East Texas Homes

There is nothing more descriptive of the fulfillment of the American dream than owning your own home. Getting to the point in your life where purchasing a piece of East Texas real estate is possible takes time, responsibility, and lots of hard work. But in the end, when those closing documents have been signed and the seller turns over the keys, everything you have done to get there is worth it. If you’ve been thinking about buying a home, then take advantage of the buyer’s market that exists today.

Tyler Texas and East Texas Real Estate Agencies

The first step toward owning a piece of East Texas real estate is getting preapproval for a home loan. This will make you a qualified buyer and streamline the process once you do find a home you are interested in. Most sellers won’t even consider accepting an offer unless you submit a preapproval letter, so this is a vital first step.

When you’ve gotten that taken care of, you should take some time finding an experienced East Texas real estate agent. You don’t have to rely solely on your agent to find and show you properties, but you will need their expertise when it comes time to make a deal. They will also have access to information on homes that you will not and will be happy to share this information with you.

Then start browsing the selection of East Texas real estate that is available. You may find the perfect home right away, or it may take weeks. Either way, try not to get emotionally invested in any property until it is your name on the deed.

Born Again Exterminating Service

November 3rd, 2009

Lee with Born Again Exterminating Service can be reached at: 903-876-3284

We have known Lee for awhile now and he is one of those Pest Control guys that has worked for several years for a larger brand company to eventually go off on his own and start his own company. Lee is a Christian and more than just going on a label we have experience with Lee of being a hard working honest man that knows how to do proper pest control while giving you an affordable price.

I personally do not use Lee with Born Again Exterminating Service because my wife’s dad is a pest control guy and does our house for free. Considering we already have someone in the family and I am still promoting someone else should say a lot about how much we believe Lee will do your home or business a good job when it comes time to exterminate your pests. Lee can kill Termites, varmints, cockroaches, and everything else.

Lee does not cut corners but will offer standardized services at discount prices. We think after comparing pest control companies like Terminix, Orkin, and other pest control companies you will not be able to find a better pest exterminating service for the price. Lee offers quarterly pest control service starting at $65 a quarter. For $75 plus tax you can get a real estate termite inspection which is often needed when buying a home. If you just need a one time thing Lee can come out and do a thorough pest control job for $80. Whatever you have in mind we recommend Lee because of his affordable prices, his hunger to be the best, and his expertise in his field from years of experience.

Lee can be reached at 903-876-3284.

Tyler Texas Roofing Companies

August 31st, 2009

When buying a fixer upper home in Tyler Texas you may end up buying a house with an old roof that needs a bit of an upgrade and most usually a complete replacement. Most people hope that after buying a home like this that a hail storm comes along soon after the purchase and voids the roof warranty which in turn allows your insurance company to pay for a new roof. You end up with a new roof after paying the deductible which is usually only $500 or so dollars. In my case I bought a fixer upper Tyler Texas home but a hail storm never came along and my roof began to leak. I quickly realized that I need a new roof. Some of my decision processes in comparing roofing companies and prices had to do with several important points. We believe you should consider these points as well when deciding which Tyler roofing company you will choose for your new roof.

  • Is the Tyler Roof Company Bonded?
  • Are They Insured?
  • Are They a Licensed Roofing Installer?
  • Are They a Member of the Tyler Area Builders Association?
  • Does The Roofing Company Offer Referral Information on Other Roofing Jobs They Have Completed?
  • Do They Offer Pricing On Both 20 and 30 Year Shingles?
  • Does The Roofing Company Use 30 pound Felt?
  • How Many Nails Do They Use Per Shingle?
  • Do They Offer Energy Efficient Shingles For Those Wanting To Lower Their Electricity Bill Costs?
  • What Is Their Roofing Projects Estimated Cost?

These are some of the questions to ask and consider when comparing Tyler Texas roofing companies. You can call around 5 – 10 Tyler roofing companies to get answers to these questions and more. We recommend taking down notes and be sure to get them to come out and give you a total project cost. One of the more important points that many people overlook is if the East Texas roofing company is bonded and insured. You also need to make sure they offer a warranty on their own construction work and not just the material warranty.

A good roofing company will come on site and help you determine what roofing shingle color will look best on your house. They can also consult you on what energy efficient shingles they have and what the estimated energy savings could be over the course of a year. By picking a lighter shaded shingle you will reflect sunlight off of the roof more and save on energy over a darker colored shingle. When comparing shingle prices as well as construction costs we compared prices from about 10 different Tyler roofing companies. We ultimately ended up going with Advantage Roofing Company and have found their prices to be the cheapest while still offering a quality product, 30 pound felt, and craftsmanship on the actual construction job.
