Burien Toyota Expands Inventory With Lifted Trucks and SUVs for Seattle Drivers

BURIEN, WA - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Burien Toyota has expanded its vehicle inventory to include a specialized selection of lifted trucks and sport utility vehicles designed for drivers who require greater ground clearance and off-road capability. The move marks the dealership's entry into a more specialized segment of the automotive market, responding to growing regional interest in modified and adventure-ready vehicles.
The expanded lineup adds to an existing catalog of new and used Toyota cars, minivans, crossovers, trucks, and SUVs. With this addition, the dealership now provides lifted trucks for sale in Seattle to customers seeking vehicles suited for rugged terrain, towing, hauling, and outdoor recreation across the Pacific Northwest.

Lifted vehicles feature suspension and ride-height modifications that increase clearance and accommodate larger tires. Interest in these configurations has risen among drivers in the region, where mountain access, forest roads, and variable weather conditions place added demands on standard vehicles. The dealership has structured the new inventory segment to meet those practical needs while maintaining the manufacturer standards associated with its broader catalog.
"The decision to expand into lifted trucks and SUVs reflects what many area drivers have been asking for," said John Chong, General Manager at Burien Toyota. "Customers across the region use their vehicles for work, recreation, and travel through terrain that benefits from added clearance and capability. Offering this specialized inventory allows the dealership to serve a segment that has previously required drivers to look elsewhere or arrange modifications independently."
The specialized inventory is integrated into the dealership's existing sales structure, which includes financing options, trade-in services, and a vehicle finder service for customers seeking specific configurations. Shoppers can browse available vehicles, calculate payments, and schedule test drives through the dealership's online tools, the same resources that support the wider vehicle catalog.
Beyond sales, the dealership continues to operate a service center for regular maintenance and repairs, along with a parts center offering genuine Toyota components. These facilities support the ownership experience for lifted and standard vehicles alike, an important consideration for buyers of modified trucks and SUVs, which often require specialized maintenance and parts.
"Providing service and parts support alongside the vehicles themselves was central to this expansion," Chong added. "Owners of lifted trucks and SUVs need reliable maintenance resources over the life of the vehicle, and the dealership is positioned to provide that continuity from purchase through ownership."
The expansion into the lifted vehicle segment complements existing programs at the dealership, including a lifetime warranty on new vehicles, the ToyotaCare maintenance plan, and rebate programs for college graduates and military personnel. Customers exploring the new inventory retain access to these established benefits.

Kelco Cabinets Launches Free Online Kitchen Remodel Cost Estimator

SPRINGFIELD, MO - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Kelco Cabinets LLC, a custom cabinetry and remodeling company based in Springfield, Missouri, has launched a free online tool that gives homeowners an early cost projection for kitchen cabinetry projects before scheduling a consultation. The estimator is available now through the company's website and is intended to help homeowners understand potential project costs earlier in the planning process.
The kitchen remodel cost estimator works by asking homeowners to enter basic details about the space and the scope of the intended project. Users provide information such as the size of the kitchen, the type and quantity of cabinets under consideration, and related selections such as countertops, flooring, and backsplash. After the information is submitted, the tool returns a projected cost range based on the entries, giving homeowners a working figure to reference before any in-person meeting takes place.

According to the company, the tool is not a binding quote. Instead, it produces an approximate range that reflects the choices a homeowner enters, which can then be refined during a formal consultation with the company's team. The figures are meant to serve as a starting point for planning rather than a final price.
The estimator is part of a broader effort by Kelco Cabinets to provide customers with clearer information earlier in the remodeling process. Homeowners planning a kitchen project often face uncertainty about budgets before speaking with a contractor, and the tool is designed to address that gap by putting a general figure within reach at the outset.
"Homeowners often want a sense of the numbers before they commit to a meeting, and this tool gives them that starting point," said Preston Kelsch of Kelco Cabinets. "The estimator reflects the selections someone enters, so it moves the budget conversation earlier in the process rather than leaving it until the end."
Kelsch noted that the estimator reflects the way many homeowners now begin remodeling projects. "People are doing more research on their own before they reach out," he said. "Providing a cost range up front respects that, and it helps set expectations so the consultation can focus on design and details rather than surprises about budget."
The tool covers cabinetry-focused kitchen projects, including custom cabinets, countertops, flooring, and backsplash installation. It is available to homeowners throughout the areas the company serves in Southwest Missouri, including Springfield, Bolivar, Willard, Ozark, Republic, Battlefield, Nixa, Branson, Stockton, Pleasant Hope, and Rogersville.

Midnight Hour Announces Limited-Edition Fashion Collaboration with the Edward Gorey Charitable Trust

Sierra Madre, California - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Midnight Hour, a clothing company specializing in gothic and alternative fashion, has announced a limited-edition capsule collection created in collaboration with the Edward Gorey Charitable Trust. The seven-piece collection will translate the illustrator's distinctive Victorian dark macabre aesthetic into wearable garments and is scheduled for release during the third week of September 2026.
Edward Gorey was an American writer and artist known for pen-and-ink illustrations that combined Victorian and Edwardian settings with unsettling, darkly humorous narratives. His work, including titles such as "The Gashlycrumb Tinies," is recognized for crosshatched linework, elaborate period costuming, and an atmosphere that balances whimsy with the macabre. The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust manages the artist's creative legacy and licenses his illustrations for select projects.

