First Day of The Tour of Remodeled Homes
Sat/Mar/2009 06:34 Remodeling BlogEvents
The opening day of the Tour of Remodeled Homes today was great fun for us!
While we always hope for good weather for the Tour of Remodeled Homes Event, we also realize that this is Oregon and we need to have a backup plan for RAIN. Our backup today was the garage of our Tour Home and it's a good thing we had it! Set up in the garage of our Tour home was the KEX Mr. Fix It Show. We were honored to have Dave Ewing, the original Mr. Fix It, here this morning doing a live broadcast of the show. Mitch was able to sit in on the show this morning and answer questions from callers and talk about the Tour and our featured project. Mitch also was able to explain to listeners how a Design-Build Company such as ours works with clients from the design phase through to the building process creating a seamless process that ultimately results in a more controlled result in every aspect.
Mitch really enjoyed his time with Dave as he is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor!
Joining us today was Angela Todd of Angela Todd Designs. Angela is part of our design team who is able to disseminate and capture the desires and tastes of our clients enabling her to create unique and personalized spaces that fit the clients tastes and home perfectly.

Is Radon an issue in Granite Countertops?
Sun/Jan/2009 11:02 Remodeling BlogKitchen & Baths | Countertops
Natural stone countertops are a popular choice for many kitchen and bath renovation projects. Among the natural stone selections granites are the most popular because granite is the most durable, scratch and chip resistant and only requires sealing once every year or two. Recently we had a client ask about Radon Gas emissions from Granite Countertops. There was much buzz about it in the media for a while and now the studies are complete and the results are in!
“ compared to other radiation sources in the home and outside, the risk to the home-owner from radioactivity emitted from a granite counter-top or tiles is practically non-existent.”truthaboutgraniteradonradiation
If you’re unfamiliar with Radon, it is a heavy odorless and colorless gas that is emitted through the soil. Radon levels in the soil vary greatly around the country. These gasses can seep into your home through foundations and crawl spaces and depending on the ventilation inside the home, it can be cause for concern as Radon causes lung cancer. It has become a common practice for home buyers to have a radon test performed in a home they are considering purchasing. While Oregon generally has low levels of radon, I do know of a home in Eastmoreland that had very high levels of Radon and needed to mitigate. For more information you can read
