Dear Mr. Lassiter:
I want to thank you for the professional job you recently
completed on my roof. The work was done quickly and completely
with a thorough cleanup of the job site when finished. And I am
sure that the installation of the ridge vents will help reduce my energy
cost. The new roof really looks attractive and I am sure will
last quite a long time. Thanks again. Sincerely yours,
Robert J. Leonpacher, DVM

Keeping Your Budget in Line |
| Once you've decided how
much you can afford to spend fulfilling your remodeling dreams, the
real challenge is making sure you stick to this budget. So, how can
you prevent your expenses from spiraling out of control?
Plan on spending only 80 percent of what you can afford. Put the
additional 20 percent in reserve to cover changes, unforeseen
problems, and miscellaneous charges.
Remember that anything not included in the original contract will cost
extra. It's very easy to start tacking on hundreds and even thousands
of dollars in change orders that will break both your budget and your
timeline.
Stay focused on the task at hand and stick to the project you have
planned. |
