Superior systems from Sierra

John Del Gigante has been creating systems that bring his customers intense viewing and listening pleasure for 30 years. “I started in this business when Nixon was in office,” John says laughing. “I had a retail store specializing in car stereos and home audio/video until 1996. When I sold my business, I began to focus on my passion, which is home video and sound.” John can design a system for any situation and any budget. He is highly attuned to what the customer needs and to keeping the project costs in line. “I will not sell a $2,000 amplifier to a customer if a $300 piece will work best. Every customer is important to me,” John says. “I don’t care if they buy a big system a little system; my goal is to make sure they are happy.”

��

The magic of movies and music can transport you to a place of wonder and beauty. Transforming your home with the right audio/video equipment can create an atmosphere where adventure, relaxation, excitement and knowledge all become possible.

��

John’s wife Sheryl proudly emphasizes her husband’s devotion to customer satisfaction. “John is truly customer-oriented. He runs this high-tech business with a downhome philosophy — give the customers exemplary service! John is available to his clients at any time, he’s just a great guy to talk to and takes the time to answer any questions. We’ve been at a Yankee game and gotten calls. In fact, he even had to

help a customer while we were on our honeymoon!” Sierra Audio Video offers a multitude of services including pre-construction wiring and structured wiring, design and installation of various systems, whole- house audio distribution systems, dedicated home-theater rooms or areas, cable/satellite wiring and installation, outdoor speaker/control systems, architectural audio design and installation, and lighting controls. Not only John can design and supply the equipment for each project, he can develop a room from concept to completion. John feels that audio plays a key part in creating the entertainment atmosphere. “It’s a visceral thing,” he explains. “Imagine if you can, the difference between just seeing a picture of a gun shot, as opposed to hearing a canon shot while watching a movie. The audio is what makes it all come to life.” Music lovers will appreciate John’s years of knowledge and expertise when implementing audio systems. “CDs are becoming a thing of the past,” he says. “Music is going wireless ... it’s all about computers.” An audio distribution system allows people in different rooms of the house to listen to music of their choice. John installs touch screens that not only enable the homeowner to set up a fantastic music library with specific play lists, the touch screen also displays current weather conditions and can be programmed to control lighting as well as security cameras. The touch screen gives access to international radio stations

as well, so listeners can pull in exotic sounds from around the world.

“A family media room is great; moms love it!” Sheryl says. “Parents feel safe when their kids and friends are enjoying a movie or show; they know where their kids are.” Families find themselves enjoying more time together with a room like this, she says. John adds, “Music concerts are just fabulous on this big screen. And the games sector of video is still grow-

When it comes to video, John says, “You can create a media room that the whole family can enjoy, and you don’t need a huge space.” John and Sheryl, who have a lovely media room in their home, invite potential clients to come and experience it. Once seated in the Del Gigantes’ media room, John presses the remote, the blinds automatically slide down to cover the windows and the doorway, and a giant wall to wall picture grabs your attention. Sheryl says, “Taking the family out to the movies is so expensive. With the media room equipment, you can actually have an even better quality movie-theater experience with all the comforts of home!

large panes of glass available. These were strategically installed to face south. “In the 1950s,” he said, “many of these sound, traditional approaches were ignored when air-conditioning was introduced and electricity was inexpensive.” Obviously, electricity is no longer cheap.

Trumbull architect Donald Watson specializes in environmental and interpretative design. A distinguished and renowned award-winning architect who works on projects around the world, he designs everything from private homes to community centers, nature centers and parks. Dean and Professor Emeritus at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, former visiting professor at Yale School of Architecture and chair of Yale’s Master of Environmental Design program, he is the recipient of many national and international design awards. His books have been described as definitive in the field, and he is a leading expert and consultant in interpretive planning, architecture and environmental design. Ask him what the most important concern is in designing homes today, and he doesn’t hesitate to answer — “energy and environment.”