The collaboration marks the first time Gorey's illustrations have been adapted into a dedicated fashion capsule by Midnight Hour. The collection will feature seven pieces that incorporate Gorey's original artwork and Victorian-inspired detailing into silhouettes drawn from the alternative fashion world. Design elements will reflect the illustrator's signature crosshatch style, period-influenced tailoring, and the shadowy tone that defines his catalog.
"Edward Gorey's illustrations have shaped the visual language of gothic culture for decades, and adapting that work into clothing carried a responsibility to honor his line work and his sense of atmosphere," said Akiko Cook from Midnight Hour. "The goal was to let each of the seven pieces feel like a page from one of his books, rather than a simple print applied to a garment."
The capsule will remain limited in scale, with no plans announced for a restock after the initial release. According to the company, the decision to keep the collection to seven pieces reflects the archival nature of the source material and the terms of the collaboration with the Trust.
"Working directly with the Edward Gorey Charitable Trust allowed the team to draw from the artist's original archive rather than reinterpret it secondhand," Cook said. "That access shaped every stage of the design process and informed the Victorian-inspired construction that runs through the collection."
The timing of the September 2026 release places the collection ahead of the autumn season, a period when interest in gothic and macabre aesthetics traditionally increases. Midnight Hour has positioned the capsule as a standalone tribute to Gorey's body of work rather than a seasonal offering, emphasizing the creative connection between the illustrator's archive and the company's design catalog.


Midnight Hour is a clothing company that specializes in gothic and alternative aesthetic apparel for women, men, and plus size customers. Its catalog includes tops, dresses, skirts, bottoms, swimwear, and loungewear, along with accessories such as jewelry, belts and harnesses, footwear, hosiery, and handbags. The company also offers gothic home decor and maintains a loyalty and rewards program for customers. The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust oversees the preservation and licensing of the late artist's illustrations and literary works.

Girard Heating and Air Conditioning Launches Video Guide Series on Ductless Air Conditioning for Westfield MA Homeowners, Part 1

WESTFIELD, MA - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Girard Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. has launched a new homeowner video-guide series focused on ductless mini split heat pumps, with the first installment now available to residents across Western Massachusetts. Titled "Ductless Air Conditioning: The Anywhere. Anytime AC Solution," Part 1 introduces the fundamentals of Ductless Air Conditioning in Westfield Massachusetts and explains how these systems can serve homes without traditional ductwork.
"We wanted to meet homeowners where they are, which today means video," Girard added. "Each part of the series breaks down a single topic so families can learn at their own pace and understand what fits their home, their comfort needs, and their budget."

The series is designed as a video guide to heat pumps for Westfield Homeowners, walking viewers through cold-climate performance, energy savings, rebates, installation expectations, and the process of selecting a qualified contractor. Part 1 concentrates on the flexibility of ductless technology, which does not require the ductwork associated with conventional central air systems.
According to the video, a single ductless system can cool one room, one area, or an entire home. Common applications highlighted in the guide include creating independent temperature zones, eliminating persistent hot and cold spots, and converting attics, garages, and basements into comfortable, usable living space. The guide also addresses cooling in older homes that lack existing ductwork, along with the ability of a single heat pump to provide both cooling in summer and heating in winter.
The educational material notes that ductless mini splits use inverter technology to achieve high energy efficiency, and that system performance depends heavily on the quality of the installation. For that reason, the guide emphasizes the importance of choosing an experienced installer.
"The goal of this series is to give homeowners clear, straightforward information before they make a decision about their heating and cooling," said Steve Girard, President of Girard Heating and Air Conditioning. "Many people assize that adding air conditioning means tearing into walls to run ductwork throughout the house. Part 1 shows how ductless systems remove that barrier and open up options for nearly any home."
The company reports that interest in ductless air conditioning by Girard Heating and Air Conditioning has grown as more Western Massachusetts households look for efficient ways to cool spaces that traditional systems have struggled to reach.
Girard Heating and Air Conditioning is a family-owned and locally operated HVAC contractor based in Westfield, Massachusetts. The company specializes in heat pumps and ductless systems, offering design, installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement services. It is a Mitsubishi Electric Elite Diamond Contractor, has been recognized nationally as a Ductless All-Star, and has been featured in USA Today. As a Mass Save Partner, the company assists customers in accessing available rebates and incentives for qualifying heat pump systems.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE1jair6chE
The company serves most of Western Massachusetts and the Berkshires, including Springfield, Northampton, North Adams, Amherst, Pittsfield, and Great Barrington. Additional installments in the video-guide series are planned to cover cold-climate winter performance, ducted and hybrid options, and how to evaluate a heat pump contractor.

Direct Home Offers KC Expands Real Estate Financing Guidance for Local Homeowners

KANSAS CITY, MO - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Direct Home Offers KC, a home buying company serving the Kansas City area, has expanded the range of guidance it provides to homeowners navigating property sales, drawing on a consistent record of five-star customer feedback earned across its services.
The company reports that homeowners increasingly seek clarity when deciding how to sell a property, particularly those facing time constraints, inherited homes, or properties in need of repair. In response, Direct Home Offers KC has broadened the informational support available to sellers, connecting them with professional resources and helping them understand the factors that influence the sale of a home.

As part of this expanded approach, the company emphasizes the value of accurate property valuations. Working alongside a qualified real estate appraiser allows homeowners to understand the true market position of their property before making decisions. Direct Home Offers KC notes that this step often gives sellers greater confidence throughout the process.
"Selling a home involves more moving parts than many people expect, and homeowners deserve straightforward information at every step," said a spokesperson for Direct Home Offers KC. "The goal has been to provide the kind of clarity that lets people make decisions with confidence, whether they are selling quickly or simply weighing what makes sense for their circumstances."
The company also highlights the role of guidance in helping homeowners weigh their options. Rather than approaching a sale in isolation, sellers benefit from the perspective of a real estate consultant who can explain available paths, timelines, and considerations specific to each situation. This educational focus reflects the company's broader effort to support informed decision-making across the Kansas City market.
The company attributes much of its reputation to a commitment to transparency and responsiveness. Its five-star reviews, which reflect feedback from homeowners across the region, point to consistent communication and a process designed to reduce the stress often associated with property transactions. A sample of this feedback can be found among the company's published reviews.
"Feedback from homeowners has shaped how the process works today," the spokesperson added. "Listening to the concerns people raise, particularly around valuation and financing, has helped refine the support offered and made the experience more predictable for those involved."
Direct Home Offers KC states that questions surrounding real estate financing frequently arise during conversations with homeowners, and the company aims to help sellers understand how such considerations may affect their timelines and outcomes. By addressing these topics early, the company works to prevent surprises later in the process.
The expanded guidance is available to homeowners throughout the Kansas City area who are exploring the sale of a residential property. Direct Home Offers KC continues to focus on delivering a process rooted in transparency, professional resources, and attention to the individual needs of each seller.

