Houston Hot Tub Buying and Disposal Guide

If you’re living in a Houston home with a hot tub that means either you had it installed or you inherited the tub from the previous owner. If that hot tub was once in working order and you had a chance to dip into the warm waters then you know how soothing and relaxing that can be. Perhaps it’s time to swap out that old hot tub for new, improved model. As you go shopping for a hot tub you’re going to run across variations of a spa, hot tub, Jacuzzi or a whirlpool.
What would be the best choice for you?
A spa is referred to a contain water tub that has several heated power jets that blast muscle relaxing streams of water. The typical spa is made out of either fiberglass or acrylic with the acrylic version offering up a longer life. Traditionally hot tubs are made of wood with a kind of liner inside to hold the water. You can still have the same kind of powerful jet action in a hot tub that you would get in a spa but without the contoured seating. As for the whirlpool this has less to do with the specific brand as it does with the specific action. Although you might refer to this as a Jacuzzi, that is actually the brand name of a company that makes whirlpool baths. You can get that same whirlpool action in any hot tub.
You also have a choice of placement for your new hot tub. Just like a swimming pool this can either be above ground or built into the ground. With built-in pools many homeowners opt to have a hot tub built right on as an extension of the pool. Obviously this would mean the hot tub is less about wood and more about concrete. There are some folks that even have a hot tub set up indoors. If you’re considering this option it makes more sense to have this in a basement or ground floor. Either way should always check with the constructional engineer first before installing.
A hot tub is made hot either through electric powered heaters or gas heaters. They also come equipped with underwater lights and seating arrangements several folks. The bigger the hot tub the bigger the hot tub party!
Before you lock down that new hot tub you’re going to have to get rid of the old version. This can be easily accomplished by hiring a junk hauling company like Junk King Houston that specializes in hot tub disposal. There are many moving parts in a hot especially a freestanding one. The junk hauling team will have to dismantle the outer frame, take apart the motor, and break down the tub itself. This is definitely not a one-man operation. It’s also going to require a rather large truck to cart off all the disassembled pieces. You could accomplish this on your own but it will mean loading up your own car or truck with the scraps of the hot tub and take it to the nearest landfill. Do you even know where landfill is around Houston? It’s best to leave it to the pros.

Houston Foreclosure Clean Out

A scan of national newspapers or the evening news shows will reveal that we’re a long way from getting out of the housing mess that started all the financial woes in this country. However, when you look closer to a city by city accounting there are some signs of improvement. For instance by all indications it appears that the Houston housing market is leveling out. Leveling out is a lot better than bottoming out. Yet with house prices stabilizing there are still many other homes that are in danger of slipping into foreclosure along with the thousands of homes that are already in foreclosure. Smart real estate investors will know that there is gold in those foreclosed homes.
A bank that owns the title to those foreclosed deeds considers it a toxic asset and that is something that they want removed from their books as quickly as possible. This is why so many investors are jumping into the foreclosed home market. They know they can make a quick purchase and potentially quicker sale for a profit. The big issue is getting the house ready for a sale.
If you’re thinking about getting into the foreclosed home market you may find yourself visiting many properties that are in an extreme state of distress. This could be due to the simple fact that the previous homeowners abandoned the property to let it sit without care. You know if you leave something alone long enough it’s going to start to deteriorate this is especially true for a house. Even letting the lawn go without mowing could quickly have you overrun with weeds. If plumbing is left unattended the pipes can seize up or crack and cause major flooding. Just the simple act of opening a window to let in some fresh air can mean a lot.
However, if there is a house that is been left alone to bake in the hot Houston sun is no telling what has been growing inside. If you should happen to step inside one of these properties don’t be dissuaded from the potential mess. You can get plenty of help with a professional foreclosure clean out crew.
A foreclosure cleanup crew like Junk King Houston will do all the dirty work of cleaning up all that dirt. While you’re preparing your own marketing materials and lineup potential buyers this cleanup crew can be pulling down dusty drapes, scooping up bags of garbage and giving the house a thorough top to bottom cleaning. At the very least they’ll be able to immediately any potential threat to your sale. This could still leave you with some dreary looking walls and floors but at least the bulk of the garbage can be removed.
There could be many improvements you can make the foreclosed home to increase its sales value but first you need to clean. If you know you’re going to paint it then it’s just a matter of clearing out the clutter without worrying about the floors for now. An experienced foreclosure cleanup crew will know just how to tackle project.

