Remodeling Activity Reaches Record Levels!

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

June Data is Highest to Date Since Index Began Tracking Data in 2004

Austin, TX, August 15, 2011 – Today BuildFax unveiled its BuildFax Remodeling Index for June 2011. It shows that even as the economy continues to struggle and home sales sag, the remodeling industry continued to be a bright spot from coast to coast. The index shows that June 2011 became the month with the highest level of remodeling activity since the Index was introduced in 2004.

Today’s report reveals continued month-over-month gains for most regions of the country, with data demonstrating that consumers are continuing to invest in remodeling, even as the stock market dips and unemployment remains high.

June Signifies 20 Consecutive Months of Industry Growth

The latest BFRI, detailing remodeling activity from June 2011, indicates that residential remodeling activity registered the 20th-straight month of year-over-year gains, demonstrating that many Americans are continuing to remodel their current homes, rather than purchasing new homes.

More on We’re Innovative and the Queen Mary

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

A recent article in the LA Times about the renovations of the Queen Mary in Long Beach.  We are working on those hotel rooms, remodeling restaurants, doing general tenant improvements and more!  We are so proud to be part of this landmark project.  Come visit the ship … it’s truly awesome!

From the article:

“Long Beach officials now believe the ship is getting its long-overdue upgrades under a new management company that also operates hotels and restaurants in Yellowstone and Grand Canyon national parks and the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.” … “The city turned over management to the Delaware North Cos., a New York hospitality and food service company, in September. Company officials say their strategy is to restore the ship to much of its Art Deco splendor while incorporating modern-day amenities.”

We’re Innovative and The Queen Mary!

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

We worked pretty much all of January to complete a remodel on the Promenade Cafe + 75 rooms on the Queen Mary.  Not only does San Diego’s Kitchen and Bath remodeling company work in your home, but on Elizabeth’s home away from home. 

There will be pictures of some of the work on here very shortly, as we will be returning to the Cafe now that all of their furnishings are complete.  In the meantime, here are a couple of happy folks in Long Beach last weekend …

 

It's all "Mahalo" in Long Beach!