Watkins Heating & Cooling Highlights Sustained 5-Star Reputation for AC Repair in Dayton Ohio

DAYTON, OH - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Watkins Heating & Cooling in Dayton, Ohio, has reached a customer satisfaction milestone, maintaining a 4.9-star average across more than 740 Google reviews after three decades of operation in the Miami Valley and Greater Dayton areas. The company offers repair services for air conditioning units, furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, and oil furnaces, along with replacement and maintenance for residential and commercial systems.
The rating reflects feedback from residential and commercial customers who have used the company's repair, replacement, and maintenance services over the years. As a family-owned business with more than 30 years in the community, the company attributes the consistent scores to a workforce of trained technicians who are direct employees rather than subcontractors.
The milestone arrives as area homeowners prepare for the transition between cooling and heating seasons, a period that typically brings increased demand for both air conditioning service and furnace repair. Seasonal temperature swings in the region often reveal system issues that developed during months of continuous use, prompting many households to schedule inspections before extreme weather sets in.
"Reaching more than 740 reviews at a 4.9-star average is the result of years of steady work rather than any single moment," said David Watkins, owner of Watkins Heating & Cooling. "Every technician on staff is a full employee, and that structure allows the company to hold consistent standards on repair and maintenance calls across the Dayton area."
Watkins Heating & Cooling has been recognized as a Flagship Dealer for Trane and has received the Trane Dealer Award for service. The company also holds the Better Business Bureau Eclipse Award for Integrity, an acknowledgment tied to its business practices and transparency in pricing.
"Furnace Repair questions tend to increase sharply once the first cold nights arrive, and scheduling an inspection ahead of that demand often prevents a small issue from becoming a larger one," Watkins said. "The goal has always been to give homeowners clear information and up-front pricing so they can make decisions that fit their households."
Beyond repair work, the company provides system replacement options, including geothermal heat pump systems and ductless mini-split heat pumps, as well as indoor air quality products. Maintenance offerings cover air conditioners and gas furnaces, with guidance on filter replacement intervals and other steps that can extend equipment life.
The company reports that its same-day emergency air conditioning service remains available for customers who experience system failures during periods of high demand.

HomeStar Windows & Doors Releases Efficiency Planning Resource for Provo Homeowners

PROVO, UT - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
HomeStar Windows & Doors - Provo, UT has published a new educational resource to help Provo homeowners understand energy efficiency as a baseline expectation when replacing windows and doors. The company introduced the HomeStar Windows & Doors 2026 Window Efficiency Planning Guide to address a shift in how Utah households evaluate replacement projects, with performance now weighed as heavily as appearance and price.
Energy efficiency has moved from an upgrade to a standard consideration in recent years. As older single-pane and early double-pane windows reach the end of their service life, homeowners across Provo are examining how modern products handle Utah's temperature swings, winter drafts, and summer heat. The guide explains the factors that determine real-world window performance so that households can compare options with a clearer understanding before beginning a project.

The resource walks through glass packages and how Low-E coatings reduce heat transfer and block ultraviolet light. It compares double-pane and triple-pane construction, explaining when each makes sense for a given home. It also covers warm-edge spacers, which help limit condensation along the edge of the glass, and frame materials that affect insulation, durability, and maintenance over time.
Installation quality receives particular attention. According to the company, even a high-performing window can underperform when air leakage occurs around a poorly fitted frame. The guide encourages homeowners to review workmanship warranties alongside product warranties, and to consider how proper installation influences comfort, drafts, and long-term utility costs.
"Homeowners often focus on the glass alone, but efficiency is the result of many parts working together," said Jessica Balser, spokesperson for HomeStar Windows & Doors. "Understanding coatings, spacers, frame materials, and installation quality helps people make a decision they will be comfortable with for decades."
The guide connects these technical details to everyday concerns. Drafts near seating areas, condensation on interior glass, uneven indoor temperatures, and rising heating and cooling bills are common reasons Utah homeowners begin looking at replacement products. The resource frames these issues as signs worth evaluating rather than problems to tolerate, while also noting how updated windows can contribute to curb appeal and comfort throughout the year.
"The goal is to help people ask better questions before they buy," Balser added. "When a homeowner knows what to look for, the conversation becomes about matching the right product to their home and Utah's climate."
The company notes that replacement windows by HomeStar Windows & Doors are selected with the local climate in mind, drawing from products offered by several manufacturers so that households can compare styles, brands, and price points. In-home consultations allow homeowners to review the same factors outlined in the guide with measurements specific to their property.


HomeStar Windows & Doors is a licensed and insured Utah contractor specializing in the installation of replacement windows, entry doors, patio doors, and pet doors. The company uses its own installation crews rather than subcontractors and provides lifetime workmanship coverage on every install. With a showroom in Provo and hundreds of completed projects across the region, HomeStar Windows & Doors serves Provo and nearby communities.

