HomeSphere Revolutionizes Home Product Management With AI-driven My HomeSphere App

HomeSphere

HomeSphere, the foremost platform connecting building product manufacturers to mid-market homebuilders, today launched My HomeSphereTM, an industry-changing mobile app and product suite designed to bring transparency and efficiency to home product management. Unlike any other product available today, the app benefits players along the homebuilding and buying supply chain, with distinct value to builders, manufacturers and homeowners. Visit HomeSphere at the NAHB International Builders’ Show in Booth W4051 in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. My HomeSphere: Transforming Home Product Information The My HomeSphere product suite empowers builders to use their smartphones to capture essential information about products in new homes while on-site, during installation. The data, encompassing appliances, HVAC systems, windows, doors, smart technology and more, syncs seamlessly with HomeSphere’s platform. HomeSphere’s proprietary AI automatically logs model and serial numbers, registers and tracks warranties in a single platform, and creates a comprehensive digital record of the home — with little effort from the builder or homeowner. “HomeSphere is the only company positioned to change data collection for the industry,” said HomeSphere CEO Greg Schwarzer. “We store the largest volume of U.S. home product information through our strong relationships with thousands of homebuilders and building product manufacturers, and we know what’s broken in the supply chain. My HomeSphere is the technology to fix it.” Changing the Landscape of Home Product Management My HomeSphere has the potential to redefine how building products are sourced, tracked and maintained, ushering in a new digital era for the home construction industry. Key Features of My HomeSphere: Creates a first-of-its-kind digital record of a home's products Enhances transparency within home product management Breaks down longstanding supply-chain silos in residential construction Addressing Industry Challenges Before My HomeSphere, builders installed products in homes without knowing how they performed, product manufacturers lacked clarity on product usage, and homeowners were left to fend for themselves, wading through a drawer full of manuals and registration cards. With My HomeSphere: Builders get a precise inventory of products installed in completed homes, simplifying after-sales issue resolution and increasing customer satisfaction. Homeowners gain “at their fingertips” information about the products in their homes so they can capitalize on valuable extended warranty opportunities, typically unclaimed. Building product manufacturers have — for the first time — clarity into where products are being used and by whom, facilitating customer relationships, mitigating risks and managing issues such as product defects or recalls. The Future of Home Product Management In the short term, My HomeSphere streamlines a fragmented supply chain burdened with outdated tracking methods. In the long term, HomeSphere anticipates further technological advancements to create an expansive network connecting the country’s 140 million homeowners with the manufacturers, contractors and installers that keep their homes running. “Each year in the U.S., millions of new homes are built, with an average of 15 branded products per home,” said HomeSphere Executive Chairman Glenn Renner. “No single company has ever captured this product data, yet it represents unprecedented value to homeowners, builders and product manufacturers. Our mission is to change that with a digital record of the U.S. housing stock accessible to millions of homeowners and the entire universe of builders, contractors and manufacturers. The My HomeSphere technology, paired with our experience, uniquely positioned us to execute this industry-changing vision.” About HomeSphere HomeSphere is a leading data platform connecting the residential construction industry. With 25 years of experience, HomeSphere aggregates data on products installed in over 250,000 homes annually, fostering transparency and efficiency throughout the process, from the product manufacturer to its end user, the homeowner. My HomeSphere represents a leap forward in home product management, revolutionizing how information is sourced, tracked and maintained.

HomeSphere, the leading platform connecting building product manufacturers to mid-market homebuilders, today announced its latest partnership with a homebuilding industry service provider.

Their proprietary software integrates with any trade or manufacturer, but HomeSphere builders have an exclusive opportunity to increase returns when they pair brands like Leviton Manufacturing and Progress Lighting with Aterra’s services. “Historically, our builders have doubled and sometimes even tripled their sales of lighting, electrical and home technologies. All this, along with receiving better documentation which reduces field errors,” said Aterra Designs President Paul Salmonson. “We look forward to extending this opportunity to HomeSphere builders so they can improve their profitability, connect to a new way of lighting their homes, and create a better customer experience.” Aterra Designs’ recently revamped Luminosity services offer a virtual electrical design tool with real-time lighting and pricing tied directly into the supply chain. Based on builder options, Luminosity generates orders and trade-specific information for installation, purchase orders, and bills of materials, saving homebuilders additional time and costs while increasing the beauty and efficiency of a new home. “We are continually adding valuable partnerships that enable our builders to construct better homes, improve margins and increase customer satisfaction,” said Schwarzer. “Aterra is a new offering, a new category and their services give our builders a new way to attract buyers. It's a win-win-win.” About HomeSphere Established in 1999, HomeSphere connects local and regional homebuilders to exclusive rebate offerings.

