Take Care Of Appliance Removal Today

There are only two reasons why you should ever see a big kitchen appliance on a back porch. Either the kitchen flooring is being replaced or the appliance is being replaced. You might be able to slide that stove or fridge out onto the porch while the floor is renovated. But when it comes to replacing that appliance, the porch is as far as it can go if you don’t have movers and a big truck. Fortunately, that can be provided with one call to Junk King Birmingham. They can handle your appliance removal with ease.

white-oven-26571-m

The first thing you have to do with appliance removal is to unhook the device. That’s simple enough until you’re dealing with a gas stove. You want to make sure that the hookups are turned off properly. Junk King can handle that. As for turning it back on, you should set up an appointment with the gas company to make sure there are no leaks. A fridge that has an ice maker has to be unhooked from the plumbing in back. Again, this is something that the crews from Junk King have a lot of experience with.

Once the appliance has been unhooked, it needs to be safely removed from the kitchen and out of the house without causing any scrapes or scratches. The Junk King teams have all kinds of techniques for this type of work from using dollies, straps or plain muscle. Again, they have the experience with this type of removal that can prevent any damage to floors or walls. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to be a successful junk hauling company for over 12 years.

Many appliances can be recycled. Where they should be dropped off is something Junk King has already worked out. They could either be melted down at a recycling center or refurbished at a charity that specializes in that kind of work. Either way, that drop off helps protect the environment and is all part of the Junk King service.

Do you have anything else you want to get rid of besides the kitchen appliance? It can be loaded onto the same truck load. To take care of the problem with appliance removal and junk hauling, put Junk King Birmingham on the job and the problem will be solved.

Smart Tips For First-Time Homebuyers

The decision to buy a home should never be a fast one. Even if you make that commitment today, it might take several months before you’re actually ready to start applying for a loan. Of course, you could also have been planning to buy a home since your wedding day or first day on a new job. Any chance you get to save money, will help you get ready. Here are some other smart tips for first-time homebuyers:

architecture-1836070_1280

Skip Auctions, Foreclosures and Bank Sales

For house flippers who have a lot of cash on hand, buying a foreclosed home at a bank sale or auction might make sense. What about first-time homebuyers? Yes, you might be able to find a property that is 20% under market value. However, the money you save on the purchase could be put right back in to make repairs. Too often these homes have been the subject of neglect. If the previous occupant didn’t have the money for a mortgage payment, they certainly didn’t have the money for repairs. You can still look at foreclosed property but unless you get a thorough inspection and the option to back out, don’t be tempted but something that is probably too good to be true.

Visit 20 Properties in Person

Thanks to online real estate sites, you could literally look through dozens if not hundreds of properties in an afternoon but that’s not the same as seeing them in person. Those online sites might help you put together a “favorites” list but you should expect to visit at least 20 homes before making a decision. Will you fall in love with the first one? Maybe and if it looks good, make an offer but then don’t drive yourself crazy continuing the search.

Look Everywhere

When you test drive a car, you check all the features, adjust the seat to your liking and even peek in the trunk. You should take this same approach with house hunting. Go into every room and spend a few minutes in each. Try out doors and drawers. Go down into the basement and up in the attic. Turn lights on and off. And walk the yard boundaries, too. Just be sure to separate cosmetic fixes from structural. You can repaint and wall but a musty smell in the basement means trouble.

After you’ve closed on your house, it’s time to start packing. This is when you want to schedule a session with Junk King Birmingham. They’re not going to help you pack as much as help you “not pack.” That means not packing old junk. All of that needs to stay out of your moving truck and your new home. First-time homebuyers should always put Junk King Birmingham to work for the junk move out before the big move in.

Get Kids Ready For A New School

All across the country kids are getting ready to go back to school and parents are cheering. For many kids, that return to school will mean seeing old friends in familiar settings. For some, it might mean starting in a completely new environment. Here is some good advice on how to get your kids ready for a new school:

bus-1450027

New School Words

Along with everything else that will be new, your kids might be exposed to some new vocabulary on that first day of a new school. This is especially true when a preschooler is making the transition to kindergarten. It might help to come up with a list of words like register, assembly, bell or even principal that you can explain to your child before school begins.

Role Play

It might help to practice some role-playing with your kids when it comes to meeting new classmates. They should be comfortable asking other kids what their name is and what kinds of things they like to play with.

Asking For Help

Whenever the opportunity arises, you should encourage your child to ask for help. This can start with engaging clerks at a store or tour guides at the zoo. This will help build up their confidence and get them used to asking teachers for help in their new school.

Get to Know Your Child’s Teacher

It is vital that you establish a positive relationship with your child’s teacher. There should be periodic meetings to track progress throughout the year. There is also drop off and pick up times that you can check in with how your little one is doing. Also, ask the teacher if there is anything you can contribute to the class like snacks or craft supplies. This is going to be a very important relationship.

Stay Organized at Home

It will probably take a few days to get the morning routine sorted out. It will help if  you’re organized there as well with regard to packing lunches, having school outfits picked out the night before and being prepared for any weather situations like rain. All of that means getting rid of clutter in order to make it easier to find things. That is where Junk King Birmingham comes into play. You show the Junk King crew all the things that are cluttering up your home and they quickly cart it out of your house. It is just that simple. Kick off your back to school prep with a decluttering session from Junk King Birmingham and everyone wins!
