My name is Michael Cale, I am in the process of starting up my own business called Cale's Hammer N Nails: Property and Auto Services. The plan is to get enough clientele that my boys can help expand the business. Currently my oldest is helping me on jobs and gaining experience along the way. Im out of Afton, TN on the north side 8 minutes from I-81. Im willing to travel for my services and I feel my pricing is fair across the board if not better. Currently looking to work out of Greeneville, the Tri-Cities area, and Morristown. Can go further out if needed too. I also offer hauling with my pickup I have if someone needs materials just picked up and delivered also or if anyone needs moving help from home to home. I look forward to serving this area with quality you deserve at reasonable prices.
"I am extremely happy with AJ's service, start to finish. We initially reached out for an estimate at the beginning of 2015. A representative came to our house to explain all the different products as well as pricing and timing. I had reached out to 2 other companies before hand but was not comfortable their high pressure selling. AJ was very patient with us regarding our timing and budget. I received an estimate on the spot and was able to take my time to review and get back to them. We scheduled the work for May and was able to have 7 Windows removed and replaced in only a few hours. We are very impressed with the quick respond time, professionalism and quality of work including cleanup. We plan on using AJ to replace the remaining Windows as well as a sliding glass door in early 2016. "
"We liked Mike and his workers, everything we were told happened without a hitch. Roof looks great, all done at a reasonable price, we had many quotes and Weather Tamer came through for us, Thank you."
"Had a full replacement done. Damage was found to the leading boards across the entire front and half of the back. All repairs were done without extra charge. The crew was courteous, friendly, responsive and professional. Quote was slightly higher than one other company and nearly the same as a third quote in the area but the peace of mind that repairs were going to be made without extra charge was well worth it. Also includes a two year service for any issues. Sales person spent two hours in our home giving us the details before we signed the contract. I would strongly recommend."
Stainless steel and copper are the most durable and will probably last the longest, especially when you compare them to fabric awnings. Steel is the most popular if your budget isn’t a top priority, but some people prefer copper awnings over steel because they are lighter, which makes them easier to install. Aluminum offers a more budget-friendly metal awning option that is still attractive and offers some durability, especially compared to fabric.
Acrylic, polyester, and vinyl are common options. Choose based on durability, UV resistance, and style.
The longest-lasting awning materials include vinyl, polycarbonate, and polyester for their durability and cleanability. Other materials like canvas and metal can last a long time, but may wear out faster. The key to getting the longest life from your awning material is to maintain it properly by cleaning yearly, keeping debris from gathering on it, and protecting it during stormy weather or high winds by retracting it or moving it to a protected area.
Awnings are either fixed or retractable and can be paired with a variety of cover materials. Fixed awnings are a permanent outdoor feature of a building. These are highly durable and require ongoing maintenance. Once installed, the position of this awning cannot be changed.
Retractable awnings are more popular than fixed awnings since the cover can open and close. This allows homeowners to open and close the awning, depending on the weather. When not in use, it can be closed to allow for extra space.
Clean regularly with mild soap and water, and retract during severe weather to prevent damage.
