Contractor Tips For Homeowner Renovation & Remodeling
Read MoreWrapping up remodeling month on Nail Gun Depot, let's hear from the experts - the contractors who tackle home renovation projects daily. Get insight from the professionals, when you learn the do's and don'ts in home remodeling, here on the Nail Gun Network.
- Don't Delay Progress - Taking too long to decide on materials, colors and other general design aesthetics can really slow progress. It's important to be comfortable with your choices, but being too indecisive can ultimately put the brakes on a renovation project. Likewise, be careful not to backtrack by making major changes mid-project. Making changes after materials have been purchased and installed can be costly, adding unnecessary expense.
- Do Purchase Your Own Materials - Depending on who you talk to, you will get different points of view on this subject. The real decision ultimately hinges on your level of comfort. If you are an avid DIYer, you might prefer to shop for your own materials to guarantee 100 percent control over cost. Most contractors will mark up the materials they purchase - however, letting someone else take care of procuring materials can be much more convenient, and will better ensure correct items are purchased on the first try.
- Don't Start A Major Renovation Without Emergency Funds - An emergency fund - also known as a contingency fund - is an absolute must for any major renovation or remodeling project, especially in older structures or homes that have not been maintained. When a homeowner starts thinking about renovating, they don't often think about the hidden problems that demolition might uncover. Rotten wood, mold, faulty electrical, and other structural imperfections are all very common risks that remodeling can uncover. To ensure these issues can be repaired properly, it's important to set funds aside ahead of time. Most recommend setting at least an additional 5 percent of your overall budget aside.
- Do Live Elsewhere - During a major renovation, most homeowners prefer to keep away from the construction. This makes it easier for a contractor to move around without disrupting occupants. It also makes it easier for the homeowner to live comfortably. Sometimes, a costly renovation does not leave the option to live elsewhere. If this is the case, try to find a comfortable retreat away from the hustle and bustle of construction.
- Don't Take On A Project You Aren't Comfortable With - When in doubt, leave it to the professionals. More often than not, if you don't have a firm understanding of what you are doing, a contractor will end up getting involved anyway - fixing mistakes. Some projects are more complex than others, so know your limitations from the start. For many DIYer's taking on their first big remodel, consider consulting with a contractor as you move through the motions of your project - even if you do most of the labor yourself.
These and other tips should set the foundation for success in any home renovation or remodel. For advice on the tools to take on your remodeling project, consult the Nail Gun Network or contact a specialist at Nail Gun Depot!~ The Nail Gun Depot Team -

Bostitch Cordless Carton Closing Staplers & Other New Tools
Read MoreWhile many have been out enjoying the summer, we've been busy adding new products to the Nail Gun Depot. From cordless carton closing staplers, to a new line of pallet nailers - and everything in between - we've got you covered. Be sure to check out the all-new Nail Gun Network, by Nail Gun Depot, for updates on tools, project ideas and how-to tips.
If you work in manufacturing, or are frequently assembling packaging materials, the Bostitch DSW-3519 and the Bostitch DSW-3522 are two excellent options for carton closing. The first of their kind, these carton closing staplers are completely cordless - each comes with (2) lithium ion batteries. Talk about packing a punch, these carton closers from Bostitch can drive up to 800 staples per 45 minute charge. Eliminating an air hose makes these tools extremely versatile, which means you can take them where you need them. These two tools are perfect for large, industrial warehouses - and small businesses alike. Start increasing your productivity now, when you use the Bostitch DSW-3519 or the Bostitch DSW-3522.
Need a new pallet nailer for pallet and crate building? Look no further than our latest product line added to the site, a full range of wire-coil pallet nail guns by Everwin Pneumatic. From high-volume, to small scale operations - Everwin offers a tool that is competitive with other industry-leading brands. Starting with the PN57 and the more powerful PN57PP, these industrial pallet nailing tools are perfect for standard pallet and crate building operations. A PN70 model offers a slightly increased range in fastener length - while each of these tools require 15 degree wire-coil pallet nails. For heavy-duty, high-volume applications, the Everwin PN100 will drive the longest length fastener - running pallet nails from 2-1/2" to 4" long. If you are looking for a competitive quality, budget friendly pallet and crate building tool, look no further than the latest offerings from Everwin Pneumatic.
Maybe you are looking for a framing nailer instead of a pallet tool. If that's the case, Pneu Tools has a couple high-range options that can now be found on Nail Gun Depot. The Pneu Tools SN22130 and the SN22160 22 degree, plastic strip framing nailers are designed to handle a longer length nail - compared to the ordinary framing nail gun. The SN22130 is designed to run 3-1/2" to 5-1/8" fasteners, while the SN22160 takes 4" to 6-1/4" framing nails. Both models feature an aluminum body, sequential fire trigger, adjustable depth, and a high-capacity magazine. These tools are designed to go above and beyond - perfect for pole barn assembly and post/beam installation.
Last, but certainly not least, MAX has released an updated and improved version of their SuperSider siding coil nailer, the CN565S2. Refined and improved, the MAX CN565S2 (replaced by the CN565S3) features a lighter design, more power, and a slim-nose contact arm for improved accuracy. Best of all, this tool is $10 less expensive than its predecessor.
