MainStreet Connection
Creating a personal connection with our customers and the local community 3rd Qtr 2016
Hello %%First-Name%%,

What better way is there to celebrate this 4th of July than spending time with friends and family watching fireworks? As the colors light up the sky, we will be thinking of the many men and women who have fought bravely to preserve our freedom. We wish you a very happy Independence Day, with deep gratitude to all of our veterans.

Reminded of our company's origins and heritage, we also celebrate our 25th year in business. We hope you will join us for an Open House on September 22nd, and come build with us as we raise awareness and support for a new affordable home in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Oakland County (details below).
Many thanks,

Steve Ramaekers

Kitchen Remodeling Explained: Basic, Mid-to-Upper Range and Deluxe

Given the increased popularity of home decorating and design shows on HGTV and the DIY network, homeowners can easily be misled about how much a kitchen remodeling project actually costs. Whether your kitchen layout stays the same, is slightly modified, or completely overhauled, it is important for you to understand the distinct differences.

Houzz.com, the leading online platform for home remodeling and design, published a fantastic article that does a superb job of breaking down a homeowners’ remodeling needs into three types: “basic,” “mid-to-upper range,” or “deluxe”. It also breaks down the actual costs associated with each kitchen remodeling type.

After reviewing this article, you will have a good idea of which kitchen remodeling type best suits your needs. It should also help you appreciate the added time and value that goes into a mid-to-upper range or deluxe remodel. Read more.
