What's NEW this week?
Hey Guys,
As I looked out my window yesterday I saw
the seasons first snow flakes and all I can think about is the long winter ahead. Before everyone in the cold climates gets buried in snow we wanted to share some advice on preventing ice dams. We also have some great info on the benefits of the NEST Pro program for contractors looking to get into offering smart home products to their clients. And lastly we've got a new framing nailer review from Hitachi.
Enjoy the rest of your week
everyone!

Nest Pro - The Smart Trade
Almost every new home we build, or renovation project ends up with some sort of new smart home technology. Typically, these products are requested by the client as they search for ways to make their homes more energy efficient and comfortable.
While all this new technology may seem intimidating, it's also a huge opportunity for contractors that want to expand their services. I recently
installed some NEST thermostats and found them easy to install and very intuitive to set up. Click the link to learn more about it and how it can help you grow your business.
If you live in a cold climate there's a good chance you know what an ice dam is. Hopefully you know about them from a friend or family member instead of first hand knowledge. Ice dams can cause serious water damage to your home so preventing them should be high on your maintenance list.
Read the entire article in the link below and learn some strategies to preventing them in your home
and saving on costly repairs.
While we certainly cover a lot of cordless tools on this site, pneumatic framing nailers are still very much the tool of choice for product framers. We recently got our hands on the all new Hitachi NR83AA5 which is a serious production tool!
