A.M.Carter Construction
Incorporated is a licensed and insured residential renovation company specialising in high end custom kitchens,
baths and additions working either independently or under the direction of an architect. We also renovate historical homes
with an eye toward maintaining as much original content as possible. Incorporated in North Carolina since 1994, we have built everything from custom homes
to whole house remodels as well as everything in between, whether small or large. Since 2004 the focus has been
on custom interior upfits most especially in kitchens and master suites ( including those built on as additions). We
also offer home maintenance evaluations, troubleshooting diagnoses, pre-construction consultations, energy efficiency analyses
and systems installations of all types. Starting 2011 we will be renovating historic homes in Durham and surrounding areas.
We look forward to hearing from you, Regards, Adrian Carter,
President

Home Maintenance
Tasks: May |  |
Clean gutters. Inspect gutters to ensure all spikes, straps and clips
are tightly fastened. Use a garden hose to flush debris from downspouts. Make sure downspouts or splashbacks direct water
at least three feet away from the foundation.
Wash windows, inside and out, using a solution made
from three tablespoons of non-sudsy ammonia to 1 gallon of water. Don't work in the direct sun -- the solution will
dry too fast and streak. To clean windows with real (not removable) grills, use a hacksaw to cut a squeegee so it fits the
windowpanes exactly.
Have central air-conditioning unit checked according to the recommendations
of the unit's manufacturer. Replace the filter in the forced-air system. Clean debris from condenser or heat pump located
outside.
Remove mineral deposits from faucet aerators and shower heads by soaking parts in white
vinegar and scrubbing with an old toothbrush.
Have swimming pools cleaned. Inspect and service pool
liners and filters.
Shop for seasonal sales on air-conditioning units and window fans.
Dust ceiling fan blades.
Set thermostats and automatic sprinkler system to adjust for
weather changes.
Before placing metal patio furniture outdoors, coat it with auto polish. |
