Indianapolis remodel contractor reviews-Indianapolis home remodeling

Posted by Jason Gettum on Mon, Jun 04, 2012 @ 08:42 AM

One hot topic when it comes to choosing the right remodel contractor to work on or improve your Indianapolis area home is 3rd party reviews.? For the consumer, it is benefit to have such services provide reviews from past customers. But, can you trust them? In some ways yes, and in some ways no.

For the scrupulous consumer the answer is probably somewhere in between. Yes, definitely,you should take into account reviews you read on the internet from 3rd party review companies. Examples of such companies include Angies List and Customer Lobby.? Other's include yahoo and google reviews.? All allow the collections of reviews from past clients of remodeling companies, including those in the Indianapolis area. But, NO you shouldnt take everything you see on reviews as truth.

If you go out on the internet and search for the above companies, you will see a few consumers that love these sites and some that may dispute the accuracy of their reporting.? Perhaps the most important is Angies list in which consumers pay a subscriber fee to review and research potential remodel contractors and other service professionals.? The big deal with Angies list is that a contractor cannot pay to be listed and reviewed on Angies List. That is left to the consumer. However, a contractor can pay to advertise with Angies List.? Admittedly, Gettum Associates does pay to advertise with Angies List.? We find it as a way to place us in front of more consumers looking for an honest contractor to complete their work. Does it mean we are awarded jobs simply because we advertise? NO. Absolutely not.

For customer lobby, it is free for a consumer to read reviews about potential contractors. However, a contractor must pay fees to collect and list their reviews.? An other unmentioned collector of reviews is Guild Quality, which will also poll and place reviews for a contractor, for a fee.? The only "free" place that I know of that accepts and posts consumers for free is google and yahoo. Both allow those with a accompanying e-mail address to rate and review those they hired for services, such as home remodeling.

So, how do you know, as a consumer, whom to trust and who to stay away from? Thankfully, most reputable Indianapolis area remodel contractors in business for a good length of time derive a large base of their clients from referrals from past clients.? As much as Gettum Associates and other high ranked Indianapolis contractors continually advertise and tout their services for a fee to an advertiser, we always have an equal or greater number of a client base that can back up our claims of exceptional work, great customer attention and service after the sale.? A reputable Indianapolis based home remodel contractor should always be willing to provide you a list of recent, past clients in which you can contact direct.

Sure, all reviews are subjective as are the referrals in which you should expect your prospective contractor to provide you. It is afertall, how we stay in business....by making people happy. Your friends, your neighbors, etc. However, you should always ask the tough questions: What went well? What went right? Which areas could be improved upon? Don't feel bad about asking those questions. You have a large investment at stake. But also dont be overhwhelmed in answers in which you deem negative.

You should expect an honest assessment to include what went wrong. After all, this is remodeling investment. You can and should expect some issues to crop up. Many are out of your contractors hands, and even if during the heat of the moment, you dont see it as that.? Yet. they are issues that come up and have to be dealt with. It's not always our fault, your original siding was installed correctly and allowed water to sit on and rot your wall sheathing. That is a good example, but relevant. It's more important to ask HOW the issues got solved. Were they solved in a timely and beneficial manner to both parties? Were they thoroughly explained to you as such? Were the extra costs involved, if any, explained in a satisfactory manner? Was a proper change order signed and accepted by all parties? By the way, this is a sign of a good contractor: One in which that places such issues in writing in how they will be handled, both in execution and in payment. For more information, in how to chose a great contractor, see our FREE guide, "6 mistakes to avoid when selecting a contractor".

In summary, consumer review websites are a GREAT resource for initial planning, contact and review. But, be sure to follow up those claims with a list of past client contacts from the prospective home remodel contractor. From there, give them a call. Feel free to ask the tough questions then make a decision based upon their feeling, how they were treated and their comfort level with the contractor.? After all, this is your home. Do your best due diligence in whom you should trust working on your home.

Justin BlackmonAP

It would have been worse for receiver Justin Blackmon to be arrested for aggravated DUI before the draft. ?It would have been better for it to happen after he signed his rookie contract.

It would have been best, of course, for it to never happen at all.

But happen it did, and now the question becomes whether it will have an impact on Blackmon?s contract negotiations. ?As the fifth overall pick in the draft, Blackmon previously was in line for a fully-guaranteed four-year deal, with a value falling south of Matt Kalil at No. 4 and north of Morris Claiborne at No. 6.

In theory, the Jags could decide to stand firm on the requisite four-year tender offer for the minimum salaries. ?That approach, however, inevitably would prompt Blackmon to hold out for the entire season and re-enter the draft in 2013, given that rookie contracts now can?t be renegotiated until after three seasons. ?[Editor's note: ?A prior version of this article explained that the Jaguars could tender Blackmon a one-year deal worth the rookie minimum of $390,000. ?The new CBA has changed that requirement to a four-year offer.]

The problem for both sides is that there?s not much the Jaguars can do to set the stage for the recovery of money, if Blackmon has additional issues in the future. ?The CBA provides for a partial forfeiture of a player?s signing bonus, if he is suspended for violating the substance-abuse policy (which covers DUI convictions). ?But the days of recovering large chunks of money in the event of an isolated act of misbehavior are long gone.

