Looks good. I assume I can google the sydny harbor?
I did think about either columns of some sort or possibly intergrating my raised panel wainscoting somehow.

My logo is in my sig below.
I like your font and color that you chose for the top line, and really like the 3rd line phrasing.
Suggestions:
Change the first line to MSA Restoration and Renovation. 'Home Improvement' doesn't add much that 'Restoration and Renovation' doesn't already cover. 'Restoration and Renovation' also carries a classier ring, to me, than 'Home Improvements'; but you know your targeted audience best. In short, pick one of those two and ditch the other. 3 lines are one too many to read at a quick glance.
Change the font for the 3rd line, and I'd pass on the all caps version there. I think Old World. New World. Your World. with only the first letters capitalized helps draw out those individual ideas.
Some kind of image, even if it's those two lines bending around the outer crust of a circle (or world globe), would go a long way toward sprucing it up.

Thanks, great suggestions I'll play with it a little later this evening. Main reason for keeping the top Line is lazyness. Didn't want to change the dba.

I went back and looked at it again. I did only cap the first letters on line three. Met be a font thing.
Family.....They're always there when they need you.
There are some titling fonts that default to caps. You should be able to find something in the same family that does what you want, though. But choose something other than the font you used for the top line to help it stand out.
Something like this.

For some reason I don't like it that way. It seems to be missing something, just not sure what.
Family.....They're always there when they need you.
Its growing on me. I gotta tell you. Maybe we do nix the three line thing.

What fonts are you using there?

Doh! All I have rigtht now is microsoft word and it had neither of those. I was using "Castellar".
Cant meet with my SIL till Thursday and i'm dying to get this going. I have 3000 flyers with the old name on them to go out that I cant afford to burn but then I can get going.
I at least want the cards in hand and I need a banner for The Dream Cruise. I've had a banner up for the last three or four years and i'd like it to be the new one this year.
Family.....They're always there when they need you.
Another thought I had was to make the 'Your World' part stand out a bit more in a different shade of gray. Like so.

Damn shame you live 1200 miles away. We could knock this out tonight.
I like your ideas and I like that you understand my tagline. You did replace the word restoration with remodeling though. I'd like to keep Restoration in there.
My whole thought process in this change, is trying to get to the clients i've searched for since I started this business. It came to me that my old tag (for all your building needs) was so vague and vanilla that i'd be lucky to clean their gutters let alone install them on the new addition.
I figure while i'm dead anyway, I might as well try jumping into the high end market and perception is half the battle.
I used to do well in Grosse Pointe till the recession, and this year I havent gotten a call from there. I know work is getting done there and I want some it back.

rules for creating a great logo design
http://www.tannersite.com/rules-of-logo-design/
I've used this website before, and was pleased with the work they did. I found out about them from a post here on BT, so I checked them out. This is a logo they did for me when I needed a quickie and didn't have time to do it myself.

Man huck, did you work In marketing at one time? Thanks for a ton of examples.
My SIL works at Kinkos. Were meeting this week to discuss changes. I just don't want to go in cold.

My advice is to go with a logo that can look good in postage stamp size. Study the professional logos of major corporations. Less is more. Simplify. Eliminate fine lines and superfluous detail. A logo should have punch.View Image bakersfieldremodel.com
Great idea of I threaten to punch people they'll surely hire me to renovate their homes. :)

at least they'll know you're good with the punch lists!
