Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Good morning, my friends, and welcome in.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's the Home Improvement Show of the Midlands on one
of three point five FM and five sixty AMWVOC.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Good to have you here.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
My name is Gary David As we're into the last
weekend before the big day and we got a lot
of doing this hour, Rus Marques is going to drop by,
got a few days left, take advantage of the big
cabinet refreshed special that got going on, making them look
like they're brand new.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
He'll tell us all about that.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Jeremy Halliday and mister Electrical Bby we'll be talking about
electric safety, safety with your electrical systems, the things we
don't know about it's just homeowners and business owners, but
he does and he'll be here to talk all about that.
We get started there with Summer from Beaver Roofig and
Gutters Summer.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
We're going to take things along a little different route
to start off with this morning, and that is you know,
the insurance aspect of all of that, and and that
that that that whole angle, and let's talk about you
know how all this works if you've had some roof damage.
I mean, we you know, we we we hope it
doesn't happen to you, but yeah, when it does, Like
I always say, because I talk about y'all all the

(01:16):
time during the week and you know, and just as
an assigne here and we're not gonna name names, okay,
but there are roofing companies out there that don't do
roof for pairs, big, just flat don't do them. Then
there are And I think I mentioned this to you
a while back. I got an email from a listener.
Oh gosh, this was Thanksgiving a year ago where we

(01:40):
had had a storm and it ripped his satellite dish
off the roof, which caused him. It wasn't a lot
of damage, but just just a little bit. Unfortunately, he
didn't call you guys first. He called another local roofing
company and they told him that it would be three
months before they could get to them.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Right. What's that which is it's crazy. You know, when
when they put a satellite dishes on the roofs, they're
actually they're taking screws, so they're going through deckings. So
when that comes off or it's ripped off, that's exposing
the inside of your home to water and put you know,
elements that can you know, harm the home and if

(02:25):
it keeps getting water getting water, it could cause rot
and more damage. Then you know what, we'll just go
in there make that little repair done right, So you
know that small you know damage could could potentially be devastating.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
So but but he called you guys then right away
told me in the email, you guys got out to
them within like twenty four hours. You had it fixed quickly,
and you never even knew anything that ever happened.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
So that's exactly what we like to hear. And that's
you know, we like to handle business that way. And
you know we we wouldn't want our own to be
like that. So we do try to treat all of
our customers as you know, family and friends. So and
that's exactly what you are after you deal with us.
So we you know, we like to provide give those
types of services to the to the community.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
So let's talk about the insurance angle here, because that
could be a little confusing for folks. You know, homemotors
policies these days, I mean, when's the last time anybody
really read theirs right.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Exactly? There are all kinds of words and line items
and everything else that you know, us lay people don't
aren't very sure about. So you know, I'll tell you
a lot of times people don't even realize that, hey,
I have damage until we get a hard rain. And

(03:43):
like you said, we haven't had any you know, recent
wind or hail or anything along those lines that may
cause those types of damages to our roof. However, we
notice that we have those damages when we get these
hard rains and things of that nature. So or you know,
you're seeing them in the on the ground and that
sort of thing. But you know, we get a hard

(04:04):
rain and you're like, oh my gosh, I've got a
stain in my on my feeling. So that's when you're like,
oh my goodness, maybe I should call somebody, so they
call us out. Whenever we come out for any type
of inspection that sort of thing, we're gonna get up
on that roof. We're going to take a look at
your shingles. We're gonna look for those type of weather patterns, hail, hail, hits,

(04:27):
hail impacts on your shingles. We're gonna look for the
wind folds in the shingles and that sort of thing.
And you know, I'll tell you one or two here
and there, insurance is not going to say, oh, you
need a brand new roof. You know, it has to
be a significant amount of impact from the weather for

(04:51):
insurance to say, yes, we'll go ahead and cover this.
We'll get you guys a new roof. So that's what
we're doing. When we're going up on your roof, we're
evaluating or take gonna look. We're looking to see if yeah,
you probably do have a claim here or it's not
that significant. You know, we can do a small repair
and get you taken care of. So, you know, that's

(05:14):
the main thing that people tend to ask, well, what
do I do? How do I go about it? That
sort of thing. So the main thing is, let us
come out, let us take a look first, because you
don't want to call the insurance company and do all
of that type of thing before you know if you
have significant damage or there are you know, a claims
for them to come out to take a look at.

(05:35):
So step one, give us a call, we'll come out,
we'll evaluate.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
You talked a bit of a moment ago about maybe
you have damage that maybe you've had it for months
and didn't know it until we got a hard rain
and some do you notice that spot on the ceiling
and you got an issue. Okay, let's talk about an
insurance standpoint from our turns with the stand point of okay,
you don't need a whole new roof, but you do

(06:03):
need some repair work done.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Is that covered?