Paez Defense Provides Guidance on New Florida Domestic Violence Law Affecting Injunction Violations

August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Paez Defense provides guidance on the effects of Florida’s new domestic violence law, particularly on alleged violations of injunction orders.
Under CS/CS/HB 277, which took effect July 1, 2026, a person with one prior conviction for a crime of domestic violence or for violating an injunction or foreign protection order who subsequently violates an injunction or foreign protection order against the same victim commits a third-degree felony. The legal change revises aspects of the state’s approach to repeat violations, enforcement, and electronic monitoring in certain jurisdictions.
​Paez Defense provides legal representation to individuals whose injunction cases may be affected by these legislative changes. For people facing these allegations, the precise terms of a protective injunction, the history of prior cases, and the facts surrounding alleged contact can significantly affect how a criminal case proceeds. Those details may shape the charge, the defense strategy, and the case outcome.
​Led by attorney Jose Paez, Paez Defense represents individuals across Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, and surrounding South Florida communities facing serious criminal allegations, including alleged violations of protective injunctions.
​Under Florida law, an injunction for protection is a court order that may limit contact between named parties and impose other conditions. The terms can prohibit direct or indirect communication, restrict entry into particular locations, require a person to stay a specified distance away, or impose conditions related to firearms.
​For people with prior cases involving an injunction or foreign protection order, that change may have consequences. A violation that would otherwise be charged as a first-degree misdemeanor constitutes a third-degree felony when the statutory requirements are met. For an accused person, the applicable charge depends on the record, the type of order involved, the alleged conduct, and other facts considered by the court and prosecuting authorities.
​Florida’s recent law also established separate electronic-monitoring pilot programs for qualifying cases. The misdemeanor pilot program operates in Pinellas County, while the felony pilot program operates in the Sixth Judicial Circuit, which includes Pinellas and Pasco counties. Both programs began July 1, 2026, and are scheduled to end June 30, 2028. The statewide legislative changes and pilot programs underscore the importance of understanding the conditions imposed by a court and the procedural status of an individual case.
​An allegation involving a violation of an injunction may arise from many circumstances. For the person accused, an allegation may involve an in-person interaction, a telephone call, a text message, an email, activity on a digital platform, communication through another person, or a visit to a location identified in the injunction. The legal significance of each circumstance depends on the language of the court order and the evidence concerning what occurred.
​For a person facing charges, the review of a case may include the injunction itself, the service and notice records, law-enforcement reports, communications, digital records, witness accounts, video evidence, and the timing of the events.
​An alleged violation of an injunction can also overlap with other court-imposed restrictions. In a criminal case, a judge may issue a no-contact condition as part of pretrial release, probation, or another court order. A civil injunction for protection and a criminal no-contact condition are separate legal mechanisms, although both may apply to the same individuals at the same time. The obligations and consequences associated with each restriction may differ.
​Jose Paez brings courtroom and prosecutorial experience to the firm’s criminal defense work. Before entering private practice, Paez served at the Broward State Attorney’s Office. He has handled cases ranging from misdemeanors to serious felony matters. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Broward County Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Section for the 2026 term.
​Based in Fort Lauderdale, Paez Defense defends clients throughout Broward County and nearby South Florida communities against domestic violence allegations, injunction violations, firearm offenses, property crimes, and probation matters.
​More information about the firm’s work involving violation of injunction matters is available on its website, https://paezdefense.com/.

The Cleaning Crew Charleston Highlights Window Cleaning as Final Step in Post-Construction Property Cleanup

CHARLESTON, SC - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
The Cleaning Crew Charleston, a locally owned and operated house cleaning service, is drawing attention to the role of professional window cleaning as the essential final step in preparing a newly built or renovated property for use. The company reports that dust and residue left on glass surfaces after construction work often remain overlooked, undermining otherwise complete cleanup efforts.
Construction and renovation projects generate fine particulate dust, adhesive residue, paint splatter, and grime that settle across every surface, including windows and glass fixtures. According to the company, windows are frequently among the last areas addressed and among the most visibly affected once occupants move in. Clean, streak-free glass allows natural light to fill a space and signals that a property is genuinely ready for occupancy.

The Cleaning Crew Charleston post-construction cleaning service is structured to clear clutter, remove dust, and dispose of construction debris so that a completed project is immaculate and ready for use. The company notes that thorough window treatment is integrated into this process rather than treated as an afterthought, addressing both interior and exterior glass surfaces along with frames and sills where debris tends to accumulate.
Chris, a spokesperson for The Cleaning Crew Charleston, explained the reasoning behind the emphasis. "A construction site can look finished, but until the windows are properly cleaned, the space is not truly complete," Chris said. "Dust travels everywhere during a build, and glass shows every trace of it. Treating window cleaning as the final step gives property owners a clear, honest view of the finished result."
The company observes that improper window cleaning after construction can lead to lasting problems. Fine grit dragged across glass without the correct technique or tools can leave permanent scratches, and hardened residue such as paint or sealant requires careful handling to remove safely. For this reason, The Cleaning Crew Charleston applies specific methods and equipment suited to post-construction conditions.
"Every project is different, and the debris left behind depends on the type of work that was done," Chris added. "The goal is always the same, which is to leave no trace of dust or residue behind so the property owner can settle in without a second thought."
Post-construction cleaning is one of several services offered by the company, alongside move-in and move-out cleaning, routine maintenance, residential maid service, and deep cleaning service. Each cleaning is carried out by vetted personnel using professional-grade products and equipment. The company applies a rigorous selection process for its cleaners, with a small fraction of applicants meeting the standards required to join the team.
The Cleaning Crew Charleston serves homeowners, renters, and property managers throughout the Charleston, South Carolina area. The company emphasizes a customer-first approach that includes a straightforward booking system, online payments, and consistent communication throughout each project. It also stands behind its work with a satisfaction guarantee that provides for a re-clean within a seven-day window when a client is not satisfied with the initial result.


The Cleaning Crew Charleston continues to focus on delivering thorough, reliable cleaning services to the local community, with attention to the details that determine whether a space is truly finished.

