Getting a facelift

Although I could use a facelift myself, my house is getting one instead. In a project that began last spring, the work continues. There’s still much to be done, but I’ve learned a lot about how important integrity is when hiring workers. Of course it’s important that you not worry that those you trust to do construction work on your home not steal from you (neither group that I’ve hired would ever do that!), but I’ve found it’s just as important that they not cut corners to save time and money — but yet charge you full price anyway.

I’m not into the whole slop it up, and leave more work for me to clean up when the job is done. That isn’t what I pay for, and it makes the whole project nothing but a huge pain in the ass. Gone are the Les Kovert’s of the world. Still, I’ve found a crew that I’m extremely happy with and that actually show up when they are supposed to and do a good day’s work at a reasonable price. Lloyd Jent and family have yet to disappoint me. I’ll post a few before and after photos a little later — you won’t believe the transformation out here…
