SOUTH CAROLINA, JULY 3, 2021 - Despite rumors and doubts to the contrary, solar power simply makes good business sense, which is why CNT Foundations, a general contractor and Foundation Repair company that serves South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia, has already become 100% solar powered. Many believe it is just not possible to switch completely to renewable energies and still stay in business. The fact is, wise organizations like CNT Foundations have already done it.

Around the world, huge corporations like Google, Apple, and IKEA are making the switch to solar or renewable energy because the decision simply makes good business sense. Not only does solar power pay for itself, but the energy these companies use also becomes free. No denying the wisdom in such a deal.

Likewise, 11 countries have switched to 100% renewable energy with dozens more already taking the steps to do likewise. Their actions have reduced their carbon footprint and improved their public image, all while eventually providing them with free energy. The same was an easy decision for CNT Foundations. They became Charlotte’s most trusted foundation experts because every decision they made always kept customer satisfaction in mind. Surprisingly, not all companies believe a successful business depends on a happy customer, but on the pure volume of jobs.

In the end, CNT Foundations topped them all because they relied upon only highly qualified contractors who will come up with permanent solutions to a problem, not just fix the issue for now. The same business practice drove them to switch their facilities to 100% solar power.

About CNT Foundations: CNT Foundations proudly supports U.S. troops and hires veterans to work for the company. The company’s commitment to service excellence sets them apart from other foundation repair companies.

Fairfax, Virginia (release-news ) July 2, 2021 - Dirt Connections, a Maryland fill dirt contractor, recently released a guide to educate prospective customers (primarily homeowners) on how to build a tennis court.

The blog begins by emphasizing the importance of dreaming up a specific plan and layout for the court: where it should go, the size of the entire area it is enclosed in, what type of material the court surface should be (hardcourt, grass or clay) and how high up the fence around it should go, among other things.

Then, the customer should consult the pros at Dirt Connections in order to know what construction materials are needed for such a project and how it should be carried out so that no land violations are committed. This means performing a safety inspection, which will help certify that the site is secure and sturdy enough for the planned project. They can also give you an estimate for the amount of time it will take to complete the tennis court.

Once the customer has done all this, he/he should get going and start the project, while ensuring that all contractors and subcontractors are paid on time for their work.

Dirt Connections is dedicated to offering top-quality solutions for gardening and horticulture, home improvement projects — including garages, sheds, barns and cabins — and various interior designs like Feng Shui. Among the services Dirt Connections provides are dirt grading, demolition, excavation and heavy construction. They offer detailed construction site plans to ensure clients' projects get off to a solid start.

Dirt Connections can also take measurements to ensure your tennis court does not interfere in any way with other surrounding man-made or natural structures, part of a process known as "rough staking." The next part of the process involves clearing all debris — including trees, foliage and trash — from the construction zone. Dirt Connections will also take into account the effect soil erosion has on the project's development.

Dirt Connections has experience dealing with both ½ -acre and 1-acre properties and allows customers to make a deposit for a project instead of paying the entire balance upfront. Dirt Connections boasts 30 years of experience in home remodeling and commercial construction. They also perform waste removal and source new and durable material. Dirt Connections is located at 11325 Random Hills Rd, Suite 360-A211, Fairfax, Virginia 22030. Call them today at 703-940-9949 or contact them online at https://www.dirtconnections.com/ for a free quote or to learn more about their services.