Keathley Landscaping Expands Professional Sod Grass Installation Services Across North Texas

GARLAND, TX - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Keathley Landscaping, a full-service landscaping company operating since 2002, has expanded its professional sod installation offerings to meet rising demand from homeowners seeking to replace damaged or bare lawns throughout the North Texas region. The company reports that most residential projects can be completed within one to three days, depending on property size.
The expansion reflects a growing interest among area residents in fast lawn transformation as an alternative to seeding from scratch. Sod installation allows homeowners to move from bare dirt to an established lawn in a matter of days rather than the weeks or months required for traditional seeding methods. The company provides sod service to communities including Wylie, Lavon, Plano, Garland, and surrounding areas.

Keathley Landscaping works with several grass varieties to match local soil and light conditions, including St. Augustine, Zoysia, Bermuda, and Tall Fescue. The installation process begins with removing existing plants and preparing the soil, followed by addressing underlying issues such as pests, drainage problems, or weeds before the new turf is laid.
"Sod installation is about far more than laying down grass," said Logan Keathley, owner of Keathley Landscaping. "Soil preparation and proper grass selection determine whether a lawn thrives or struggles. The goal is to give homeowners a lawn that establishes quickly and holds up over time, which is why each project starts with an assessment of the site conditions."
The company notes that a well-maintained lawn contributes both to the appearance of a property and to its overall value. As part of the expanded sod service Wylie residents and neighboring homeowners can access, Keathley Landscaping evaluates each yard before recommending a grass type and installation approach suited to the specific location.
Beyond turf work, Keathley Landscaping addresses drainage challenges that often affect lawn health. Logan Keathley holds certification as an NDS Certified Drainage Contractor, allowing the company to combine sod installation with solutions for standing water and poor grading. Options range from French drains and regrading to custom-designed buried drainage systems.
"Drainage and lawn health go hand in hand," Keathley added. "A new lawn will not last if water pools in the yard or the grading works against it. Solving those underlying problems first is part of doing the job properly."
Interest in Keathley Landscaping sod work has grown alongside the company's broader landscaping portfolio, which includes landscape design and construction, patios, decks, pergolas, fences, stonework, flowerbeds, and lawn care and maintenance. This range allows the company to handle both standalone sod projects and larger outdoor renovations.

RTZEN Introduces Educational Guide on Curtain Holdbacks and Wrought Iron Tiebacks

Red Hill Manor, Delaware - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
RTZEN, a family-owned wrought iron décor brand rooted in traditional blacksmithing, has launched a comprehensive educational hub focused on helping homeowners select curtain holdbacks based on function as well as appearance. The new resource addresses a frequently overlooked aspect of window design, where hardware is often chosen for looks alone rather than for how it supports and shapes curtains.
Curtain holdbacks are small pieces of hardware that can materially affect how curtains hang, how much light enters a room, and how finished a window treatment looks. According to RTZEN, selecting the wrong holdback can result in poor curtain clearance, inadequate support for heavy drapes, awkward fabric positioning, or improper installation. The company designed the new material to help homeowners make these decisions with confidence.

The RTZEN Curtain Holdbacks Guide organizes the decision around five practical areas: holdback type, metal and finish, curtain weight and projection, placement and installation, and decorative design. Each area reflects a common point where homeowners struggle when pairing hardware with different curtain styles.
Placement receives dedicated attention because it influences both a curtain's shape and the amount of window and natural light exposed. The RTZEN Curtain Holdback Placement Guide explains how high and how far from the window holdbacks should be installed, giving homeowners concrete reference points rather than guesswork.
The resource uses practical examples to illustrate these considerations. Lightweight sheers have different hardware requirements than heavy blackout or thermal curtains, and fuller curtains require greater projection to accommodate the additional fabric. The RTZEN Heavy Duty Curtain Hooks Guide addresses situations where standard hardware may not provide sufficient support, helping readers understand when heavier-duty options are appropriate for dense or layered drapery.
"Curtain holdbacks are one of the most underestimated details in a room," said Rami Abramson, a representative at RTZEN. "A holdback that is too weak, poorly placed, or wrong for the fabric can change how an entire window looks. The goal of this hub is to help people understand the reasoning behind each choice, so the hardware works with the curtains rather than against them."
The educational effort connects to RTZEN's longstanding work in handcrafted ironwork. The brand's curtain holdbacks combine functional hardware with decorative wrought iron, and the company applies durability-focused construction such as zinc protection and powder coating to its pieces. This background informs the practical, function-first perspective that runs throughout the new guides.
"Our approach comes from the workshop," Abramson added. "When something is hand-forged to last, the way it performs matters as much as the way it looks. That same standard shaped how the guide was written."


Established in 1997 and operated by Iron-Craft, RTZEN specializes in handcrafted wrought iron products for home and office use, including hooks, holders, hangers, curtain holdbacks, planter hooks, and decorative accents. The family-owned, founder-led brand preserves traditional blacksmithing techniques while creating functional pieces built for daily use across farmhouse, modern, classic, vintage, bohemian, and minimalist interiors. RTZEN builds its work around three pillars of craftsmanship, quality and durability, and style, and backs its wrought iron products with a Lifetime Warranty.

Voda Cleaning & Restoration of Phoenix Shares Monsoon Season Water Damage Guidance for Local Property Owners

