Auto Glass Repair in Tyler Texas

July 27th, 2010

Driving around in Tyler and especially when behind dump trucks or newly paved roads you will get rock chips. I got one the other day from a newly paved road that had several loose rocks on top of some wet oily pavement.

I started thinking about the different auto glass places in Tyler Texas and some I have used before. I would have opened up the phonebook but the internet is so much easier to use.

So I searched for cheap rock chip repair in Tyler TX and found AutoGlass Express. They are in an easy to find location across from the place where you get your drivers licence in Tyler.

Keith was the guy I talked to and they ended up being the cheapest in town and did all the insurance verification for me. I ended up not paying anything for the windshield repair.

You can call them at (903) 566-2424.

If you need a completely new window for your car or truck they do that as well.

Surgical weight loss options in Tyler, Texas

July 21st, 2010

For those who are morbidly obese, or at least 100 pounds overweight, bariatric surgery can be an appropriate course of action.  Sometimes it may be the only course of action possible.  There are several different types of bariatric surgery, so speaking with a Tyler, Texas specialist is the best place to start.  Keep in mind however, that there are disadvantages that come with this type of surgery.

Most insurance companies see bariatric surgery as an elective procedure and getting them to pay for the surgery can be next to impossible.  You will need a liaison that has experience dealing with the insurance companies, and even then nothing is guaranteed. This type of surgery is very expensive, and paying out of pocket is simply not feasible for most people.  Finances can be the biggest barrier between you and your bariatric surgery.

If you can prove to your insurance company that the surgery is medically necessary and they give you the green light, you will still have challenges ahead of you.  Some surgeons require a period of counseling to be sure you are emotionally capable of dealing with the lifestyle changes required for this type of surgery.  You may also be required to try to lose a specific amount of weight naturally to prove your dedication or eliminate other health problems that may make surgery particularly dangerous.

If you are considering bariatric surgery in Tyler, Texas, talk to a doctor before making any decisions and be sure you understand everything that comes along with the procedure.

Tyler Texas Hearing Aids

December 3rd, 2009

Tyler seems to be the retirement capital of East Texas and perhaps Texas and because of this you have many people needing to have hearing tests done and get a hearing aid for themselves. Most hearing aid tests can be done free by a local hearing aid company also known as an audiologist. The government has different programs that run each year that can help subsidize the cost of a hearing aid and reduce the cost dramatically. A hearing aid company in Tyler that has a licensed audiologist can explain the benefits of a hearing aid test and what type of products are available to improve your hearing.

If you are a guy like me you may find it hard to admit that your hearing is getting bad and you might need a hearing aid. We have someone in our family that is getting up there in age and he literally screams when he talks. His hearing isn’t that good and I guess he talks so loud in order for him to hear his own voice. To him he is speaking correctly because he doesn’t hear himself as loud as other people do.

These same people that are losing their hearing will have to pretend to be hearing people at a certain point when the hearing gets really bad. After the 5th time of asking someone to repeat themselves you start to feel a little uncomfortable asking again. Eventually when speaking back and forth with people you start studying lips and attempting to lip read which isn’t very easy. Family members start to get mad at you because they think you are ignoring them or being selfish reading or watching a show.

Before the frustration of having bad hearing gets to you and your family I recommend checking with a local Tyler Texas hearing aid company. They will be able to check your hearing and show you hearing aid products that will work for your situation. There are also online hearing aid companies that sell hearing aids at discount prices and work with the government to get insurance to cover most of the cost of a hearing aid.

The online discounters that sell hearing aids will usually have licensed to do hearing tests come to your home, independent Tyler TX assisted living location, or apartment. They will test your hearing and get you setup with the hearing aid you need.

Choosing a Home Remodeling Company in Tyler Texas

November 6th, 2009

When picking a home remodeling company in Tyler Texas it is good to use a company that is insured and bonded. You can also choose a company that is licensed but you will usually pay a few thousand more dollars than if you were to go with a skilled contractor that still is insured and bonded but without the license. There are many home remodeling contractors in Tyler TX that have the insurance but don’t see the benefit in becoming licensed. In most cases choosing a licensed contractor just isn’t necessary unless taking out a very large home remodeling loan where the bank requires that the contractor be licensed.

We had several Tyler home remodeling companies come by our house and give us quotes on things like a new roof, flooring, tiling, painting, door and window installations, custom showers. What we found is that quite a few of these Tyler Texas building contractors would quickly add on things that they could do even when they were really only good at one or two things. You can imagine when we had them do some of these additional tasks they would not be as good at the additional things as what we initially hired them for. This was not the case with a home remodeling contractor we found experienced in several different areas of home construction offering discount prices I just didn’t see elsewhere. Also the level of confidence I had with this construction company had to do with their ability to continually price their jobs right and their attention to detail.

Josh with R and R Home Creations remodeling has experience in turn key home remodeling where they will typically provide a turn key remodel for your major remodeling points in an old house. We found that Home Creations had a great deal of experience in installing flooring, refinishing flooring, drywall, tiling, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, back splash and tile installation, as well as texturing and painting. When buying new doors and windows they can also professionally install these items as well. Their expertise and low overhead allowed us to begin our home remodeling project at a much cheaper price tag than the typical project of this size. They had multiple before and after pictures to show us of turn key home remodeling projects they have completed for half the price I have been quoted by other home building and remodeling consultants.

This Tyler Texas home remodeling company was very convenient to our budget as they worked with us in completing our project in phases. We wanted the cost savings that comes when hiring a company to do a large job but we needed the entire project to happen over the course of a year as we had the money to pay for it. Josh Rucker with Home Creations has experience in most aspects of a home remodel and when they are asked about a job outside their experience they have affordable people they use to complete such things as electrical and plumbing work.