Speaker 3 (06:07):
It is covered? However, sometimes you have a deductible. Most
times we all have a deductible on our policies. So
a lot of time the adjuster will come out and say, hey,
we see you have damage. This is what we'll cover,
you know, and they'll cover, say, six hundred dollars of

(06:30):
you know, a repair damage, whatever have you. And they
have a say they have a deductible of one thousand dollars. Yeah,
so with that being said, they're not going to cover
that repair. But you know, with your larger repairs, say
it's a thirty five hundred dollars repair and you have
a deductible of a thousand, you know, yes, they'll cover

(06:53):
twenty five hundred dollars. You cover that deductible.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
And we've always heard that with insurance companies, not even
so much about the size of the payout, but the
frequency of the payout, and that they will cancel people's
policies just because they have too many claims. They're claim happy,
they think absolutely.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
So that's why we always like to say, hey, let
us come out first and let us take a look,
right because like you said, there is not everybody is
like this, but there are some who are claim happy
and and they're just nope, nope, nope. You know, they're
just they're shutting them down left and right. So that

(07:33):
we just like to come out take a look. We're
gonna we're on your side. You know, we're not out
there to get every like you said, we do repairs.
We don't have to get a full roof every single time.
We're not out there to do that. We're out here,
We're honest. We're gonna let you know, yeah you got
some damage, there's a there's a good cause for you
to call them out, have an adjuster, come out, and

(07:55):
you know, with that being said, we're happy to come
out and kind of be your advocate because like you said,
they don't always want to you know, cover these repair,
cover a roof replacement. But that's you know, that's why
we like to be out there with the adjuster. We're
going to that for you. Hey, take a look at this,

(08:17):
take a look at this, this is what I'm seeing
because they know the homeowner isn't going to get on
top of that roof with them or you know, look
at these photos or know even what they're looking for,
right exactly. So you know, we're we're there to help
help you, advocate for you, and you know, just to
be a be a good buffer between homeowner and adjuster.

(08:40):
And we're here to help. So you know, whenever we say, hey, yep,
give them a call, we always like to be there
to help advocate for you when that adjuster comes.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Okay, yeah, and I guess what it's all said and
done is up to the adjuster, right, but you can
put a little pressure on there and show the evidence.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
I guess exactly exactly. And that's that is exactly what
we will do. Like you said, we're going about, we're
going about for you. We take all kinds of photos.
We go inside the attics and show, hey, this is
where damage was, this is where the leak is, all
sorts of things like that. You know, there are different
things that they're looking for in reports and things along

(09:20):
those lines. They're looking for impacts, they're looking for or
when I say impacts, how many times say hail hit
in a certain area of your roofs. They're counting those
those hits. They're counting the times that shingles have folded
back and in that area as well. So we are
we we know what they're looking for. And you know,

(09:42):
if we think it's just cause we're there for you
to help you.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
So hypothetical scenario here summer. Sure, you we have a hailstorm,
you don't notice the media impacts the damage. Maybe maybe
let's just say it's three months later, suddenly you see
that staying on the roof yep, And you guys go out,
you take a look, and you determine that, yeah, wow,

(10:07):
you had some damage. And I guess you can kind
of get a feel for maybe how long ago that one. Well,
obviously it was a hail story, and you know we
haven't had one in three months. It's you know, you
got this damage at least three months ago. But exactly so,
now you get the insurance company involved, is there a
scenario where they say, well, yeah, but that was three
months ago, you should have taken care of it.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
Generally?

Speaker 2 (10:32):
No, okay, good, because here's a homeowner. Until you see
the evidence, how you're.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Gonna know, right, exactly exactly, because you don't I mean,
you don't really know until you see it. And so
we get a super hard rain obviously when the hail,
when it's hailing it, we are generally having bad weather.
But water doesn't you know, it just water travels in
the wildest ways. So yeah, we're there for you. And no,

(10:58):
the insurance should not get you any pushbacks if it warrants,
you know, if there were enough impacts and things of
that nature. It can't just be one two hail hits
and oh yeah you need a brand new room. They yeah,
that is when they would give us some pushback. No,

(11:19):
it's not warranted. We'll do a repair in this area,
things of that nature. And it may not even be
from the haill why it's leaking. So there's a there
are a multitude of different scenarios and whatnot that could happen.
But time wise, no, it's you know, three months, six months.

(11:39):
They shouldn't give you any pushback on that.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
No, sir, Okay, good to know, and I listen, I'll
talk about insurance companies like they're had to rob you,
and many of them do very you know, good work.
They're upstanding, absolutely, but as a homeowner. You know, it
gets frustrating because you're paying those premiums every year and
you expect not to get any hashole right, but the
noise work that way.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Of course, you're exactly right, And you know, just navigating
an insurance claim or anything along those lines can be
really confusing if you've never done it before and you're like,
I don't know what to do. I'm not sure you know,
so that we do this often. We do it with
a multitude of different insurance carriers too, so we are

(12:21):
very familiar with the process and how each carrier kind
of handles different scenarios and documentation and things of that nature.
So you know, we're very familiar with the process, even
though it can be so unfamiliar to homeowners. So that's
why we were here along the whole way.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
And I know, I'm sure it varies from insurer to
ensure summer, but do you find when you work with
these insurance companies that they pretty much they have kind
of an algorithm. I mean, Okay, we have to have
this much damage or this much of the roof with
an issue before we'll say yeah, we'll will accept a
claim for a roof replacement, or is that does that

(13:03):
Does that vary from situation to situation? Uh?

