Make sure you read other customer's reviews and check contractor's previous projects pictures, get a detailed report about how they plan to prep your house for the painting, as holes, bad spots, etc., must be covered, all surfaces scraped and sanded. Get to know how many workers will be involved in the process and for how long. Also, get the entire process of preparation in writing, be certain about the grade of paint that will be used and you should always opt for premium quality paint as it will start bleeding through after a short time. 

Is crucial to use high-grade paint rather than save a few dollars and go for inferior quality, potential savings on material cost severely compromises the quality and longevity of your project. Although all paints look the same from the outside, a high-quality paint uses better ingredients and fewer fillers, which will help you get a long-lasting finish, better and longer protection with a better manufacturer’s warranty. On the other hand, low-quality paint will experience chalking, fading, peeling, and cracking not very long after completing the project. They will also not wash well and scruff easily.

Picking the right colors for your project could be a daunting task, however, it varies on the homeowner's likes and interests, and there’s no absolute formula to adhere to. Go through paint brochures that come up with new ideas on different color schemes. You can consult with major paint stores on what are the most popular colors. Go through house painting apps, which will give you a broad spectrum. Take suggestions from your painting contractor as he might be able to give you the safest options.

Preparations include washing outside, scraping, caulking, filling, sanding, priming, etc. Most professional painters also remove draperies, switch-plates, hardware, outside shutters, hose reels, or any temporary attachments before painting and then replace them afterward. Before the paint coat is applied, some even do wood trims and siding replacements. Indoor preparations may include covering, moving, caulking, sanding, priming, before applying finish coats, etc. Both inside and outside, precautions such as covering with plastic sheathing, using canvas drop cloths are mandatory.

A typical consultation will take about 30 minutes from start to finish. The estimator will visit your proposed project, when he comes to meet with you and do a tour around the entire area before preparing and presenting to you his final proposal, you can lay down your requirements and concerns before him, who will offer suggestions based on his experience to help you come up with the perfect plan for your painting project. Once these initial clarifications are taken care of, the estimator will prepare your proposal and mention details about all the services that need to be performed along with prices.

Professional painting services costs depend on the type of project, the scope of the project, if it is a big project, the number of coats required, the kind of paints being used, latex paints and enamel paints can be expensive, the painting pattern you choose matters. Specialty painting patterns such as textured painting or stencil painting are pricey compared to the other conventional painting patterns. The standard cost of hiring a painter ranges from $2 to $6 for each sq. ft. or $8 to $50 per hour. However, we recommend visiting our website and comparing the best rates offered by our service partners. As mentioned, the cost depends on a lot of factors.

Common problems you might face involve light bulbs, light switches, and light fixtures. Light bulbs usually flicker, blink or burn out at a high rate while usually a replacement does the trick, there could also be underlying severe problems like the light fixture, poor connection in the electrical circuit, or even trouble with the primary electrical wire connection. Other problems could involve frequent electrical surges and circuit breaker tripping.

Steam cleaning is a highly advanced cleaning method that involves exposing rugs, carpets, upholstery and other surfaces to steam or vapor heated up to pretty high temperatures. Normal water is converted to steam and your unclean materials or surfaces are exposed to a blast of that steam. The result is pristine surfaces and materials free from dust, dirt, grime, grease and molds. For steam cleaning your surfaces & materials, the given steps are followed: Firstly, the container is filled with clean water which is then heated up to very high temperatures through a heating element present inside the container. The water starts boiling and is soon converted to steam. The steam is made to pass through a nozzle attached with a cleaning device. Steam production will continue automatically until all water inside the container is exhausted.

When you are looking for a steam cleaning service provider, you must understand what ‘dry steam cleaning’ actually is and how it differs from ‘wet steam cleaning’. Dry steam cleaning involves the use of superheated water that converts into steam with little or no water remnant in it. A material or surface that is dry-steam cleaned will not be moist or wet after the cleanup. On the other hand, when a material or surface is wet-steam cleaned, the water content in the steam leaves the material or surface moist. Dry steam can reach the areas or folds of surfaces where wet steam cannot. Dry steam cleaning is preferred by many over wet steam cleaning as dry steam cleaning is mess-free. Dry steam is a potent cleaning agent as it can effectively obliterate grime and grease and also destroy pathogens, bacteria, mildew and mold.

Steam cleaning if used for cleaning your soiled and shabby carpets can indeed leave your carpets pristine clean.

