Saving Energy with Nansulate
November 21st, 2011 categories: Buying Real Estate, Home Improvement & Design, Real Estate News
I found a great Home Improvement Idea that won't break the bank!! Your first question when you read the title is probably; "What is Nansulate® ?" Here is the simple definition from the manufacturer...."Nansulate® Crystal is a patented, one-of-a-kind, clear thermal insulation coating for concrete or clay tile roofs, slate roofs and asphalt or wood shingle sloped roofs that lowers your energy bill and keeps your roof looking beautiful and new." I ran across this website while looking for a roofing product to seal roofs that have a small hole or something simple. This is what I found. At approx. $85/gal, the initial cost is a little hard to swallow, but the end benefit is reported to be great! Zoom in on the shingle....can you see the difference? It seals all the granules and makes the roof able to withstand high winds and hard rain. The manufacture states that the average energy savings after 3 years is 46%. Click here for the case study. We are in Central Texas, Brazos Valley, College Station/Bryan. What affect would it have here? I found a case study in Dallas!!!! It is a totally Green product that falls in line with Aggie values and what everyone should be thinking...| Discussion: Your Comments Please »

New Home Inspection Technology in Bryan/College Station
November 3rd, 2011 categories: Home Improvement & Design, Market Trends, Real Estate News, Selling Real Estate, The Realtor's Life
Today I learned something new concerning home inspections. Clifton Cobbs of Sun Star Real Estate Inspections trained myself and some other Century 21, Beal agents about a new technology for home inspections using infared devices. These infared inspections can detect areas where air is penetrating a home or leaking out of a home as well as water detection in walls, ceilings, or floors. Watch the video to learn more and see a demonstration, or for more information on infared inspections, call Clifton at 832-594-0281 [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX7uEZMaNLo[/youtube] For this and all real estate tips, call me, Farrah Spears at 979-229-0919| Discussion: 1 Comment »