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Not necessarily, You're you're right, you know, they are looking
for a certain amount of you know, impacts damage in
a in a I guess like a square okay area
ten by ten square area of your roof, you know,
and it's if they see, you know, more significant on
the front than on the back. You know, it really

(13:30):
just depends on the amount, you know, that's what it is.
And that square area on the front, on the back,
on the side, they're looking, they're evaluating the whole thing.
So but they're generally all the.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Same, okay.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Well, So again the point being you'll be there to
advocate for the homeowner with the ad shows up, so
you don't have to feel like you're on your own
with this thing.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
And because again you don't have.

Speaker 2 (13:55):

getting or really straight answers. So that's that's that's a

We get started this morning with my friend and hopefully
soon to be yours because he's a really nice guy,
Russ Barkesy from Finishing Touch, the Finishing Touch Teem. Hey buddy,
how are you?

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Man?

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Hey Gary? How you doing good to be here?

Speaker 2 (17:18):
I'm doing good, doing good. Still still trying to recover
from you know, Thanksgiving and all that. It was more
than a week ago, I know, but I'm still trying
to recover. Oh, you and me both so a big time.

Speaker 6 (17:28):
Absolutely yeah, we I think we were eating leftovers for
the last three days at least so hours.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Made it through about the Carolina Clemson gin Is that right,
And that's when we finally finally posshed the rest of them. Yeah,
go cocks man, hey, right, you know hey, and we
got a chance to show off our newly painted from
the family. Yes, thank you for yes, and we want
to talk about that today. The man you don't want

(17:57):
to talk about you during the week on Columbia's Morning News.
I almost hesitate sometimes to call it painting. It's painting,
but it's I mean, it's it's a lot more than
just coming in. And as I always say, if you
hired somebody to come in and slap a code of
paint up on another code of paint in your house,
well you just got ribbed.

Speaker 6 (18:14):
Off pretty much pretty much. It's there's just such a
big difference between professional painting and you know, amateur painting,
I guess is what you refer to it, as you know.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
And again it's just the.

Speaker 6 (18:29):
We've heard it a million times Gary, right, everybody can paint, Okay,
I can't tell you how many times we I'll go
do an estimate, for example, and a customer will tell me, well,
I enjoy painting or I can I can do I
can paint myself right, but I can't get these high areas.
So I just want you guys to maybe focus on

(18:49):
this foyer area. And I'm going to do this area
right ninety percent of the time. Gary, by the time
we're done with it, they normally have us go right
ahead and do it. They were going to do anyway
because they see the difference, you know, And there just is.
And it's all in the preparation work and in the
products that you use. You can't skimp on on products whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
But I tell you you, you buy a gallon of
bad paint, you have a bad experience.

Speaker 6 (19:15):
You'll know it. You'll absolutely know it. It's uh, you know,
we call it like a cheap builder grade type type
flat paint, right. Everybody knows about it. It's the stuff
where you you go to wipe a handprint off and
it takes the paint off with it type paint.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Right.

Speaker 6 (19:30):
So we don't use anything like that ever. We use
all mainly Share Williams products. That's what we use, don't
get me wrong. Each you know, Benjamin Moore, whether it's
Bear Sherwin Williams. Each of them have good, very good products,
and they all have not so good products right.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
At their own levels.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
They do they do.

Speaker 6 (19:50):
One of the reasons that we do go with Share Williams,
I should touch on this is the fact that they
they have such a great guarantee with their product. They
have into visual sales reps that that service our our account,
our company. Okay, and anything whatsoever, any any sort of
warranty issue or anything that happens with the paint, they

(20:11):
stand behind it one hundred percent. That's a huge deal.
When you're talking about you know, uh an exterior or
you know, we we do a lot of tilt up precast,
tilt up buildings, concrete okay, okay, and these paint systems
have they have to work and they have to last.
So it's it is a good it's a good feeling
to have those guys you know, on your side, on

(20:33):
your team and have your back when when.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
It comes to these uh these things. It doesn't have
it very often, but.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
What sort of things can go wrong with paint.

