Maintenance and Cleaning of Vinyl Siding in St. Augustine and Jacksonville Beach, FL

​Vinyl siding is an attractive and durable option for the exterior of any home. It is low maintenance and can last many years, making it a popular choice for homeowners. Like any exterior material, vinyl siding can become dirty and stained over time, which can detract from its appearance. It is essential to discuss how to properly maintain and clean vinyl siding to keep it looking new and extend its lifespan.   Regular Inspections   The first step in maintaining the vinyl siding in St. Augustine and Jacksonville Beach, FL, is to perform regular inspections. Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks or holes, and repair them immediately. Check for any mold or mildew growth, as these can cause severe damage to the siding if left untreated.   Cleaning Solutions   There are several cleaning solutions available for cleaning vinyl siding. One of the most effective solutions is a mixture of water and vinegar. Mix equal parts of water and white vinegar and apply the solution to the siding using a soft brush or cloth. Allow the solution to sit briefly before rinsing with a garden hose.   Pressure Washing   Another effective method for cleaning vinyl siding is pressure washing. Using the correct pressure settings is important to avoid damaging the siding. It is better to use a low-pressure setting and hold the wand at a slight angle to avoid forcing water behind the siding.   Avoid Harsh Chemicals   Avoid using harsh chemicals on the vinyl siding, as they can cause damage to the surface. This includes bleach, ammonia, and other acidic solutions. Always use cleaning solutions that are specifically designed for use on vinyl siding.   Clean from the Bottom Up   When cleaning the vinyl siding, starting at the bottom and working the way up is better. This allows the cleaning solution to flow downward and prevents streaking.   Avoid Direct Heat   Avoid exposing the vinyl siding to direct heat from a grill or outdoor fireplace. This can cause the siding to warp or melt, which can be challenging to repair.   Consider Professional Cleaning   If one is unsure about window installation in Orange Park and Jacksonville, FL, or cleaning the vinyl siding oneself, or if the siding requires extensive cleaning or repairs, consider hiring a professional. A professional cleaning service can safely and effectively clean the vinyl siding and carry out any necessary repairs.   Proper vinyl siding maintenance and cleaning are essential for keeping it looking new and extending its lifespan. Regular inspections, proper cleaning solutions, and avoiding harsh chemicals and direct heat can all help to maintain the appearance and durability of the vinyl siding. By following these tips, the homeowner can ensure that the vinyl siding continues to protect and enhance the home's exterior for many years to come

Tom King’s 1956 Ford F-100 Custom Cab Small Window

There are some experiences in life that are so moving they stay with you forever. More often they are private, known only to ourselves, but every now and then they bubble to the surface and help define who we are. One look at Tom King’s cool truck and you’ll know the one that changed him.

Tom joined the Marine Corps when he was in college and was commissioned upon graduation in 1958. He was a rifle platoon commander in the First Marine Division and attained the rank of captain before being discharged, remaining in the Marine Corps reserve until 1965. “It was a wonderful learning experience,” he told us and its influence is still obvious. While Tom may have found another occupation in civilian life, working in real estate finance and development, he never really left the Corps. The proof is his beautiful 1956 F-100. It’s his first custom truck and it came about because he always admired the look of 1953-1956 Fords. “They are like the deuce coupe of pickup trucks with their classic lines,” he told us.

Tom found the truck on the Internet, located in Lawrenceville, Georgia. It was on consignment at a restoration shop and had received a cosmetic restoration with some suspension and engine work. The red truck looked good and although he was able to drive it home, there were a few issues needing correction. Living in Jacksonville, Florida, Tom made a great connection with Jim Mercer of the Street Rod Shop in Orange Park, Florida, the place where some of the minor problems with the truck were corrected. Tom couldn’t help but notice the impressive upgrades that Mercer had made to other vehicles in the shop and decided he would take his own truck a step further. The list grew and the sophistication of the Ford increased, but it was not a quick process. During the four-year upgrade, the decision was made to completely disassemble the truck; when the sheetmetal was dipped and stripped, it uncovered some serious body issues. As a result of prior repairs, many of the parts were beyond saving and after a painful assessment everything but the cab, the hood, a fender, and one running board were replaced. Once the structural rigidity of the body was reestablished, upgrades to the frame were next, boxing it for strength and installing a 19-gallon fuel tank between the rear rails. The frame, suspension pieces, and inner fender panels were all powdercoated in Silver Vein for looks. Suspension mods were next, beginning with rejuvenating the 1979 Firebird front clip that came with the truck. Global West upper and lower tubular A-arms modernized the frontend and a Chassis Engineering ladder bar upgrade was added to hold the 1968 Monte Carlo 10-bolt rear, also on the Effie when it was purchased. Strange coilovers stabilize all four corners.