The New Canaan Nature Center Solar Greenhouse is a prime example of Donald Watson’s progressive energy-efﬁcient ideas.

as quickly as one would think when it comes to energy in home design. He provided a retrospective, starting with an example of a New England saltbox. “This type of house was designed to face south, thereby maximizing direct sun to the home. Later in the 19th Century, porches were placed on the side of the house

Having won the U.S. Department of Energy Innovation Award, he has plenty of expertise on the subject. An architect who connects ecology, biology and technology, he points out that even in this so-called “hitech” era, things have not really changed

Mr. Watson noted that more effective glass manufacturing in the 1930s facilitated the use of solar design in homes by making

In the 1990s, photovoltaic panels and wind generators became more widely used. Considering that windmills date back several hundred years, it looks like we’ve come full circle in a big way.

��

In the 1970s, the traditional ideas of the past were re-introduced in solar and energy-efficient homes. These were in response to high oil prices, and this trend continued through the 1980s. Improvements in insulation, window performance and other home energy-saving appliances led the way to “smart house” technology, where you could telephone your home to adjust heating/cooling before arriving. These ideas had been introduced years before in such demonstration homes as those in industrial expositions and high-end custom homes, some of which were built in Connecticut.

Today, energy conservation is crucial. “We are currently designing homes that combine the age-old lessons of designing with climate, the new and affordable techniques of energy-conserving home construction and appliances, and uses of solar and wind technologies ... without adding to pollution or greenhouse gas burdens ... The barriers to wider application of such homes is not lack of technical innovation. It simply requires design and intelligent use of resources,” stated Mr. Watson. One of this architect’s many successes is a house in Bethany. It is 4,200 square feet and heated by a boiler described by Mr. Watson as the size of a suit case. “A photoelectric system supplies all electric power and returns electricity to the utility grid, for which the owner is reimbursed. The house has many advanced technology elements. These include a foundation made in a factory and delivered and set up in one day; structural insulated panels delivered and assembled in three to five days, and advanced lighting and plumbing fixtures,” said Mr. Watson. It is the first home in Connecticut to be certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. Another success story is a house he designed in Ohio, which is entirely solar and which uses no fossil fuels. It is a pioneer in housing and reflects the importance of living in our natural environment. Of course, in many of our own homes, we are turning to more effective lighting and utilizing passive solar and solar heating. Solar electricity was not an option before, but now it is available. According to Mr. Watson, it’s just that the local building industry and housing development

projects are slow in implementing these improvements.

of which have received national recognition for green design.

Houses are not the only ones concerned with energy. Having worked on projects all over the world, Mr. Watson has pioneered many of the approaches used in community-based designs. Examples of his progressive energy-efficient ideas are evidenced in the New Canaan Nature Center Solar Greenhouse, Bridgeport’s Went Field Park and the Nature Conservancy’s Sam’s Point Conservation Center in Cragsmoor, N.Y., all

Though he never mentioned it, Donald Watson recently won two prestigious awards: the 2008 U.S. Green Building Council Leadership Award and the American Institute of Architects Presidental Citation for career achievements in architecture, energy and environment. He was recognized as an individual “whose contributions signify vision, leadership and commitment to the evolution of green design and construction.” What’s more, the award

recognizes “the courage of commitment to advocate for environmental stewardship ... in a way that clarified and expanded for others a vision of a better future.” With the constant demand for energy and electricity as well as the need to stop polluting the planet, Donald Watson is firmly positioned on the cutting edge of energy-saving design in the home and at the workplace. What is so amazing is that he has been on that leading edge for more than 40 years. Now, it looks like the rest of the world is finally catching on.

GUTTER GUYS

Protect your major investment by R.E. Glowa When that first brisk nip of cool autumn air breezes in, that is my cue to compose the annual list of priority projects to complete before the advent of winter. When the brilliant shower of gold, crimson and russet leaves begins to carpet the lawn and roof, it will be time to rake, mulch and clear the roof and gutters. I am not particularly fond of cleaning gutters. Precariously balancing atop the steep pitches and angular irregularities of my roof while attempting to clean away those lovely autumnal leaves has sometimes led to minor mishaps. I decided it was time to seek help for my gutter issues. I called local professional Alex Goliszewski, one of the owners of Gutter Guys. I figure guys know gutters, and I hoped Alex and his partner Kevin Rogalski would help me find a new solution for maintaining mine. The Gutter Guys have been in business for 20 years. Friends since high school, Kevin and Alex established their business based upon their expertise in landscaping, roofing, siding and gutters. When the gutter sector of their business began growing at a very rapid pace, they decided to concentrate their efforts solely on

