Good Guy Home Improvements

I have always loved construction, since the first house I built out of Lincoln Logs when I was about 5 years old. I grew up in a family of Electricians (Grandfather, Great Uncle, Dad, Brother, and Cousin). I worked some in the electrical field around the Dayton area, in GM plants, WPAF base, Chrysler, etc., but decided to take a different path as a General Contractor and I love it.

We don't take any money up front. You don't write the first check until your basement is completely framed up. Also if you need financing we offer it through Day Air Credit Union unsecured up to $25,000. 3. We use fire blocking foam on our fire blocking seams even though code doesn't require it. We don't just want to slow the spread of fire, we would rather it get starved from oxygen and go out.

My name is Joe Taulbee and I am the owner of Good Guy Home Improvements LLC. When choosing a contractor make sure they are Accredited Better Business Bureau members, check out their complaint history, if they have a couple complaints it doesn't mean they aren't professional, just make sure they resolved the complaints.

If you aren't doing the job yourself, hire an experienced painting contractor to do the job. Now, just because the painting contractor is in the phone book or running an ad in your local paper or magazine, doesn't mean that he or she is experienced. Make sure they are an Accredited Better Business Bureau member so you can check their record, ask for at least three references and ask for their certificate of liability insurance.

Caulk around the outside of your windows if needed, make sure the temperature is above 45 degrees so the caulk will can set up. Buy a new more energy efficient furnace or water heater and get a $500 tax credit at tax time. Turn down your furnace thermostat in the winter, and up in the summer when the central air is on.