To take advantage of the crisp new suspension, the 302 V-8 was sent to Jasper Engines in Indiana for a complete rebuild. All the internals were upgraded and Tom opted for a showy Holley Tri-Power setup with progressive linkage that works the three two-barrel carbs. The center carb provides economical cruising but all three can smoke the rear tires when Tom hits the long skinny pedal. MSD electronic ignition lights the fire and BBK shorty headers feed a pair of Flowmasters, creating a mellow performance rumble. A March Performance serpentine belt drive system powers all the accessories, the oversized Griffin radiator is augmented with a 16-inch SPAL electric fan, and the engine room benefits from a smoothed firewall and chrome 302 emblem. The potent V-8 is matched up to a Ford AOD four-speed trans that turns 3.73 gears.

Once the powertrain upgrades were complete, the attention shifted to the interior, beginning with plush Cadillac De Ville eight-way power seats, complete with center armrest, console, and embroidered F-100 emblems. The tilt and telescoping 1962 Cad steering column is equipped with a Lokar cruise control and topped with a Lecarra wheel. Changes to the dash included new paint along with a separate panel added below to handle the clock, stereo, and power door lock controls. The original gauges were refurbished and the auxiliary tach from Super Pro keeps track of the high-revving V-8. Creature comforts include power windows, power door locks, and Vintage Air for those warm Florida summers. The Custom Autosound stereo controls the 10-CD changer hidden below the center armrest. The setup fills the cab with old-time rock ’n’ roll and an occasional Souza March when Tom feels the need for a little Marine motivation. Mike’s Auto Upholstery in Callahan, Florida, did the stitchwork, covering the seats and door panels with Soft Touch Perforated blue and gray vinyl, then accenting the interior with dark blue carpet and Marine Corps floormats.

Tom liked the lines of the classic F-100 so body mods on the Custom Cab Small Window 1956 were kept to a minimum. The tilt forward hood now properly displays the detailed engine and a new Dennis Carpenter Ford Restoration Parts bed replaced the original. Oak planks separated by stainless steel strips provide a traditional look to the bed floor while custom oak side rails match the oak inserts on the running boards. Tom’s pride in his Marine Corps heritage can be seen in the bed, beginning with the World War I Marine Corps ammo box, now holding the truck’s battery and the special oak cradle for the bed-mounted spare tire, also sporting a Marine Corps emblem. An additional Marine emblem was added to the front bumper and there is an Eagle Globe and Anchor on the rear bumper. The Marine Corps license plate shows the year and model of the truck. (No doubt there will be a few more Corps-related accents since those of us in the Corps know you can’t be a Marine without bragging about it!) The final step was paint, with the Honda Blue Pearl and BMW Metallic Silver sprayed by the Street Rod Shop. The truck rolls on American Racing 15×7 wheels and 70 series BFGoodrich rubber.

The truck has been complete since 2009 and it sees occasional show duty and is a weekend cruiser. When we asked Tom if he was happy with the way the truck turned out, he smiled and said, “I’ve told my wife when I check out, just put me in the Ford and bury us both with a big backhoe!” No doubt, when the time comes, he’ll be in Dress Blues.

How Storm Windows in St. Augustine and Orange Park, FL Keeps Properties Safe

​Florida has been a witness to devastating hurricanes for many years now. The last most deadly one was hurricane Ian which made landfall in Cayo Costa, Florida, in 2022 in September. This was a Category 4 storm, the side effects and damage of which could only be fathomed by those who have experienced it first-hand. Though natural occurrences as such cannot be curbed and Florida might have to handle storms, it is on the part of the property owners to keep their properties safe from getting entirely ruined by hurricanes of such nature. Investing in storm windows in St. Augustine and Orange Park, FL, is one such step in prevention. Storm windows can be installed over the regular windows, providing an additional layer of security to the windows and the house.    Despite its necessity and plus points, it is often heartening to see homeowners debate the need for installing storm windows. There is no need to do so; however as even if not mandatory, the Florida Building Code requires windows and doors to be protected on properties situated within a mile of the coast and experiencing high winds. Hence, even if storm windows ask for a significant investment, it can be accepted that it is worth the money. Following are some of the benefits one can get out of installing storm windows:    Can withstand severe hurricanes- It has been proved that high-quality storm windows can withstand wind strength of 158 mph which is the same as that of a Category 5 hurricane.

As much as proper siding installation in Jacksonville Beach and St. Augustine, FL, protects from the elements, so do these windows. Storm windows also protect the house from extreme temperatures and flying debris.    Cuts down external noise: Often, the extra insulation offered by the storm windows can help cut down on the outside noise.
