Bring New Life to that Old, Inefficient Kitchen

We have long known that small changes in the layout of your kitchen can add some much needed space and make you more efficient.

Because cabinets are usually the most expensive item in a kitchen remodel you should consider whether you want stock, semi-custom or custom cabinets, and what kind of accessories and hardware you want.

Also, there are also many different choices for your countertop materials ranging from laminate thru granite. It’s important to discuss with your contractor what your goals are and what kind of investment you are looking to make.

Rebuilding Together Boston

Almar’s President Terry Quinn and his wife Gail were pleased to be able to participate in Rebuilding Together Boston on April 28, 2007. As posted on their web site “Rebuilding Together Boston (RTB) is a non-profit organization working in partnership with the community, with volunteers and skilled labor, to stabilize and revitalize homes in our city at no cost to our recipient. Our initiative brings homeowners in need together with volunteers from all walks of life, to preserve home ownership and reduce the risk of homelessness by improving the quality of the lives of our recipients.”

Terry & Gail worked on a house sponsored by the Builders Association of Greater Boston. When asked about the event Gail said, “Rebuilding Together Boston was fun- a LOT of work, but fun. The homeowner and her family were lovely people, all worked so hard right along with us, hugging & thanking us as we left. They said they will see us next year, when THEY volunteer to work on someone else’s house!”

May is Deck Safety Month! How safe is your Deck???

As the weather starts to improve around New England more and more homeowners are starting to migrate outside to use their decks and lawns. It’s important that before you start using your deck this season you make sure that it is safe and secure.

May 2007 has been declared Deck Safety Month, and marks the second year of the North American Deck & Railing Association’s (NADRA) public safety program. As posted on their web site, “According to Mike Beaudry, Executive Vice-President of NADRA. “A simple, annual inspection doesn’t take long or require special tools, but it’s a great investment of your time. It can help prevent unnecessary accidents, and keep your deck a safe place for everyone to enjoy.” “May is a great time to make your deck-check,” Beaudry continues. “In parts of the country where there’s a lot of snow and ice, your deck could have developed a trouble spot over the winter.” Beaudry adds “If you’ve never had your deck professionally inspected, by all means, make that appointment.”

Almar encourages all homeowners to have your deck inspected for safety and comfort issues. When we examine an existing deck we look for and discuss with you the following issues:

Improper Footings
Missing bar hangers
Missing or improperly installed balusters, or railings.
Safe and easy to grip handrails.
Splintering Pressure Treated wood.
Rising nail heads.
Rot issues.
Deck accessories that may be hazardous, such as anything that creates heat (grills, fire pits, etc.)
Upgrading Pressure Treated wood to lower maintenance Composite decking.

If you haven’t had your deck looked at in a while, please give us a call and we can take check it out for you, and handle all your maintenance issues.
