4-Time 2010 NARI Contractor of the Year

company profile Benco Construction Bohemia, NY • 631-244-6900 • www.benco-construction.com atrick Bentivegna, started Benco Construction over a decade ago with one idea in mind: Expand upon time-tested techniques and industry standards with innovative ideas and excellence in craftsmanship. Through diligence and raw talent, Patrick now enjoys a secure position amongst Long Island’s most respected General Contractors and holds a CR (Certified Remodeler) Certification from the NARI NYC/LI Chapter.

The idea behind Benco Construction is relatively simple: First, observe the beautiful landscapes of Long Island, and then conceptualize the perfect complimentary, non-invasive design strategy. Next, during construction, the techniques of old-world craftsmanship are applied and combined with new-world ideas to produce stunning, functional spaces which are much more than just eye candy to the casual spectator.

Patrick’s trademark style is born of meticulous attention to detail coupled with an intrinsic sense of what works.

In general, you could say that a hands-on approach throughout every phase of the project and a long established history of quality is what sets Benco apart from the rest. When asked why people use Benco Construction, the answer which comes immediately to mind is, “Communication.” Open communication is a must for Patrick, and in addition to being on-site during the construction process, he is directly available to his clients all of the time.

“My wife Jen and I have been blessed to live in our new home for 5 years, built by Benco Construction. In the planning stages of the building process, we chose him as the builder of our home, and during the process we developed a respect and trust for you and your expertise. Today, the superb workmanship speaks for itself. We are very pleased. He used the online system to show me the progress of my home, and help me keep all my communication, pictures, and selection in one easy location that I could access any time. The finished product was fabulous. We love our home!” - Edward & Jen Anders

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE From: Dawn Cameron, CRA, HMC President, New York City/Long Island Chapter of NARI

Are Your Energy Bills Too High?

T

he typical American family spends $1,900 each month on utility payments. If you’re looking for a way to reduce your monthly costs, investing in upgrades that make your home more efficient should do the trick. It will also impress cost-conscious homebuyers and potentially enhance your home’s market value if you decide to sell.

TOP 6 ENGERY-SAVING HOME IMPROVEMENTS: Windows/Doors $$$$ Replace single-pane windows with dual-pane models that have high-performance glass. New technologies can cut your heating and cooling costs by 10 percent to 25 percent. (1) Water Heating $$$$ Replacing older units with Energy Star models saves an average of $76 per year; tankless water heaters cost more but deliver up to 30 percent more savings than standard natural gas units. (1) (2) Heating/Cooling (HVAC) $$$$ New Energy Star furnaces and AC units are much more efficient than older units; it may be worth replacing one that is more than 15 years old. $$ Replacing and/or cleaning air filters regularly could lower your bills by 5 percent or more. (2) Install a programmable thermostat to automatically lower the temperature 10° to 15° for 8 hours per day, and you’ll save as much as 10 percent per year. (1) Insulation $$$$ Installing insulation within the walls is an elaborate project that most likely will require the services of a

professional that the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) certainly can provide you with.

Appliances $$$$ Replacing washers, refrigerators, and dishwashers is quick and easy. You can save an average of $34 a year in energy costs for each new Energy Star model you purchase. (2) We have the suppliers for you for that as well!

Lighting $ When replacing old lights, use Energy Star qualified fixtures. Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) last longer than standard lights and each one will save you $30 over it’s lifetime – LED products last longer and use even less energy. (1) Investing in energy-saving home improvements will not only lower your energy bills and benefit the environment; they could also make your home a more comfortable place to live and enhance its resale value.

Hicksville, NY BUILDING CUSTOMER DREAMS SINCE 1983

Double D Contractors is a fully licensed and insured Design/Build Remodeling Company dedicated to turning your remodeling dream into reality. Founded in 1983, the company focuses on providing excellent service, superior workmanship and unparalleled quality.

“Our goal is to provide homeowners with a high-quality remodeling job in a professional manner and at a fair price,” says Doug Dervin, company founder and president. “From installing a front door to a whole house remodel, we have the certified employees and tradesmen to do the job right,” he says.

Dervin himself is a Certified Remodeler and Certified Lead Carpenter. He is also past Chairman of the Board of NARI. Every remodeling project Double D works on is closely supervised by a Certified Lead Carpenter who checks regularly on your project and reports its status directly to the management team. Our trained office staff coordinates every project and can assist you with any questions you may have about your project, whether they pertain to design, production, scheduling or just the financial status of the job.

“We take great pride in making a customer’s project run as smoothly as possible,” Dervin says. ”We strive for careful quality control during all stages of design and construction. And we use only the best materials available to assure the finest renovation possible.”

