Another safety upgrade completed.

We recently helped a client bring their property into compliance with fire marshal requirements by replacing outdated hardware with new panic push bars on exit doors. These upgrades help ensure safe, quick emergency egress while meeting current code standards.

Whether it’s a commercial space, multi-family property, or public building, life safety compliance matters — and we’re here to help make the process smooth from inspection to completion.

Heading north for the summer? Make sure your Florida home is set up to stay safe, dry, and damage-free while you’re away. Here are 5 smart tips before you lock up:

1. Control humidity & prevent mold
Set your thermostat around 78–80°F and consider a dehumidifier if needed. Florida humidity doesn’t take vacations—and mold loves an empty house.

2. Protect plumbing & stop odors
Turn off the main water supply if possible. Run water in all drains and consider adding a little mineral oil to traps to slow evaporation and block sewer gases. Keep those toilet lids closed slicing evaporation while prevents unwelcome visitors.

3. Prep for storms
Clean out gutters and drains, and trim back any branches or landscaping hanging over your roof. Less debris = less risk during summer storms. Remember to bring in that garden gnome!

4. Reduce energy use (safely)
Unplug non-essential electronics, switch off unnecessary breakers, and use timers for a few lights. Save money without creating risk.

5. Keep pests out & things clean
Do a deep clean before you leave—especially the kitchen. Remove all food, take out trash, and seal up entry points to keep bugs and critters from moving in.

A little prep now can save you from big headaches later. Enjoy your time up north knowing your home is ready for your return!

Where durability meets daily life.

This one was all about function and sanity.

+ Removed existing debris and leveled the area
+ Installed proper base for drainage
+ Secured high-quality pet-friendly turf
+ Clean, low-maintenance, and mud-free year-round

Now? No more muddy paws getting tracked inside. No dead grass. No constant upkeep.

Sometimes the best upgrades aren’t flashy—they just make everyday life a whole lot easier.

There’s a gap in the market right now.

Big contractors won’t take small jobs.
Most handymen underprice them (always asking for more money)—or don’t show up.

That leaves homeowners stuck.

I’ve built my business around solving that exact problem.

If you’ve got a project that’s too small for a contractor but too important to ignore—send me a message.

At Edison Home Services, we bring creativity, skill, and craftsmanship to every home project — big or small. From repairs and remodels to complete makeovers, we’re your one-stop shop for honest, high-quality home improvement.

A provocative question in modern home design: do urinals belong in residential bathrooms? (We have been in two homes this last month that have them)

From a functional perspective, the argument is compelling. Urinals promote improved sanitation by minimizing splash, reduce water consumption, and offer a level of efficiency that is difficult to replicate with traditional fixtures—particularly in households with high traffic or multiple male occupants.

Yet, the counterargument is equally significant. Urinals occupy valuable wall space, often disrupt the visual cohesion of a thoughtfully designed bathroom, and introduce a distinctly commercial aesthetic that may feel incongruous in a residential setting. Moreover, their utility is inherently limited, serving only a portion of the household.

In practice, their appropriateness is highly contextual. In secondary spaces—such as pool baths, garage bathrooms, or dedicated recreational areas—they can be a pragmatic and even strategic addition. In primary or guest bathrooms, however, their inclusion becomes far more contentious.

The question, then, is not whether they are effective—but whether they belong.

Where do you stand: a rational upgrade in efficiency, or an unnecessary departure from residential design norms?

Say goodbye to outdated walls and hello to a kitchen that wows!

This client wanted a fresh, modern look. We installed a custom backsplash that:

✔ Protects the walls from spills and splashes
✔ Adds style and personality to the kitchen
✔ Was completed quickly with minimal disruption

To really make the space cohesive, we also added a complementary wall under the eating area, creating a natural connection between the kitchen and dining space. The result? A kitchen that flows beautifully from cooking to dining, while staying durable and easy to maintain—perfect for Southwest Florida homes.

The right backsplash isn’t just about looks—it’s about durability and easy maintenance, especially in Florida kitchens where humidity and cooking wear can take a toll.
