How is that "honey-do list" coming along?  Are you still procrastinating about putting up that shed or garage?  Is your home still waiting for all those upgrades you planned on doing?  Is that can of paint you bought still sitting in the garage?  How about that promise you made to do some landscaping this year?

       If you’re one of the many homeowners in the area, you know that there is always something that you need done around the home. Now some of you may have a spouse that is home improvement challenged or some of you may have a spouse that is deployed and you really want to get that project done before they return.

      

       If you’re looking for someone to do all those projects, look no further.  Thomas Hair and his wife, Helen are the team for you.  Now, they may not be "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" but when it comes to home improvement, they are doing what they love to do. “Surprisingly, we really do work well together.  I am the talkative and creative one, while Tom is the quiet one with all the skills.  “We do have our share of "creative differences" on how we would like to do certain things, but that just  adds to  getting  the best ideas and a job done well.

“It all started with the many homes that we have owned and making each one better than when we bought it and adding much more of the outdoor curb appeal.  No matter where we live, we have always had people stop by our house and compliment us on our many improvements.  It’s not only gratifying but a great way to meet some wonderful people.

Tom and Helen are equipped with all the necessary tools of the trade to make the job run smoother and for the best results.

       Some of the projects that they have tackled in the past are: painting, tile floors, wood floors, faux painting, interior painting, small concrete work, trim work, interior separation walls, bathroom upgrades, electrical, decks, patio and driveway add-ons, plumbing, sunrooms, garages, hammock stands, grape vine arbors, barbeque enclosures, firepits, block wall installation, small size waterfalls, winding stream, and tons of landscaping.

       Helen is also a Broker Associate, Realtor, and when it comes time to sell your home she really appreciates the value of good home maintenance and curb appeal.  "Our homes are our biggest investments but should also be a place that you really enjoy.  It’s great to come home from work and just retreat to a nice home and the wonderful Florida lifestyle we share here."  

       “When it comes to home improvement and what the buyers are looking for, it is best to focus on the exterior, the kitchen and the bathrooms.  These are the areas that you will recoup the most dollars as long as you don’t overdo it.  With the extended season of beautiful weather here in the panhandle, there are many outdoor landscaping projects that really do add value to your home.   Landscaping and gardening is one of my passions and  although  adding  a sunroom may be too costly for you, even a covered porch or screened in porch will add value.
 
Many homeowners are taking advantage of their outdoor space as an extension of their living area.  Aside from  landscaping with greenery, adding a firepit, an outdoor fireplace, pavers, built-in barbeque, water features, and setting up different areas of your garden where you can relax, cook, sunbathe, etc. These are all good investments for this area.

       Americans spent $155 billion on home improvements and repairs in 2006, a 2.8% increase over 2005's total, according to Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies. The Center estimates that we will spend over $160 billion in 2007. And, according to the National Gardening Assoc., Americans spend $40 billion a year for all garden related goods.

       If you’d like to see some of their outdoor projects you are welcome to drive by 6581 Flintwood Street in Holley By The Sea in Navarre. You can always call ahead if you’d like to see some of their indoor projects as well.

       Tom and Helen are willing to travel as far as Fort Walton/Destin area west to Pensacola to handle all your home improvement needs.  "Have Gun, Will Travel!"

       They handle all size jobs, big and small and will give you a fair estimate on any work you need done.  They charge by the project and you will be getting both of them for the price of one.  "Tom has certain talents for woodworking and construction while I concentrate on the details and meticulous items that require more patience.  I think we really compliment each other!"
