The Check A Pro Radio Show

Welcome to the Check A Pro Radio Show, hosted by Joe. In this episode, we conversed with Nathan Shafer, an indoor quality expert who deeply cares about our homes' health or environment. We delved into how to improve indoor air quality and why it should be a priority.
In the past, homes were not as air-tight as they are today. Our longings for efficiency and comfort have led to building homes that are better insulated and more sealed, limiting the amount of fresh air entering our homes. This change, while providing benefits, also created challenges in maintaining indoor air quality. It has made indoor air quality more critical for the health of our homes and families.
One important factor we discussed was humidity - or lack thereof. As heating systems run during the colder months, in-home air starts to dry. This lack of humidity alters our comfort and requires adjusting the thermostat. Moreover, the dry air also affects our personal health, particularly when germs start to set in. That's why it's important to control and maintain optimum humidity levels.
Beyond humidity, the episode also tackles from the importance of proper air filtration systems to air purifiers that bring the technology of the outdoors inside the home. Lastly, we discussed the need to introduce fresh air into air-tight houses, effectively putting the house under positive pressure.
We summarized some steps to improve indoor air quality - controlling humidity, installing better air filtration systems or air purifiers, and maintaining ventilation. By following these, we can keep our homes comfortable and healthy, and help our families thrive.

In this episode of the Check a Pro Radio Show, we had the pleasure of hosting a specialist in the concrete leveling field, Zachary Zaras from Level Concrete. He enlightens us on a unique solution for unlevelled concrete slabs that numerous homeowners are unaware of. This common problem that many encounter around their homes can be easily solved through a unique process that Level Concrete offers.
Zachary introduces the audience to what his company does by explaining their processes of injecting polyurethane to lift and level settled concrete. This includes driveways, sidewalks, and patios along with foundation repairs. Unlike the traditional method of removing and replacing uneven concrete, this method is both cost-effective and less disruptive. This amazing process does not only solve the leveled problem but also comes with a long-term warranty, adding peace of mind for the homeowner.
What motivates Zach to do what he does is inevitably tied to his personal experience. After buying his first house in 2015, he noticed a concrete slab issue that led to his nephew tripping multiple times during Fourth of July of that year. This motivated him to research and implement a lasting solution. Zach’s commitment to treat people the way he would like to be treated, combined with his desire to provide excellent customer service, are core to Level Concrete’s approach.
Apart from providing a valuable service, the leveling method Zach uses also has an ecological advantage by preventing unnecessary concrete waste from ending up in landfills. It's a good environmental practice while solving concrete issues efficiently. Join us to learn how you can solve concrete leveling issues permanently with a method that’s not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly.

In this episode, we have Adam Greer from EZ Lift Garage Doors and More is joining us on the Check a Pro radio show. Adam possesses extensive experience in the sphere of garage door installation and maintenance. Living in the Greater Houston area, we experience extremes of both hot and cold weather. Many homeowners have raised concerns about how these shifting temperatures may affect the operation of their garage doors. Adam addresses these concerns in-depth and provides his insights on how to effectively ensure garage door longevity and functionality.
Adam emphasizes that properly installed and maintained garage doors should not be affected by cold weather. He explains, however, that issues may arise when unprofessional products and services interfere with the door's mechanisms. Improper lubrication, for example, may cause the door's components to become stiff in cold weather or loose in hot weather. These issues could potentially affect the door's function or cause damage. Therefore, to guarantee the long-lasting performance of the door, a professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial.
Garage doors should be serviced at least once a year, with key components such as rollers and springs carefully monitored and maintained. When choosing garage door maintenance products, Adam points out the importance of non-silicon, non-sticky items to ensure the door's capacity to withstand exposure to dirt and dust. This expert advice is crucial for maintaining a smooth-functioning, durable garage door that can withstand the test of time and weather changes. Don’t forget; professional product, correct installation and regular maintenance are the keys to a long-lasting garage door.
Adam's expertise and insights on the subject are invaluable. Tune in to the full episode for more informative takes on home improvement and maintenance.

