The Fed Says...

Well, it seems the silver lining of the economic pinch continues to be that interest rates are at record lows...and the outlook is that they will stay that way for a while longer.

Good Morning Nashville!!!


Hi everybody. JD here with a new addition to the Broderick Builder website. I'm calling it "Good Morning Nashville" because every weekday morning we're on the road at 6AM driving to the office to plan the days activities. After a short meeting the crew is back on the road ready to greet our customers and help you remodel or build your dream home. I like to think of this as a well choreographed dance routine in a Broadway musical where everybody (the customers, the leaders, the workers, the suppliers and the sub-contractors) are dancing to the same tune. When the job is finished we all get to take a bow. Broderick Builders is ready, willing and able to help, you the customer, to repair, improve, remodel and build your castle on the Cumberland.
In future posts I will be offering you information, both practical and seasonal, on the care and maintenance of your home. I will also be posting videos ,music (this is Music City USA after all) and cartoons that I hope will be both informative and entertaining.
Finally, in a section called "SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT", I will post articles on the trends and styles of the building trades industry. Here is the first offering:

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

In a world with diminishing energy supplies could this be part of the solution?

Don't Let the Media Fool You

There is plenty of information out there about whether the economy is staying in the toilet or whether it's rising from the ashes. Well, based on my experience lately I say it's doing BOTH!! In the remodeling market, homeowners are staying busy and putting their money in the toilet....and in the Master Bedroom, and Kitchen and all over the house. The remodeling business is busy. Homeowners, are spending money on their homes right now because it's a safe investment and when the economy does truly bounce back, the property values will rise accordingly.
If you are thinking about adding onto your home now, it's a great investment!!

Hold on Tight

So, Nashville is rebounding from the flood, last month had a record low for National Home sales and Remodelers are as busy as can be. I am so proud to call myself a Nashvillian. Although the storms were devastating to parts of middle Tennessee, the city pulled together for the greater good...neighbors helping neighbors or just helping strangers. Now that things are settling down, the building business is busy again.
Although some of the business is flood related, much of it is not at all. Due to lackluster home sales, many families have decided to stay put in their homes and add on or remodel. This is a great way to "get what you need" without moving or buying a new place. If you are considering a remodel, be selective about which General Contractor you choose and check references before you get started. A remodel is stressful, even a smooth one, so make sure you are dealing with local professionals when adding on or remodeling your home.
Have a Great Day & Enjoy Nashville!!
