Preparing Your Kitchen For Remodeling

Remodeling the kitchen is very much a hype these days. This is because there are a number of people who found out how remodeling their kitchen will makeover the look of their homes.
However, it is very important for people to know that kitchen remodeling is something that cannot be done immediately.
This is because you have to check a lot of things first before putting the design plan that you want and you can group them into two things. First is the plan itself then the physical factor.
In terms of the plan, you have to think first of the design that you want. Would you like to have a kitchen with high end gadgets and appliances? Would you like to go natural? Or are you just someone who would like to have a functional yet convenient kitchen?
You have to plan the original theme that will fit your needs. After the design, you have to think of the appliances that you may want to include in your kitchen theme. Overall, think every detail that you want to see in your kitchen.
For the physical part like the kitchen itself, it is now time for you to check the current look of the kitchen. Check the layout of your dream kitchen design then your current kitchen. With this, you have to see whether you have to build another part of your kitchen for the layout. Some kitchen layout would require an island on the middle part of the kitchen.
In relation to the layout, you also have to take note of your kitchen’s space. Will the layout suitable for your needed design fit on your current kitchen size? If not, you may consider to have a part of the kitchen torn down prior to starting the project. If tearing down a part is not possible, you may consider changing the kitchen layout to the one that will fit your kitchen. This will help you save from tearing down the place but you may not be able to achieve the design that you want.
For this however, you may ask some assistance from Kevin Shaw Plumbing, Inc. as they may help you to have other option that will match your current kitchen size if your layout is not possible. They are very much knowledgeable with these that they can give you a lot of suggestions that are also within your allotted budget and preference.

5 Steps To A Beautiful Kitchen !
Filed under: Home Improvement, Home maintenance, Home remodeling, Plumber, Plumbers, San Gabriel Valley Contractor, Tankless Water Heater, Uncategorized, Water Filtration Systems, Water Heater
If new cabinets are a stretch on your budget, cabinet re-facing can be a good solution for you.
You have a few options here… veneer refinishing can result in a great look, but can be tricky if you’re not a pro; painting, staining and bleaching take time but are relatively simple if you know how to do it. We’re going to focus on these last three methods. Let’s get started!
Step 1 – First things first – use stickers to number all the cabinet doors. You’ll be glad you did this when it’s time to re-hang the cabinet doors! Next, remove all the doors, along with the hinges and hardware. The grunge around the hinges will give you a good idea what your next job is going to be – heavy duty cleaning!
Step 2 – You may have years of built-up cooking grease to remove. The best way to remove the grease build-up is to use a product like TSP Cleaner or mineral spirits. Or you can use this home-made wood cleaner: mix 1-quart boiling water with 3 tbsp linseed oil and 3 tbsp turpentine. Use a steel wool pad to thoroughly clean the doors, along with all visible cabinet surfaces. To be on the safe side, work outdoors when possible.
Step 3 - Lightly sand the doors and then wipe off the dust. For a superior finish, repeat step 2 and leave to dry for at least 24 hours.
Step 4 – If you’re painting or staining, you can now fill in any small dents with wood filler. When the filler is completely dry, sand over the filled areas and remove the dust with a tack cloth.
Step 5 – This step will depend on which of the three following methods you’ve chosen:
Wood bleaching: Use wood bleach and follow the manufacturer’s directions. Follow up with polyurethane or another finish of your choice.
Staining: Apply stain and follow up with a sealer. Be sure to follow product directions.
Painting: Apply an appropriate primer and finish with two topcoats. For durability, a high-gloss alkyd spray makes a great choice.
Final step – Re-attach hinges and doors. While you’re at it, why not replace your cabinet hardware? New pulls or knobs can make all the difference!
Good Luck with your project

New Lighbulbs Save Money!
Filed under: Home Improvement, Home maintenance, Home remodeling, Plumber, Plumbers, San Gabriel Valley Contractor, Tankless Water Heater, Uncategorized, Water Filtration Systems, Water Heater
Electric lighting accounts for 19 percent of the world’s electricity use, producing almost as much greenhouse gas as half the cars on the planet. New light bulbs can help.
* CFLs: Compact fluorescent lamps use a third as much energy as incandescents. New styles contain much less mercury and have a pleasing light.
* New incandescents: Philips new Halogena line uses 30 percent less energy than traditional incandescents, enough to meet government standards that take effect in 2012.
* LEDs: The leading companies are fighting to release traditional-bulb-shaped LEDs (light emitting diodes) that last five to 10 times as long as CFLs, contain no mercury and use much less energy. They use 6 watts to match the output of a 60-watt incandescent.
Lennin Lighting’s Pharox bulb costs $50 online right now, but the price will come down in the future.

