“ We have been happy with all the services we have gotten from them. There are never any surprises. They are our go-to company when we need their type of services." - Dustin G, Decora Homes

"I called this year regarding a past quote they had provided and they came out and reconfirmed the work that needs to be done. They gave me a date and Scott and his team came out and did a great job on our driveway. It was neat seeing how the foam jacking worked. Our driveway and sidewalks look fantastic (there is one spot where it couldn't be raised anymore but that is the fault of the binding concrete and not Liftechs') The best part is the holes they drilled are tiny compared to normal mudjacking. I would say they are dime-sized. Barely noticeable after they filled them. I would definitely recommend Liftech for your mudjacking/foamjacking needs! - Ryan D, Saskatoon

"We have known Scott & Jim for 8 years. They have always been great to deal with and there is never any panic. They are the easiest company to deal with. Their communication is almost too good." - Jon A, Saskatoon

In this series of articles, we continue to shine a spotlight on the businesses that have been partners for over 10 years. This year we recognize the Trusted Saskatoon Partners that joined us in 2012. We want to thank them for TRUSTING our team, and we are identifying each of them individually for providing 10 years of OUTSTANDING service to the citizens of Saskatoon and the surrounding area! This latest article celebrates and recognizes Milton Taylor and the ladies at Imagery Photography.

Milton B. Taylor, MPA founded Imagery Photography in 1977. Milton has had an illustrious and lengthy photographic career. He is a multi-award-winning photographer, whose skills are still very much in demand.

When we presented Milton with his Trusted Saskatoon 10-Year Award, we asked him about advice he would give others in business and why he has been so successful over so many years. He replied simply and predictably…

"TREASURE LIFE."

“Treasure Life” has been Milton’s motto for many years. “We all get opportunities to do something in life. We have to seize those opportunities and make them count.” He hopes that we can all look back in years to come and recall how wonderful and treasured those opportunities are and that we always treasure life.

Trusted Sara and Milton

“ I have known Milton since meeting him at a breakfast networking event in 2011, and he has been my photographer ever since. Over the years he has visually documented my life with cherished family photos, passport photos, Trusted event photos and all of our Trusted team and website photos. I have always loved the results and have no hesitation in recommending Milt to anyone looking for a talented and trustworthy photographer in Saskatoon
In 2021 Milton agreed to collaborate with me to raise money for local charities. I roped him into volunteering as my partner and we stepped up a team for the Saskatoon Progress Club’s Celebrity Challenge -which promotes local restaurants and raises money for local charities. We represented Team HomeQuarter and together we sold over $6000 of gift cards and promoted the event far and wide. All in all the event raised over $80,000 for local non-profits, including one close to his heart, Care and Share Saskatoon. I was thrilled to witness him accepting the prestigious Professional Photographers of Canada: Saskatchewan Fellowship Award. in 2017, which is the highest honour which can be bestowed upon a member. I am so grateful to be able to promote him as .a client, a Trusted partner and to also call him a valued friend." - Sara Wheelwright - Trusted Saskatoon Founder.

As passionate about volunteering as he is about photography, Milton devotes countless hours to many community organizations, projects and programs. He has been and continues to be, involved with many community and business organizations. If you visit his studio it is impossible to miss all of the awards crowding the window sills and shelves. Most recently, he was Chair of the NSBA board of directors. One of Milton’s greatest passions is his involvement with Care and Share Saskatoon.

Care and Share is a non-profit organization devoted to the needs of Saskatoon’s inner-city schools. Care and Share’s mission is to ensure all children have an opportunity to develop all of their potential: in sports, in school, in culture and in recreation. Milton strongly believes that education is the only way to break the cycle and that the longer children can stay in school, the better their chances of success.

Trusted Saskatoon Contractors K & S Contracting Share About Foundation Repair Work vs Selling Your Home

10. Aug 2022 Admin Saskatoon Contractors, Trusted Tips

K & S Contracting specializes in foundation repair for homeowners across Saskatchewan. In addition, they also offer general contracting services to Saskatoon and the surrounding area. In their latest Trusted Saskatoon tip, K & S Contracting, Trusted Saskatoon General Contractors, and foundation specialists, discuss if you should see your home vs foundation repair work.

