Construction & Contractors Blog
When you are working construction, there are tools that you may want to consider purchasing to make your job a bit easier. There are many people who do not realize that there are so many tools available to make building less tedious and create less strain on your muscles and joints. The guide below walks you through a few of the many tools that every small construction company needs to make building easier.
An Extension Ladder
Believe it or not, there are some construction companies that refuse to invest in an extension ladder because the initial investment can be a bit costly. If you consider the fact that you will only need to use that one ladder for just about every job that you have to do, the cost quickly becomes worthwhile. Choose an extension ladder with rubber on the bottom of its feet to ensure that you can use it indoors and outdoors without causing damage to the floors in a home.
A Pneumatic Nail Gun
A pneumatic nail gun is a great tool to add to any construction trailer because it makes nailing large and small jobs a breeze. The gun hooks up to an air compressor and allows you to run nails into wood with just the pull of a trigger rather than having to spend time hitting the nail in with the hammer. It also ensures accuracy because you do not have to worry about the nails bending or breaking as they are pushed into the wood.
A Slap Stapler
Like the nail gun, a slap stapler can make life easier. It is great when applying large sheets of moisture barriers on the exterior of houses because all you have to hit the head of the staple gun against the house and a staple shoots out to secure the barrier to the house. It will take far less time to secure the barrier to the house because you will not have to apply numerous small nails over the entire house. The slap stapler is easy to use and easy to reload when needed.
It is important to do everything that you can to make doing your job as easy as it can be. Construction can be very tedious and using the right tools for the job will allow you to be able to do your job more efficiently and cause less stress to your body over the years.

My name is Debbie Greenberg. I’m a single woman who owns her home, and like most homeowners I dread home repairs. I’m not very handy with do-it-yourself projects around the house. I can do a few minor repairs when necessary, but for the most part I have to call in a professional. Last year I had a leak in my roof. When it rained, water would leak into my kitchen. What appeared to be a simple fix turned out to be anything but simple. It took over four months to finally identify the problem, and double the money I was initially quoted to fix it. The problem ended up being that the flat part of my roof didn't have shingles, but a sheeting material. I learned a bit about home roofs along the way, and that is what I want to share with you.
