Thursday, November 17th, 2011Remodeling Activity Reaches Record Levels!
Tuesday, August 16th, 2011June 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, 2010A 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.”

The Queen Mary, which Long Beach purchased in 1967, is getting long-overdue upgrades. So far, 75 of the 314 hotel rooms and two of its three restaurants have been renovated. (Mark Boster / Los Angeles Times)

San Diego Kitchen Remodeling “10 Commandments”
Thursday, February 25th, 2010As promised, I am starting with the first entry of our best recommendations with respect to your home improvements. While this is primarily focused on Kitchen Cabinets and Countertops, including the design, selection and complete remodel, the concepts can be applied to Bath Remodeling, Built-In Entertainment Centers and just about any other Home Improvement or Tenant Improvement project you might want to undertake.

Country Kitchen - Clear Pecan Cabinets, Applewood pulls and LivingStone Countertops add up to a warm yet bright and "homey" heart of this Julian home!
1] Thou shalt do thy homework
Form – What do you want your new kitchen to look like? Are you creating a showpiece? Do you want the new “heart of your home” to be wooden and warm or new age and stainless steel? The choice is completely yours … NOT your contractor’s … as to what this most important part of your home will say to your guests. We will work with you to make this new, and to some most important, room look the way you want.
Function – What about the way the kitchen you have now works would you change if you could? Would you prefer the dishwasher on the other side of the sink? How about an island to add more counter space? Maybe revamping the lighting would really bring about a better workspace? Again, make a wish list and have it ready for your remodeler’s response. We can help you make it do what you want it to do.
Materials – There are so many new materials available to the consumer that the choices can be overwhelming. Be careful choose a remodeler that can talk to you about ALL of the products you want to know about … NOT just the one’s they represent. A good contractor will be abreast of a wide range of choices from which you can select what you desire.
But why choose We’re Innovative?
Our designers can “fill in the gaps” in order to add to your own strengths in the areas of Form and Function. And, since we handle all of the traditional materials and keep ourselves educated on the latest in new technologies, we have no reason to lead you down any path you don’t wish to tread. Kitchen Remodeling in San Diego just got a LOT easier!
The result? Getting WHAT you want, WHEN you want it and at the best value while staying within a single source environment. It really is the “Innovative” way to go!

We’re Innovative and The Queen Mary!
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010We 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!
