EXCEEDING THE EXPECTED

By Gabby Gregory

Voted

the #1-rated pressure washing company in Martin County by Hometown News’ readers, Titan Pressure Washing will most de nitely exceed your expectations! e owners of the business, husband and wife duo Casey & Sarah Wyatt, are passionate perfectionists who are dedicated to ensuring that you receive top-quality service every time. It’s no wonder, then, that Titan’s clients rave about their experiences with the business, saying things like, “My roof looks brand new,” and “I didn’t know my driveway could get this clean!”

Titan Pressure Washing o ers premier services for residential, commercial, and industrial clients:

Pressure Washing

So Washing

Sealing

Tile Roofs

Concrete Surfaces

Pavers

e Expected

Did you know that the pressure washing and sealing industry is completely unregulated in Florida? Basically, being unregulated means that no license exists for these services, so anyone can just decide one day to buy a pressure washer and supplies from a big-box retailer, make a business card, and start “cleaning” and “sealing” homes and businesses. No wonder people

expect their pressure washing, so washing, and sealing services to result in roof damage, a damaged landscape and a shortlived solution! ese untrained contractors have no training in using the equipment necessary to perform the job properly. ey don’t know how to choose the correct chemicals for speci c jobs. And, perhaps most importantly, they have no training on how to properly walk on your roof.

Hiring an inexperienced and untrained individual to clean your roof not only puts your roof at risk of getting severely damaged, but you also put yourself at risk of having any insurance claim voided due to utilizing a negligent contractor to perform the work.

walk on your roof. You can rest assured that, with Titan Pressure Washing, your property is safe in good hands, especially since their “fully insured” policy actually covers your roof.

Raising the Bar

Titan Pressure Washing is here to raise the bar by providing a deep, comprehensive, longer lasting color-restoring clean (and seal)! A er all, Sarah and Casey explain, “You really shouldn’t be having to so wash your roof every 1-2 years. at’s what happens if you don’t get it all the rst time! If you’ve had it done right the rst time, then you can usually wait a little over 2, sometimes even 3, years.”

You can expect your property to look better than ever before not only because Titan’s experts maintain a thorough attention-to-detail, but also because they use customized chemicals for each and every project. at’s right, Titan’s cleaning and sealing chemicals are painstakingly adjusted to perfectly enhance the curb appeal of your own unique property!

Look out for anyone who tries to bring their heavy equipment onto your roof! “ e surface cleaner should NEVER be on your roof,” assure the Wyatts. A er all, did you know that over 80% of “fully insured” policies exclude roof coverage?

At Titan, on the other hand, their experienced professionals have been thoroughly trained to not only properly utilize the equipment, chemicals, and applicators, but also to access and

e chemicals that the business uses do not include chlorine, which causes damage to your roof, home, and even your driveway. Titan Pressure Washing also exclusively utilizes green, eco-friendly sealing products that have zero slip factor. e company even adheres to a 4-step protection process on each project to avoid unnecessary damage to your landscaping, as well as o ers even further optional protection upon request.

For sealing projects, Titan only uses penetrating products, which means that you don’t have to strip the sealant, like you would have to with a topical sealant, on the next occasion that you seal the same area. Furthermore, if there is a spot of damage on the sealed area, then Titan can, o entimes, simply come

Casey, Sarah, & Chris

back and re-seal only that damaged spot because they used a penetrating sealer. If they used a topical sealer, then they would have to redo the entire area, not just the damaged spot. Plus, topical sealers increase the risk of slipping and falling, whereas the penetrating sealer used by Titan has no slip factor, which is important for many residents in South Florida.

Additionally, Casey, who has 12+ years of experience in this industry, is onsite for each and every job to maintain premier quality control, while Sarah, as Operations Manager, promptly and professionally communicates with clients throughout the entire process. As an expert organizer, Sarah also ensures that the team always has extra time built into their weekly schedule for any urgent requests, such as HOA letters.

Community Contributions

Beyond their mission of comprehensively cleaning our community, the Wyatts, as passionate members of our locality, are dedicated to giving back to and getting involved with area initiatives. For example, they are active members and ambassadors

Chris & Casey

for e Stuart/Martin County Chamber of Commerce, as well as active members of the Jensen Beach Chamber of Commerce.