"Products like Tyvek®, Azek®, and CertainTeed vinyl siding have helped our company win eleven Region One Contractor of The Year Awards,” Dervin emphasizes. "Some of the products we use, like Tyvek, are not visible when the job is complete, but we know the added comfort it provides will help our business down the road. By cutting down drafts and avoiding mold we keep our clients happy.

CertainTeed products, especially the vinyl siding, is always on the cutting edge with new and better products that help us cut down on call backs while offering great looking products. Azek Trimboards eliminate rot, can be installed with or without painting, and look better than wood."

RELOCATE OR REMODEL

BY LORRAINE HART

T

he economic conditions of the past few years have thrown a monkey wrench into plans and dreams for so many homeowners. Unfortunately many of us have had to adjust our goals and re-plan our futures.

With the real estate market in an unknown state, people are really nervous about selling their houses to buy newer, bigger homes. Many of us are making due with what we have and are “waiting out” the economy. However, many more of us are doing remodeling projects to upgrade our current homes until things get better.

If you have not already done so, it may be time to re-focus and possibly re-plan. Fortunately, there are options that may actually be better than our original plans.

ADDITIONS OR EXTENSIONS For those who need more space and thought the answer was to sell and buy a larger home, perhaps the solution to the space crunch is an addition or extension. This solution also works well for accommodating merging families. Just as there are many considerations in the decision to relocate or remodel, there are many factors to consider in choosing to remodel your home in order to accommodate grown children or aging parents.

PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY OF: FLANAGAN CONTRACTING, INC.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER Perhaps the biggest issue in opting for extended family living is that of privacy. With the proper remodel, good communication and firm agreements, this option can have many significant financial advantages. Although the costs of running a larger

22

NARI NYC/LI

household will be more than those of a single family unit, the costs will be less than those of two separate households.

AGING IN PLACE Perhaps you want to downsize or prepare for a scaled-back lifestyle or retirement of sorts. In that case you may want to prepare your home for the next phase of your life. Just because you may be retiring from your business activities certainly doesn’t mean you will be retiring from life. This may be the perfect time to make those changes in your home to suit your new lifestyle.

This could include setting up a home office, hobby rooms, or even private guest quarters for visiting family and friends.

Although guests won’t demand it, they will really appreciate a bedroom suite. If you are retiring and want to remain in your house, be sure to look into the many remodeling options for “aging in place.”

LOCATION As you contemplate the advantages and disadvantages of moving vs. remodeling, there are definite location factors to consider. These factors will depend on a number of things including your age and the age of your children, proximity to activities that you and your family enjoy, and the neighborhood itself. If you have children in school, you may want to avoid disrupting them. This is a strong incentive for remodeling instead of moving. There may be other advantages to staying in your current home. These could range from the actual block you live on, the tranquility or busyness of the area, the proximity to transporta-

S

tion or even your immediate neighbors. We tend to notice those things that we don’t like, but it is equally important to not overlook the advantages to staying where we are. In making a decision, it is usually best to write down all the pluses and minuses to your current location and have your family do the same. You may find that there are significant advantages to staying in your current home. In that case, remodeling will be a better choice for you and your family.

ADDING VALUE Assuming you decide to remodel instead of moving, keep in mind that a well-done renovation will add value to your home, so when the time does come to sell, your home will be worth significantly more.

If a careful analysis of your living situation indicates that it is time to sell, I urge you to find a home stager to assist in the process. A good home stager will give you an honest assessment of your home, coordinate any needed repairs, assist with the rearrangement of furniture and will help in the decoration of your home for a fast sale at the best possible price.

CHOOSE WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU Whether you choose to remodel or to relocate it is vitally important that you choose to work with professionals who will help you optimize your future living arrangements.

taging a home enhances the finest qualities and selling features of the home, thereby increasing the home’s marketability. It includes depersonalizing, not sterilizing, and is never used to trick buyers or cover up flaws. Instead, it demonstrates the possibilities, the vision, each home presents to the viewer. This vision begins at the curb and is the reason a potential buyer gets out of the car to continue the journey. For this reason, it is essential for staging to begin at the curb and maintain continuity right through the front door.

No matter how analytical our society becomes there is an emotional aspect that will never be eliminated from the purchase of a home. The first thing a new homeowner wants to do after purchasing a new home is to make it their own. This process actually begins during the first walk through as the buyer imagines themselves and their possessions in the space they are viewing.