Gutters are measured on-site for a perfect ﬁt. Right, this heavy-duty gutter strainer was invented by one of the company’s owners.

gutters. Gutter Guys now has over 12,000 customers who rely on Kevin and Alex for cleanings, maintenance, repairs and installation of copper and aluminum gutters. With offices in Stamford and Bridgeport, Gutter Guys is available to service all of Fairfield County. Alex arrived with his associate Emily Rogalski to inspect my gutter situation and educate me about the business. As we toured around the perimeter of the house, Alex explained the steps he goes through with each new customer. “I like to educate my customers so they can make better buying decisions. We do a free evaluation with each gutter cleaning. We provide free estimates for new gutter installations. We want to make sure the gutter system is appropriate for the size of the house and is a good functioning system for the home,” Alex said. “During the visit we take digital photos of the house. We put them in the computer at the office, and this way any of our techs can help if the customer calls with a question,” said Alex. “I then prepare a detailed quote that I send to customers, and they can then decide if they want to go ahead with us.” Alex continued, “You have to be careful when buying a gutter system — always read the fine print. No gutter is completely maintenance-free; you can reduce the level of maintenance, but never completely eliminate it. We can install a new system if the evaluation shows that the existing system is not working for the house, but many times minor repairs are all that is necessary.”

Even a leaf blower will not dislodge the Gutter Strainer! Using top quality materials, such as .32 gauge aluminum for their gutters, sets Gutter Guys apart from the rest of the industry. Not only do they offer maintenance programs, clean and repair gutters and design gutter layouts for aesthetics and function, they even have a special truck completely outfitted to make the gutter on site, providing a completely custom fit.

Gutter Guys has many customers who value their expert service in maintenance and repair.

When I ask Alex how important gutters are, he immediately listed a number of ways gutters help preserve the home. “Properly installed gutters reduce wood rot, keep water off of windowsills, reduce peeling paint and help prevent structural damage, including to foundations. Emily added, “Standing water in gutters is a breeding ground for mosquitoes; you definitely want to get rid of that.” I already knew keeping the gutters clean was a necessary chore, but I never fully appreciated the myriad of reasons why until Alex and Emily pointed out how this preventive maintenance could actually prolong the life of your home. Alex smiled when telling me, “Offering education is part of the process and part of the secret to keeping our long-term customers. It’s

important that customers know when to clean their gutters. Early summer to clear away winter debris, mid to late summer, early fall and possibly again in late fall if necessary to clear away the last of those autumn leaves.” “There are lots of options for gutter protection,” Alex said. “You can use filters, guards, screens. Emily added, “Alex is the inventor of the Gutter Strainer; it works wonderfully to keep out large objects and keeps gutters draining longer between cleanings.” Alex designed the strainer with an innovative spring-coil design, made from 12 feet of wire with a diameter of an 1/8 of an inch. The thickness of the wire makes the strainer stronger and heavier and it will stay in place in the downspout.

On a final note Alex added, “Gutter Guys has always stood for relationships. We want you to be happy. If you have an emergency, we shift things around to be there. And just so you know, Gutter Guys work in the rain!”

��

Emily, Alex and Kevin are proud of the way Gutter Guys has evolved. While Alex had nimbly climbed atop my roof and quickly and efficiently cleaned the gutters, Emily had emphasized to me, “We want to help customers protect their most valued investment. These guys really care about the customers and the community. Even in this tough economy, we continue to grow slowly and purposefully, to the point where we are even looking to hire new employees.”

