Home Preservation 365

My name is Randy Thurston. I understand that most homeowners are not contractors - and that's OK. Whatever you do - I'm sure I wouldn't be proficient at it either. We all have our strengths.  I started in the roofing and siding part of things when I was just 12. I've been roofing, siding, building, remodeling, remodeling kitchen & bathrooms, encapsulating crawlspaces, installing elevators, doing electrical and plumbing work and everything in between now for 40 plus years. I am certified in water and fire restoration. I hold a North Carolina commercial and residential builders license. I have been living in NC now for 30 years - originally from upstate NY.

 The one single thing that I have noticed over anything else in my career is, unfortunately, the lack of proper home maintenance.  My goal for this web site is to bring attention to commonly know problem areas of the home and to show you how to check and even maintain these areas yourself. If you can at least check and identify possible problems yourself, you can stop potential major issues. Even if you choose not to do the repairs yourself, you will be way ahead of the major damage stage and can get a professional to evaluate further and do repairs. I have gone to homes so many times with issues to evaluate / estimate only to find a major issue that could have been everted with just a periodic maintenance check and small repair. I hope this site can help get you in a regular routine checking key areas of your home. I will be posting maintenance tips and guidance on subsequent pages here on this site.

   I have published a Home Maintenance log book to record your home information and maintenance logs.  "Homepreservation365.com"  This books name matches the website's name so its easier to remember. This is also a good place to keep all your room colors, warranty information, Serial numbers and even home inventory. Check it out. https://tinyurl.com/HP365LOGBOOK

We can handle all types of general repairs, from fixing leaky faucets to repairing damaged walls and floors. Roof repairs are my specialty.  I typically work in Wake and Johnston Counties.  I am a one man show (sort of speak) so appointments and or job scheduled may not be immediate but once schedule - I do try to run a tight schedule.

At the top of every page of this website, you will see different home sections - exterior, interior, crawlspace, ext. These pages will address the specifics of each of the homes areas.

If you wish to have a complete home inspection by a licensed General Contractor, me, Randy Thurston. Please fill out the Contact Us section below with your contact information - or feel free to call me directly. 919-749-4411. I am not a licensed home inspector - as you would normally hire for a home purchase. I am a licensed General contractor with 40 + years of experience. Typically, a Home inspector will refer questionable areas to a General contractor such as myself.