Sarah is also the Treasure Coast’s representative for Project 23 to Zero, which is a veteran-focused non-pro t 501(c)(3) organization that Sarah explains, “resolves veteran PTSD through neurofeedback therapy… without re-traumatizing the veteran.” She adds, “Veterans that go through the program achieve amazing results in resolving their suicidal ideations and related trauma.”

Supporting Project 23 to Zero is especially important to both Sarah and Casey. Casey himself is a veteran of the Army National Guard, and has lost veteran friends to suicide, while Sarah lost a family member to suicide. As such, the couple not only donates to Project 23 to Zero, but also raises awareness about the organization’s services for struggling veterans and their families.

Casey and Sarah encourage their clients to spread the word about the great work that Project 23 to Zero is doing,

as well as ask that they donate, if able, to the cause. “We are very proud,” the Wyatts state, “to not only represent them, but to now help them even more in their endeavors.”

e Titan Di erence

Plus, unlike others, the experts at Titan will always call back, show up, and do the job right. “We’re there to enhance the property value, how it looks, and your curb appeal,” the Wyatts assure, continuing, “And, we’re there to protect your home as if it was our own home… that’s really important to us.”

Experience e Titan Di erence for yourself! Your expectations are sure to be exceeded because Casey and Sarah both a rm, “Our clients are people we genuinely care about, and we’re just trying to make our community look better.”

Every 5,000 miles, like clockwork, you take your car to get its oil changed and tires rotated. It’s basic, routine maintenance, but that consistent attention and upkeep is vital for your vehicle to run e ciently, especially over a number of years. Your body, much like your vehicle, requires regular care and treatment to keep it healthy. And, again like your automobile, your body needs support from someone other than yourself, a professional who can guide it to achieving its utmost abilities and to retaining its peak performance.

Getting older, playing sports, or having a condition like sciatica or arthritis shouldn’t hold you back from living your life! You can feel like your younger self again, the one who didn’t feel any aches or pains when walking, running, jumping, or even sitting… all you have to do is visit Stretch Zone.

Drew Brees, former quarterback of the New Orleans Saints, is the newest partner at Stretch Zone who advocates for people to regularly get stretched. A er personally going to Stretch Zone for an assisted stretching session, Drew was impressed with the uniquely e ective and nationally accredited Stretch Zone Method®, which is administered by a highly-trained and Stretch Zone-certi ed stretch practitioner.

Here’s How It Works:

1.) Your rst session begins with lling out an intake form and having a consultation with your experienced and knowledgeable stretch practitioner. Based on your medical background and your personal goals, the stretch practitioner will personalize the ensuing 30-minute assisted stretching session to meet your individual needs.

On subsequent visits, you’ll simply do a check-in with the practitioner to update your medical pro le with any recent changes and/ or any new pain or discomfort that you might be experiencing.

2.) e stretch practitioner initiates the rst steps of the approved Stretch Zone Method®, utilizing Stretch Zone’s special patented straps to encourage your body to relax and ease into the stretches. You won’t nd these straps anywhere else! Comparable to a thunder jacket for your pets, they are meant to calm your mind so that your entire body is perfectly loose, thus allowing the stretch practitioner to stretch your body to its full potential and, as a result, provide you with both preventative maintenance and pain relief.

3.) Assisted stretching (a/k/a passive stretching) is di erent from physical therapy in that your body is being stretched by someone else; thus, you’re not actually doing any work. roughout your 30-minute session, the stretch practitioner will be steadily interacting one-on-one with you, ensuring that you are completely comfortable and not experiencing any pain. Ultimately, you are in control of the stretch, even as your practitioner guides your body through each

and every step, because you tell the practitioner when you feel your best stretching position. e more you communicate, the better results you’re going to get!

Take advantage of Stretch Zone’s incredible FREE 30 Minute Stretch Session! Anybody and everybody can and should be stretched.

In fact, one Stretch Practitioner I spoke with at Stretch Zone says, “98% of the people I see in front of me really need to be stretched. is is something you should not live without.”

Remember, it’s just like getting your oil changed! Plus, celebrities and professional athletes have been getting stretched for years, so it’s time for the general population to be clued into the secret!

