25 years of experience I can comfortably guarantee all roofing work. I offer the fortified method in complete roofing contracts AND in repair contracts. Fortified roofing method is preferred code in the state Florida and all coast lined states. The fortified method ensures homeowners that wind and water alike is 99.9% less likely to penetrat into your home. The goal is to offer greater workmanship at reasonable costs. Having a shielded roof protecting your home that will last is my working goal.

"Mr. Minton was very professional and up front about all the work that needed to be performed before he did anything. I have hired him for several projects around my home. Would recommend him to my family, friends, and church family. My employer also hired him for several projects at their home."

I found this business card at a restaurant and decided one more time to see if this person can help us without taking advantage of us. He went way out of his way by trying to understand what I needed. Because I did not know how to explained the right way.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A breaker won’t always trip if an outlet burns out. If the outlet is overloaded or has a short circuit, the breaker is designed to trip and discontinue power to the outlet. However, some wiring problems that can burn out an outlet may not cause the breaker to trip, so don’t rely on it as a signal that something is wrong.

Compared to amps, volts, and watts, ohms are a different kind of measurement, though also very common. Ohms show the resistance of materials like wiring: How much they impede the flow of electrons. The reason household wiring is usually copper or aluminum is that these materials are affordable and also have lower ohms, which means low resistance/high conductivity.

Wire color codes vary depending on the region. For instance, the United Kingdom has updated its wiring codes to match Europe's color system. The United States wiring color code is different, as is Australia's. Because the color code system isn’t universal, it’s essential to hire an experienced electrician to perform any electrical work to ensure it is done correctly.

A small sump pump running infrequently uses an average of 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month. The average cost for electricity is $0.171 per kWh. The size and use frequency affect how much electricity it uses. Sump pumps average one-third to one horsepower (hp) motors. One hp is equal to 745.7 watts. Watts multiplied by the time your pump is running divided by 1,000 equals your average kWh. Multiply kWh by your average cost of electricity. In areas with high rain or a marsh basin, the average cost can be as high as $15-$25 a month.

Single-pole light switches are the most common light switches on the market. Their simple features make them easy to install and use. For more powerful applications that require 30 or 40 amps, you may need to use a double-pole switch. Some homeowners may want multi-way switches like three-way or four-way switches to control a light fixture from opposing ends of the room.