Speaker 6 (20:41):
Right, so, uh, it really just depends. So for example,
if you're painting concrete, if you if if the block
hasn't cured out enough, and there's there's efflorescence within the
concrete itself, it'll come through the paint and you'll have
have uh you know, you know, chalkiness, and and it'll

(21:04):
it'll foul, is what will happen. So, you know, there's
there's not a whole lot of things that that necessarily happens.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (21:11):
Usually it's user user error when that does happen. But uh,
there have been times where uh, paint hasn't cured out
correctly right, so it might stay a little tacky, or
in the industry we call it flashing, where when you
look down the side of it, you see like all
the spots everywhere, correct, you know, things like that.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
You know, that's more of a function of the pain
itself or the process. It can be both the paint
or the paint. It can be both, it really can.
The flashing is generally a user a user issue. What's
going on there?

Speaker 1 (21:45):
What causes that uh improper priming. So when you when
you have a.

Speaker 6 (21:51):
Drywall spot on your wall, let's say, okay, and you
need to touch it up. We what we do is
we do a two step process. Okay, Uh, A lot
of people go ahead and throw their wallpaint right over
the top of that drywall patch.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
You can't do that. You're going to have a flash
mark there. Okay.

Speaker 6 (22:06):
You have to prime it with an actual drywall primer first,
and then what we like to do is we like
to spot prime it again with the actual finish paint
and then paint the wall. Okay, when you do it
that way, you don't see the flash marks whatsoever. It
hides it pretty darn well, is what it does. And
you know, and speaking on that, between flats and eggshells,

(22:29):
I get this all the time.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (22:31):
Eggshells are very difficult to touch up because of the
sheene that you have with it. Okay, so every time
you're putting a coat of paint on there, Gary, you're
building up that sheen, all right, So when you do
look down the side of it, you see a flash
mark there. So you know, sometimes it's just a preference
thing and people want to see that sheen. They like
to have that little bit of a sheine there. But

(22:53):
a flat goes a long ways because if you go
with a very good quality flat, it touches up great.
So a year down the road, you could walk around
literally with a paper toweled napkin, okay, and top of
a can and dab it and touch it up, and
it's going to blend in a whole heck of a
lot better than an eggshell would. So you get a
lot longer out of your paint job that way.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
So are there I know your process having witness at firsthand.
I mean, you guys are going to come in whatever's
up on that wall, you're standing it down, correct, You're
you know, fixing any imperfections in the sheet rock. Absolutely,
but you know, for just a tip for those of
us who say, yeah, I want to do it myself,
are there certain you got like I said, you got flat,
you got eggshll, you've got.

Speaker 6 (23:36):
Satin, satin, you have satases, semi glosses, my glosses.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
So what are the rules for okay? If and how
do you know what this this pain is you're getting
ready to put this other paint on top? What works
and what doesn't? Yeah, so generally it doesn't matter when
it comes to the sheen. Okay, you can go over
a flat with an eggshell, an eggshell with a flat,
None of that really matters so much. So what does

(24:00):
matter is if you're going over an oil based paint
with a latex. Okay, that's where you're gonna have issues.
You can never put a latex over an oil. You
just can't.

Speaker 6 (24:12):
Now, you can put an oil base over a latex,
but you can't put a latex over an oil. It'll
peel right off. How many times have you seen where
you know, a door frame or a piece of base
board just peels right off with your nail, super easy,
just flakes right off right right.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (24:28):
Generally that's because they put a latex over an oil,
is what happens, and they didn't bond primeate first. So
take Shandon for example, older homes. There a lot of
oil based paint on the trim in those homes. Okay,
but they don't want to go back with an oil
because it smells. It stinks, and when you touch things up,
you got that smell in your house for a couple

(24:49):
of days, right, So nobody likes that, so they want
to convert to a latex trim paint. Let's say, So,
what we have to do is obviously do all of
our preparation work thoroughly, sanding everything down. We go a
step further. We take wood fillers and bondos and fill
any little nicks and gaps in your trim, Okay, just
to make it look better, just to go the extra mile, Okay,

(25:10):
we calk any gaps, and then we would bond prime
the trim with a universal bonding primer so that we
can put a latex paint over the top of it
and it'll all adhere and bond to it correctly.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Right.

Speaker 6 (25:24):
So it's an extra step, you know, because you have
to prime everything, but it's well worth it in the
long run to not have to continue to use oil
based paint, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Well, I was going to ask you, what if most
people use these days? Apparently it's not oil base.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
It's not.

Speaker 6 (25:36):
It's really now. Oil base is really kind of going away.
Matter of fact, I think it's legal in several states
right now. I know New York.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
They don't even sell oil based paint up there any longer. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (25:46):
Yeah, kind of a funny story. My uncle was doing
a project up in upstate New York where he lives,
and he couldn't get a oil base paint. And we
were going up there for a trip to see some family,
and I brought a gallon. I smuggled a gallon in
for them. Don't don't tell anybody. So, yeah, it's uh

(26:09):
not easy.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Is that? Is that a hell?

Speaker 6 (26:10):
Is that a health thing? Yeah, it's something to do
with the E p A. I mean, it's it's it's
all about the VOCs, right, they're there. That's the that's
the the chemical that you're smelling that gives you a headache. Okay,
that's what it is. And so now everything's going green.
We use a lot of green different paints. We use
zero VOC paints constantly, almost almost exclusively really when we're working.