CHANDLER, AZ - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
As monsoon season brings heavy rains, flash flooding, and sudden storms across the Phoenix metropolitan area, Voda Cleaning & Restoration of Phoenix is offering local property owners practical guidance on how to respond when water intrudes into homes and businesses. The company is highlighting the steps residents can take in the critical hours after flooding, slab leaks, and summer pipe bursts to limit the property damage that often follows.
Seasonal weather in central Arizona frequently produces intense, short-duration storms that overwhelm drainage systems and force water into structures. Combined with the strain that summer heat places on aging plumbing, these conditions create a higher risk of slab leaks and burst pipes during the warmer months. Property owners who understand what to do immediately are often better positioned to reduce the scope of the damage.
According to the company, secondary damage represents one of the most overlooked risks. Mold can begin growing in as little as 48 hours after water intrusion, and lingering moisture can weaken drywall, flooring, and structural materials long after the visible water is gone. The company advises property owners to prioritize safety, stop the water source when it is safe to do so, document the damage for insurance purposes, and contact certified professionals for emergency water cleanup as quickly as possible.
"Time is the single most important factor once water enters a property," said Jeff Ragan, owner of Voda Cleaning & Restoration of Phoenix. "The first day or two determines whether a situation stays manageable or turns into a much larger project involving mold and structural repairs. The goal in sharing this information is to help local families and business owners act with confidence during monsoon season rather than waiting and hoping the problem resolves on its own."
Ragan noted that many property owners underestimate how far water travels beyond the areas they can see. Moisture often migrates into wall cavities, subflooring, and insulation, where it remains trapped without proper extraction and drying equipment. Professional restoration relies on moisture detection tools and industrial drying processes to address these hidden pockets before they contribute to long-term problems.
"Documentation matters just as much as the cleanup itself," Ragan added. "Photographing the damage, keeping records, and understanding the insurance process can make recovery far less stressful. Property owners have more control over the outcome than they often realize, and that starts with fast, informed action."
The company also reminds residents that emergency water cleanup situations can occur at any hour, and that preparation before a storm arrives, including knowing the location of main water shutoff valves, can save valuable time during an actual event.


Voda Cleaning & Restoration of Phoenix provides cleaning and restoration services for residential and commercial properties throughout the Phoenix and Chandler, Arizona area. Services include water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage restoration, mold remediation, storm damage restoration, air duct cleaning, biohazard cleanup, carpet cleaning, odor removal, tile and grout cleaning, and upholstery cleaning. The company employs trained, IICRC certified technicians and assists property owners throughout the insurance claims process.

Quality Water Treatment Expands Authorized WaterDrop Filter Collection for Point-of-Use Filtration

Box Elder, South Dakota - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Most tap water carries a mix of minerals, metals, and residual treatment chemicals that together make up its total dissolved solids, or TDS, reading. While not all TDS is harmful, a measurement in the range of zero to 50 parts per million is generally regarded as the benchmark for very clean drinking water. That standard has prompted a growing number of households to consider point-of-use options such as reverse osmosis rather than relying on whole-house treatment alone. Quality Water Treatment now serves as an authorized dealer for the WaterDrop Water Filter collection, helping homeowners navigate that choice with genuine parts and consultation.
The lineup available through Quality Water Treatment spans several reverse osmosis tiers. The G2 series offers compact tankless filtration suited to smaller households, while the G3 series functions as a higher-capacity tankless option featuring a smart faucet and a TDS display. Recent additions include the WaterDrop T3-M 450G Remineralization RO system and the T4-A 450GPD Alkaline Dual Flow RO system, both of which add mineral-reintroduction stages after filtration for households that prefer minerals returned to their water.

For those seeking simpler point-of-use filtration without reverse osmosis, the collection also includes a five-stage Under Sink Direct Connect Filtration System and an Under Sink Integrated Dual Carbon Filtration System. To support ongoing maintenance, replacement filter cartridges for the G2 and G3 series remain readily available. As an authorized WaterDrop dealer, Quality Water Treatment supplies genuine components, a distinction from many third-party marketplace listings.
"Choosing between reverse osmosis and under-sink filtration depends heavily on a household's specific water profile, not on a single retail recommendation," said a representative for Quality Water Treatment. "The goal is to match the right WaterDrop Filter to the water a family actually has, then support that system over time with genuine replacement parts."
To assist that decision, the company operates a free water analysis and sizing tool it calls the Water Intelligence Engine, which generates recommendations based on a household's individual water characteristics. That resource reflects a consultation-focused approach the company has maintained since its founding.
"A family-owned company that has worked in water treatment for more than three decades tends to think in terms of long-term fit," the representative added. "Consultation before and after a purchase matters as much as the equipment itself, and the range of WaterDrop Filters allows for genuinely different solutions rather than one-size-fits-all answers."


Quality Water Treatment, also known as QWT, is a family-owned water treatment company operating since 1990. The company provides water softeners, filtration systems, generators, and ionizers for both city and well water sources, representing brands that include SoftPro, Fleck by Pentair, and WaterDrop. Its offerings cover residential and commercial water softeners, whole-home filtration, structured water products, and alkaline water ionizers, alongside point-of-use systems for households addressing specific water quality concerns.

Florida Coastal Contractors LLC Reaches 100 Reviews on Google Business Profile

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Florida Coastal Contractors LLC, a state-certified building and pool contractor based in St. Augustine, has reached a milestone of 100 reviews on its Google Business Profile. The achievement reflects the volume of outdoor construction projects the company has completed for homeowners across St. Johns County.
The company operates as a local design-and-build firm focused on transforming backyards into functional outdoor living spaces. Its services include custom swimming pool construction, custom outdoor kitchen construction, pergola construction, paver patio installation, paver driveway installation, pavilion construction, and screen enclosure installation.

The collection of Florida Coastal Contractors LLC reviews spans the full range of the company's project types, from pool builds to screened enclosures. The 100-review mark represents feedback gathered over years of work in the St. Augustine area, where the firm handles both new installations and renovations.
"Reaching 100 reviews marks a meaningful point for the team," said Jessica Shafer, spokesperson for Florida Coastal Contractors LLC. "Each review reflects a completed project and a homeowner who trusted the company to build something that becomes part of daily life. The feedback also helps the design team understand what matters most to clients across the region."
The company reports that outdoor living projects have grown in popularity throughout St. Johns County as homeowners look to expand usable space beyond the walls of their homes. Swimming pools, outdoor kitchens, and covered structures such as pergolas and pavilions allow families to spend more time outdoors during Florida's extended warm season.
As the outdoor living area experts at Florida Coastal Contractors LLC continue to expand their portfolio, the company has emphasized its role as a single-source provider for exterior projects. Rather than coordinating multiple trades, homeowners work with one contractor from initial consultation through final construction.
"The design-and-build approach keeps every stage of a project under one roof," Shafer added. "That structure allows the team to manage timelines, materials, and installation as a connected process, which is reflected in much of the feedback the company has received."
Paver installation remains a central part of the company's work. Paver patios and paver driveways provide durable surfaces that suit a range of property styles, while screen enclosures give homeowners protected outdoor rooms. Pergolas and pavilions add shade and structure to yards, decks, and paver surfaces.
The company serves St. Augustine and the surrounding communities of St. Johns County. As a state-certified building contractor and pool contractor, Florida Coastal Contractors LLC is licensed, bonded, and insured.