Everlodge Gains Momentum in Real Estate Sector as Interest in Avalanche (AVAX) and Cardano (ADA) Wanes

Everlodge

As the crypto market shows signs of retracement from its recent bullish momentum, top crypto coins such as Avalanche (AVAX) and Cardano (ADA) have witnessed a noticeable slowdown in their price trajectories. However, the same cannot be said for Everlodge (ELDG). Following the completion of its successful presale campaign, Everlodge has been drawing increased attention, particularly with its ongoing listing on tier-1 exchanges. This listing has continued to fuel purchasing activities for the cryptocurrency, setting it apart from the declining interest in AVAX and ADA alike. Everlodge (ELDG) Makes Strides in the Real Estate Niche With Growing Enthusiasm Among Investors Everlodge (ELDG) is slowly making a name for itself in the fast-growing multi-trillion-dollar real estate industry. The project stands out by leveraging innovative technology to digitize real-world assets (RWAs) into non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This groundbreaking approach enables potential investors to conveniently and affordably access co-ownership opportunities, with a minimum investment threshold as low as $100. The underlying concept behind Everlodge is to introduce fractional ownership in diverse real estate assets, ranging from vacation homes to hotels and luxurious villas. By doing so, the project disrupts the traditional norms of real estate investment, making it more accessible and flexible for individuals to participate in this lucrative market. Following a successful presale that propelled the ELDG token from $0.01 to $0.029, Everlodge is now well-positioned for even more exponential growth, further supported by its recent listing on Uniswap. With ambitious plans to expand its market presence through additional listings on tier-1 exchanges, Everlodge emerges as one of the top crypto coins for investment, offering long-term profitability. Meanwhile, the team has taken measures to ensure market stability and safeguard investors' interests by committing to lock the team tokens for two years and the liquidity pool for eight years, effectively mitigating potential market volatility. These steps solidify Everlodge's appeal as a promising cryptocurrency worth considering. Beyond its core offering of fractional ownership, Everlodge presents a range of enticing features. These include a dedicated loan platform, a reward club, discounted rental fees on co-owned properties, trade discounts, a marketplace, and a launchpad for aspiring property developers. These additional features further underscore the overall value proposition of Everlodge, making it an attractive choice for investors seeking exposure to the real estate market in a novel yet dynamic way. Avalanche (AVAX) Faces Uncertain Price Outlook as Bullish Momentum Depreciates After recently trading above a weekly high of $43, Avalanche (AVAX) price has made a sharp turn towards the downside. Notably, AVAX token has lost almost all its weekly gains as it makes its way back to the weekly entry point around $38. Currently trading above $39, with a weekly price range of $38.7 to $39.5, the Avalanche token has managed to retain some positivity, with a modest increase of just over 1.50% over the past week. In contrast, earlier in the week, the AVAX token surged by as much as 21%, soaring from $35.8 to $43.0. However, given the recent decline in AVAX token price, it remains uncertain whether the token can maintain stability around its initial weekly entry point or if the ongoing dip will lead to further declines in the near future. Cardano (ADA) Faces Uncertainties As Price Fluctuation Looms Cardano (ADA) is also experiencing price fluctuations, although it has not suffered significant losses. The weekly price chart for ADA still shows a nearly 10% increase. However, when compared to its peak price of $0.61, which represented a gain of over 15% at the time, it is evident that ADA is struggling to maintain stability. Currently trading above the $0.58 level, with a weekly price range of $0.53 to $0.59, the ADA price demonstrates relative stability while continuing on a reversal trend. Looking ahead, Everlodge presents more promising prospects compared to several other top crypto coins as it prepares to list on additional top-tier exchanges. This not only provides potential investors with an edge against market fluctuations but also positions Everlodge in a more lucrative landscape compared to tokens like AVAX and ADA. For more information about Everlodge (ELDG) please visit their website. Everlodge provides you with a seamless approach to fractional investing in vacation rentals, eliminating the complexities associated with traditional real estate investment. Our innovative platform revolutionizes the way people invest in second homes. Disclaimer: Digital currencies may be unregulated in your jurisdiction.