(26:33):
So when we're painting a room, you don't even know
we're painting in that room. You can't even smell it.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
I was going to ask you about that. I noticed that.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
Yeah, it's a it's a big plus, especially when we're
working working in doctors offices, hospitals things like that. Sure,
you know you got to be conscious that kind of stuff. So,
uh but but yeah, they uh, they have a whole
line of zero VOC paints that we use all the time,
and uh and they work well, they work great.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
They really do.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
There was something I was going to ask you, kind
of a you know, just a tip for folks listening. Yeah,
and dog gone if you just I just lost it. Well,
there's so much to it. Yeah, come back, you know,
there's so much to it.

Speaker 6 (27:14):
But but I mean, these are the differences, right, This
is where our expertise come into play. We know, you know,
painting in and out, everything about it, you know, all
the different.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
You've been doing this now for well you've been doing
it for a long time. But oh you've been in
business with Finishing Touch Team for almost what twenty three years?
Twenty three years, Gary, right, twenty three years right here
in Columbia. Yeah, I'm a second generation painter. Actually, my
father was a painter. His father was a plaster drywall
finisher is what he was. So it's kind of kind
of in our blood per se, you know. But oh,

(27:46):
I was going to work with my dad when I
was seven eight years old, you know, sanding and picking up. Absolutely,
he would reward me. He'd take me to Toys r
Usta to get something.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
At the end of the day. That was that was
my very payment.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Very nice. You didn't have to pay taxes on it, no, no, no,
Uncle Sam. Now, something that we have touched on from
time to time. But another part of your business is
cabinet work.

Speaker 6 (28:13):
Correct, Absolutely a good part of it actually, Gary, We
it's one of our specialties, is what we do. We
probably finish two to three sets of cabinets in our
in our shop per week.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
I'd say, so.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
You'd actually you take the doors and all off and
we do those you bring back to the shop, we do. Yeah,
everything else is done on site, Yeah right.

Speaker 6 (28:33):
Yeah, everything. All your doors are numbered, so they go
back in the exact same spots that we took them
off in. Okay, because if you don't do that and
you just mix them up randomly, even though it's the
same sized door, it's not and it's not going to
fit right, it's gonna be hinged bound, something's going to happen.
So we number all the doors before we take them off,
and then we bring them to our shop and do
the preparation of painting there.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
So so that begs the question, why not just do
the doors on site too with the rest of the cabinets.
What's the difference.

Speaker 6 (29:01):
Well, because it's not a controlled environment, right, So when
we bring them to our shop, we're preparing for doing
all of our preparation work and our painting and a
spray booth okay, with ventilation systems and you know, a
draft system. Okay, so it sucks all the any dust
that's in the air, you know, just any contaminants that

(29:23):
are that are just floating around. Gets rid of all that,
and it makes a big, big difference in the finish
of the cabinets. So when you run your hand across it,
it should be smooth as glass.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Right, smooth as a baby. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (29:33):
Correct, So if you if you do them on site,
let's say all the doors, or I've seen a lot
of people try to do them in their garage, which
is a big mistake because there's just so much dust
in a garage, right, you can tell the difference. You
put your hand across it, and there's all sorts of
little bumps and you know, little objects that's stuck into
the pain as it was carrying.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
So that's that's Obviously.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
You can't take all the cabinets and take them back
to the shop, but I guess if you could, you would, right.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (30:00):
For for an existing repaint like that, all the boxing
has to be done obviously on site, but uh, it's
still we try to control it as much as possible.
After we sand, we tack cloth everything down to get
rid of any sort of dust on the on the
cabinet whatsoever before we do any sort of painting whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
And I guess when you walk into a kitchen, it's
what you see are the cabinet doors.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
It makes it, it is that's what you know. People.

Speaker 6 (30:25):
You know, you've heard the expression people eat with their
eyes right, so they it's a it's a big focal
point in a kitchen.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
Uh, anytime I walk into a kitchen, it's the first
thing I look at our countertops and in cabinetry. Yeh,
that makes a big difference, you know. It's it's such
a cool thing too, because you you get so much
bang for your buck painting your cabinets versus just replacing them,
replacing huge pain well and a lot very costly, very costly.
Painting them is is a fraction of the cost.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (30:57):
And speaking of costs, we're actually offering a twenty percent
off on any sort of cabinet painting till the first
of the year. Oh really, absolutely so, now's a really
really good time to get your kitchen cabinets done, or
bathroom vanity even, or maybe an island in your kitchen. Okay,
we do built ins all the time, you know, bookshelves

(31:19):
on either side of a fireplace, do all sorts of
cabinetry like that. And we're offering twenty percent off right
now to the first.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Of the year.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
What's a turnaround time on something like da russ because
you heard yeah, holiday season at all.

