Glass repair, replacement and tinting services to the residential, automotive and commercial markets

If you’re ready to give your home a new look or save on heating and cooling bills, your windows are a great place to start. But with so many ways to renovate the windows in your home, where do you even begin?

Are solar screens an option, and do they really work? What are the advantages of Double Pane windows? If you’re scratching your head wondering which window option to choose, you’re not alone! Because there are several options to choose from, this article will help you figure out which windows might work best for your home and budget. To make that process easier, let’s take a look at a few of the most popular window options available.

Before reviewing the different window options available, it should be noted that energy efficiency should be a major consideration when deciding which type of windows you choose for your home. Energy efficient windows can help lower your monthly heating and cooling cost, and can result in significant savings over time.

Impact Windows

While the initial cost of impact windows might be a little more, they offer a significant advantage when it comes to protecting your home and property from storm damage. If you live in a climate that is prone to hurricanes or severe weather, impact windows provide the type of security and protection that other windows can’t match. Upgrading your home with impact windows can also help increase the overall value of your home. Since your windows are often the weakest point in a home, impact windows help minimize the threat of damage to your home.

Scratch Removal Specialists

800-806-8807

Our Philosophy and Mission

With over twenty-years of South Florida experience in the glass restoration industry, Scratch Removal Specialists, Inc. strives to provide the most professional and cost effective solutions to your glass restoration needs.  Our company culture of professionalism, safety, training, and customer satisfaction makes us stand-out as the best choice in the glass restoration industry.  From a single window repair, to an entire building restoration, we have the experience and staffing to take on your project with the the care and professionalism it deserves.

 

 

IGU (Double Pane Windows)

Insulated glass windows, also referred to as double-pane windows, consist of two or more pieces of flat glass separated by gas or air that is injected between them. Two pieces of glass certainly provide more protection as opposed to one. However, since glass is a poor insulator by nature, the thickness of the glass may not be as important as what’s in between those two panes of glass. This space is typically filled with either air or gas (like krypton or argon) which helps boost the windows’ insulating power and inhibits heat transfer. Not only are insulated glass windows incredibly energy-efficient, but they also add a layer of comfort to your home by helping to reduce the amount of air that escapes through your window and the level of outside noise.

Low-E Glass

Low-E, which stands for low emissivity glass, is a kind of thin coating (thinner than a strand of human hair) that is applied to windows to make them substantially more energy-efficient. While window tints use a type of film to minimize heat, low E-glass uses a colorless, non-toxic coating instead. Low-E glass minimizes how much ultraviolet light passes through the window. This can help enhance the natural lighting in your home and reduce heating and cooling costs. Low-E glass is a great investment if you’re looking to make a subtle upgrade of your windows while staying cost-effective.

If you decide to update rather than replace your windows, here are some other ways in which you can make them more energy efficient in the process.

Solar Screens

Solar screens are made up of dark, tightly woven mesh that can be installed on the outside or on the inside of your window. Installing solar screens offers a few advantages. They are relatively inexpensive and can help reduce energy usage. They are also a great solution for any windows that receive extended exposure to the sun throughout the day. Solar screens help reduce the amount of heat inside your home, blocking as much as 90% of outside heat. They also help reduce glare, protect privacy, and help prevent heat damage to the interior of your home.

Window Tinting

Window tinting is another option if you’re looking to upgrade your windows without replacing them. Windows can be tinted in a wide range of colors and shades, and with a variety of different materials. Each treatment can accomplish a different purpose, or help achieve a certain look, with different pros and cons for each.

Here are the five most common types of window tint:

  1. Standard – Helps block sunlight
  1. Ceramic – Considered the best type of window tint as it reflects the sun’s UV rays and reduces glare.
  1. Decorative – Used for aesthetic purposes and replicates the look of stained/frosted glass. It’s commonly used to transform regular windows into ornate ones without having to replace the glass or install a new window.
  1. Security – Used to reinforce and strengthen windows to help protect against breakage and natural disasters.
  1. Solar – Provides a scratch-resistant coating and utilizes polyester laminate. This film reduces UV and IR rays as well as glare, which helps improve visibility.

Lake Restoration: A Complete Guide to Maintaining Lake & Pond Health

At SOLitude Lake Management, we believe healthy, balanced waterbodies allow our clients to create meaningful experiences on and around their waterbody. We are dedicated to making water a more healthy and beautiful part of our world by utilizing sustainable management solutions and innovative technologies that improve water quality, enhance beauty, and preserve natural resources.