Do not assume a house’s potential, that you can clearly see, is obvious to everyone. Even an investor with a trained eye can miss the possibilities a house has to offer. Whether that house is a long-term investment bringing in rental income or a short-term investment purchased to flip, if the investor does not immediately see its cost-effective potential, he will move on to the next house.

The cost to stage a home is less than the first reduction a house goes through as it sits stagnant in a market that is already flooded with inventory. A professionally staged home priced, listed and marketed by a licensed real estate agent will sell quicker and bring a fair market price.

My Home Staging Experience

By Lorraine Hart

R

ecently, my husband and I decided to sell our house and contacted a real estate agent who told us that the house looked dated. We brought in a professional home stager who turned it around and made it very saleable. They did an amazing job at turning my house into an inviting and beautiful home. The difference in just two weeks was spectacular. All areas of the needed work were totally coordinated so there was very little I needed to worry about. As the result of the work done, we were able to do the impossible—we sold our house in just eight days.

THE 2010 NARI NYC/LI

CONTRACTOR OF THE YEAR

AWARDS n the past, I have often spoken to a homeowner or group of homeowners and wished I could show them the high-quality of work New York City/Long Island NARI members do. And now I can. The following pages are dedicated to our 2010 Contractor of the Year (CotY) Awards.

The CotY Awards recognize excellence in the remodeling industry in several remodeling categories, including whole-house renovations, kitchen & bath remodels, interiors, historical renovations and more.

In addition, award categories are broken down by total project cost.

For instance, there’s an award for residential interior over $100,000 and one for below $100,000. So whatever your budget, you can see the possibilities.

Award winners have demonstrated superior workmanship, design innovation and material selection. Their work is truly the best of the best. Now, it’s my pleasure to introduce the 2010 NARI NYC/LI Chapter CotY Awards. Enjoy.

his project consisted of a complete interior and exterior remodel of a ranch home, including a second floor addition.

The addition had an enormous impact on the look and functional space in the home. The completed home features functional enhancements such as: two staircases, washer and dryer on both floors, central vacuum, master bedroom suite with four walk-in closets, gym, and private outdoor terrace accessible from three rooms overlooking the Great South Bay. Aesthetic elements include granite kitchen countertops and dark cherry wood cabinets, full onyx mosaic-tiled bathroom with double-sinks, and a double-sided natural gas fireplace with mounted televisions on both sides.

The exterior was improved with new siding, turrets, heated pool, re-faced bulkhead, landscaping, and a three car garage.

The young couple was about to get married and wished to redo their home before they moved in and started a family. The original house wasn't large enough for them but had some nice features to it as far as layout. They had concerns about making the new first floor wide open for entertaining both of their large families. They wanted the first floor to be comfortable for gatherings and also practical for their everyday living. They wanted to keep the original footprint of the home without any extensions.

We drew up plans that included a new open floor plan on the first level with a kitchen, powder room, living room, and dining room with all of the rooms open to each other.

The new ceilings would be nine feet high. The new second floor includes all of the bedrooms with master suite, private bathroom, walk-in closet, 2 bedrooms, and a hall bathroom. The front foyer was to be a center hall colonial look with grand ceilings all of the way up to the roof.

Upon completion, the house is perfect for entertaining and has spare rooms for the new family. After a few months, the homeowners say that they love everything especially their new first floor layout and master suite.

Their old style cape just became their new home.

n an attempt to restore her childhood home, this homeowner and her husband proposed a renovation which would incorporate modern amenities into a life-sized keepsake of childhood memories. The new house would ideally include certain mementos from the past as well as enough space to house a design studio for the owner/artist.

The three bedroom ranch was expanded to include a complete second story, a small front addition with a porch, rear additions off the garage and 3 foot rear additions for the bedrooms, as well as a sunroom. Above the garage a full artist’s studio was put in place allowing the homeowner to createfrom home. Wood planking was carefully salvaged before the remodel, and reused in the finished design. Single boards were meticulously removed and then transplanted into the finished project, both throughout the house as accents and as part of a fully paneled bathroom.

Midway through the project, the client’s husband lost his job, so careful financial planning became top priority without sacrificing the integrity of the project. Through careful budgeting and strategic planning, the builder and homeowners reached the desired result despite the unexpected circumstances. In the end the clients’ new home is both a testament to the past and a beautiful space which will satisfy for many years to come.

he homeowners’ desired a new kitchen. The woman of the house was confined to a wheelchair and the present kitchen certainly did not accommodate her abilities. She found it very difficult to perform any tasks, except for ones that could be done at the kitchen table. Removing any items from the refrigerator with top mounted freezer was a challenge and retrieving anything from the oven was hazardous. She no longer enjoyed any cooking activities.

