WARNING: Identify Drainage Problems Before Problems Occur

Julian Construction Urges Homeowners to Watch for Signs of Drainage Problems

LOS ANGELES, CA: Julian Construction Inc., a foundation construction and foundation repair company in Southern California, is warning the public and urging homeowners to be on the look-out for signs of drainage problems, as a potential and probable threat to the foundation of a home. Contact a foundation repair specialist if you notice potential signs of drainage problems.

According to Julian Construction, there are a number of indicators of drainage problems extant in a home. Some of the major ones the company listed are:

• Water pooling in a yard
• Rainwater accumulating on a rooftop
• Moisture seeping into a house
• Foundation cracks

Signs of any of the above indicate drainage problems. In addition to water damage resultant from the drainage problem, Julian Construction advises that foundation damage may also occur. A couple of the causes the company cited were:

• Expanding and contracting soil
• Water penetration of the existing walls

The company urges homeowners to be on the look-out for these signs and take steps to handle any observed.

Julian de la Torre, founder of the company, stated: “In order to protect your home, you need to know about these problems. The homeowners who we’ve visited to help them fix these problems, the majority did not know any of the warning signs or know who to call if they did recognize something was wrong. The solution is to find a specialist who knows what he is looking for to inspect your home.”

Julian Construction owns its own company and is built on a “no middlemen” model – no salesmen, no subcontractors. When you work with Julian Construction you get the principals of the company and workers of Julian Construction under your home. The result is the highest quality work at affordable prices.

Julian Construction Urges Foundation Safety Inspections of Homes

Foundation Repair Company Dedicated to Home Foundation Safety

LOS ANGELES, CA: Julian Construction Inc., a foundation repair and construction company in Southern California, is urging public awareness of foundation damage and the need to correct it. They are also issuing a checklist to assist in diagnosing foundation problems in homes.

According to Julian Construction, early identification and repair of foundation problems can prevent more extensive damage to a home, and in worst case scenarios can save building collapse.

The checklist reads in part:

1. Uneven or sloping floors
2. Wall cracks
3. Wall separation
4. Wall bulging
5. Wall rotation
6. Nail Popping
7. Floor and foundation cracks
8. Doors and windows that don’t open properly
9. Weak Soil
10. Leaning chimneys
11. Poor Soil Compaction
12. Excessive Soil Moisture
13. Soil Consolidation
14. Poor drainage and leaking roofs
15. Large trees and shrubs growing near the structure
16. Roads, streets and driveways that expand in the heat and push against foundation walls”

If any of the above are suspected, Julian Construction recommends a qualified foundation specialist come out to the home to assess the situation to determine if there are any underlying foundation problems already present or if it is indicated that a problem may develop.

Julian De La Torre, founder of the company, stated “I’ve seen what an unstable foundation can cause down the road for a home. Having foundation problems makes a home much less safe and very potentially dangerous in an earthquake. If a home has an unstable foundation it needs to be fixed at once for the safety of the home.”

Big Trees Inc. Announcing One Year Warranty For Installation

Tree Transplant Specialist Company Happy To Announce Warranty With Tree Care Instructions

SEATTLE, WA: Big Trees Inc. (http://www.bigtreesupply.com), tree transplant and installation specialists, are announcing a one year warranty on the installation of trees in a landscape. Some stipulations have been specified, and a Certified Arborist is available to adjudicate all aspects of the installation.

Big Trees, Inc. historically enjoys a 98% success rate on trees they install. They further guarantee the quality of their service by offering a one year warranty on trees they install in a landscape. To ensure that a tree does thrive in the environment it is placed in, all trees installed by Big Trees Inc. must have automated drip type irrigation or a BTI management approved irrigation system specific for watering the newly installed trees at the time of installation. Approved irrigation systems can be installed by Big Trees, Inc. at an additional charge. Of the 2% that do die, 90% of those are from improper watering practices.

The full list of particular information on the workings of the warranty can be found here: http://bigtreesupply.com/planting-service/warranty-info/

Ross Latham is the owner of Big Trees Inc., stated “All trees purchased from our nursery, or growing field, and installed by our crews are covered by a 1-year warranty. Anytime questions arise about installed trees, our office staff is ready to help and if necessary, dispatch our Certified Arborist to your site.”

“We see excellent results from most of our clients of the trees we’ve installed. For those few that go wrong for unforeseen reason we don’t want there to be any worry on the part of the homeowner. So we offer the warranty, to fully guarantee that the tree you are getting will look great in your yard and is going to thrive,” concluded Latham.