Leg Extension and Curl Machine Launched for Home-Based Lower-Body Workouts by Strongway Gym Supplies

Coventry, UK - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Strongway Gym Supplies has announced the availability of a leg extension and curl machine for home-based strength training, adding a dedicated lower-body station to its expanding fitness equipment range. The machine is designed around two established resistance exercises, bringing leg extension and leg curl movements together within a single unit intended for domestic workout spaces.
The latest release provides a focused option for training the quadriceps and hamstring muscle groups. A seated position supports leg extension movements, while the machine can also be configured for leg curls, allowing opposing areas of the upper leg to be trained using the same piece of equipment. The arrangement gives home gym users another way to include targeted lower-body work alongside free weights, racks and other resistance equipment.

Product information and specifications such as the weight loading capacity and the range of exercises possible can be viewed at: https://strongway.co.uk/products/strongway-leg-curl-and-extension-machine.
Dedicated lower-body machines can have a practical role in home gyms where exercise variety is important but available space is limited. Rather than requiring separate stations for extension and curl movements, a combined machine brings both functions into one frame. This can make it easier to include direct leg exercises within a wider routine covering the upper body, lower body and core.
The machine can be incorporated into different training formats depending on the structure of a workout. Traditional resistance sessions may place leg extensions and curls alongside squats, lunges and other compound movements, while shorter circuits can use the machine as one station among several. Resistance levels and repetitions can be adjusted to suit the intended session, with appropriate technique and loading remaining important during use.
Research into home exercise has also examined the broader role of accessible training arrangements. A 2022 review titled “Home-fitness and active ageing: A review”, published in the Scientific Journal of Sport and Performance and conducted at the University of Urbino “Carlo Bo” in Urbino, Italy, found that regular home-based exercise can play a key role in maintaining physical and cognitive health in adults. Conducted by Capriotti A, Patregnani V, and Federici A, the review concluded that individuals engaging in consistent physical activity at home tend to experience a higher quality of life than less active individuals, highlighting the importance of accessible exercise strategies for healthy ageing.
The findings provide useful context for equipment that allows particular muscle groups to be trained within a home setting. A dedicated leg machine can form part of a consistent exercise programme by providing a repeatable setup for lower-body movements. Its use can also complement broader training sessions involving dumbbells, barbells, cable systems or cardiovascular equipment.
Strongway Gym Supplies continues to maintain a wider selection of equipment intended for residential fitness areas, with products covering strength training, free weights, cardio exercise and related gym accessories.
Those wishing to discover the extended range of home fitness equipment including barbells, dumbbells, weight benches, and more, can visit: https://strongway.co.uk/.
Home gyms are often assembled according to the space available and the type of training being undertaken. For some users, a combination of free weights and multifunctional machines provides sufficient exercise choice, while others may favour equipment designed around particular movements. A combined extension and curl machine offers a more specialised addition, particularly for routines where direct quadriceps and hamstring exercises form part of the programme.
The equipment may also be used alongside compound lower-body exercises rather than as a replacement for them. Squats and lunges involve several muscle groups and can form the main movements in a strength session, with extensions and curls providing more targeted work. This distinction can be useful when arranging a balanced home routine, particularly where training plans include exercises with different movement demands.
The release adds a dedicated lower-body option to Strongway Gym Supplies’ existing home fitness catalogue. By incorporating leg extension and curl functions within one machine, the latest equipment provides a straightforward way to add targeted resistance exercises without installing two separate stations. The announcement reflects the continued development of home gym equipment aimed at supporting varied training routines within domestic environments.


Further coverage of the product is available in the company’s previous article about the leg extension and curl machine, which outlines its availability for home-based workouts and its position within the wider Strongway Gym Supplies range.

Relocated Shop Details Its Cooling System Repair Service

Hermosa Beach, California - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Luxury Motors of South Bay has relocated its European and German auto repair shop to 505 Pacific Coast Highway in Hermosa Beach, and is using the move to detail one of the services it handles most through late summer. High ambient temperatures put extra load on vehicle cooling systems, and the parts that tend to fail first are the plastic thermostat housings, water pumps, and expansion tanks common on German engines.

BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche cooling systems rely on composite parts that grow brittle with heat cycling and age. On BMW N52, N54, and N55 engines, the thermostat housing assembly is one of the most common failures, and a slow coolant leak that goes unnoticed in mild weather can boil over once ambient temperatures climb. The shop handles this work through its cooling system repair service, detailed at luxurymotorssouthbay.com/cooling-system-repair.
Cooling work on these makes is not one repair but a family of related ones. On BMW models the shop commonly replaces the electric water pump and thermostat as a pair, since the two share a duty cycle and tend to fail within a similar window. Audi and Volkswagen engines bring their own pattern, with the plastic coolant flange and pump housing being frequent sources of a slow weep. Porsche Cayenne and Panamera models add coolant transfer pipes and lines that run hot under load, and Mercedes-Benz vehicles see auxiliary pumps and expansion tanks give out with age.

