A quick IR scan can pay for itself - quickly! --
Above All - Ohio is now offering a
fast, affordable infrared scan for residential customers. For as little as $97,
homeowners can get a quick scan of their entire home to find hidden problems,
including energy-wasting insulation and building deficiencies. Within 24 hours
of the inspection, we will e-mail an abbreviated report to you which will include
all images that show areas of potential concern and brief explanations as required.
Each report comes with a 50% off coupon that you can use to schedule a follow-up
scan to make sure the deficiencies have been corrected properly.
(By the way, we also offer discounted quick scans for small offices and commercial properties. However, there are many more variables involved in these types of inspections so we do not have a flat rate for them. Estimates and quotes are always free - just ask!) Whether it's your home, office, or other commercial building, if you are using energy to heat and/or cool it, chances are there are leaks somewhere in the building. We can help you find them quickly! And the sooner you find and correct the problems, the sooner you will start saving energy and the sooner you will re-coup the cost of the inspection! Please contact us today for complete details - some limitations do apply! Infrared Inspection Service Update -- Although we have said a number of times that summer and winter are the best times for infrared inspections, that does not mean we can't perform an inspection for you in the spring or fall! All we need is a temperature difference between the outside air and the area(s) we are inspecting. We love having our windows open as much as possible - just like most people. The problem with that (as far as infrared inspections are concerned...) is that when the windows are open, there is not a lot of temperature difference between the inside and outside of the building. We never like to call beautiful days "unfortunate," but the more nice days we have in the spring and fall, the fewer good days we have to perform infrared inspections. All is not lost, though -- we can generally compensate for these weather conditions by scheduling our inspections for first thing in the morning or later in the evening. (Hint: Schedule your inspection well in advance to make sure we are available at your preferred time!) |
Spring Aerials -- Wow - spring sprung
early in Ohio (and much of the U.S.)! There is still time to get aerial photos of
buildings or ground features that will be obscured by trees, leaves, and snow in the
other seasons, but time is running out!
Please contact us ASAP if you need photos before the trees fill out. Time is not on our side this year... Give us a call to discuss your aerial, architectural, or infrared photos today, even if you don't think you'll be needing service for several weeks or even months! Above All - Ohio in the Cleveland Plain Dealer -- In case you missed it, Above All - Ohio photographer Mike Holthouse was honored to be interviewed by Grant Segall for a feature article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The article ran on page A-2 on Sunday, December 11, 2011. Click here to read the story on the Plain Dealer's web site! (You can also download a PDF of the article here...) |
Website Updates -- After a busy couple of
weeks, we finally got a chance to update the past couple of "Stock Photos of the
Week." (Did you catch our April Fool's Day
joke? We didn't think anyone would actually fall for it, but we did hope it made people
laugh or smile...)
As mentioned previously, all photos from the "Stock Photo of the Week" archives are now viewable in either an automatic or manually controlled slide show format. This week, we further enhanced the slide shows by making the slides even bigger - now you can see even more detail in our photos! Since we're on the topic of details (even though this doesn't really fit into this "web site update" section of the news...), it seems like a good time to remind you that all of the photos on our web site are reduced in size (drastically reduced in size...) and compressed for faster loading in your web browser. The photos we deliver to clients are at least 4x bigger and much sharper than the ones you see online. Of course, the images we deliver do not have copyright notices or watermarks on them. Our clients can "zoom in" on their photos and view everything in great detail. Back to the web site updates -- our 2012 blog has been updated with an entry for March and includes a close up aerial view of beautiful flowering trees in a residential neighborhood from the spring of 2009. Check it out! If you haven't experienced the super-slick Cooliris "wall" yet, go ahead and give it a try! It is a fun and fast way to browse our Stock Photos of the Week.

May 14-20, 2012 "Columbus Casino Construction" On November 3, 2009, Ohio voters approved "Issue 3" which ammended the Ohio state constitution and allowed one casino to be opened in each of Ohio's four largest cities (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Toledo). More than two and a half years later, the first of these casinos - The Horseshoe Casino Cleveland - is slated to open today, May 14, 2012. The Hollywood Casino Toledo is set to open later this month. This week's photo, however, is not of either of those two casinos. This aerial aerial photo is of the Hollywood Casino Columbus which is under construction a few miles west fo downtown Columbus. As you can see from this overall bird's eye view, much work has been completed, but there is still much more to be done. This casino is scheduled to open late this year. Keep checking back with us - we will get another photo closer to the grand opening! To view a larger version of this photo, click on it or click this direct link.

"Far from Home" We here at Above All - Ohio naturally spend the majority of our flying time above Ohio and the surrounding states. Sometimes, however, we are able to string together a bunch of sites in various locations and we can work our way to more distant sites while keeping our prices low for everyone. This week's photo is of downtown Columbia, South Carolina. A site we flew here is the most distant one we have flown ourselves to date. However, that was not the most distant site that we have obtained photos of for our clients. Through our network of professional aerial photographers, we regularly provide photos of distant sites. We know the best photographers all over the country - we tell them what, where, and how and they get the "raw": images for us. We then do the post-processing so that our customers - with one phone call - can order several sites and be assured that all of the photos will be nice and consistent when they get them. This week, we want to wish all of the mothers out there a very HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY - whether their children are with them or far away from home!

April 30 - May 6, 2012 "Going Around the Bend" Our aerial vantage point gives us some unique opportunites to see things from a perspective that most people don't get a chance to see them from. This huge freighter is maneuvering around a tight bend in the Cuyahoga River in downtown Cleveland. It is a slow process and gives us appreciation for our ability to fly in a straight line from point A to point B! (Of course, it would take us thousands and thousands of trips to carry the amount of cargo that this ship can carry in in just one trip...)