Winterize your Home
Filed under: Home Improvement, Home maintenance, Home remodeling, Plumber, Plumbers, San Gabriel Valley Contractor, Tankless Water Heater, Uncategorized, Water Filtration Systems, Water Heater
Here’s how to stay warm this winter and save on heating and repair costs. Outside: Clean the gutters so ice dams don’t form and cause damage.
Replace cracked caulk around roof vents and around the chimney.
Install a chimney cap to keep critters and objects from dropping in. A cap will keep rainwater from dripping down into the fireplace.
Put door sweeps on those that don’t connect with the threshold. Use caulk around windows and doors as needed or masonry sealer on brick.
Rake away debris and weeds from the foundation and seal any cracks. Install a plastic cover on the crawlspace access door and seal some of the vents.
In the garage: Clear enough space to put your car inside on very cold nights. Check your snowblower and generator to be sure that they run. Buy a new snow shovel if you need one and have a bag of ice-melt on hand.
In the crawlspace: Wrap exposed pipes with premolded foam rubber sleeves or fiberglass insulation. If pipe freezing is a significant problem for you, wrap the pipes with heating tape. Be sure it is activated in cold weather.
Check heat ducts for air leaks, whether they are in the crawlspace, attic or basement, so all the heat goes through the vents. Fix any breaks or gaps with metal-backed tape.
In the attic: If you can see the ceiling joists, add insulation. Don’t use paper-backed, which can cause moisture problems, say experts at MSN Real Estate.
In the house: Get the furnace checked and the central air conditioning unit winterized at the same time.
Be sure the fireplace damper isn’t open unless you make a fire. Woodstoves should have glass doors that are closed when the stove is not in use.
Install socket sealers over unused electrical outlets on outside walls, and reverse ceiling fans so they push warm air forward and force it to circulate.

Kevin Shaw Plumbing, Inc.’s Solution to A Power Outage
Filed under: Home Improvement, Home maintenance, Home remodeling, Plumber, Plumbers, San Gabriel Valley Contractor, Tankless Water Heater, Uncategorized, Water Filtration Systems, Water Heater
With all the rain falling from the sky and hearing about several power outages in the Los Angeles area, I thought I would comment about the proper use of portable generators. Did you know that Kevin Shaw Plumbing, Inc. can install a portable electrical generator for you home?
There are several types available. There are units that run on gasoline, propane and units that use natural gas.
The “natural gas” units are the type I prefer. We can connect a natural gas generator to you gas meter and have it power all or part of your home in case of a power outage. Call us to discuss the benefits of each type.
Here are some guidelines for The National Safety Council offers these suggestions when using a portable generator:
* Keep the generator outside and away from windows and vents. Never use one in a home, garage, crawl space or shed even with windows open.
* Consult and follow directions in the operator’s manual each time you power up the generator.
* Keep the generator out of moisture and puddles to avoid shock or electrocution.
* Use a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector at the spot in your home nearest to the generator.
* To prevent fire, let the generator cool for at least two minutes before you add gasoline. Use fresh gas.
* Never run your generator next to anything that could explode or catch fire.
* Don’t plug a generator directly into a wall outlet. Instead, have a licensed electrician install a power transfer switch. (Connecting the generator to a permanent wiring system back-feeds the power into your home. It’s a danger to you, neighbors and utility workers.
* Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guide to make sure your generator runs properly.

Hey California Residents. Are You Ready For The Big One?
Filed under: Home Improvement, Home maintenance, Home remodeling, Plumber, Plumbers, San Gabriel Valley Contractor, Tankless Water Heater, Uncategorized, Water Filtration Systems, Water Heater