Big Trees Inc. is located in Snohomish, WA, in the Seattle area. The company is one of the largest tree nurseries in the Seattle area with over 120,000 trees available in over 300 varieties.

Big Trees Inc. Cautions Against Do-It-Yourself Large Tree Planting

Tree Transplanting Company and Nursery Gives Reasons to Seek Professional Service

SEATTLE, WA: Big Trees Inc. (http://www.bigtreesupply.com), a tree transplanting specialist company and nursery servicing the Seattle area, recently issued a public statement warning against homeowners installing large trees on their own without professional equipment or an experienced crew’s assistance.

The company warned that there are critical variables associated with a successful tree planting, including soil analysis, staking, correct fertilizing and planting height. They said that a tree planted and cared for correctly will thrive, but those that are not can suffer stress, reduced growth rate and ultimately fail.

According to Ross Latham, company founder, “Trees and their rootballs can be extremely heavy. Once the tree trunk diameter increases, the rootball weight increases exponentially and can weigh 1,000-5,000 lbs or more. Our crews carefully use special techniques and equipment to handle the trees while loading, transporting, unloading and getting them installed correctly.”

“There are always unique considerations when planting a large tree in any landscape. Considering tree varieties, equipment access, guying and mature dimensions are all part of a pre-planting landscape evaluation. Preventing future problems including building foundation issues, sidewalk buckling, roof and overhead wire conflicts should be assessed and will ensure a successful new tree planting. Bottom line, if it’s a large tree, a specialist should definitely be consulted for the safety of all.”

The company is one of the largest tree nurseries in the Seattle area with over 120,000 trees available in over 300 varieties.

Susan Mary Malone Gives Strong Caution to Up And Coming Writers

Developmental Editor Gives Pros and Cons To Learning The Rules Of Writing and Editing

DALLAS, TX: Developmental Editor Susan Mary Malone (http://www.maloneeditorial.com) recently issued a statement of strong caution to authors newly entering the field of traditional publishing, regarding writers who fail to learn the rules of composition and other basics of the writing process.

She stated: “First off, however, you must know the rules of composition and grammar. So, you study and learn, understand and use them. Once you’re familiar with them inside and out, then and only then can you begin to break rules effectively. And then, only for specific reasons. In other words, you must be able to justify to me (or another novel editor or agent) exactly why you broke this or that one, and what you sought to accomplish through it. Most manuscripts I see where the rules are broken, the writer doesn’t know he’s doing so. Plus, that excuse of: ‘Well, that famous author did this in his last book,’ begs the question: did it work? Did the author achieve a special effect by doing so, and can you tell me what that was? Or was it just sloppy writing?”

Ms Malone discusses in depth other notes of importance on the writing process and the “rules of writing.” They can be viewed here: http://www.maloneeditorial.com/blog/?p=143

With a BS in Political Science and minors in English and Journalism, columnist and journalist Susan Mary Malone has worked as an editor since 1993, Her client list includes NY Times Bestsellers, Essence Bestsellers and books featured in Publishers Weekly.

Julian Construction Warns Public: Check Credentials Of Contractor

Foundation Company Is Urging Home Owners to Take Steps To Verify Standing First

LOS ANGELES, CA: Julian Construction Inc. (http://www.julianconstruction.com), a foundation repair and foundation construction company in the Los Angeles area, is warning homeowners to seriously look at the credentials and identity of a foundation contractor, or any other contractor, before trusting them to work on their house.

Julian De La Torre, founder of the company, stated: “As a consumer, if you see a contractor that has no license number you should be concerned, and do further investigation, as this is a red flag. Also as a consumer you should note the license number itself. For example, our number starting with 788, is 10 years plus old. A license that starts with say 876, would be around about 4 years old. A license that starts with 918, would be only two years old and so on. This lets you know if the company has experience or is new to the business of construction.”

He further stated: “Some contractors just use a PO Box, a garage or a small office. The concern here is that it tends to indicate that they have not been in business long, or possibly that they are just paper contractors. So as a consumer, drive by the place of business and ask, does this look like a construction company? Check for a license and verify the number. Make sure they have been around a while.”

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Helps Fastener Company Obtain Tax Exemption

Company Highly Pleased At Receiving Sales Tax Exemption on The Purchase Of New Plane

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com), a professional tax firm in Northern California, has helped a wholesale fastener distributor company obtain a sales tax exemption on the purchase of a Cirrus airplane for use in traveling to business meetings in destinations across the US. The sales tax exemption was obtained from the California Board of Equalization on behalf of the company.

