Precision paints the town You know Precision Painting & Waterproofing as the residential painting division of Croom Construction Company. But lately Precision is branching out with additional commercial work. With contracts in progress or just completed for three large multi-family communities, Precision couldn’t be busier. Exterior painting is ongoing at Harbor Isles, a 26-building condo community on south Hutchinson Island. Work also progresses at Southwinds, a 15-unit condo building within The Moorings. And recently completed is The Fountains, oceanfront on A1A. This project consisted of 10 villas, two condo buildings, pool house and other structures.

“We’ve been very happy with our decision to hire Precision. They are professional in every way,” said John Lovkey, President, The Fountains Condominium Association. Precision has been successful in bidding these projects against larger painting contractors from the Miami market. Not only is it a testament to the quality and value for money Precision delivers, but it also is an economic stimulus for our local economy. “We’ll always be available for quality residential painting,” said James Choquet, General Manager. “These larger exterior jobs help us broaden our business base and keep our crew working throughout the year.”

smartmove #17 Do you have a photo inventory of your home’s contents? You should. In the event of a loss, a photo inventory will make the claim process with your insurance company go much more smoothly. Inventory your home’s contents yourself with a digital still or video camera, or Whitehall can assist you with a professional service. There are even software programs that can help. Whichever way you go, don’t delay.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, lint-clogged dryer vents cause more than 15,000 fires a year. If your clothes are taking too long to dry, it’s time to get your dryer vent and exhaust duct cleaned. Frequency of cleaning depends on your dryer usage; at least once a year is a good rule of thumb. Whitehall cleans dryer vents as a regular maintenance item.