General Emergency Preparedness:
It is really sad to see what has happened in Haiti. After a major incident, there’s a good chance that public safety services will be busy handling emergencies. Your best defense is to be prepared at all times.
Before an Emergency:
Be prepared. Know where your gas meter is located. Even in the case of an earthquake or other emergencies, turn off your gas meter ONLY if you smell gas or hear gas leaking.
Better yet, make sure your home is equipped with earthquake Activated gas shut off valve from Kevin Shaw Plumbing, Inc.
To help prevent your water heater from moving or toppling in an earthquake, strap it firmly to the wall studs in two places — the upper and lower one-third of the tank — with heavy bolts and metal tape. Be sure to place the lower strap at least 4 inches above the thermostat controls. Fill out our handy dandy on-line order form here, or give us a call @ 626-359-1864.
Make sure that all semi-rigid aluminum or copper gas connectors have been upgraded with approved flexible metal appliance connectors.
Check safety devices, such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, to ensure that they are functioning properly. Have extra batteries available.
Check your furnace and other gas appliances for safe operation. Call us @ 626-359-1864 to make any needed repairs.
Emergency Plan:
Most of us have at one time or another thought about what we would do in the event of an emergency. Unfortunately, too many of us never go beyond just thinking about it. Even worse, some people believe having stored food supplies and a few thoughts about what they would do in an emergency is being prepared. The truth is without formalizing your thoughts on how you want to approach various emergencies you are not prepared. In other words, being prepared means not only having supplies but having a written plan that includes training and practice. Developing a written plan not only organizes your thoughts it also provides a systematic and repeatable approach to emergencies. It’s also an excellent tool for training and practicing.
Your plan should be tailored to meet your specific situation and the special actions required to meet specific types of emergencies. For example, what action should be taken in the event of a fire versus an earthquake or flood. Here are a few examples of emergencies for you to consider:
— House or wild fire
— Flooding
— Earthquake
— Intruder
— School or work emergency
— Large chemical spills near your neighborhood
Create an emergency plan for your family, identifying two places for the family to meet.
#1 a place outside your home
#2 a spot away from your neighborhood in case you can’t return home.
Practice the plan with your family, including your children
Make sure your children are aware of the routes away from home.
Develop a plan for family pets and livestock. Evacuation shelters may not allow animals.
Plan safe routes away from your home and business to high, safe ground.
Designate a friend outside the area who family members can call if separated.
Review the emergency plans at your workplace, your children’s school or daycare center and other places where members of your family regularly spend time away from home.
Review and update your plan, as needed, at least annually.
Keep current important documents in a safe-deposit box.
Know if your home is in an area at risk of flooding or landslide.
Check the condition of your roof.
Clean debris from drains around your home or yard.
Emergency Supply checklist:
Now is the time to stock up on at least 72 hours worth of emergency supplies that add to your safety and comfort during and after an earthquake.
Below are some essential items to include in your emergency preparedness kit:
Bottled water – three day supply of bottled water (one gallon per person, per day)
First-aid kit, handbook, and essential medications
Packaged, dried or canned food and any special diet items
Special provisions for babies, elderly, disabled family members, and pet
Non-electric can opener
Blankets or sleeping bags
A portable radio, flashlight, batteries and light sticks
Extra eyeglasses and sets of house and car keys
Fire extinguisher –A-B-C type
Rubber boots, rain poncho,
Plastic trash bags
Sturdy pair of shoes, warm clothing and personal hygiene items
Cash
After an Emergency
DO NOT turn off your meter unless you smell gas or hear gas leaking.
Contact a licensed contractor or your gas company to relight any gas appliances or pilot lights that are out. Do not turn gas back on by yourself.
It is recommended that a shut-off valve be installed at every gas appliance. If a leak occurs at a specific appliance, the valve will permit you to turn off the gas at the appliance rather than shutting off all gas service at the meter. Some valves require a wrench to turn them.
Check your water heater and furnace vents. If the venting system becomes separated during an earthquake, it could leak hazardous fumes to your home. Signs of an improperly vented appliance may include moisture on the inside of windows or an unusual odor when the appliance is in operation.
DO NOT use any electrical appliances until you’re sure there are no gas leaks.
Keep informed of the situation through local radio and TV.
If evacuation is necessary, prepare an evacuation kit, including personal hygiene items, change of clothes, bedding and medication, if possible. Food, shelter and first aid are available at shelters.
If it is safe to do so, check on your neighbors, especially elderly and disabled persons.
Use the telephone only for family emergency needs or to report unsafe or dangerous conditions.
Do not use 911 unless you have a life-threatening emergency.
Avoid unnecessary trips. If you must travel during an emergency, dress in warm, loose layers of clothing and sturdy shoes. Advise others of your destination.
Use flashlights — NOT lanterns, matches or candles — to examine buildings. Flammable gases may be inside.
Follow instructions of local authorities regarding the safety of drinking water. If in doubt, boil or purify water before drinking or call public health officials.
Avoid “sightseeing” in disaster areas. You may hamper rescue efforts or place yourself in danger.
Earthquake Preparedness
Do a Home “Hazard Hunt.”
Walk through your rooms and look for things that could fall when shaken. Identify good places to “duck ,cover and hold” (see below). Even though you may not be able to secure every item you believe could fall, at least you will have identified the safe and unsafe areas of your home. Their fresh eyes can often find things you miss.
Practice your “Duck, Cover and Hold.”
Duck or drop to the floor, take cover under a sturdy desk or table, and hold onto it. If you have children, teach them how to “duck, cover and hold”, and be sure to practice it with them often.
During an Earthquake
Duck or drop to the floor, take cover under a sturdy desk or table, and hold onto it so that it doesn’t move away from you. Wait there until the shaking stops.