In this enlightening episode, we have an in-depth conversation with Cody Johnson from Garage Door Doctor. We discuss one of the most frequently asked questions homeowners have - how can a new garage door improve your home's curb appeal?
Cody explains that among the new constructions in the Houston area, garage doors are notably bland. They blend in, failing to contribute to the home's curb appeal. He suggests incorporating contrast colors, unique designs, and window installations (referred to as lights) as potential ways to enhance the appearance of the garage door and, subsequently, the home's exterior. Moreover, Cody recommends considering an insulated door with a higher R-value for added energy-efficiency.
A significant takeaway from this conversation is the realization that the garage door can be a defining factor of your home's exterior, contributing to 35 to 40 percent of most suburban homes' facade. Therefore, a simple change or upgrade to the garage door can radically alter your home's overall look and feel.
Citing a study from Remodeler's Magazine, Cody underlines the return on investment potential of investing in your garage door - an impressive 98%. This figure underscores how transformative a simple garage door upgrade can be, not just for your home's aesthetic appeal, but also for its monetary worth.
Throughout the discussion, Cody provides practical insights on how an average garage door project is undertaken, highlighting the timeframe and the various options available to homeowners. He also emphasizes the perks of investing in insulated doors for living spaces adjoining the garage for added comfort and efficiency.
This episode serves as a comprehensive guide to enhancing your home's curb appeal through a frequently overlooked element - the garage door. For direct contact with Cody Johnson and more insights about your garage door options, refer to the description of this podcast.

When is the last time you thought about the filters in your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system? In this enlightening episode, Gareth Kelly, an expert from Dream Team Plumbing, Electrical, Heating, and Cooling, joins our host to address a common question: "How often should one replace the filters in their air conditioning and heating system?". This episode provides insightful information on the significance of regular filter replacements in maintaining the efficiency of your HVAC system.
During the interactive discussion, Gareth highlights that many people neglect the replacement of their air filters due to busy lives. However, the continued functioning of an HVAC system shouldn't guarantee less attention. According to him, smaller or standard one-inch filters should be replaced every one to three months, while the larger three or four-inch filters that do a better job of collecting dust and allergens could last between six and nine months with at least a three-month check on their condition.
Interestingly, the expert explains that neglecting regular filter replacements not only exposes your HVAC system to wasteful energy consumption and harder furnace work but can also cause damage to the system, leading to expensive repairs or replacements. Hence, regular maintenance, including bi-annual or quarterly filter replacements, is essential for your air conditioning and heating system's wellbeing.
If you feel unsure about handling your HVAC maintenance or don't know how to replace the filters yourself, don't hesitate to call in experts like Gareth and his team at Dream Team. Tune in to this episode to grasp more about HVAC system maintenance and save hundreds of dollars on your energy bills and potential repair costs.

In this episode of Check A Pro Radio Show, we had the pleasure of talking to Zachary Zaras from Level Concrete, a specialist in concrete leveling. This niche industry sees far fewer players than most, thus making the discussion with Zaras unique and informative.
During the discussion, Zaras elaborated on one of the main services of Level Concrete – fixing concrete no longer leveled. The company uses an innovative technique, injecting foam through small, pencil-sized holes. The process appears nothing short of magical as viewers of the process witness the way these injections realign unlevelled concrete slabs beautifully. The process is highly safe and results in a cosmetic enhancement that leaves concrete surfaces looking pristine without any visible sign of repair.
Zaras was asked about the safety of the process and the product injected. He reassured that both the process and the foam injected were utterly safe. The foam turns into an inert material once injected, not off-gassing or leaching into the soil while the process ensures that no one gets hurt during the work. Plus, the workers handling the raw chemicals are well-trained to ensure maximum safety.
Concrete lifting can be considered an alternative to breaking down cracked, unlevel concrete. Although the process might appear necessary for apparently destroyed concrete, Zaras encouraged audiences to consider their services and see if the concrete could be lifted instead.
