Is Your Contractor the Light in Your Day?

I saw this mural inside a thrift store the other day and thought it was pretty cool.

Not only is this contractor the light of everyone’s day, but…safety first!

He’s even wearing his safety goggles.

Case Study: Composite Boardwalk at the S.C. Botanical Gardens

I wanted to point out a beautiful outdoor project I saw the other day at the South Carolina Botanical Gardens located at Clemson University.

They have a large outdoor section that takes you through various climate zones and topography found in the Palmetto State. It includes the piedmont, palm trees and shell rings, and even a carnivorous plant habitat.

Weaving throughout all of this is a beautiful composite lumber boardwalk.

Maybe instead of a sidewalk or more concrete, this might be a great idea for you. If you need something like this to connect areas at your home or traverse a muddy area in the backyard, give us a call.

Here’s a sample of one of our composite projects-

Deck Collapse in Alabama

Decks collapse quite often, but rarely is the collapse caught on camera.

Click on the photo below to see this scary deck collapse at an apartment building in Alabama.

When decks do collapse, it’s usually from a major issue or a combination of factors, such as:

  1. Not built to code by licensed contractors
  2. Age and lack of maintenance
  3. Overloading

Why don’t you let us build or repair that deck for you?

If the following apply, give us a call-

  • You don’t trust your husband to do it safely
  • You’d rather not test your homeowner’s policy with a lawsuit from your guests
  • You’re not sure it’ll hold that hot tub, outdoor kitchen, or whatever
  • You want it done right without having to mess with the permits and stuff and want us to handle that
  • Your desk is old, and you’re just not sure about it
  • You don’t want your family crushed in a pile of wood and rusty nails because someone hired the cheapest guy to do it on the weekends

Seriuously. Just have us do an estimate before you get it done.

Our Retractable Awning prices are dropping!

I’ve got Good News and Bad News!

Let’s go with the good news first, because that’s always easier to handle.

Our Retractable Awning prices are dropping!

Because of some new partnerships with our awning manufacturer and faster install times with our crews, prices have gone down across the board on awnings and awning options.

This includes all awning lines, fabrics, and options like:

  • Sunbrella fabrics
  • Wind sensors
  • Rain sensors
  • LED lights
  • Everything!

We also have an entire new line of fabric colors to offer and a new extended projection option to give you even more shade!

You don’t have to install an awning either. If all you need is a rain sensor or something else, just call.

Call for an onsite estimate, or you’re welcome to drop by the showroom to see the awning we have on display.

*If you already have an awning estimate on file with us, and you’re still interested, call and we’ll requote it for you.

And now for the Bad News…

Prices on just about everything else have gone up.

It’s nothing crazy like supply chain issues or anything, but we get regular price increases from our suppliers. We absorb them as long as we can, but eventually, we have to raise our prices too.

I’m waiting until August to make any price changes on our end, so if you have an estimate already or get one from us and sign a contract on it before August 1st, we’ll stick to the current prices.

Even though your project would be scheduled after August 1st, we’ll keep your project at the July pricing.

New FREE Resource from Ocean Breeze to Help You Prep for Hurricanes and Other Disasters! 

This is Dave Jr.

A lot of you know me from estimates or the office at Ocean Breeze. Those of you that don’t for sure know my dad Dave Sr. He’s the big boss.

If you’re not sure which Dave is which, I’m the one with no hair. Aside from my work here at the family business, most of you don’t know that most of my career has been spent in disaster medicine, the bulk of it working for the Dept of Homeland Security.

I wanted to send this email today to tell you about a new FREE resource I’m launching based on all my years spent helping others.

I’m launching something called Prepared(*). It’s going to be a free newsletter that offers tips, checklists, and other resources to help you prepare for everything that gets thrown at us here at the beach or wherever you spend the time when you’re not here.

  • Hurricanes
  • Tornadoes
  • Floods
  • House Fires
  • Wildfires
  • And More!

All you have to do is sing up right HERE to get the newsletter started. It only comes once a week, so I promise it won’t crowd up your inbox.

Thanks!
Dave Jr.

PS- If you have any ideas for things you’d like to know more about, be sure to message me here or over at Prepared(*).

Did you know the VA offers FREE grant assistance for qualified Disabled Veterans?

Did you know the VA offers FREE grant assistance for qualified Disabled Veterans?

This is huge!

I’m a disabled Marine Corps veteran and my dad and the founder of Ocean Breeze is also a Disabled Veteran, so it thrills us to be able to help other vets get the assistance they need.

We focus on exterior remodeling and many of the projects we build may fit into what you qualify for.

  • Wheelchair ramps
  • Wider or modified decks
  • Modified steps
  • Retrofitting existing exterior structures with grab bars, handles, etc.
  • And more in the VA adaptive housing guide

 

 

If you are a Disabled Veteran, care for one, or know one, please pass on this information.

Click HERE for the VA Website

 

A wheelchair ramp we built in Pirateland Campground.

There was extremely limited for space on this home.
We were able to modify his existing deck for more space.
There was just enough room to meet all code requirements.

David R. Powers, Ocean Breeze Exteriors founder and owner

This is my dad, an Army veteran of the Vietnam War and a Bronze Star recipient.

Although you’ll still see him on just about every jobsite, he suffers from numerous ailments related to several years in a self-propelled artillery unit and exposure to Agent Orange.

Always Learning to Make Your Projects Better!

I was able to attend a roofing conference by GAF Roofing recently.

We don’t even do roofing unless it’s on our sunrooms, but it was a pretty awesome even to attend.

  • Networking with other construction business owners
  • Checking out new products
  • Finding better ways to help you- better warranties, maintenance programs, industry certifications, etc
  • Learning new Best Practices

I hope to be unveiling some new products and services to you soon based on what I saw and learned!
