"Scott tackled a project for me long distance...installing an AC unit in an old farmhouse for my sister. He did a great job in a difficult setting and even helped her by fixing a screen door. Very reasonable pricing. I will use him again!"

Gick Builders started business in March, 1979 as a framing contractor. Brothers Bob and Mike Gick, lifelong residents of Benton and Tippecanoe Counties, are the principals. In 1979, Bob and Mike formed their own company, primarily for remodeling and as framing subcontractors for other builders in Central Indiana. They framed over 400 homes in both Lafayette and Indianapolis areas, and worked on many multi - family housing projects. They served as project managers for over 66 multi - family units.\n\nIn addition, Gick Builders has done work on several commercial jobs such as BoJangles and Harrigan's Restaurants, the Lafayette Shrine Club and Paw Prints, Franks Nursery in Lafayette.

To date, they have completed 60 custom homes ranging in price from $75,000 to $500,000.\n\nWe believe that the craftsmanship that goes into your new home should be performed as if we were the ones making the mortgage payments. If the quality measures up to what we would expect in our homes, you can be sure that it will measure up for you as well. \n\nTo ensure that we complete our mission and achieve the best quality possible, Mike and / or Bob are always on the job, from start to finish. Bob and Mike have total control over the finished quality of their homes because they do all of the excavating, framing, siding, trim, wiring, painting, septics, concrete prep.\n\n\n\n\n

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

During the holidays, big box hardware stores sell many kinds of clips and hooks made specifically for hanging Christmas lights—including ridge clips, gutter clips, shingle clips, and mounted hooks. It’s best to avoid nails, staples, and screws since they can damage your roof.

Ensure you have a safe environment for them to work on, and there aren’t items such as logs, build-up of yard materials, missing or damaged shingles, and weak areas on the roof. Communicate any known electrical issues with contractors at the beginning of the project, and consider hiring an electrician to fix those. Finally, if you are attempting the project yourself, do so when there isn’t any rain, and you can safely get your footing on the roof using proper equipment, such as an extension ladder. Don’t attempt this alone, and have a helper nearby to assist.

While Christmas lights are a wonderful way to light up your home during the holiday season, they don’t have a long lifespan. Most incandescent Christmas light bulbs are designed to last between 1,000 and 1,500 hours—or about one to three holiday seasons. More durable LED bulbs should last about 10 times as long. 

If you don’t have a ladder, you may be able to use a light-hanging pole. If not, you’ll have to rent a bucket lift or other machinery to reach your roof. 

First of all, don’t shop for bargain lights—often, you’ll end up with a faulty or broken strand, full of dead bulbs or less-than-luminous brightness. Choose quality lights that will last you many years—LED lights have been known to last as long as 100,000 hours. Second, plan ahead and purchase lights for next year’s Christmas during this year’s post-holiday sales. Finally, have a vision and a plan—if you know the measurements of your home, including any windows, doors, and outside bushes you wish to light up, you should be able to only purchase the necessary lights and not more than you need.