The heated-up vapor can easily cause the dirt and debris trapped amid your carpet fibers to loosen out and get removed. The intense heat can disintegrate the bond that causes dirt, grease and stain to cling to the fibers of your carpets and rugs. Also, the heat from the vapor can destroy all bacteria, mold and pathogens lodged in between the fiber of your carpets and rugs. Carpet steam cleaning, in fact, paves the way for intensive cleaning where your carpets are thoroughly sterilized and are left clean to the deepest layers.

Steam cleaning of upholstery is a very effective cleaning method and can give your upholsteries a brand new-like look. All sorts of embedded stains, dirt and grease can be removed through steam cleaning. Allergens, bacteria, molds, dust mites etc too can be removed through steam cleaning. Professional steam cleaners will follow a few steps in order to steam clean your upholstery the perfect way vacuuming the upholstery, pre-treating the stubborn stains with a stain cleaner, pre-conditioning of the upholstery fabric, steam cleaning the upholstery and letting your upholstery to dry up

The cost of steam cleaning varies depending on several factors such as the number of materials or surfaces to be steam cleaned and the measurements they have. Secondly, your location and also the cleaning duration and frequency influence the cost of steam cleaning. Also, the condition of the material or surfaces to be steam cleaning is a determining factor when it comes to the cost of steam cleaning. Typically, the cost of steam cleaning ranges between $100 and $500. When you choose a steam cleaning service through Talk To Bruno you may ask the service provider for a quote prior to finalizing things with him.

Smart home makes use of technologies to make life easier for you. You can use your Smartphone, for instance, to control your home lighting, air conditioning, fridge, microwave, heating system and even windows and doors. To go a step further, automation makes it easy to control all your domestic devices and, importantly, use AI to save energy. For instance, so long as you are in a room the lights and AC will stay switched on but when you leave and do not return after a preset time then the lights and AC will switch off. Similarly, you could have smart security devices that will recognize people registered with the system and raise an alarm should a stranger enter the premises. Your AC, heating system and humidifier system could be programmed to provide a perfectly comfortable internal ambience. Lights could be brightened or dimmed according to the activity you are engaged in. You can program in advance when the microwave should switch on and switch off. You can use your Smartphone to remotely monitor your house and control devices such as switching on the AC ten minutes or so before you will return home. 

We do not directly provide any Smart Home services. We are a service platform and bring together users and service providers. We are involved to the extent of providing an information platform so that you know how to choose a service provider and we are engaged to provide assurance of integrity of services and to see you get a fair deal, you can browse categories or search for specific smart home service providers. You can get in touch with them, talk with them, ask for a quote and initiate the process of supply and installation. We vet each service provider and provide their details on our site so you know clearly what to expect.

Smart home automation is an umbrella term. For example, you can decide to go with lighting automation. This is one part of it. In such instance your service provider could possibly change the switches and provide a device with sensors and programming facility so that lighting can be switched off or output level adjusted automatically. You can “smarten” up your air conditioner for automatic adjustment of temperature to provide right comfort level or let you use your Smartphone to control it. You can have voice controlled smart home systems. Then there are smart systems with a centralized control unit and Smartphone app connectivity to control and program virtually all devices and appliances in your home including doors, windows, curtains and even the garden sprinklers.

Smart Homes are an ‘in’ thing now. Most people in the U.S are looking to convert their ordinary home into a smart home and that involves an installation of a wide variety of smart home systems that run on automation and advanced digital engineering.  The average cost of smart home services is around $5, 000 to $9, 000 for a house of 5 rooms including the plugs, lights, cameras, locks and thermostat. In most cases, people will pay around $1, 000 for each room when they are converting the room to a ‘smart’ room. When professional smart home service providers are installing the system for you the per-hour service charge they’ll ask for is between $80 and $100.

Smart homes make use of different technologies. At a basic level you could have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth control or infrared control of devices. Such systems could then be enhanced with microprocessor controls leading to a degree of programmability and automation. Then you could have smart homes with sensors linked to appliances for even better automation and control. Complex systems may use IoT technology, artificial intelligence, voice controls, microprocessors and Smartphone apps to give you complete automation and lots of features such as voice control remote switching of devices and even adjustments of each. You could use your app to set lighting level and even color. You can use the app to set time duration and temperature of the oven. You could control the air conditioner in a similar way. Smart homes may have a centralized unit with Wi-Fi for internals and internet for external monitoring and control. The possibilities are immense. We would suggest that you first study different types of systems and extent of sophistication before you put down money for one.