An executive of the company stated “We use the aircraft for visiting customers, vendors, going to trade shows, and visiting our sales manager in Wyoming. It's a lot more convenient flying yourself. Some of the destinations are much more difficult to get to via commercial airlines, especially when you would have to fly to a remote airport and then rent a car to do a long drive. Or worse, fly a commuter airline which is a lot more expensive. I can do in four hours what would take a day to do on commercial airline. I can go, do business, and then get back in one day where it would take one day just to get there by commercial airline.”

“Aero and Marine Tax Professionals held my hand and had patience. I did get upside down at the beginning, they had sent me a packet of information, and I had made a mistake, only copying one side of the packet of information they had sent me. Once they got me straightened out on that, I did do well and they caught a couple of my other errors. I would absolutely recommend Aero & Marine Tax Professionals! You can tell others that they just saved Jim Law at Ababa Bolt $60,000 on the purchase.”

Tom Alston, founder of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, said “It’s pretty much your safest option to call us if you are even considering buying an airplane. Many people don’t realize how many ways it can go wrong in obtaining a sales tax exemption on the purchase of an aircraft. Well, we know all the ways, and more importantly we know how to make it go right.”

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals shows purchasers how to avoid sales tax, specifically how to avoid aircraft tax and vessel tax in California and to make certain the full value of their next aircraft, vehicle or vessel goes into their pocket--not the government's. They have successfully filed hundreds of tax returns with the California State Board of Equalization. Mr. Alston has also published many articles on sales and use tax.

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Get Aircraft Tax Exemption for TV Production Company

TV Production Company Very Pleased With Sales Tax Exemption on Aircraft Purchase

SACRMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com) have assisted a TV production company in securing a sales tax exemption from the California Board of Equalization on the purchase of a PA-46-310P Malibu aircraft.

An executive from the company stated: “I'm in the TV production business, and I do a lot of TV production throughout the states of Nevada, Arizona, California, and New Mexico. The locations we film at are primarily places that commercial airlines just don't go to. We just couldn't do it in a commercial setting.”

“The experience with Aero & Marine Tax Pros was incredibly simple, professional, and most importantly, successful! Everything went smoothly, their staff was in constant communication and updating what I needed to do each month to get you the documentation. I would absolutely recommend Aero & Marine Tax Pros to others. I would actually make the argument that anyone that does not seek out and find these services is making a mistake, and then not specifically using Aero & Marine is making a secondary mistake. A lot of pilots think that there is only one way to get out of having to pay the California state taxes, and that is that you have to base your aircraft in another state for 12 months. They're not aware of this intra-state tax exemption route, none of the pilots are aware of this option. It's getting the word out that you don't have to leave your plane out of the state for a year.”

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals is a pre-eminent tax firm specializing in aircraft and vessel purchases. The company helps individuals and corporations avoid paying California sales and use taxes when buying an airplane or vessel. Their unique knowledge and expertise has resulted in regular referrals from attorneys and accountants throughout the nation.

Tom Alston, owner and founder of the company, stated “We want people to be aware of the consequences of dealing with the California Board of Equalization, because in many cases a person who may have been expecting a sales tax exemption finds they do not qualify. When a client follows our instructions to the letter, we can guarantee that sales tax exemption on the purchase of an aircraft.”

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Win Case For Tax Exemption On Jet

Real Estate Firm Gets Tax Exemption On Jet Thanks To Aero & Marine Tax Professionals

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com), a firm specializing in sales tax on aircraft and marine vessels in the state of California, recently helped a real estate agent and real estate development company obtain a sales tax exemption on a Cessna jet from the California Board Of Equalization, this most recent case that maintains their perfect record.

An executive from the real estate company stated: “The business use of the aircraft is to look for business opportunities outside of California in real estate and real estate development. Sometimes we would be looking at multiple properties over multiple days, and it would be problematic to run that around an airline schedule. The jet is fuel-efficient. The parts are readily available and Cessna has multiple service centers across the country. In working with Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, I always received calls back in a timely manner. They were professional, and very competent, very knowledgeable and very fast.”

Tom Alston, president of the company, stated: “Well we pride ourselves on efficiency. That is really the difference between when we go in on a case versus someone who doesn’t know this field, doesn’t have experience working with the California Board Of Equalization. We have, so we can be efficient at it, and that’s why our case record is perfect.”