For many cities, lakes, ponds, and waterways are a major attraction and part of what makes living there so special. From the rivers to the beautiful lakes and ponds throughout communities and golf courses, water is central to everyday life. However, you may not have given much thought to what goes into maintaining all of these beautiful waterways.

Maintaining a lake is more complicated than you may realize. It requires ongoing water quality monitoring and management to help ensure the lake continues to thrive and that people can continue to enjoy it. Without regular management of your lake or pond, the waterway can become unusable.

Ongoing monitoring and maintenance is the key to maintaining a waterbody that meets your needs. This is why an annual management approach is so beneficial for any aquatic ecosystem. Learn more about year-round management and the benefits of a SOL Pro Annual Management Program. With regular professional oversight and care, you can enjoy your waterbody for years to come.

The Importance of Healthy, Balanced Waterbodies

Freshwater ecosystems serve many purposes. They support irrigation, stormwater collection, drinking water, water sports, and recreational fishing. Regardless of their function, management is necessary to support the biodiversity and environmental health of the waterway.

Water can also have a significant impact on property values. In housing developments, no one wants to smell or look at an unsightly, overgrown lake or pond. That’s why it is critical for HOAs and apartment complexes to adequately manage their waterways.

Lake restoration is an important process in which a wide range of management techniques are used to restore a lake to its original state or to a state that better supports the health and well-being of the aquatic system, including plants and animals. It’s important to understand why problems, which often manifest as algae, occur before preventative solutions can be implemented.

 

Understanding Algae and Cyanobacteria

The word “algae” often gets used informally as a catch-all term that can include a wide array of organisms that are not always closely related. Sometimes, when people refer to “algae,” they may actually be talking about cyanobacteria, also known as “blue-green algae” or “toxic algae.” It actually is not algae at all.

Cyanobacteria appear in several different forms. It can appear as hair-like filaments, slimy coatings on plants, or a green, soupy-looking substance suspended in the water column. Cyanobacteria can release toxins that can harm your waterway. The toxins are the cyanobacteria’s way of defending themselves against other competing organisms, but they can also harm fish, wildlife, pets, and humans.

Excessive runoff and pollution is a common source of this problem. This runoff can lead to nutrient loading that will eventually upset the balance of a waterway’s aquatic system. Grass clippings, pet waste, eroded sediment, and landscaping fertilizers all contribute to nutrient loading. Managing the conditions that contribute to nutrient loading is crucial to keeping the harmful cyanobacteria and nuisance algae in check.

 

Aeration

In both ponds and lakes, aeration systems are used to increase the oxygenation and circulation of the waterway. A pond aeration system can be in the form of a floating fountain or consist of submersed diffusers strategically located at the bottom throughout the waterbody. Aeration helps improve the overall health of the aquatic system by converting nutrients to forms that do not sustain organic growth. Likewise, if muck development is severe, new tools like Oxygen Saturation Technology (OST) can be used to target dissolved oxygen to the bottom sediments where it will remain and aid in the natural digestion.

 

Shoreline Management

Unhealthy shorelines are a large contributing factor to nutrient loading. In addition to releasing sediment, unstable and eroded shorelines can allow stormwater runoff to flow directly into the water, polluting the ecosystem. SOX Solutions is a knitted mesh material that can be used to physically reshape and anchor the shoreline for many years of stability. Planting native, deep-rooted vegetation around the

 

Nutrient Remediation

Lakes and ponds suffering from chronic nutrient loading may be excellent candidates for proven nutrient-locking technologies like Phoslock and Alum. These products can help inactivate excess nutrients, making them unavailable for fueling nuisance plants and algae. Phoslock, specifically, is a lanthanum-modified clay that rapidly binds and permanently removes free reactive phosphorus from the water column shortly after application. It is also effective in locking up the phosphorus in the bottom sediments. This helps return the pond to its naturally beautiful state.

 

Biological Treatments

Dead algae, along with other build-ups of sludge and bottom sediment, can occur in your waterway. This is a natural process, but poor management can expedite this build-up. Biological treatments (which are like a probiotic for your waterbody) introduce naturally occurring cultures into the water. They digest undesirable organic muck and help clear excess nutrients from the ecosystem. This process can also help raise the dissolved oxygen levels in the pond and help beneficial aquatic plants, fish, and animals thrive.

