PCS, INC. NEWSLETTER "June 2011" (By: Harold Moreland)
SUMMER IS HERE! And now is the time to remodel or start an addition. PCS is available and ready-for-hire to accommodate any of your home projects, small or large. Don't forget about our handyman division that offers just about any small remodel or repair project on the interior or exterior of your home. Also, there is plenty time left to tackle any large remodeling project or that addition you've been putting on the back-burner. Or maybe your in the market for an outdoor deck, arbor, or cabana? PCS can design and construct an outdoor architecture to turn your backyard into an oasis at home! Save the money that vacationing costs and put it into your own private get-a-way right in your backyard. This will make that needed R&R easier to fit into your schedule as well as add value to your home. CURRENT PROJECT UPDATE: Our current projects include bathrooms, kitchens, whole-house restorations, and exterior restorations. We have numerous projects pending for 2011, so we've been getting prepared for this years workload. Please go to our "Current Projects" page to read more about our current projects. 2011 brings a lot of hope and continuous rebuilding efforts to our area. A new Mayor for New Orleans, a new President for Jefferson Parish, a great football team, and lots of anxious residents ready for change. BUILDING CODE UPDATE: "FEMA" keeps updating and changing the codes so fast it's hard to keep up. The "IBC" (International Building Code) is now what every structure and renovation has to abide by. A word or warning for the "DIY" (Do It Yourselfer). The "Home Depot" commercials are quick to say "You can do it, we can help", but they don't tell you that it's the law to get your work inspected and it MUST meet the "IBC". The "IBC" code book is about the size of the New Orleans phone book and has codes that are added and/or revised almost on a monthly basis. Even the Architects, Engineers, and Plan reviewers have a hard time keeping up. PCS makes it our business to know the codes by our continual affiliation and membership with the "Building and Trades Association", the "New Orleans Home Builders Association", the "New Orleans Better Business Bureau", and the "Jefferson Chamber of Commerce". Taking on small jobs like painting is definitely do-able, but if you have a renovation or structure to build, call on PCS to make sure it's done right. PCS NOW OFFERS FINANCING Many of our customers are experiencing great difficulty in getting their Road Home money. PCS, Inc. is offering financing that can help get your project underway while "the check is in the mail". Applying is very simple and funding is sometimes available within days! Allowing your storm-damaged property to sit to long can greatly increase the repair costs. So call our office today for more details and get on the road to recovery sooner. LAKEVIEW --- SAY "NO" TO MODULAR Good news!! Lakeview is coming back stronger and better than expected. Many of our clients in the Lakeview area are giving us great news that most of their neighbors have decided to return and restore their properties. Lakeview has always been a landmark of exceptional New Orleans architecture with thousands of historical homes. We are encouraging all homeowners who have less than 50% damage to restore their home vs. tearing it down. There are Modular look-a-likes trying to push their way into this landmark of a community. My opinion? -- To move out of one trailer into a larger one that resembles the real McCoy is almost blasphemy to the historical blood-line of the architecture that makes Lakeview what it is. It costs just about the same to restore most of the older homes as it does to tear them down and have a five or six-wide mobile home placed on your lot that will never be able to compare to what was destroyed, much less have the same re-sale value. Don't turn Lakeview into a large MOBILE HOME PARK!!! Compare and debate by allowing us to price-out your historical restoration first, then get a quote on a large mobile home look-a-like, you'll be surprised that we can usually restore for less than one of these quadruple-wide's cost and you will have an investment, not a depreciating trailer!!
Kindest Regards, Harold Moreland (PCS president/owner)