Price Rally for Cardano (ADA) and Uniswap (UNI) Signals the Start of Alt Season, Everlodge (ELDG) Prepares for Tier-1 Listing

Everlodge

Several tokens in the crypto market are experiencing bullish sentiments, which experts believe could be the start of the alt season. Some of these tokens on a rally include Cardano (ADA) and Uniswap (UNI). Meanwhile, following the end of the Everlodge (ELDG) presale, the token has been listed on Uniswap and looking forward to listing on other tier-1 exchanges. Its surging momentum has put it on the investor's list of top cryptos to invest in 2024. Everlodge (ELDG) Continues its High Sales Despite Conclusion of its Presale Phase Everlodge (ELDG) has continued to see a significant uptrend in the number of investors buying the token on Uniswap. As a result, the Everlodge project is looking to expand its reach by listing on other mainstream tier-1 exchanges in the coming months. Meanwhile, the increased buying by investors is tied to ELDG's massive potential for growth. Having already generated up to 190% ROI for early investors, ELDG is on course to oversee over 350% growth within the year. This makes ELDG one of the top cryptos to invest in 2024. For context, Everlodge is a platform that's looking to positively change the way individuals invest in real estate assets by making them affordable, secure, and profitable. To achieve this, Everlodge has created fractionalized NFTs, which are backed by multimillion-dollar real-world property assets from across the globe. As such, investors who buy these cheap fractionalized NFTs will co-own parts of luxury properties and benefit from the revenue that the properties will generate. With as little as $100, investors can purchase the NFTs that represent these properties. With this investment model, individuals will not need exponential capital before they can invest in real estate. As the value of these properties increases so will the NFT values increase. Meanwhile, the ELDG native token of the Everlodge ecosystem has been making waves in the market, having just concluded its presale phase. With its massive growth potential, investors are buying more ELDG to position for the potential price gains coming soon. At the price of only $0.022, ELDG represents one of the top cryptos to buy now for massive gains in 2024. Positive Price Trajectory for Cardano (ADA) Despite Dwindling Trading Volume Cardano (ADA) is on another round of bullish rallies, having witnessed a retracement in January. While the token has been on a rally in the past week, the Cardano trading volume has been on a negative growth in the same timeframe. For context, the price data from CoinMarketCap shows that Cardano has gained up to 10% within the last week. Meanwhile, the trading volume has been on a 30% decline on a day-to-day average since last week. While the declining market activity is a factor that might impede the growth of Cardano, experts believe the bullish momentum of the token will persist for the time being. As such, experts are predicting a 50% ROI from Cardano tokens before the end of Q2 of 2024. Will Uniswap's (UNI) Current Bullish Sentiment Propel it Above the Resistance Level? The price value of Uniswap (UNI) has been on a significant uptrend trajectory since the start of February. According to the market stats, Uniswap has gained over 16% in price value within the last week. This puts the token on the verge of matching its year-to-date price peak of $7.8, which it attained on December 29th, 2023. Meanwhile, the Uniswap trading volume has been on a decline in the past 7 days, thereby arousing fears of a potential bear trend for the token. Nonetheless, experts believe it is only a matter of time before the Uniswap token surpasses the $8 resistance level. For more information about Everlodge (ELDG) please visit their website.