 

Mechanical Hydro-raking

Nutrient-rich muck and detritus can be removed physically with a hydro-rake, which is essentially a floating backhoe capable of removing up to 500 pounds of material in one scoop. These materials are then taken from the shoreline for off-site disposal. This process not only helps remove excess nutrients, but also helps restore lake and pond depth and volume – reducing flooding, cloudiness, and bad odors.

 

Herbicides and Algaecides

In urgent circumstances, herbicides and algaecides can be used to quickly eliminate nuisance algae and weeds. Lake and pond management professionals only use products that are registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and formulated to specifically target the undesirable growth in your waterbody. However, herbicides and algaecides should only be used as a last-resort option when it is too late for preventative action.

 

Grass Carp

Sterile triploid grass carp serve as a “biological control” option for nuisance aquatic vegetation. Triploid Grass Carp can help reduce the amount of pesticides required for the management of nuisance and invasive vegetation. Though EPA-registered aquatic herbicides play a key role in safe and responsible plant management, they should generally be viewed as a last resort option for stubborn infestations.

11 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Public Adjuster in South Florida by Stellar Adjusting

11 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Public Adjuster in South Florida by Stellar Adjusting

  • Posted: Jan 04, 2022

  • Comments: Comments Off on 11 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Public Adjuster in South Florida by Stellar Adjusting

If you’re hiring a public adjuster, it’s important to keep in mind that this person is going to be working for you. You’re the boss, so you’ve got to think like a boss. That means interviewing them and asking the right questions. We’ve listed eleven questions that you should ask any public adjuster before you make the hire.

 

 

WHY HIRE A PUBLIC ADJUSTER?

hiring a public adjusterBefore we talk about how to hire a public adjuster, let’s talk for a second about why you would want to hire one in the first place. The short answer is that you hopefully will never need to hire one. However, if your home or business is damaged, you’ll need to fire an insurance claim, which means providing the insurance company with an estimate of the damages. If the claim is very large, or if the insurance company thinks they can get away with paying less, they will send an insurance adjuster to draw up their own estimate.

When this happens, you have a few options. You can accept the insurance company’s offer, you can sue the insurance company, or you can hire a public adjuster to make a counteroffer. Accepting the company’s offer isn’t always the best idea. In some cases, you may be asked to settle for far less than the actual cost of damages. However, suing the insurance company can get expensive. They have teams of corporate lawyers, and you’ll end up spending a lot of money on your own legal case. Meanwhile, you’ll receive no funds during the legal process, so you’ll have to repair your home or business and pay your lawyer out of pocket.

A public insurance adjuster offers a great compromise. They can get you a better settlement, and you won’t have to pay out of pocket. For more information, read our guide on when to contact a Florida public adjuster.

 

1. HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN IN BUSINESS?

There’s nothing wrong with being new to the business. Even the biggest, most prestigious firms once started as a single adjuster opening their own small business. But if someone is just starting out in their own business, you’d expect them to have previous experience working for another firm. If they haven’t, steer clear.

2. ARE THEY PART OF A TEAM?

A single public adjuster, even a very well-qualified one, can only be so knowledgeable. A team of adjusters can pool their knowledge and help each other out, leading to better results for their clients.

3. ARE THEY LICENSED IN FLORIDA?

If you’re in another state, this applies to your state as well. An unlicensed public adjuster isn’t just breaking the law by practicing without a license. They can also put you at risk, since there’s no guarantee that they’re even competent.

4. DO THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH CLAIMS LIKE YOURS?

For any qualified public adjuster, south Florida hurricanes should be par for the course. But if you’re dealing with an unusual claim – for example, if a car ran off the road and into your living room – you’ll want to know that your public adjuster is qualified to deal with your claim’s quirkier aspects.

5. HOW DO THEY GET PAID?

A public insurance adjuster should only get paid when you get paid, taking a percentage of your claim. If your adjuster is asking for an up-front fee, don’t do business with them. What they’re doing is unethical.

6. DO THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH MORTGAGE LENDERS?

Depending on your situation, you may still owe money to a mortgage lender, and they’re most likely not going to be patient with you while the insurance company handles your claim. An experienced public adjuster can oftentimes serve as an intermediary to help you deal with your mortgage lender’s demands.