Get your FREE 30 minute stretch for yourself or do it for a friend or loved one… what better way to say you care than to give the gi of making life easier, of feeling healthier, lighter, and younger, and of feeling like yourself again?

The Top 9 Benefits of Hurricane Impact Windows

1.) Stronger Protection and Greater Insulation from Storms Impact windows (a/k/a hurricane windows) are designed to withstand Category-5 hurricane winds (200-mph+). An interlayer is situated between two thick layers of glass, ensuring that absolutely no water, debris, and/or wind will enter your home to cause damage. Even if the outer glass of the window is somehow punctured, the glass is designed to crack in a spiderweb pattern, thus eliminating the possibility of the window blowing out entirely.

2.) Energy-Efficient

Hurricane windows seal off the interior of your home so well that your air conditioning bill can decrease. You don’t have to worry about your air, or your money, going out the window—literally.

3.) Less Time, Energy, and Anxiety

With alternative storm protection methods, you need to invest your time and energy preparing your home for the impending storm. This preparedness can cause you stress if something suddenly does not work or requires more than one person to work. Hurricane windows, on the other hand, are hassle-free and require no work on your part.

4.) Increased Lighting with UV Protection

In the event of a hurricane, with impact windows, you can rely on having natural light as a resource without compromising your security. Additionally, the glass has greater UV protection, so any light that does come through will not cause fading on your carpeting or furniture.

5.) Noise Reduction

Impact windows are thicker, so you can relax in your home without having to hear the hustle and bustle of the outside world... or any neighbors’ pets.

6.) Intruder Protection

By Gabby Gregory

If 200-mph winds cannot destroy hurricane windows, then burglars stand no chance! Would-be intruders will be disappointed to learn that your home has impact windows because there is little chance that they will be able to break them.

7.) Lower Insurance Rates

Your insurance company will be so excited to learn that you are giving your home the best protection possible that it will likely reduce your rates.

8.) Higher Property Values

Homes with hurricane windows have higher property values. If you ever sell your house in the future, you will attract buyers who are willing to pay more for the added protection.

9.) Made in the U.S.A.

Hurricane windows from Max Guard are crafted entirely in the United States of America. When you choose Max Guard impact windows, you are supporting the American workforce and economy!

So, what are you waiting for? Give the professionals at Max Guard a call today to find out more about how their hurricane windows will protect you, your family, and your home.

The new Max Guard Hurricane Windows showroom is located at 2257 Vista Parkway, Suite 28, in West Palm Beach. It is open Monday through Friday from 9AM to 6PM and Saturday 10AM to 2PM. For more information, please call 561-566-5MAX (5629) or visit MaxGuardHurricane.com.

For What It’s Worth

Life is becoming more and more di cult to navigate, it seems to me. Too many choices! Even the small stu ba es me at the grocery store, the drug store, home depot, Lowe’s and on and on. For example, I don’t know the last time any of you have gone into a home supply store to purchase a light bulb, which a few years ago was a no-brainer. Your bulb blew, you know the wattage you needed, you go to the store, pick the package up, the wattage was on the front, and check out was a cinch. Now, the row of light bulbs goes on forever, and I cannot ever understand what it is they are trying to sell me. Daylight, warm light, bug light, intense light, so light…etc. Indoor, outdoor, indoor/outdoor, clear glass, frosted glass…I know you know what I’m talking about!

When was the last time you went to the grocery store for a simple package of cookies? I spent een minutes wondering what kind of cookie I should chose, because the entire row is stu ed with every possible color, avor, thickness, and size. Gluten free, sugar free, crunchy, so …some which have also become cereals…that seems to be the latest trend…if you love your cookie, you can probably nd it in the cereal aisle, posing as breakfast, so you can have it with a bowl of milk for breakfast..

by Dr. Melfi, Ph.D.