Having a lower work area that could accommodate a wheelchair was her primary need. Being able to work at the sink and cook top were never previously considered by them. After consultations with both of the homeowners, a new kitchen was custom built to accommodate her needs The homeowners selected the cherry cabinets for their depth and richness of color. The natural red oak flooring offered a pleasant contrast, and accentuated the cabinets. The granite chosen had an array of earth tones that contained many shades of colors; ranging from beiges to browns to reds and black. A mixture of these colors was also used for the back splash tile. A tile pattern that featured an expanded funnel was formed to mimic the hood. The variation in the heights and depths of the cabinets and counters created a dynamic visual interest that the homeowners love. They both now enjoy preparing meals.

ur client desperately needed a screened-in porch because during the warmer weather, he could not sit outside without being eaten alive. We solved his problem by building a beautiful Ipe (Brazilian Hardwood) deck but with a section to get away from the insects and to protect him from the rain. A nice feature of this is the fact that they can go up on the second level (not at dusk) and take advantage of the excellent view they have of the golf course and small lake.

PVC trim was used for all the fascia work so maintenance would be at a minimum for them.

We used hidden drains behind the fascia and drainpipes ran through the columns to improve the aesthetics. We used about 12 helical piles to keep the deck from settling as this was built near the water. In this project it is what you don't see that became very important. The homeowners were so happy with the project that they invited the whole crew over for a BBQ on their new deck!

company profile Island Kitchens & Baths Charles Testa, CKD, CBD, Owner & President Patchogue, NY 631-447-1700 www.islandkitchens.com Located in Patchogue, NY, Island Kitchens & Baths is one of the leading remodelers on Long Island. Specializing in kitchen, bathroom, home office and entertainment unit design, installation and remodeling, Island Kitchens & Baths combines innovative design capabilities with superior products to transform your existing space into a room fit for living, a room fit for you.

Charles A. Testa, CKD, CBD, owner and president, brings years of knowledge and experience in the home improvement industry to each and every one of his dynamic kitchen and bath creations.

He began his career as a carpentry contractor specializing in home renovations and eventually introduced his skills and creativity into the designing of unique kitchens and baths.

“The goal of every project is to create a kitchen or bathroom design that’s personalized to the customer’s needs and budget,” says Testa. “Utmost priority is given to functionality,” he says.

“For instance, a kitchen is supposed to be a workplace first.”

“While function is a key element in all of our designs, creativity and color are important factors as well,” Testa says. “For a design to be successful, the homeowner must really enjoy being in the room.”

High-quality products are hallmarks of every Island Kitchens & Baths project.

“We work with America’s leading kitchen and bathroom manufacturers to offer you cabinetry, countertops and plumbing products that transcend common design boundaries,” says Testa.

“The use of superior products is crucial to design success and customer happiness with the end result.”

His fusion of creative design and functionality has been applauded by more than happy clients. Here is what a few had to say: “At the onset of our remodel, we had many questions and a few ideas. Charlie helped us focus on a design that is both functional and visually pleasing. His attention to detail was of paramount importance, and it is manifestly evident in the result.”

“A great professional kitchen designer is as important as a good architect. An architect may create the overall space, but a good kitchen designer is needed to sculpt the layout, design and aesthetics of the true ‘heart’ of the home... the kitchen. Charlie Testa did exactly that.”

“Quality was foremost on our minds from the beginning of the project. Your professional approach gave us the confidence the job was going to be done right. The fit and finish of the cabinets, and the total look and functionality that was achieved is exactly what we had hoped you would accomplish for us, and you came through with flying colors.”

Island Kitchens & Baths has received NARI NYC/LI CotY awards for outstanding kitchen & bath design/remodeling in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, Regional CotY awards 2005, 2007, 2010 and 2011, and a National CotY Award 2005.

fter an electrical fire destroyed their previous home, Joanne and Ed Nusdlatt found the perfect replacement looking out on a golf course and the New York harbor channel. At roughly 5,000 square feet, with four bedrooms, and four full baths, it was almost perfect…almost. It did not have anywhere to take advantage of the outdoors and the home’s great views.

“Our previous home had a screenedin porch that we liked very much,” says Ed. “We also wanted to add a deck off the home’s master bedroom upstairs to take advantage of the unbelievable views.”

CONSTRUCTION CHALLENGES “The homeowners really needed the screened-in porch so they could sit outside during dusk in warmer weather and not be bothered by insects,” says Kent

Buell, MCR, CKBR, of Kentstruction in Medford. “The two-story structure also provides protection from any rain.”