TREASURE HUNT

One man’s (or woman’s) clutter ... by G. Lisa Sullivan There are many reasons why people travel from all over the state to visit Litchfield County, as well as its surrounding cities and towns — unparalleled shopping, antiques stores, restaurants, historic inns, bucolic landscapes, rolling hills and covered bridges are just a few of the attractions that draw day and weekend trippers to this unique region of Connecticut. Now there is yet another reason to make the trip: Townline Treasures, an Oakville-based home-furnishings resale studio. “We’re conveniently located on the town line between Waterbury and Oakville/Watertown,” company co-owner Maureen Garceau explains, “at the gateway to Litchfield County, in an historic old factory building from the 1800s known locally as the Pin Shop. There are so many wonderful attractions in this part of Connecticut, and people come from all over to experience what the Northwest corner has to offer, and we’re one stop along the way.” As part of its business, Townline Treasures has embraced the green movement, with its eclectic collection of antiques, collectibles, home furnishings and décor, according to Maureen, whose husband and business partner, Steve, a Watertown native and resident, has made a career out of finding diamonds in the rough, so to speak, as he works with clients to declutter their homes, usually at no monetary cost to the homeowner. “Maureen and I started this business less than a year ago as an experiment in buying and selling on eBay,” Steve recalls. “By placing newspaper ads for free clean-out services, and offering my service in return for people’s unwanted items, we were able

to target potential clients in Fairfield, Litchfield, Hartford and New Haven counties ... homeowners who were downsizing or who had inherited an estate, or who were in the process of selling or simply just decluttering and had items they didn’t want to deal with.” Great Expectations Steve, who has a background in manufacturing and engineering and is also a carpenter by trade, begins by visiting the client’s home and perusing the pieces that are to be sorted and/or discarded. “My parents took me to estate sales and tag sales when I was a kid, and consequently I grew up surrounded with ‘gems’ they found at those places,” he recounts. “I have to make sure there is some furniture or collectible that I can eventually resell in order to justify my cost in time and effort.” Once Steve knows he can turn a profit, he returns with a truck and begins the clean-out process. Most of his clean-outs take one or two days, although a few have required a week. “There’s generally no money changing hands,” he says, “but occasionally a job will become much bigger than we originally planned, and the client will pay for a dump fee.” For Maureen, every clean-out offers potential Christmas morning excitement, with Steve often calling her from the road to describe his “finds.” “Steve has a passion for quality and the eye to recognize it when he sees it,” she explains. “I really didn’t know what we’d get when we started the business, but we have found some beautiful pieces of furniture, glassware, china, artwork and lighting, and even a few antiques,” he says, “although I have yet to unearth a Picasso in someone’s attic!” Steve begins by sorting the items into keep, recycle, donate to Goodwill, or dump. Those things he keeps, he repairs himself, spending a portion of each week refinishing, sanding, restaining, painting or varnishing (the rest of the week is spent on the road, visiting potential clients). Certain jobs, however, like veneers

or replating, he will outsource to other professionals. A Place for Everything In order to merchandise their inventory, the couple decided to lease a large space in which to make the repairs and display the pieces they had collected. “We leased a charming 3,000 sq. ft. space in a 100year-old pin factory here in Oakville, right on the Litchfield line, and, with help from my father, completely renovated it, with chestnut floors and beams and track lighting,” says Steve. A portion of the studio/showroom is used for repairs, while most of the space showcases the items for sale. “There are 62 other vendors in this renovated factory, ranging from artists and artisans to photographers and a kayak shop,” Steve explains. “We get customers from all over.” There are currently 500 different items in Steve and Maureen’s showroom, which is open Thursday 11 to 7, Friday 11 to 6, Saturday 11 to 5 and Sunday 10 to 2, according to Maureen, a Prospect, Conn. native who has a background in retail and who helps manage the showroom. “We carry everything from yesteryear to today,” she says, “including chairs, tables, hutches, dining room sets, vanities, headboards and footboards, upholstered furniture, frames, mirrors, books, bureaus, dressers, sideboards, buffets and full sets of china. My ultimate goal is to have our patrons leave with a smile and a treasure.” A historic factory building from the 1800s, known as the Pin Shop, is home to owner Steve Garceau’s “ﬁnds,” discovered during clean-out services he provides to homeowners.

Today, Steve and Maureen, who have four sons ranging in age from 7 to 18, have continued that tradition, and their own home, which Steve built himself, is filled with treasures they have discovered along the way. “Every item we sell is a conversation piece,” Steve says, “with most items better made than anything you can buy today ... they have already proven their test of time, and each piece already has its own story.” For more information, call 860-417-2858 or 232-2505, or visit yourtownlinetreasures. com.