7. WHO WILL PREPARE MY CLAIM?

The opposite problem of working with too small a team is working with a big firm that farms out their work to third-party contractors. So you can be paying for a prestigious name, but getting freelance service. Make sure that your public insurance adjuster will be personally involved with your claim.

8. CAN I STAY INVOLVED WITH MY CLAIM?

Some public adjusters prefer that their clients not communicate directly with the insurance company. Others are comfortable to share these responsibilities with their clients. There’s no right or wrong answer to this question, but it’s important that you and your adjuster are on the same page here.

9. CAN THEY PROVIDE LOCAL REFERENCES?

The average person may never need a public adjuster’s services or may need them once or twice at most. If their adjuster did a good job, they’re going to remember it. Ask your prospective public adjuster for references. If they’re not prepared to offer any, scratch them off your list.

10. HOW MANY CLAIMS ARE THEY HANDLING?

Sometimes, in the aftermath of a natural disaster, public adjusters can become overwhelmed with claims from a large number of people. In this case, a qualified, competent adjuster may simply be too busy to give your claim the individual attention it deserves.

11. WHAT ARE THEIR ERRORS AND OMISSIONS POLICY?

Errors and Omissions is the insurance industry’s version of malpractice insurance. It ensures that if your public adjuster makes a mistake that costs you money, they’ll be able to compensate you. Every licensed public adjuster should carry a policy. If they’re not willing to share this information with you, tell them to take a hike.

Wetlands are frequently mandated by state and county statute. When you work with Allstate, you can be assured that we are following all regulations and mandates for wetland preserves and wetland management in South Florida.

Did you know! In Florida there are more 400 water recycling projects, making our state a national leader in the use of reclaimed water. The treatment process eliminates harmful substances, but leaves traces of nitrogen and phosphorous that act as fertilizers when reclaimed water is applied to lawns and landscape. Reclaimed water can cause spikes in algae growth on lakes.

 A stormwater system is a tool for managing the runoff from rainfall. When rainwater lands on rooftops, parking lots, streets, driveways and other surfaces that water cannot penetrate, the runoff flows into grates, swales or ditches located around your property and neighborhood. These grates, swales and ditches carry the runoff into stormwater ponds. A stormwater pond is specifically designed to help prevent flooding and remove pollutants from the water before it can drain into the groundwater or into streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands, or the ocean.

Five Simple Steps To Get Your Home RentReady 

Five Simple Steps To Get Your Home RentReady 

  • Posted: Dec 16, 2021

Five Simple Steps To Get Your Home RentReady

Follow these five simple steps to a Rent Ready home. Many property managers and landlords in Florida believe that a quick sweep through the home makes it a rent ready home for a new resident.
But this is not enough as things are not as simple as they may seem. Here are five simple steps to ensure that your home is in tip-top shape and ready for a new occupant:
Step One: ReKey the Locks
Yes, you must re-key the locks between each New Tenant. Sure, you collected the keys from the the last tenant, but did they make spares? All outside locking doors should be re-keyed between each resident. Additionally, rotate the codes on any garage doors, access gates, exterior property gates, and mailboxes.
Step Two: Maintenance Assessment
A thorough maintenance assessment is absolutely vital. If you can’t do it yourself, we can send a professional through to assess any items that may need repair. They should evaluate all accessible pipes and electrical functionality, light bulbs and fixtures.
Moreover, they must check on garbage disposals, cabinets, windows and screens, window treatments, heating and cooling devices, doors, etc. Last but not the least, the evaluation should also include checking and replacing furnace filters and batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The more detailed evaluation, the better!
Step Three: Major Upgrades or Home Repairs
As we all know, extensive and costly repairs are tricky to complete with a resident in the home. Assess the condition of all flooring materials, paint, countertops, bathtub surrounds, major appliances, roofs, gutters, and chimneys/fireplaces.
If the bathrooms or kitchen is outdated it will certainly lower the RentalValue of your property. Now would be the time to make those changes and evaluate what increase in rent you could obtain for upgrades.
Step Four: Exterior Clean Up
Don’t just look inside, look outside, too! Haul any debris from the yard, trim the trees, prune the bushes, and cut the grass. A fresh coat of paint on the fence, or a new front door can make a big impact to rental potential. In-expensive lights, a large mirror in a dimly lit hallway are worth invest in enhancing your CurbAppeal!
Step Five: Professional Cleaning
A clean and neat look to the house makes all the difference in how the home shows and how quickly it rents. Even the best Pembroke Pines tenants don’t often clean well enough.
Hire a professional cleaning service for the job and a truck mounted steam clean service for the carpets and any furniture in need of deep-cleaning. Walk around the house and see if it is the sort of house you would like to rent? And then get busy cleaning!
Getting your house rent ready for the next rotation can be a little more difficult than just taling a quick sweep around the property. RealPropertyManagementPremier can help you get your property in tip-top shape and ready without any hassles.

