Voyles Overhead Door - Earned My Business
Posted By Matt Hermes on October 24th, 2008
Yesterday was just one of those days. First my wife leaves to head to school with the kids and she calls me and says that the garage door would not close, then my car had an issue that needed to be addressed as well. Great start to the day let me tell you.We have had issues with the garage door not closing so I thought it was no big deal. Adjust the infrared eye and get on with my day. Little did I know that the whole frame holding the garage door to the wall had come loose and a bolt had come out of the frame. Never a good sign. Usually I can fix most of the minor stuff around the house, but this was a little out of my league so I decided I needed help.
Hamilton Mill, where I live, has a very useful neighborhood website, www.hmill.com, that I frequent and I remembered seeing a recommendation for a garage door company so I looked them up. Brent Voyles, who owns the company lives in Hamilton Mill and I like to pass on business to my neighbors so I gave him a call. A few minutes later he returned my call and I explained the situation to him and he let me know that he may not be able to fix the issue but he would have someone out to my home by the end of the day to at least get the door to close.
When Jason the service technician arrived he looked at the issue and within 10 minutes had the problem resolved. He then went ahead and looked at the other door, lubricated all the springs and hinges and made minor adjustments to both doors so they worked more efficiently. Remember, I did not call them out to make these preventive maintenance repairs, he did them without even asking.
When he was done I asked him what the charge was and the total was $65. In my line of work, personal referrals go a long way and Voyles overhead door has earned by personal and referral business from here on out. If you need any type of garage door repair or installation, give them a call at 678-793-5556 or visit them on the web at www.VoylesOverheadDoor.com
Great job guys, and start looking for my referral calls.

On Saturday the stations are as follows:
Cheering Stations
Cheering Stations are a great way to show your support along the route to encourage walkers and let them know that you are with them every step of the way. Seeing familiar faces cheering them on can provide that extra burst of energy that gets them to take that next step or go the next mile. Create banners, hold up signs, bring some music and make some noise - anything to make them smile, get energized and keep walking.

Hamilton Mill “Deals” Update
Posted By Matt Hermes on October 13th, 2008
As Hamilton Mill and Gwinnett County continue to see pricing pressures moving downward, I will again get on my stump and shout to the masses that if you have the ability to invest in real estate now is the time to do it.
There will probably never be a better time to make money in the real estate market for many years and now is the time to act. If you have been checking in on HamiltonMillDwellings.com, GwinnettDwellings.com or MattHermes.com you know that pending sales are up, prices have slowed and we are even starting to see some increases in certain areas of the market.
Do not wait anymore. Personally I cannot predict when the market has reached bottom, or if it already has, but what I can tell you is that if we are not at the bottom, there is not much hill left to travel down.
So with that said here is my list of the best Hamilton Mill deals. These are homes that I feel have the best upside moving into 2009 and forward and are in no particular order.