For me, the worst is purchasing a mattress…Just when you’ve found a mattress you love, it’s time to change it for a new, less lumpy one, but the problem is, although the manufacturer may be the same, Sealy, Serta, Beauty Rest, etc. the name and style number of the mattress you love has been changed to a completely di erent name. When I asked about this, one salesperson said it is not uncommon for mattress names to be changed or eliminated, sometimes every six months, thereby causing immense confusion. As well, I don’t see how lying on a mattress in a showroom can possibly give you all the information needed in ve minutes, and it usually doesn’t. If I worked in a mattress store I would be completely bald from pulling my hair out, knowing full well that the mattress someone choses is going to be coming back in a month, and another one purchased. Imagine how ludicrous it is to spend ve minutes lying on a model, and eight hours sleeping in bed, tossing and turning, knowing you made the wrong decision and lying awake the rest of the night hoping for just one more chance…and that’s usually all you get…one more chance. If your second choice (usually a er having a miserable 30 days on the mattress before it can be exchanged) doesn’t work out…well, too bad. You’re stuck with it!

It’s the same with purchasing a car. Turn the clock back several decades to Ford, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Plymouth and a few others with perhaps a choice or two in each category. Now, there are a zillion cars, and sub-zillion models, to test drive, and you are expected to spend anywhere between twenty-thousand dollars to over one hundred thousand dollars for a car you might not even like a er a week or two. Not to mention, that if you’re purchasing a new car, the minute you drive it o the lot, it has depreciated! Yet, we all seem to accept this. ink of it. One of the major purchases aside from a house, is essentially made blind, and guaranteed to go down in value.

For What it’s Worth, this should not be the norm, and yet it is, for every household in America. It’s no wonder we’re all exhausted at the end of the day, hoping for rest. Unfortunately, many of us will not get a good night’s sleep on the mattress we bought!

PIZZA

Love at First Bite!

Bobby and Lisa Winch, owners of The Brick Oven Pizza Company, told Abby, Elaine, and me before we ate that “everything here is made with love.” It’s one thing to say something like that, but it’s another to prove it. Well, let me tell you, Bobby and Lisa went above and beyond in substantiating that claim, and I am now convinced that The Brick Oven is one of the best restaurants in this area.

We started with the cold antipasto salad, which the menu explained is large enough to feed 2-4 people. Well, it was not bbing. The salad was the Leaning Tower of Antipasto, piled high with artichoke hearts, black and Kalamata olives, mozzarella, roasted red peppers, mortadella, prosciutto, and more! The vegetables were fresh, the meat was deliciously salty, and the cheese was authentic Italian cheese that you can genuinely taste.

Next, both Elaine and Abby ordered medium cauli ower crust pizzas with various toppings. I selected the beggar’s purse. It came with the choice of either soup or salad, so I chose the soup of the day-- mushroom asiago.

The soup recipe, like many of the other menu options, is one that was passed down directly from Bobby’s Italian grandmother, and you can most de nitely tell. It was like liqui ed mushroom ravioli! There was a medley of avors-sweet, nutty, cheesy, earthy-- and it was thick, creamy, and brimming with meaty mushrooms. I wish I could meet Bobby’s grandmother so that I could shake her hand and congratulate her on being a culinary genius.

Abby’s and Elaine’s pizzas were loaded with their toppings. Elaine was so happy that she could have a nonbread crust, and said, “I’m on a Keto diet and was craving pizza. The cauli ower crust was beyond my expectations! I could not believe that it was really gluten-free and vegan!” Abby agreed, adding, “I wouldn’t have known it was cauli ower crust if I hadn’t ordered it myself. It was just as tasty and satisfying as regular pizza.”

The Brick Oven has great pizza, no question. But guys, their pasta is stellar too! The beggar’s purse is four cheese and pear stuffed pasta in a port wine cream sauce with sundried tomatoes and shiitake mushrooms. I speak with full sincerity when I say that it was the best pasta that I have eaten since moving

DiningOut Review

by Gabby Gregory

avors combined to create a completely unique, yet re ned dish that was sweet, stark, and dynamic. I was oored by it.

Lisa and Bobby were right... love goes into everything at The Brick Oven. The food is absolutely delectable! The Brick Oven Pizza Company is a hidden gem where you will nd homemade, authentic, gourmet Italian recipes that are one-of-a-kind. Honestly, I could go on and on about how amazing everything else is, like the real deal Italian rice balls, cannolis, and zeppoli. but I have a word count. So, simply I say-- you’ll nd love at rst bite when you dine at The Brick Oven Pizza Company!
