*10 WHO WILL REMAKE THE INDUSTRY*

In the January issue of Remodeling Magazine, the leading industry publication, the editors identified "10 people who are ushering the next wave of change [in the remodeling industry]. One those "movers and shakers" hails from outside the remodeling industry.

There is only one women to make this list: Martha Stewart.  Yes, Martha Stewart.  Her influence is not to be overlook – America’s homemaker in the broadest sense of the word. She incites a passion for remodeling by teaching consumers to think of their homes as endless opportunities to express themselves. She built an empire that encompasses virtually every single medium. Her web site is one of them. Very nicely done and highly informative. Judge for yourself at www.marthastewart.com

* WELCOME OUR NEW EMPLOYEES *

Finally! We found our carpenter! Actually, to be honest, HE found us!!! Our highly skilled but underused carpenter was looking for a change. So he logged on the ‘net, used the right keywords and found what he was looking for: a serious, established remodeling company. So he sent us his resume. After an interview and a few days in the field, we’re proud to introduce Adam Stellwagen of Mahopac, NY. Adam has now been with us for 6 weeks.

We are also please to welcome Alfredo Quezada from Sleepy Hollow, NY.  Alfredo is a carpenter's helper, and has been with us for one week.

HAVE A $100 DINNER ON US

Are you aware that your recently completed project became "Our Working Showroom" * and you yourself have become "Our Best Salesperson"?

When your support results into a signed project with us, we will show our gratitude to those of you who will recommend us and to those of you who will open their doors to let one of our prospect customers see "our Working Showroom" *.

We will express our appreciation by sending you to dine at one of Westchester’s premiere restaurants, Peter Pratt’s Inn, on us! (A $100 Value. Good for a la carte dining, Tuesdays to Sundays).

You can find out more about the Peter Pratt’s Inn by visiting their web site at  www.prattsinn.com   You’ll be able to review the menu and wine list. You can also get directions to the Inn; we recommend printing the map.

Bon Appetit !!!

*What we call a "Working Showroom" is an actual, real, functional project (i.e.: kitchen, bathroom) that has been built around existing conditions, restrictions and obstructions, as opposed to those setup showrooms found in retailer’s displays where the only limitation is the designer’s imagination!
