Their team, armed with expertise, excels at identifying, resolving, and repairing a wide range of water problems. Casey, leveraging his extensive experience, also guides homeowners through the complexities of insurance claims, a crucial aspect to ensure proper coverage.

Casey assures clients, saying, “You initiate the claim, we handle the rest.”

1-Day Whole House Repipe

What sets South County Restoration apart is its commitment to offering comprehensive solutions. Going beyond typical water mitigation services, they serve as a one-stop-shop, addressing issues such as mold removal, leak stoppage, re-piping, and drywall repair. As a qualified homeowner advocate and general contractor, Casey adeptly manages insurance claim matters, ensuring fair compensation. He notes, “Homeowners often find it confusing, but we’re here to help.”

Even if you opt not to file a claim, South County Restoration remains a valuable resource. Their renowned one-day repipe service minimizes disruptions for your family, with the team starting promptly at 8:00 a.m.

Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, they swiftly remove water and restore your property. With South County Restoration, you can trust in their capable hands.

CAPISTRANO HARDWOODS Dave Smith

When veteran carpenter Dave Smith decided to open his own supply house, he searched for a location that was in desperate need of a quality lumber and specialty hardwood warehouse. He discovered San Juan Capistrano, a city located far south in the county. Tradesmen were accustomed to driving up to Anaheim to locate the exact moldings and custom woodworking solutions for their customers. In 1989, Dave opened Capistrano Hardwoods, off of Avenida Aeropuerto, where he and his team of experienced professionals have been delivering quality, hard-to-find woodworking solutions ever since.

The business serves homeowners, doit-yourselfers and tradesman with prices that beat the big box home improvement stores for moldings, windows and doors.

“I’m thrilled to have been able to build a quality reputation for Capistrano Hardwoods these past thirty-two years,” states Dave, “Our amazing employees continue to provide excellent customer service and

our customers are the most loyal clientele I’ve ever seen.”

When you need quality interior finish design services, visit Capistrano Hardwoods.

The friendly staff has the knowledge and experience to answer all of your questions and concerns. Since the showroom is open 6 days a week, they are able to serve weekend DIY-ers. They pride themselves on answering all their customers’ questions in order to provide the best choice for their project.

As the staff often conveys to new customers on the phone, “We’re just down the street from The Coach House.” That’s a landmark with which most Orange County residents are familiar.

From moldings to hardwood lumber and custom windows to barnwood doors, Capistrano Hardwoods prides itself on its extensive inventory. They also have a huge variety of cabinet hardware, staircase and

banister options. Save yourself the time of driving to a big box hardware store with elusive customer service, or traveling 45 minutes on the freeway to central Orange County. Simply stop by to speak with Ken, Zack, Izzy and the team for your next project, big or small.

Overall, the eco-friendly benefits of tankless water heaters make them a smart choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.

HOME IMPROVEMENT SPOTLIGHT

DESIGNER’S MAGIC FLOORING Kevin, Richard & R.J. Osborne Is your home ready for a whole new look?

Kickoff your home improvement plans with a visit to Designer’s Magic Flooring, where they have everything you need to get a project going, plus an experienced team of 30 installers for each step of the process.

Don’t let the name fool you, Designer’s showrooms offer more than just floor coverings. They have an impressive selection of flooring and countertops to transform your home.

Designer’s Magic Flooring has been familyowned for over 30 years. In 2007, Richard Osborne took it over and his sons, San Clemente grads R.J. and Kevin, recently joined the team. Their San Clemente location next to Trader Joe’s is a longtime favorite of South County families and a go-to for contractors and interior designers who need the highest quality materials in town.

The business has grown so much that they recently opened a second store in Aliso

Viejo and moved the warehouse to a larger facility in Lake Forest, where they plan to open a third showroom soon. Designer’s reputation for the best service and craftsmanship is known all over Orange County, so when demand for home improvements skyrocketed during the pandemic, Designer’s added three more people to their showroom staff. They proudly employ military veterans and some members of the installation crew have been there for over 10 years.

