Wow! Hurricane Matthew is a name we won't soon forget! While many of us high tailed it out of Flagler and Volusia Counties to avoid what was being forecast as a "very dangerous hurricane" some of you brave souls waited it out in dark houses as the power went out. Many of us returned home to broken trees, torn pool lanai screens and missing roof shingles. Some fared better than others and others worse still with complete sections of roofs torn off, siding ripped off, broken windows, knocked down fences etc. Most of us however had piles of tree debris all over our yards. I feel like we dodged a bullet as the damage could have been much worse for a Category 4 hurricane! As a FEMA inspector in St. Augustine in 2004 I saw some pretty bad damages to homes but nothing like what I saw in Mobile Alabama after hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In many neighborhoods I saw nothing but piles of debris and concrete slabs where homes and cottages used to sit. All I can say is that I'm thankful we didn't take a direct hit and suffer worse than we did! I'm also thankful there were very few fatalities as well. hope you all fared well also and that you were able to recover quickly without too much damage.

Marlon CoxFrom the time I was a child, I was fascinated with the work my uncles did as painters and carpenters. I took every opportunity to crawl with them under houses or up a ladder to watch or help when I could. It's that same passion and desire that drives me to work for my customers and to see their smiles of satisfaction when the job is done! Archives