Gutterglove® Shares Tips for Insulating Homes From Winter Weather Concerns

Gutterglove

Gutterglove®, an innovator in the home improvement space focused on people, products, programs, and technology, knows that weathering the winter months can be difficult. As a Tennessee-based company, the Gutterglove team deals with everything from sweltering heat to crippling winter storms each year. Following the recent winter storms that swept through the country, Cullen Rodgers, Product Innovation Manager at Gutterglove, answered some common questions regarding winter-proofing the home. Follow his advice to prepare yourself for the next weather front. What are some gutter issues homeowners might expect in the winter? In very cold climates, snow build-up, ice formation, and overflow due to clogging can all cause gutter issues. Ice damming, while not a gutter or gutter guard issue, can also be very serious as well. Ice dams, which are ridges of ice that form at the edge of a roof, are a direct result of poor or insufficient attic insultation. As heat escapes the roof and melts the snow, the drainage can back up at the edge of the roof where ice damming occurs. This can cause water to back up and potentially enter the home. Ice damming is not caused by gutters or the installation of gutter guards, but it is sometimes unfairly attributed to them due to their proximity to the problem area. Are there any preventative steps homeowners should take to safeguard their gutters in the winter? Unclog gutters if you do not already have high quality gutter guards to protect them from debris buildup. Install gutter guards that can sustain the weight of snow your region may experience. To help prevent ice damming, make sure your roof is properly insulated. Note that some homeowners who experience ice damming or icicle build-up choose to address the issue with heating elements installed on the roof or gutters. Always consult with a licensed electrical contractor in good standing to install any heating products. Is there a risk of water freezing in gutters? What other issues can frozen gutters lead to? Snow can build up in a gutter or on top of gutter guards and freeze. A securely attached gutter and gutter guard that can sustain heavy weight is an important consideration for homeowners. Unclogged gutters that allow water to drain properly during thaw are essential. What types of yearly gutter maintenance should occur in the winter? Make sure gutters are securely attached and in proper working condition. It is also important to clean out gutters if gutter guards have not been installed and sweep or blow off any visible surface debris if guards have been installed. “We talk a lot about fire safety in the fall, flood preparedness in the spring, and heatproofing in the summer,” said Rodgers. “We need to think about the havoc that winter weather can wreak on our homes, too, especially in areas that don’t frequently see snow and ice. I hope this information can help new homeowners avoid damage as we move through the coldest months of the year.” Gutterglove is known for producing the Nation's Most Trusted Gutter Guards®. The company's comprehensive line of do-it-yourself products can be found at major national retailers such as Costco, The Home Depot, Lowes, and Amazon. For professional contractors seeking to offer top-of-the-line gutter protection services, LeafBlaster Pro® by Gutterglove provides a complete range of solutions and is available nationwide at building supply outlets. With a dedication to excellence, a steadfast commitment to integrity, and a spirit of generosity, Gutterglove remains firmly focused on its mission to protect every gutter in every home and continue innovating within the home improvement sector. To learn more about Gutterglove, visit gutterglove.com. Gutterglove® is an innovator in the home improvement space focused on people, products, programs, and technology. They manufacture gutter guards and accessories designed to protect any home, regardless of roof type or gutter size, with both do-it-yourself and professionally installed product options. Their innovation extends beyond products into new programs and technology that deliver seamless support to customers and contractors nationwide.

Protecting Older California Homes from Earthquake Damage – biggest program expansion ever

YourUpdateTV

According to the California Earthquake Authority (which supports and oversees CRMP with Cal OES), there are more than 1.2 million houses in California built before 1980 in high-hazard areas that are vulnerable to collapse or destruction by sliding off the foundation during a strong earthquake. Recently, Chief Mitigation Officer at the California Earthquake Authority, Janiele Maffei, conducted a satellite media tour to spread critical awareness about the importance of seismic retrofits and share resources to help California Homeowners protect their home from earthquake damage. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/bOtBz633hZk On January 10, the California Residential Mitigation Program (CRMP) kicked off the 2024 Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) open registration, during which California homeowners can apply for up to $3,000 in grants to retrofit qualifying pre-1980 homes. Supporting this effort will be an education campaign focused on ZIP Code eligible areas, which aims to spread critical awareness about the grant period, earthquake safety, and residential mitigation including Eureka, San Francisco, Salinas/Monterey, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Palm Springs and San Diego. Registration for the 2024 EBB grant program continues through February 21st. Overall, EBB hopes to provide funding for approximately 6,000 seismic retrofits this year. EBB grants help offset the cost of seismic retrofits that brace the crawl space walls of older homes, when present, and bolt houses to their foundations, making them less vulnerable to earthquake damage. In the ten years since it began, the EBB program has assisted more than 23,000 homeowners in strengthening their homes against earthquake damage. The EBB grant program is administered by the California Residential Mitigation Program ( CRMP ) a Joint Powers Authority between the California Earthquake Authority ( CEA ) and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services ( Cal OES ). Homeowners in 815 high-risk ZIP Codes can apply for grants of up to $3,000 to offset the cost of a seismic retrofit that can help lessen the potential for damage during an earthquake. In addition, income-eligible homeowners can qualify for supplemental grants – amounts vary depending on the region and type of retrofit completed. These supplemental grants may cover up to 100 percent of the cost of a seismic retrofit. Seismic retrofits covered by the EBB program are completed by FEMA trained contractors and can help reduce damage to a house in the event of a destructive earthquake by bracing existing cripple walls in the crawl space with plywood and bolting the home to its foundation. Since 2014, more than 23,000 EBB retrofits have been completed. The new EBB registration period coincides with the 30th Anniversary of the Northridge Earthquake, a damaging 6.7 magnitude earthquake that struck early in the morning of January 17th, 1994.