Speaker 6 (31:31):
And yeah, I just got this question yesterday actually, So basically,
if we pick up your we'd like to schedule it
on a Monday, okay, So we like to remove all
the doors on a Monday, and typically typically speaking, we're
reinstalling your doors the following Monday.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (31:46):
That gives it enough time for the doors to cure,
the pain to cure so that we can transport the
doors again back to your house and install them without
any blemishes or you know, problems whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
With the paint.

Speaker 6 (31:58):
Okay, Yeah, so off through the end of the year
twenty percent off, Gary, Yep, it's a huge savings right
now till the first of the year. You know, you
can set up an appointment on the website Finishing Touch

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Mister Electric. Jeremy Holiday, Good morning sir. How are you good?
To see you Gary doing great? We want to talk
about well, keeping safe today. That's what you don't really
when we talk about electricity. A lot of what we
talk about is keeping safe, right, That's right. A lot
of things can go wrong, especially if you try to
go it on your own. But today, keeping safe as

(35:49):
far as smoke detectors are concerned. Yes, all right, you're
an electrician. You know the issues that can come up.
And I don't know what the stats are on this, Jeremy,
but you know when there's a when there's a fire
and something happens and something catches. Wow, I'm guessing that
a fair amount of time there's some sort of an

(36:10):
electrical issue that's caused that. Well, it could be any
kind of issue, you know, somebody can be smoking in
bed or whatever. Right, but but but certainly electricity, you
can can can be a chief contributor to Yes, electricity.

Speaker 8 (36:23):
You want you want the you want a good installation,
You want your electrical to be functioning properly.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
You want all the safety devices in place.

Speaker 8 (36:31):
But on top of that, smoke detectors that are going
to protect you from fires that are caused uh by
other things in the home.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
You know, and we're just talking about play old regular
you know, sticking up on the wall. Put a cold
better than a smoke detector, right, Well there? Or do
we need something more or are there better things available? Yes?

Speaker 8 (36:48):
Yes, when it comes to picking out the right smoke
detector for your needs, uh, it's better to go with
one that's uh, you know, been approved by testing laboratory.
You recognize things, that's right, you listed you want to
you know, you have things like ten year batteries now
and smoke alarms.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
What's more, it's more irritating waking up on a Saturday
morning because there's this deep.

Speaker 8 (37:15):
Under chain the battery to get your ladder out and
get up there and deal with something that you may
not be familiar with that I get it put back
up properly?

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Is it going to fall? You know? Wh I lived
in a house one time. We live in a home
that the one in the room over. We had a
huge room over, and it was they placed it up high.
But the only you get to it was to have
to place a ladder on the steps to get right. Genius.
But anyway, thankful I have to deal with that problem anymore.

(37:45):
But so it got ten year batteries and I did
not know that. Yes, now is that can you buy
those first? What you may already have or is that
a special smoke detector that comes with a ten year battery?

Speaker 8 (37:56):
Well you can buy them, you can, Yes, you can
go to the local hardware store and purchase a ten
year battery smoke alarm absolutely the ones we do list now, Yeah,
we carry them on our vands. You know, mister electric
can come out and give you turnkey service. We have
smoke detectors, well, smoke alarms, that's the true terminology form

(38:17):
smoke alarms. And they're multi criteria, so they use different
technology to detect.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Smoke or fires.

Speaker 8 (38:26):
And those are the more they're they're the they're the
recommended type of smoke alarm to give you a better
response rate, so it's going to give you less nuisance alarms.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
But they also have a ten year battery. So you know,
I feel dumb because I thought I smoke alarms of
smoke alarm, but apparently that's not necessarily truth. No.

Speaker 8 (38:47):
They they've advanced, like everything else, you know, so quick
to change the technology they have the way they detect
smoke or fire. There's a photo electric and I and
eization technology and what that does is it's uh detecting
if it's an open flame or a smoldering fire.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Really yep.

Speaker 8 (39:08):
And they have uh, you know, little micro chips in
them now that can can.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Can check double check.

Speaker 8 (39:15):
Itself and make sure, hey, is this really something that
I need to be alarming about?

Speaker 2 (39:21):
And uh is there one particular type or one that
has particular functions, or even a brand for that matter,
that that you and your experience have found is the
best to have if.

Speaker 8 (39:31):
The one we like, you know, it's a matter of opinion.
But the one that we install actually was on consumer
reports for being a very good uh smoke smoke alarm,
and it's made by a company called you know.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
U s I U s I.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
You know, I'm not here for us I, but you
to say that is just what you like? Yeah, I did. Okay, Now,
what's what's the cost of one of these things? You know,
when we get to cost, I don't have them in
the top of my head. Uh, I'm sorry. I mean,
is it that that much more expensive than say the
one you just go pick up at Walmart or something.

Speaker 8 (40:13):
They're a little more spendye for the for the alarm itself.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
You know, there's it's it.