Warning signs the shop tells owners to watch for include a temperature gauge that creeps above normal, a sweet coolant smell, a low coolant level, or white residue near hoses and the expansion tank. Because Southern California driving means no seasonal downtime, a marginal cooling system rarely gets a rest, and catching a failing water pump or a seeping hose early is far less costly than repairing a warped cylinder head after an overheat.
Coolant chemistry matters as much as the parts. German systems are engineered around a specific coolant type, and topping off with a universal fill or mixing two incompatible formulas can leave a gel or scale that clogs the radiator and heater core over time. The shop drains and refills with the manufacturer-specified coolant, then runs a pressure test and a system bleed so no air pocket hides behind a normal-looking gauge.
A summer cooling check fits naturally into European and German auto repair scheduling alongside oil service and a brake inspection. The shop folds a coolant condition and pressure check into routine maintenance, using manufacturer-specified coolant rather than a universal fill that can react poorly with German system materials.

"Overheating is one of the few failures that can turn a small repair into an engine problem in a matter of minutes," said Shawn Baker, owner and ASE Certified Master Technician at Luxury Motors of South Bay. "On German cars the plastic cooling parts get brittle with age and heat, so summer is exactly when a quick check pays for itself."
The shop documents every finding with photos and an itemized estimate before work is approved, and offers concierge pickup and drop-off across the South Bay for owners who would rather not risk a hot commute to the bay. Service is available in English and Spanish, and every repair uses OEM-quality parts installed to manufacturer torque and fill specifications.
The new location keeps that work close to the coastal communities the shop serves. From 505 Pacific Coast Highway, Manhattan Beach sits a few minutes north and Redondo Beach a few minutes south, with El Segundo, Torrance, and Palos Verdes reachable along the same corridor. The shop stocks make-specific composite parts and the manufacturer-specified coolant for each marque it services, and the new site has customer parking on site.
European vehicle owners across the South Bay can find the shop's new address, hours, and cooling system repair details at luxurymotorssouthbay.com.


About Luxury Motors of South Bay Luxury Motors of South Bay is an independent European and German auto repair shop at 505 Pacific Coast Highway in Hermosa Beach, California, serving Porsche, BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz owners across the South Bay.

MCM Composites Draws Attention to Guide Detailing Thermoset Versus Thermoplastic Properties

MANITOWOC, WI - August 24, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
MCM Composites, LLC, a thermoset plastic molding company, has highlighted its educational guide comparing thermoset plastics and thermoplastics, a resource created to help engineers and product designers select the correct material for demanding applications. The guide addresses a common source of confusion, as the two material categories are frequently treated as interchangeable despite behaving very differently when exposed to heat.
Although both material families begin as polymer powders, they react in fundamentally different ways during processing. Thermoset plastics are cured by heat and can be formed only once, developing permanent chemical bonds through a crosslinking reaction. Engineered thermoplastics, by contrast, soften when heated and solidify when cooled, allowing them to be ground and reformed without altering their chemical composition. The guide explains that this difference in molecular structure drives nearly every performance distinction between the two categories.
At the molecular level, thermoplastics consist of linear or branched polymer chains held together by weak secondary bonds that break and reform with heat, which permits repeated melting and solidification cycles. Thermosets form three-dimensional crosslinked networks connected by strong covalent bonds, creating permanent links between chains. Because these crosslinks prevent the material from flowing when heated, thermosets decompose rather than melt at extreme temperatures, a property that gives them exceptional dimensional stability and resistance to creep under load.
The guide details how these structural differences translate into practical performance. Thermoset plastics offer higher impact resistance and durability than many alternatives, along with heat resistance, creep resistance, and suitability for tight tolerances. They are often comparable to metal in strength and rigidity while providing greater corrosion resistance at lower weight. Thermoplastics, meanwhile, deliver excellent flexibility and impact absorption and can be recycled, though they are generally limited to service temperatures below 300 degrees Fahrenheit, while thermosets can perform in applications requiring strength at temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Processing methods differ as well. Thermoplastics are commonly shaped through injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and thermoforming, benefiting from fast cycle times as the material cools quickly. Thermoset processing relies on methods that facilitate crosslinking during manufacturing, including compression molding, reaction injection molding, resin transfer molding, and bulk molding compound techniques. These processes typically require longer cycle times but often produce parts with tighter tolerances and less need for secondary finishing.
Michael Fredrich, Chief Executive Officer of MCM Composites, said the guide reflects the questions the company hears regularly from customers weighing material options. "Engineers come to us assuming the two materials are close substitutes, and then they are surprised by how different the results can be once a part is in service," Fredrich said. "We built this guide so designers can walk through temperature, chemical exposure, dimensional stability, and cost considerations before they commit to tooling, rather than discovering a mismatch after production has started."
The resource also addresses chemical and environmental resistance, an area where thermosets generally outperform thermoplastics because their crosslinked structure resists chemical penetration and ultraviolet degradation. That characteristic makes thermosets well suited to outdoor exposure, marine environments, and contact with industrial oils, fuels, and solvents. Thermoplastics offer good durability under normal conditions, and many engineering grades incorporate stabilizers and additives that improve their resistance to chemicals and weathering.
Recyclability represents one of the clearer trade-offs discussed in the guide. Thermoplastics can be remelted and reformed multiple times, supporting mechanical recycling and circular economy goals, while traditional thermosets have historically been more difficult to recycle because their crosslinked structure cannot simply be remelted. The guide notes that emerging chemical recycling methods and dynamic thermosets known as vitrimers are beginning to narrow that gap.
Fredrich added that material selection rarely comes down to a single factor. "The right answer depends on how the part will actually be used, from operating temperature to load, chemical contact, and expected life," he said. "Our team works with both customers and suppliers to match the application to the material, and this guide gives people a clear starting point for that conversation."
MCM Composites, LLC produces more than 1,000 different parts for customers throughout the United States, Canada, China, Mexico, and the Caribbean in an ISO 9001:2015 certified mold shop. The company specializes in thermoset injection molding and compression molding and offers secondary services that include tapping, drilling, coating, and multi-piece assembly. The guide comparing thermoset and thermoplastic materials, along with additional capabilities information, is available at www.mcmusa.net.