Houston Junk Recycling – Dinner, Buildings and Household Items

Recycling can take on many forms. Technically, when you have leftovers after Thanksgiving you are recycling that turkey dinner. In other words, you’re repurposing it and reusing that food again which is the heart of recycling. In Houston, there is a trend towards recycling old buildings and making them into useful new structures. Obviously, there is plenty of land around Houston. If a developer wants to put up a new bunch of offices or apartment they’ll just buy a lot and start building. However, with so many fine example of architecture and design still standing, there is no reason why they can’t be recycled, repurposed and reused.
You can see examples of this cropping up all over the inner Loop neighborhoods like EaDo, The Heights and the Warehouse District. A perfect example of this kind of building recycling can be found in the Alexan Lofts.
The true definition of a loft is a converted warehouse floor. Over at the Alexan Lofts, the developers transformed six abandoned warehouses into 244 units. There are also upscale amenities like a pool, WiFi, pine floors, exposed brick walls and 16 foot high ceilings. Another example could be the hip Down House which turned an old bank into this trendy restaurant. What’s cool is that they have incorporated the original building’s history and design elements into their own environment.
Most of us won’t have the opportunity to recycle an entire building, but that doesn’t mean we can’t pitch in to help Houston recycle other things like paper, plastics and aluminum. Those are actually the easy items to recycle. But what about the bigger pieces like major kitchen appliances or furniture? While it is true those can be stuffed into your municipal recycling bin they can still be properly disposed of if you call in the pros.
In this case, the “pros”  are the professional junk haulers like Junk King Houston who specialize in recycling large items. It’s good when you can separate your trash, but that means it all ends up going to the same place for sorting. With the bigger items there are dedicated recycling facilities which can handle breaking down a piece to its core components. For instance, with a sofa you could have wood, fabric, metal and cushioning. All of those are separate elements that need to be sent off to different plants for repurposing. There are other big items like mattresses, old stoves and even car parts that can all be destined for the recycling heap.
When you hire a professional crew like Junk King you can depend on them showing up at the agreed upon time and having a truck large enough to take away all your junk. Before you throw out anything big ask yourself, “Can that be recycled?” Then call in the pros! It sure beats loading up your car and looking for the many recycling centers around Houston. You’ve got better things to do with your time like head to the inner Loop for some good times!

Houston Junk Removal

A person could spend their entire life in Houston and not even know some of the fun facts that make this city such a gem. First of all, according to the U.S. Census Bureau Houston is the fourth most populous city in the country following New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. It’s also the largest city in the south and in Texas; so take that Dallas! As an official city, Houston was founded way back in 1836 and covers around 8,778 square miles. That’s pretty close to the entire state of Massachusetts.
If Houston was its own country, it would come in at number 30 on the list of the world’s largest economies. What’s interesting about folks in Houston is that they dine out more often than any other city in the country. This translates into over 11,000 restaurants, cafes, bistros and b-b-q joints all across the city. Houston also has a 17 block theater district and is home to all kinds of museums and cultural centers. And let’s not forget about the colleges. There are 40 colleges and universities around Houston that offer a wide range of possible higher education options. Let’s face it; Houston has a lot going on.
Naturally, with all of this action and people there is going to be a lot of junk accumulated. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s part of human nature to collect things we end up throwing out. Some might call this being thrifty while others call it being a pack rat. Whatever designation you embrace, you probably aren’t alone when it comes to having piles of stuff that you could do without. When you’re ready to clear out the clutter, there is a new Houston business that will be standing by to help: Junk King Houston.
As you can guess by their title, Junk King is a leader in the junk removal business. They are a national franchise dedicated to helping folks reclaim all those attics, backyards, garages and closets from all the junk they’ve collected over the years. You might not think you have enough junk to hire a team of professional haulers. That only means you’re not thinking hard enough! Start with some old furniture you might want to get rid of. You can’t throw out a ratty sofa into the garbage, right? That needs to be hauled away. Now, add to that all those boxes of papers and magazines that you don’t have to hold onto any more. Go through your garage. Are there spare auto parts, rusted fenders or tires just sitting there collecting dust? What about the backyard? Do you have piles of wood scraps, fallen tree limbs or scrub brush? All of those items can be loaded up onto the Junk King Houston truck and taken away. And just think that long list started with one sofa!
Junk King Houston crews are fully licensed and insured. This means you’ll be inviting a team of professional haulers into your Houston home and you won’t have to worry about anything other than what you’re going to do with all that empty space!