Speaker 8 (40:20):
It's a variety of different prices for different smoke alarms
of Uh. As far as what we purchase them for,
I don't. I don't have that information.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
But what we're not talking about one hundreds hundred of dollars? No,
is there When it comes to where these alarms are
located in the home. I mean, is there a science
to that or is it just wherever the build or
put it when they build the house. There is a
science to it.

Speaker 8 (40:49):
They're they're you know, the way smoke flows through your home,
the waste, the way smoke rises in certain uh circumstances.
You know, if you if you put a smoke detector
or smoke alarm, if you want to say smoke detective, smoke.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Alarm next smoke detector, anyway next to a.

Speaker 8 (41:06):
Vent, you know that's moving air, you may have problems.
So there's a distance you should be away from those
areas air intakes returns. Uh, you should if ceiling fans,
exhaust fans, bathrooms, you need to be a certain distance
away from different areas just based on the environment that
they're going to be exposed to to not confuse them. Right, So, Uh,

(41:33):
they need to be certain heights.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
They're always up high. Yeah, there's a reason for that.
I guess that's right.

Speaker 8 (41:39):
So if if you have a really high vaulted ceiling,
you may wonder why they put a smoke detector so
far up there you can't get to it. But there's
a reason for that, and it's normally because that smoke
is going to rise to the ceiling before it starts
filling up the house, and so it'll be running across
the top of the ceiling. You know, they always tell

(41:59):
you to get down on the floor and crawl out
of a fire, so you can hopefully stay out of
the smoke, because that's the clearest areas, closer to the floor.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
So the ceiling is the most.

Speaker 8 (42:12):
Contaminated area with smoke, and so that's why they put
them in the highest in the highest points.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
Of the home, because that's where the smoke's gonna go.
Is there a rule as to how many you need
to have at a home? I guess based on the
square footage of the home. Is there a good rule
of thumb for that? Yeah, it's a you know, every
thirty you have a two story house, you're gonna need
one up and down. Yeah, one on every level.

Speaker 8 (42:34):
A smoke detector in every bedroom, a smoke detector outside
the vicinity of every bedroom. So a certain footage radius, yes,
and then you know common areas. If I remember correctly,
the radius is thirty foot. So if you have a
smoke detector down there and the area is greater than
thirty foot, now, you need to outside that radius, you

(42:54):
need to add another one.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Well, let's say, I don't know, let's say a two
thousand square foot home. They're all laid out differently, of course,
maybe a different number of rooms and such. But I mean,
how many smoke detectors are we alarms are we talking
about in your average two thousand square foot home? You know,
I'd say about six or seven? Really that many? Oh yeah,
and I'm going to guess that most people don't have
that many. No, No, I know, I don't. Nope.

Speaker 8 (43:19):
That's the code, like we talked about before on the show,
is updated every three years and they find you know,
you know, they take data and they find out, you know,
you want one in multiple in multiple locations because you
also want them to be interconnected. And what that does
is if a fire happens on one side of the
house and you're on the other side of the house,

(43:41):
all those smoke detectors are going to go off. Rather
than the smoke detector getting to where the one rather
than the smoke getting to the one smoke alarm that
you have in the.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Home, half of the house could be a blaze at
that point. You see what I'm saying. Yeah, And how
how does that work that they're interconnected? Is that through
it app or something or the wire? How does that work?

Speaker 8 (44:03):
The best system is a hard wired system, and there's
a communication wire that runs in between them, all of them,
and they're and and they communicate with each other.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
So when one goes off, they're all going to go off.
Give you a better response time?

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Okay, yeah, so more than likely. Unless your home was
just built in the last year or two three, maybe,
then chances are probably pretty good that at least a code.
You don't have enough of these in your home right now? Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Wow? Who knew?

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Well, you know, that's why we do the safety check.
That's one of the reason let's talk about that.

Speaker 8 (44:41):
Yes, so we go, when we come out to your house,
we'll do a safety check on the electrical system and
give you an idea how you can make your system
safer because of the all all the new safety devices
that we have coming out that make your electrical system
a lot safer for you. And h you know, that's
one of the most dangerous systems in your house. I

(45:03):
put that next to gas. You know, is electricity flowing
through your walls everywhere throughout your home? And you want
to make sure it's maintained properly and that you have
all the safety devices in place that can help protect you.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
I'm just gonna bet that every time you do one
of these things, it's a real eye opener for the
home or business owner. It enlightens them a great deal,
really does Wow. While we're on the topic of CO
two detectors, also something yes, so you ought to have yes,
best placement for those? And we have one in our

(45:39):
bedroom because it's like, okay, we would seem that that
would be you know, if you were asleep, that's when
you really of course it's odorless, right, see too is odorless?
So right silent killer? Yeah, I guess maybe multiple CO
two detectors in a home. Two would be the best idea.

Speaker 8 (45:53):
Yeah, you definitely want one on every level. Okay, if
you have a garage it's attached to your home, and
you don't have any gas on your home, you still
want to have COO detectors on every level. One on
every level at least minimum, and then one where that
door accesses the house.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
From the garage on the garage. That makes sense.

