San Antonio Home Contractor 3
Being a contractor is like and unlike any other profession; you have to be born to do it successfully. If you do not have the right education or care enough about your quality it shows almost immediately and people will smell it on you like the half assed person you are trying to sell to them. Unfortunately too many people pull it off for far longer than should be possible which gives all of us "real" contractors a black eye in the industry. One of the only things setting a real company apart from the shysters is a BBB accreditation. For instance, most people have no idea that the decision to start framing houses on 24 inch centers as opposed to 16 inch centers was strictly a business decision to save up to 1/3 off a lumber package for framing the structure! We at Nagel Construction San Antonio still and always will frame your project on 16 inch centers using only top of the line lumber that is handpicked for choice selection. We build your home like we would ours. We have families also so we build your addition or home for your great grand children not just for you to enjoy. We use pressure treated base plates to avoid water deterioration that so often occurs as commonly takes place at the slightest presence of water. Anyone can build a temporary building but not too many build for generations. Another thing most people do not know is the timber used nowadays is swiftly grown and farmed for optimum maturity which makes it ready for harvest much earlier than the old growth trees of olden times. That is why old houses from the 40s and 50s were so much stronger than the tract homes of current times. The lumber was much denser and it was "true" lumber, a 2x4 was really 2x4 and so on…
Bottom line is research your contractor very well and make sure the quality is in his past as well as his future. Your home is usually your largest investment in your life and you should always protect it as such. If you are like the rest of us you plan on leaving it behind to your loved ones when you are gone so you want all improvement to be flawless for the future generations to enjoy! I don't know about you but when I cease to exist I do not want my family to look back on anything I did in this lifetime and go well that was constructed wrong or I wonder why he designed it like that. I have had one motto with Nagel Construction since 1985 with all my workers,"Either the job is right or the job is all wrong! There is no grey area. Either you do it right or you did it wrong and that is never an option!". As long as any project in life you take on head on is done to the utmost of your perfection you will never go wrong. Take pride in your project and only deal with the industry leaders when it comes to your homes integrity, do it for your family and loved ones who will have it one day. They will be glad you took the time to call Nagel construction / San Antonio Painting Contractor A BBB accredited business with your interest always at the forefront of all we do.