SELL YOUR HOME VS FOUNDATION REPAIR

Trying to make the decision if you should sell your home versus foundation repair can be quite a decision. If you decide to sell your home with a faulty foundation you have four options:

Option 1: Do nothing and list as-is for a lesser amount.

Option 2: Complete the repair before putting it on the market.

Option 3: Offer credit to buyers to be used towards repairs after closing.

Option 4: Negotiate repair terms once an interested buyer has had an inspection.

However, if you should decide you want to keep your home and do the foundation repair. Then you need to review what is causing the problem. Below is a short list of typical foundation repairs:

SINKING

Excess water around a home’s foundation from rain or flooding can saturate the soil, causing it to sink. That effect will vary at different places around the foundation, causing not only sinking but uneven sinking, including breaking up the foundation.

SETTLING

Drought can have just as big an impact on the foundation. The soil will dry up and shrink. This causes the foundation to settle into a reduced level of the soil. And of course, that settlement will be uneven across the foundation, causing cracks and breaks.

TREE AND SHRUB ROOTS

When planted close to the home’s foundation, roots can cause significant damage. In dry conditions, they pull out moisture, causing the soil to settle. In wet conditions, the cracks created can lead to excess moisture and even flooding in basements or crawl spaces.

FROST HEAVE

In typical Saskatoon freezing conditions, the top layer of soil freezes quickly, followed by the lower levels. Unfortunately, that top frozen layer doesn’t allow the lower levels to expand as they freeze. This, in turn, pushes the top layer upward and puts pressure on the home’s foundation. Cracks and bulges are the inevitable consequences.

POOR WORKMANSHIP

A home’s foundation could also suffer from poor workmanship in the original construction. For example, the concrete mix could have too much water, leaving weak cement. It could also be improperly levelled, leading to big problems over time.

At the end of the day, deciding to sell your home vs foundation repair work depends on what you want to live with. When trying to make that decision, we recommend you call Steve immediately and ask him to provide you with your options and costs.

If you are thinking of doing renos in your yard, such as building a garage, be sure you contact Click Before You Dig.

PROFESSIONAL GAS LINE INSTALLATION

Gas is something we use in our homes, often without thinking about it. It’s used for cooking and heating. However, gas is flammable and can be dangerous if not handled properly. This is why we recommend a professional gas line installation.

They Know the Standard Procedures

Professional gas fitters received the necessary training to install gas systems properly. Along with the installation, they also know the standard procedures to take to ensure that no problem will arise. They know the right places to check to ensure that the system is working fine so that you will not have to worry about gas leaks later on.

Moreover, they have the skills and equipment needed to solve other problems, such as potential corrosion, dent, or a breach in your gas lines.

They Will Give a Proper Assessment of Your System

Through their skills, experience, and equipment, they can accurately tell the condition of your gas system. As such, they can suggest the best steps to take in case it needs repair or replacement.

Remember that this is a sensitive and flammable system, so it’s best to have experienced professionals check your system so that you can avoid any accident or disaster. Don’t try to do it all on your own—after all, your life depends on it!

Professional Gas Line Installers Understand Building Plans

Home and building plans may seem simple; however, reading an architectural drawing to add or tap into a gas line requires precise knowledge and careful planning. Gas fitters are trained to read plans allowing them to perform gas line replacements, and gas conversions.

They Help You Learn More About Your Gas System

Although there are resources available online for you to do some self-learning, learning it directly from experts is still the best and easiest way to do it. Through regular maintenance and occasional repairs, you will eventually learn how the system works, what problems commonly arise, and how to address them.

These professionals are often glad to answer your questions and share with you helpful advice on maintaining your system.

They’ll Be There When You Need Them

Even though you are doing your best to maintain your gas system and have it regularly checked, accidents can still happen due to unforeseen causes. Fortunately, Gibbon’s gas fitters who are only a call away for emergency service. There’s nothing more reassuring than knowing that you’ll have someone to help you in urgent situations.

So when you are ready to install a gas line, please connect with Gibbon’s Heating & Air Conditioning to do a professional gas line installation.
