With new technology constantly changing, many people upgrade to the hottest new model of phone or tablet every one or two years. While your old smartphones and tablets may not be worth much to you, they can still be worth money.
Due to the high cost of buying a new phone, many people are looking to repair their existing phone or buy a newly refurbished model. This means that old cell phone you tossed into the closet or shoved into a desk drawer could be worth money to cell phone repair or refurbishing companies. Why let those old devices take up room in your home when you can sell them for some extra cash?
Top Used Mobile Devices to Sell
In most cases, almost any smartphone is worth some amount of money at many cell phone repair companies that buy old mobile devices. However, there are some that are worth more than others due to their popularity and usefulness. Some of the higher valued old phones and tablets include:
The good news is that they don’t have to be in excellent condition to fetch a decent price. Even devices that are damaged or don’t even work anymore can still be worth money. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure, especially if it is an iPad that has been refurbished to its former glory.
If you have old cell phones or tablets lying around your home, don’t wait for them to lose their value. Call your local cell phone repair store to see if they buy old mobile devices and get some extra cash for responsibly recycling them.

Cost versus value is often a factor to consider when approaching new home improvement projects. This is especially important if you are planning to sell your home in the next few years. While many home improvement projects can add value to your home, you must consider how much the project will cost versus the value added to your home. One of the most beneficial home improvements when it comes to cost versus value is adding new vinyl siding.
Benefits of New Vinyl Siding
While it may be more fun to add a new pool or spa to your home, it will not give you the same increase in value as a practical improvement like vinyl siding. For most home improvements, if you can come close to having an increase in home value equal to the cost of the improvement, it is considered a good investment. Siding usually adds almost as much value as it will cost, unlike many other projects that offer little or no increase in home value.
However, value is not the only benefit to adding new siding, especially if you are selling your home. Vinyl siding has other benefits that may make your home more desirable to buyers, adding value in a different way, including:
Even if you are not planning to sell your home, you want a home that looks beautiful that is easy to maintain, making new vinyl siding an excellent choice. To learn more about adding new siding to your home, call your local siding or home construction contractor.

One of the most beautiful options for pool decks is the use of pavers. It offers a classic, contemporary style for your pool area and is ideal for the wet area around the pool. However, in certain situations you could experience drainage problems on your pool deck due to a variety of issues. If you have water pooling on your paver pool deck, you need to investigate drainage solutions to resolve the problem.
Pool Deck Drainage Issues
There are several reasons water is not draining properly around your pool deck. One of the benefits of using pavers for a pool deck is that water is allowed to drain easily when it is installed properly. This can be through drainage channels that are added when the deck is installed, plus water can seep between the joints and down to the sand underneath. However, some construction issues can lead to improper drainage, including:
– Cement under the pavers. If pavers were put over existing cement, water cannot drain down between joints. The water can become trapped under the pavers, causing mold, mildew and damage.
– Slope issues. For water to drain off the pool deck, a slight slope is usually needed for the drainage channels.
– No drain system. In some cases, a paver pool deck was not equipped with any drain system to handle excess water.
To resolve drainage issues, there are several solutions that can be used. The solution will depend on what is causing the drainage problem. Common solutions include increasing the slope or elevation, or adding drainage channels, deck drains or even a sump pump drain. To explore what drainage option is best for your paver pool deck, call your local paver installation contractor.

Have you noticed a lean or sag in your front steps or stoop? Is your porch or deck uneven? These are common problems that happen when footings begin to sink or settle on older homes. Not only does this devalue your home aesthetically, it can be dangerous for you, your family and your guests. The good news is that these settling issues can be fixed, often without needing to replace the entire structure above.
Resolving Sinking or Settling Footings
The cause of most sinking or leaning porches, decks or steps is not the structure itself, but the footings or foundation that it is braced upon. Posts, footings and foundations will settle over time, allowing the structure above to become uneven. This can lead to many issues, including:
In many cases, an experienced masonry or foundation specialist can resolve the issue without needing to replace the entire structure. Foundation experts can use specialized equipment and techniques to permanently fix settling issues so that the base for footings or posts are level and secure. Those with expertise in masonry can also fix cracks and other damage caused by the settled foundation, making concrete or brick porches and steps safe and beautiful again.
If you have settling problems surrounding the entrances to your home, don’t wait to have them repaired. The more the posts, footings or foundations sink, the most damage they will cause to the structure. Call a foundation and masonry expert to evaluate the problem and offer solutions to get your steps, porch or deck back on even ground.
