Who Do I Recommend for Boat Servicing?





My latest video features one of my preferred vendors. Today I have Rafe Wunsch of Avalon Marine, and he has looked after countless clients of mine (he also services my boat). It's a win when my clients give positive feedback on Avalon's services. So to support a preferred vendor I have him here to tell us a little about his business.

Avalon Marine is a mobile and fixed-site service that looks after private boats for people who live on the island and off the island. They can come out and do preventative maintenance on your boat weekly, monthly, or however often you need it, or as is recommended.

One thing that Rafe recommends if you own a boat is to be on top of your boat's maintenance. The salt water requires more maintenance and boats LOVE fresh water, so flush your engines and wash down the boat frequently. Rafe recommends doing it yourself if you have the time. If you can't be consistent then you know who to call.

As part of this program, all my vendors are required to donate to a local charity. Rafe and Avalon Marine have decided to donate their money to the Cayman Hospice Care. Thanks for watching, and please don't hesitate to contact myself or Rafe if you have any questions at all. It pays off to use the experts in their field.

How Can You Conserve Energy in Cayman?



Hi there...Energy conservation is hugely important… How you can make your Cayman home more energy efficient, which will lead to lower energy costs whilst in theory increasing the value and sell-ability of your property in time!
 
There are many ways you can conserve energy in the Cayman Islands. There is always plenty of sunlight here to go around, and solar panels can generate the electricity to power your water heater and so on...You do have to invest a little bit up front, but the return will come. Switching out your older appliances with newer, energy-efficient ones is also a great idea. These decisions will make a big difference in the long run.


Another thing you can do if you have a flat roof is plant a garden up there. You can grow grass, herbs, vegetables or plants and use it as an insulator to keep your home slightly cooler and healthier as well! Some simpler, more common-sense tips to saving energy include making sure the lights are turned off when leaving a room, that appliances are unplugged when not using them, and windows and doors are properly sealed to prevent air leaks.

I just wanted to share some tips with you today, as questions about energy efficiency pops up fairly regularly nowadays. If you have any questions for us, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to speaking with you!

Why Is Stafford Flooring Your Best Choice?

Hey everyone, I am back here with another one of our great service providers. Randy Stafford is the owner of Stafford Flooring, and he is here today to talk to us a little bit about what his company does and how they are helping people in Cayman get started on the right foot. 

Stafford Flooring has been in Cayman for a few years now, installing flooring in both residential and commercial spaces. What they are really good at is finding solutions for people's needs when it comes to flooring. The quality of a floor is a main value point in any home or condo in Cayman.

The particular floor you see in the video above is an LVT, or Luxury Vinyl Tile. Unlike most flooring, this one is quick, easy, and efficient to install, directly on top of your old flooring (depending of course on a few factors). It's pretty easy to install yourself if you want to go that route!

In addition to helping many residential homeowners with their flooring, Stafford has done work in commercial spaces as well, including marble, wood, and specialty floors. They take pride finding the best solutions for your needs...also VERY pleasant to deal with which is huge in my books!

As part of our ongoing series, Stafford Flooring has decided to donate their CI$100 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of The Cayman Islands because, as he puts it, "The youth are our future, and taking care of them now will take care of tomorrow."

Thanks to Randy for joining us today, and if you have any questions for either of us, don't hesitate to reach out. We are just a phone call or email away!
