Increase your homes’ curb appeal with a new roof

HOME PRODUC T S SHOW 2018

hile at the Home Products Show be sure to stop by Cen-Tex Roof Systems and Johnson Roofing; as both companies will have experts on hand to answer questions you may have about replacing your current roof, or the best type of roof for a new home or business.

Cen-Tex Roof Systems You often can tell a good company by its employees. If they’re happy, chances are it shows in their work. At Cen-Tex Roof Systems, “every one of our folks who works for us enjoys what they do,” said Chris Pechacek, project manager. And it shows in the quality of their work.

Cen-Tex Roof Systems got its start as a residential roofing company and has grown into commercial roofing, as well, and offers the latest, most durable materials, products and systems.

In addition, they have an entire department devoted to remodeling, renovations and repairs, and “just about anything one needs in home,” Pechacek said. That includes things like room additions, outdoor porches, metal buildings and plenty more. “As the name implies, there are so many components,” Pechacek added.

Popular right now is the metal roofs — which can sometimes earn an insurance break for certain types — and metal tiles that look like shingles.

Tile and slate are also popular.

Pechacek, who’s excited about attending the Home Product Show, just love what he does – and it, too, shows.

“It’s fun to go out and help somebody.

It’s really exciting,” he said.

There will be drawings for various prizes at their booths, booth 143 and 145.

Johnson Roofing Many might not think of roofing when it comes to updating a home, but it’s an excellent way to make it stand out from the rest.

Sherri Johnson McDonald, president of Johnson Roofing, said there are endless options, and now’s the perfect time to replace your roof.

Start with a free roof inspection and go from there. “With spring coming, let us do a roof inspection,” McDonald said. She also suggested ensuring the gutters and downspouts are clear of debris.

“As for roofing materials, manmade slate, tiles, new GAF shingles and metal tiles come in an extensive variety with endless options”, McDonald said.

Competitive electricity pricing

f you live in the service areas of Bell, With 77 years of experience, Bosque, Coryell, Falls, Hamilton, you can see Johnson Roofing’s work McLennan and Milam counties, throughout Central Texas. Just a few you’re most likely in the service range examples include the roofs of the of the Heart of Texas Electric Coop.

University of Mary Hardin Stadium, McLane Stadium and Hillcrest Baptist/ Established for rural customers Scott & White. in 1937, the Heart of Texas Electric Coop, or HOTEC, as it is sometimes It’s not just commercial roofs, called, has grown tremendously over either. McDonald said they do just as many residential roofs and work a 100- the years and now has more than mile radius, from Austin to Hillsboro and 15,000 members with some 21,000 all points in between. Johnson Roofing meters and over 3,700 miles of line.

Johnson Roofing is offering the Central Texas has grown and public free roofing inspections. Stop by so have we,” said Brenda Allison, their booth at the show to get a look at communications specialist, “especially the many roofing options available.

“We’d love to take care of your roof,” in the northern McLennan area.”

McDonald concluded.

One of the best things about the electric cooperative is that it’s owned and operated by memberowners, not some giant conglomerate.

It can also mean an annual distribution of accumulated capital credits. In addition, HOTEC is a member of the Texas Electric Cooperative, which means more stability, reliability and strength. It also has competitive prices, along with community scholarships and community involvement.

Yet for all that, HOTEC is a smaller outfit, meaning more personalized service, with two locations, McGregor and Rosebud, for your convenience.

Let HOTEC answer your questions and find more about electric cooperatives at the Home Products Show. It’s sure to be interesting, and they will have small giveaways, too.

he start of a new year is always a perfect time to think about maintaining your yard. With spring around the corner, Fitzgerald’s, a 15-year staple of the Woodway community, knows the best way you can give your house a real pop is by sprucing up the yard.

“Even though it’s 70 degrees today, it could freeze next week.” Underwood suggested waiting until after March 1st, the day nurseries consider as their first day of spring.

You can get expert assistance with Fitzgerald’s professionals in any of these areas and much more.

Fitzgerald’s offers residential and commercial services in everything from landscape maintenance and tree trimming, to irrigation, hardscapes and even outdoor venues, such as pergolas, patios and archways.

“The nice thing about our company is everything is done inhouse,” Underwood said. In other words, you don’t have to hire a different professional for each job.

To get your home ready to burst into spring, professionals at Fitzgerald’s advised that now is the time to trim back perennials and ornamental grasses, cut back rose bushes, trim the trees and add mulch for moisture.

“And don’t be fooled by the warm weather”, said Morgan Underwood, commercial landscape designer and assistant project manager.

And it’s not just boulders. They can make all kinds of things, such as fire pits, mailboxes, benches, flag poles and more. They can create just about anything you can dream up and customize your project to any size, shape or color.

Newest technology to insulate your home

D

id you know that if you have old, itchy fiberglass, you can replace it with the latest moneysaving insulation? It’s true, and Thermo Dynamic of Elm Mott can make it happen.Whether you have a home with an older roof, a new home you want to insulate or even a commercial business, you’ll want to go Thermo Dynamic first for the latest spray-foam technology -polyurethane foam Insulation.

With this type of foam insulation, Thermo Dynamic owner Warren Merrell says it increases efficiency between 30 and 50 percent because all heating and air ducts are now in a controlled environment; it holds the warmth in during the winter, and keeps things cool in the summer.

“We use proven, fire-resistant products,” Merrell said. “We spray the house like it was our own.”

In addition to saving money, this technology can help cut back on dust and allergens, helps keep moisture out, and saves on wear and tear on a HVAC system. You can also get it financed in-house if you like. It won’t be long before the system pays for itself.

Thermo Dynamic has been serving McLennan County for 20 years.

Stop by at the Home Product Show to see how it works and how they can help you.

Upgrade your home on discounted materials

HOME PRODUC T S SHOW 2018

here’s probably a lot of people who don’t realize that Waco Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore has most everything you need to update your home and really make it stand out in 2018.

“Paint can give a fresh look to a room, and flooring can make a tremendous difference in the home,” Shuttlesworth said. “Light fixtures can decorate the house and give it a pop.”

Habitat for Humanity has operated in Waco since 1986, with the ReStore opening in about 2000.

Recently, ReStore purchased some vinyl flooring at a moderate cost, offering it to the public, featuring a variety of colors and textures.

ReStore offers donated building materials to the public at deep discounts. The money raised is used to build or repair homes in McClennan County. Individuals or companies make donations to the ReStore, which are then sold to the public at a discount.

That means you’ll find everything from doors and lighting, to bricks and concrete blocks, windows, ceiling fans and so much more — all for less than you would pay at a typical store.

Brenda Shuttlesworth, executive director, said it’s easy to upgrade a home for less.

There’s more, so much more. But, you’ll have to wait and see for yourself at the Home Product Show.

“Folks need to stop by our booth at the Home Product Shows and see what’s new in home improvement,” Shuttlesworth invited.

While at the show, don’t forget to check out Darden Building Materials (booth 437), Design Superstore (booths 127, 129, 226, 228), Home Depot (booth233-235), James Hardie Building Products (booth 433), and The Back Yard and Patio Store (booths 315/441).

“More people are moving to Texas than have left all the other states combined,” Woody Butler, owner, said.

“Texas is one of the few states without an income tax.”

In addition, Butler has purchased two other properties and subdivisions in the area and is finishing out its’ Hewitt subdivision.