Given that the extent to which a rookie contract is guaranteed represents the only real item for negotiation in the fully-slotted first-round deals, it could be that the Jaguars insist on language that would extinguish any remaining salary guarantees, in the event that (for example) Blackmon has any future arrests or other violations of the substance-abuse policy. ?Article 4, Section 9(g) of the CBA expressly permits teams and players to ?negotiate the circumstances under which the guarantee of any unearned Salary . . . may be voided.?

So while the top 16 players now each receive fully-guaranteed four-year deals, Blackmon may have to agree to language that permits future guarantees to go away, which in turn would give the Jaguars flexibility if they decide to move on from Blackmon before he finishes four full NFL seasons with the team.

Still, apart from recovering money already paid or erasing the guaranteed nature of money to be paid in the future, the Jaguars have a much greater interest in nurturing Blackmon into a great player and an even better citizen, especially since they moved up in round one to get him. ?They need to make their next decisions regarding Blackmon with that important overriding objective in mind.

More advanced therapies are being aimed at cancer

CHICAGO (AP) ? New research shows a sharp escalation in the weapons race against cancer, with several high-tech approaches long dreamed of but not possible or successful until now.

At a weekend conference of more than 30,000 cancer specialists, scientists reported:

?New "smart" drugs that deliver powerful poisons directly to cancer cells while leaving healthy ones alone.

?A new tool that helps the immune system attack a broad range of cancer types.

?Treatments aimed at new genes and cancer pathways, plus better tests to predict which patients will benefit from them.

"I see major advances being made in big diseases" such as breast and prostate cancers, said Dr. Richard Pazdur, cancer drug chief at the federal Food and Drug Administration, which on Wednesday announced a new policy intended to speed breast cancer drugs to the market.

The field continues to move toward more precise treatments with fewer side effects and away from old-style chemotherapy that was "like dropping a bomb on the body," he said.

In fact, an emerging class of "smart bombs" was one of the most hopeful developments reported at the meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

These are two-punch weapons that combine substances called antibodies, which bond with specific cancer cells, and toxins that are too potent to be given by themselves. A chemical link holds them together until they attach to a tumor cell, releasing the poison inside it and killing the cell.

"This is a classic example of the magic bullet concept" first proposed more than 100 years ago but only now possible with advances in technology, said Dr. Louis Weiner, director of Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.

"The antibody basically targets this very toxic drug right to the cancer cell and places it inside the cancer cell where the drug can do its damage" without harming healthy cells nearby, he said.

On Sunday, a large study showed that one such drug ? Genentech's T-DM1 ? delayed the time until cancer got worse in women with very advanced breast cancer. The drug also seems to be improving survival, although it will take more time to know for sure. So far, women on the new treatment were living more than a year longer than a comparison group of women who were given two other drugs.

Dozens of similar "smart bomb" drugs are in development. On Monday, Pfizer Inc. plans to report on one it is testing for certain types of lymphoma and leukemia. Only one such drug is on the market now ? Adcetris, sold by Seattle Genetics Inc. for some less common types of lymphoma.

The other big news at the conference involved a very different approach: using the immune system to fight cancer. For more than a century, doctors have been trying to harness its power, but tumor cells have cloaking mechanisms that have kept the immune system from recognizing them as "enemy" and going on the attack.

Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. has developed two drugs ? one aimed at cancer cells and the other at key soldier cells of the immune system ? to remove one of these invisibility cloaks. Two studies involving nearly 500 people found some tumor shrinkage in up to one quarter of patients with lung and kidney cancers as well as the deadly skin cancer, melanoma. The treatments had less impact against colon and prostate cancer.

These are only early results ? not survival comparisons or definitive tests, doctors warn. More testing is needed to even establish safety. In one study, three patients died of a lung inflammation considered due to the treatment.

However, ordinary chemotherapy can prove fatal, too, said one study leader, Dr. Julie Brahmer of Johns Hopkins University.

"There were a few patients who had a complete remission" from the immune system treatments and most patients suffered few side effects, she said. "It's great to see patients feeling well. They don't have hair loss, they don't have a drop in blood counts and are not as prone to infections."

Dr. Roy Herbst, medical oncology chief at Yale Cancer Center in New Haven, Conn., was hopeful.

"I haven't seen anything this good" for many years for treating lung cancer, he said. "I'd be very surprised if there wasn't some benefit" on survival, said Herbst, who has consulted for the drug's maker.

Other doctors, including Pfizer's cancer drug development chief, Dr. Mace Rothenberg, noted progress on new diagnostic tests to predict which drugs will work for which patients. Cost, time and difficulty have kept many of them from being practical in everyday settings for cancer patients, but "a lot of these barriers are falling," Rothenberg said.

"Every time we say 'this technology is 5 to 10 years off, we've been wrong" and progress has come sooner, he said.

Student loan debt climbs high | Finance Enquiry - Latest Analyst ...

New York, June 1(FinanceEnquiry.com) ? Students in America are facing some rough time while paying their college and graduate school fee. The first quarter of 2012 saw total student loan debt growing more than 3% to $904 billion.

The reports by Federal Reserve Bank of New York suggest that student loan debt has been increasing ever since the year 2003, when it was $663 billion.

Where Americans have literally dwindled down other kinds of debts, students are asking for loans at regular intervals. Supporting the fact, senior economist, Donghoon Lee said that student loan is growing at a fast pace even as consumers are reducing mortgage debt and credit card balances.

The maximum comparison of student debt has been drawn with Household debt. While, the household debt had witnessed a fall and reduced to $1.5 trillion, since 2008, the student debt has risen by $293 billion at the same time.
