Check out those down spouts

You have noticed our Michigan cool, wet Spring?
Have you noticed your down spouts and how far from your home they extend? 

Ten feet is the rule: move rain water away from your basement and foundation walls to keep them healthy & dry. (Even plants need the soil their roots are in to dry out from time to time.)

Visit the 1960's colonial home in Ann Arbor which we remodeled

Cardea Construction is being represented on May 14 and 15, 2011 at the  NARI Tour of Remodeled Homes. These are all client owned homes who are opening their homes to show off their remodeled projects! This is a very unique and special opportunity to look at 12 homes remodeled by 12 different companies over the course of the weekend, talking directly with company owners, architects and lead designers, all part of the Nat'l Association of Remodeling Industry.

I will be on the tour showing off a 1960's colonial home in Ann Arbor. We renovated the the kitchen, two baths and the master bedroom suite. In the suite we added a walk-in closet, enlarged the master bath, added bedroom bamboo flooring, European paintable wall paper and more.
Come see! Eleven of my fellow remodelers from the area will also be on the tour showing off their homes. Feel free to invite your friends, family and neighbors. The entry fee is only $10 for all the homes and you can go at your own pace and is good for both Saturday and Sunday.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me directly. Hope to see you on the tour!
