Fit series, which is so quiet that it can be installed outside a bedroom window and not be heard inside. “Our AC equipment product line has the best warranties in the industry, with a 12-year parts and labor

Cornerstone Pros offers permanent and portable home generators, and has deferred-interest financing. It installs Generac generators, the country’s largest manufacturer of backup generators, that run on natural gas or liquid propane, and automatically activate when there is a power outage. “Choosing the right size generator is just as important as the quality of the generator. Our technicians do a full load calculation on every home we quote, and specify a generator that best meets a family’s needs and budget,” said Miguel Silva, plumbing manager for Cornerstone Pros. The company also installs wholehome surge protection devices, which can prevent a power surge from damaging appliances and essential electronics if lightning strikes your home or nearby. Cornerstone Pros is one of the area’s largest and most established trade contractors offering air conditioning, plumbing and electrical services. It is proud to employ over 95 local, qualified people who provide prompt service and exceptional customer service seven days a week. Cornerstone Pros phones are answered 24/7, and technicians are available weekends and holidays. Call 813-990-0561 anytime. For more information, visit the website at CornerstonePros.com.

f you’re looking to sell your home, one of the easiest and most affordable things you can do is hire a professional to stage your home before taking listing photos and opening your door to prospective buyers. “Everyone likes to look at pictures, and seeing photos of your home staged beautifully grabs a buyer’s attention when looking on Zillow, Realtor.com and other on-line listing services,” said Jennifer Schumacher, owner of Sunshine Staging in New Port Richey. “If you want your home to be selected as a favorite, you better make sure your photos give an outstanding first impression.” Research shows that homes that are staged sell faster, and typically for 20% more than homes not staged. “People are always surprised at the tremendous return on investment

staging brings,” said Schumacher, adding that both vacant or occupied homes can be staged, and the cost for a typical 2,000 square foot home is less than $2,000 for a three-month period. “While most clients ask us to stage their master bedroom, living and dining rooms and baths, we can also do just one room or an entire house,” said Schumacher. “We are very flexible and have our own trailer to bring in furniture, accessories and artwork. Our goal is to stage a home so a potential buyer can easily imagine their family living there.” Schumacher worked in the home staging business for 10 years before opening Sunshine Staging three years ago. You can meet her and learn more about home staging at a breakfast tour she is hosting on Oct. 8. Please see the ad below for information.

Infinite HD Offers Low Pricing On Tile And Vinyl Plank Flooring

I

f you’re looking to upgrade your home’s flooring to the latest in design and technology, you’ll want to call Infinite HD in Odessa to get some of the lowest pricing in Tampa Bay. The company’s warehouse special runs through October, and includes tile beginning at just $1 a square foot in porcelain, ceramic, black herring bone and porcelain wood tiles. And, for those wanting in-demand luxury vinyl plank, Infinite HD pricing begins at just $2.99 a square foot. All flooring material is in stock, at the company's 60,000-square-foot local warehouse, with quantities large enough for one room or the whole house. “We are a family owned company that provides full service from warehouse to installation with a one-year guarantee, and also sell to customers who pay cash and carry,” said Rob Howard, owner of Infinite HD. Howard has over 35 years of experience in the home repair and installation industry. Together with his two business partners, his son, Jarred Howard, and longtime colleague, David Rodriguez, the trio offers top-notch customer service

and expertise. It’s this experience that brings many local homeowners to Infinite HD. Howard focuses on estimates and customer relations, Jarred Howard handles purchases and acquisitions, and Rodriguez oversees all installations. Plus, Howard’s daughter, Janann, creates all the cabinet designs and drawings. About a year ago, Infinite HD moved its office to Odessa to be more

convenient to its customer base in Hillsborough and Pasco counties, and to accommodate the company’s growth. Bathroom and kitchen updates are in demand, with many clients choosing luxury vinyl plank or moisture-proof laminate. “The moisture-proof laminate looks and feels like wood, but is more durable and can handle water much better,” says Howard. “Luxury vinyl

plank is much more dense, harder and almost impossible to scratch.” Home shows, such as “Fixer Upper,” often inspire people to do their own home repairs, but Rodriguez stresses the importance of hiring a licensed professional for most home repair needs. “We have a saying in the business — ‘Cheap labor isn’t skilled, and skilled labor isn’t cheap,’” said Rodriguez. “It truly matters who you hire.” One of Howard’s favorite parts of the job is helping clients bring their vision to life, especially folks who have lived in the same house for many years. “They just want a change, and it’s nice giving them something new and different,” says Howard, “We enjoy doing remodel work and fixing up homes for the next stage of our customers’ lives.” Infinite HD continues to operate as a family business, which Rob is reminded of every time he steps into the office, because his grandchildren helped install its floor, and both his son and daughter work for him.