Curious about the latest trends and innovations, like luxury vinyl planks? This ultradurable, easy to clean flooring style adds a fresh new look to any room, but don’t look for it at a big chain store. Designer’s has over 1,000 samples and a knowledgeable staff to help you choose the right one.

For projects large and small, this family-owned, one-stop shop has everything you need to upgrade your home.

Visit Designer’s Magic Flooring to buy the finest materials and hire the most experienced team for the work. Call 949.496.1926 or visit DesignersMagicCarpetAndFlooring.com.

REYNOLDS TERMITE CONTROL Mike Reynolds

Reynolds Termite Control in San Clemente is your best line of defense against termites and all types of wood destroying pests. Since 1978, Mike Reynolds, along with the help of his father Bill Reynolds, have provided homeowners in South Orange County with quality and effective termite control services.

After his father retired in 1991, Mike and his dedicated and helpful employees have continued serving this industry. Mike was born and raised in San Clemente and is a class of 1980 Triton graduate.

In most buildings, the best defense against termites and wood destroying insects is a great of-fense. One of Reynolds Termite Control’s best plans is the Yearly Control Service Policy. This option provides owners with a comprehensive annual inspection and local treatment of visible and accessible termite evidence

at no additional cost… any time of the year. The company offers very competitive rates for local treatments, whole house fumigations, dry rot and all types of wood repairs for residential, commercial and homeowners associations.

Reynolds Termite has been serving the local real estate market for over 45 years.

“Your home is an investment; protect it,” says Mike Reynolds. “Quality termite control starts with the best inspection and we are just the company to do it.”

Orange County’s climate takes its toll on wood framed structures, from the moist, salty air along the coast to hotter and cooler condi-tions found inland. These weather fluctuations provide an environment for termites, fungus and dry rot to spread throughout your structure.

Property owners are often unaware they have a problem until Reynolds Termite Control completes an expert inspection.

If you are unsure when your property had its last inspection or treatment, it’s time to contact Reynolds Termite Control for a whole house or limited inspection at 949.498.3500. Throughout the month of February, Reynolds is offering a 5% discount on all localized termite treatments, whole house fumigations and woodwork.

LANTERN BAY INTERIORS & FLOORING Gene DeCollibus For almost four decades, Gene DeCollibus has been synonymous with exquisite flooring craftsmanship. With a rich history in Dana Point, Gene made a strategic move in 2022, relocating Lantern Bay Interiors and Flooring to the bustling Capistrano Business Center off Ortega Highway in San Juan Capistrano.

Despite the slight adjustment in distance from his cherished ocean view, Gene is reveling in the charm of his new showroom and warehouse. He enthusiastically notes that this move has afforded him his shortest commute to work ever, a considerable advantage.

Originally hailing from Buffalo, New York, Gene ventured westward, finding a home in Dana Point in the early 1980s. Eager to work closer to his growing family, he inaugurated Lantern Bay Carpets & Flooring on PCH near Blue Lantern in 1984. As a devoted father raising four children and now relishing in the joys of six grandchildren, Gene's familial pride is evident through the countless photos he readily shares.

Since 1984

Gene's energy and amiable demeanor leave a lasting impression on anyone fortunate enough to meet him. While a subtle echo of his east coast roots lingers in his voice, Gene has seamlessly embraced the laid-back vibe of California. In an industry where many peers might be contemplating exit strategies, Gene, with his recent move, appears revitalized. Alongside his dedicated employee Susan, Lantern Bay thrives in its new location.

Expressing gratitude to the community that has contributed to Lantern Bay's success, Gene emphasizes, "My customers make it a pleasure to do business here. I owe them tremendous thanks." Reflecting the company's ethos, Gene shares his motto: "Lantern Bay Interiors and Flooring — Where Quality and Service Comes First."

Lantern Bay offers a diverse selection of wood, vinyl, carpet, and area rugs to cater to various flooring preferences. Additionally, they provide window coverings to add the

perfect finishing touch to your spaces. Whether you seek high-end luxury or budget-friendly options, Lantern Bay has something for everyone. With personalized service, a knowledgeable staff, and professional installers committed to timely project completion, a visit to Gene's Lantern Bay promises a fulfilling experience for all your flooring needs.