Home Handymen Takes Risks !!!!
Filed under: Home Improvement, Home maintenance, Home remodeling, Plumber, Plumbers, San Gabriel Valley Contractor, Tankless Water Heater, Uncategorized, Water Filtration Systems, Water Heater
Before climbing a ladder to fix the roof or sharpening a knife to cut floor tile, it would be wise to consider whether the risk is justified.
It will cost more to hire a plumber, roofer or contractor to do the job, but in the long run, it could save money and pain. Unless you are experienced and physically capable of doing these jobs, you could end up in the ER.
The American College of Emergency Physicians reports a significant increase in injuries from do-it-yourself projects in the past year. Injuries included:
* People who accidentally shot themselves with a nail gun;
* Those who broke a bone or suffered a brain when they fell off the roof while doing minor repairs;
*People who had eye injuries;
*A person who cut off his thumb while cutting tile.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommends that homeowners consider the risks before starting a project. They should evaluate their skill level first.
There’s another reason for getting professional help for a remodeling project. The end result will be better, sometimes a lot better. And the cost of repairing a mistake could cost more than hiring a professional.
Paul Zuch, president of the National Association for the Remodeling Industry, says hiring a contractor is also a better bet because it gives homeowners someone to blame if the project doesn’t turn out as they hoped.
Otherwise, they can only blame themselves.

Tips For Around Your Home
Filed under: Home Improvement, Home maintenance, Home remodeling, Plumber, Plumbers, San Gabriel Valley Contractor, Tankless Water Heater, Uncategorized, Water Filtration Systems, Water Heater
Much to the surprise of some homeowners, not all wood floors should be waxed! The key is knowing the difference between what type of wood floor should or should not be waxed.
The only types of wood floors that should be waxed are those that contain a penetrating resin or a wax finish. Not sure what type of finish you have? Here’s an easy test. In an inconspicuous place, try smudging the floor with your finger or thumb. If the floor smudges, you can apply a wax buffer.
Floors that have a polyurethane-type finish should not be waxed. Wax will not adhere to polyurethane. If a polyurethane floor is waxed, the floor may have to be sanded down to remove all remnants of the wax.
If you have a non-polyurethane floor, you can wax it to bring back that like-new shine. Two of the best floor wax products on the market today are Butcher’s Wax and Bruce’s Wax. These two brands will give your floor a high shine!
Carefully follow the instructions on the container. If need be, you may have to apply two coats of wax to get the desired shine.
And, if you have a polyurethane floor, the best cure for a lackluster shine is to simply have the floor re-finished.
To help maintain the shine on your floor, vacuum often and use throw rugs in high traffic areas.

A modern day miracle? Not at all. In fact, the concept and reality of “instant hot water” has been around for quite some time…it’s just that most people don’t know about it. So now, at least, we can correct that little problem.
With a Comfort Series Instant Hot Water System from Kevin Shaw Plumbing, Inc. you’ll enjoy hot water from the moment you turn on the hot water tap at any source in your home. In the process, you’ll save up to 16,000 gallons of water each year and use less energy than it takes to run a 25-watt light bulb…to say nothing of the tremendous ecological benefit that goes along with it.
This system is actually a re-circulating pump that attaches directly to your present water heater, and requires no additional wiring or electrical expense. The pump keeps the water in your pipes moving, resulting in a constant availability of hot water without the wait or the waste!