Is there a contactless authentication solution?

by iDentyTech Solutions America

 

A lot of people don’t like to touch things or put their fingers or hands where other people have been. These reasons could be personal, such as the dislike of germs, or even religion. There are industries that require a sterilized work environment, and again touching a keypad or putting your eye in an iris reader it’s not convenient. But what if you could present your hand to a sensor and without touching it, your biometric palm vein map could be read?

This is a biometric technology that authenticates you on the basis of vein pattern recognition, rather than iris scans or fingerprint. The world’s first “contactless vein authentication” technology offers even more security and ease of use and overcomes previous problems related to security concerns.

The PalmSecure sensor is a biometric authentication device that provides the highest level of security using palm vein authentication technology. This technology is now able to be used in a wide range of situations thanks to reductions in size, reductions in cost, and simplification of development.

PalmSecure emits near-infrared rays that are absorbed by deoxidized hemoglobin present in blood flowing through a user’s palm veins. This causes an image of the palm to be captured as a vein pattern, which is then verified against the user’s pre-registered pattern to grant (or deny) access to a physical location or computer network.

Advantages

> Contactless
Because of its contactless feature, it is very hygienic and stress-free for even public use.

> High security & applicability rate
Difficult to forgery the palm vein data because it is inside the body. Almost everyone can use it. The only system on the market that gives 100% the ability to enroll and authenticate any person.

>Easy to use
Just hold your palm over the device, it captures your vein pattern instantly and will operate with all genders and ages.

>Authentication accuracy
The palm vein authentication realizes advanced authentication accuracy because the palm vein pattern has many and large sizes of blood vessels. False Rejection Rate: 0.01% and False Acceptance Rate: 0.00008%

>Advanced algorithm
The algorithm creates several tens of thousands of Minutia points, encrypting each image before converting it into a template allowing for unique encryption keys for specific solutions.

Brothers in Business.
It is truly a blessing to be a part of a successful family business that has been doing it for over 30 years. So here is a weird statistic: if you were to line up the amount of flooring in square feet that House of Floors’ has installed, it would reach to the Moon and back 5 times. The number reason for our success is we put the client first. We, as a family, have unanimously agreed to put the client first!! This is one of the pillars of our success.

https://www.houseoffloorsweb.com/

 

Proud of our hard working installation crews who are dedicated to supporting Property Managers throughout Florida. Our culture is built on pride of customer service. At House of Floors we are just one spoke in the wheel for our Property Management clients.

 

Wishing our friends, clients, vendors, and all our associates a peaceful and relaxing holiday.

 

Also Owners of Flash Restore.

Flash Restore

844-Flash-24

Flash provides Fire, Water and Mold Mitigation and Remediation and we do it right every time.

At Flash we have developed a unique set of Standard Operating Practices that are supported by a strong back office team, and well trained field technicians. It is imperative that we perform the highest-quality work, and just as important that we can prove our work to our customer. A Scope and Estimate are always provided for review, communication and documentation begins as soon as we get eyes on a job, and daily progress updates are sent each day of an open job. Finally, each job performed by Flash is documented in detail in our Evidence Documentation Packet (EDP) (Remote owners especially appreciate this process).

Success is best measured by customers that request additional work, refer Flash to others and/or are willing to commit to longer term relationships. The feedback and response from Property Managers, Insurance Carriers, Hygenists/Assessors and Homeowners have been overwhelmingly positive. We’re different, and we’ll prove it.

Once a water-related emergency occurs, it’s critical to act quickly. Water moves fast and does incredible damage and remember water will flow until something stops it. Once it hits a surface like a wall, molding, or the foundation, it starts to fill up, and it can wick up into drywall, wood, and plaster in a matter of hours. That’s why it is critical to contact the professionals at Flash Restore as soon as possible. They are always available, even in the middle of the night. Remember, the more time that passes, the more damage that can occur.