Speaker 8 (46:14):
Yeah, yeah, so that's just for if you leave left
left your car running and the garage door shut. You
got you know, carbon monoxide entering into the home.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
Exact and so uh.

Speaker 8 (46:24):
And then if you have gas on the home, you
definitely want to have your carbon monoxide detectors.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
The ones the brand we install, uh.

Speaker 8 (46:34):
Like I said, uh, they have we have a three
in one that detects smoke, fire, and carbon.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
Well that we can do it all in one unit.

Speaker 8 (46:45):
And yeah, so uh, multi criteria type are the best ones, man.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
And the ones we install have a ten year battery
and so u. And then when we talk about the cost.

Speaker 8 (46:57):
Of them, you know, it's a fair price for everybody,
and especially when you consider the statistics that you find.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
The alternative not having them.

Speaker 8 (47:08):
Yeah, if you go to the National Fire Protection Association website,
you can get a lot of information on there.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
I think it is if I remember.

Speaker 8 (47:18):
Correctly, three of five fire deaths happen in homes with
either no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Right, yeah, year about that all the time.

Speaker 8 (47:27):
Unfortunately, you should be testing your functioning breakers once a
month too, Right, Well, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Who all does that either?

Speaker 1 (47:33):
Well, how do you do that?

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Just well, flipflamont mean there's a test button on them.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
I'm not sure I even knew that.

Speaker 8 (47:41):
Yeah, you might not have any Gary, I need to
come to your house and.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
Check it out.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
This is something you guys do at mister elector. Yeah,
we installed that.

Speaker 8 (47:49):
We can put ground fault breakers in so you don't
have to have the receptacles with the reset button on them.
Sometimes they're convenient in certain areas so you don't have
to go all the way back to the panel to
re at it. Or arc fault breakers or dual function breakers,
which had you know, an added protection to your home,
your electrical system, if you if your home's older than

(48:11):
you know, twenty years.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
So just out of curiosity here, if if you went
into a situation and you know, the first thing, I know,
every time you guys show up, you're always doing a
safety check anyway, Yes, but for somebody who's home you've
never been to, or business for that matter, that's one
of the things you most certainly do. So let's say
you're in a situation you look at a breaker box.
You know, we should probably upgrade this box. I mean,

(48:36):
what kind of cost or we are we talking about
for your average home, the average number of breakers whatever,
that is in actually upgrading all those and bring them
up to the proper safety standards for older homes. I mean,
what are we looking at here ballpark?

Speaker 8 (48:51):
Yeah, so on an average, you're probably looking at you know, six.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Six seven, you know.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
It's it's six or seven dollars. That's a great deal.

Speaker 8 (49:02):
Yes, you know, six to seven thousand, you know for
a service change eight thousands. Yeah, so you may, you know,
it depends on where you're what you're doing on the home.
So services can you know they can do about the
whole nine yards I'm talking about. Yeah, we're talking about moving,
putting the meter, you know, U replacing the meter, putting

(49:23):
a disconnect out there on the outside of the house.
A lot of houses don't have that. Now if you're
building a new home, it's required now running a new
service line because indoor panel has become a subpanel.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
You know.

Speaker 8 (49:36):
But I don't want to confuse customers. Just that's more
of what we do. That's something you don't want to
try really be doing on your own. You would definitely
call us out and let us evaluate.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Almost like a rewiring of a whole property.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
It sounds like, you know, not rewiring the house.

Speaker 8 (49:53):
You're just you're doing the service, so you're replacing the
service on the house, so you're moving the panel. If
it's not in a good location, you know, in the
bottom of a closet, they're moving it to a different
location inside the home. I always recommend having your panel
inside your home, just because of our temperature fluctuations.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Like we were discussing here, some one that wasn't but
you know, I guess it does happen.

Speaker 8 (50:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So it's you know, in some cases,
maybe maybe it's not economical for you to move it
inside the house.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
Uh. And that's fine, but just due to temperature control. Sure,
oh it makes sense. No humidity, uh, no condensation getting
in them. It seems like a real potential issue to
me to have a panel outside the house. Yeah, you know,
I mean, okay, it's got the metal door on it,
but still, I mean a lot of elements out there,

(50:41):
you don't Okay, fascinating, All right, Well, there's a Again
we're talking about going way out and doing all these things.
But typically you show up a safety check, ye know,
there may be a few things here or there need
to be done. So it's a good, it's a good
it's about your safety. Yeah, a safety check.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
Yeah, you should.

Speaker 8 (50:58):
You should definitely have somebody check out, you know, an
electrician check out your system every now and then to
just point out some things just for you know, if
there's anything there that you need to address that you
may not be aware of just because you're not an electrician. Sure,
it's a good thing to have electrician come out maybe
do a safety check on your house, you know, once

(51:19):
every couple years or so, and or every year for
that matter, but at least every two or three years.