Importantly, the project enhances the home’s existing aesthetics. The added structure keeps with the home’s square lines, as well as matching the white trim around all of its windows and doors. The Kentstruction team made sure the support columns would not block the home’s large sliding doors. They achieved these spans using micro-lam beams.

Special attention was paid to make sure the stonework around the barbeque blends aesthetically with the home and the landscaping. The deck itself is constructed of beautiful Ipe (Brazilian hardwood) which was stained a rich, dark color to contrast with the white PVC trim.

The entire deck perimeter, screen-in porch, and all columns are trimmed in Azek PVC trim and all balusters for the railing were individually installed. By using PVC trim for all the fascia work, homeowner maintenance is kept at a minimum.

“We used hidden fasteners for the Ipe decking and handmade the decorative railing panels,” says Buell. “Keeping the symmetry and balance of the railing was a painstaking process.”

Kentstruction used an innovative method to overcome the drainage for the second-floor deck. “You cannot see it, but there are gutters and leaders draining the second-floor deck,” says

Buell. “We decided to hide the gutters by recessing a channel behind the fascia. This channel got pitched and the roofing went right into it. We hid the leader pipes inside the square columns.

The upper deck boards cover the gutters. So, in this case, it is what you don’t see that became important,” he says.

Another challenge of this project was that all 12 supports had to have helical columns sunk into the ground to approximately 20 feet before the cement footings were poured. Because the house sits along the water, this process assures the deck won’t settle over time.

SELECTING A CONTRACTOR The Nusdlatts had three contractors bid on their project and felt most comfortable with Kent Buell and his firm. “A good friend of mine in the neighborhood used them for a fairly extensive project in his own home and recommended them,” Ed says. “He was honest and true to his word.”

In fact, Joanne and Ed were so happy with the project that they invited the whole building crew over for a barbeque on their new deck.

Ed worked with his architect, Arlene Gilbert, to turn his ideas into a twostory deck and porch. The first level features a deck off the kitchen and living room with a built-in barbeque for entertaining. It flows into a screened-in porch off one end of the house. Above the screened-in porch is a second-story deck with additional seating and more great views.

GREEN REMODELING

verybody wants a great home. We remodel our homes to improve our kitchens, our bathrooms, our living spaces, and our quality of life. We spend a significant amount of energy planning and selecting just the right materials or design elements for our homes. Many of us have families whom we care about deeply and we work hard to provide for them and keep them happy, healthy, and safe.

When most of us were in school we worked hard to get good grades. It wasn't always easy, but bringing home a report card with straight D's was not rewarded. And with good reason. Barely passing, below average, was hardly an accomplishment, and definitely not something to be proud of. In some areas, our building codes are designed to be just good enough to keep us from getting hurt. They are essentially the equivalent of a "D." However, in some cases, building codes, while still the minimum standard, may be a bit better, but it depends where you live.

When we talk about what a great home is, we should be talking about something that is a better than a "D." This is where green remodeling comes into the picture.

Green remodeling and building are all about going well beyond the bare minimum to create something of quality that is healthy and safe for you and does less damage to our environment and our community. Green remodeling is really about making great spaces for your family while being responsible. However, keep in mind that different people view green in different ways. Not all green building approaches are also healthier and all healthier building practices are not green.

We all know that Green remodeling is the right thing to do, and it’s probably safe to say that there aren’t any builders or remodelers who do not want to build green. So why isn’t everyone remodeling green? It is a bit of a catch 22. The problem is that construction professionals don’t think that homeowners want green, and most homeowners think construction professionals don’t want to or know how to

build green. And both parties think it costs more. Well let’s set this story straight.

MYTH #1 Homeowners are not interested in Green.

This is obviously not true. Organic food sales are through the roof. Target is selling bamboo shirts (which incidentally are not very green), and Ford is producing efficient hybrid vehicles. In a less than stellar economy, the growth in the sustainable and green market continues to be steady. Why? Because when we have the opportunity to have healthier, happier lives, we choose it. What you, as a homeowner, need to do is let your remodeler or designer know that you want something better than a D and ask to have your remodel certified.

MYTH #2 Green is expensive. This is also not true.

Data from around the country shows that to build a certified new home adds 2 percent to 3 percent to the cost of a home!

Experienced green builders actually

MYTH #3 Green is too hard. For you, the homeowner, going green in remodeling is easy.

Just tell your remodeler and designer you want your project to be as green as possible. That is all you have to do. For the remodeler or design professional, there is some work involved. Just like school, this requires some training and some practice. Because the secret to green remodeling is in the process and NOT the product, the planning and design stage is very important and takes additional effort to think things through and consider the impact of an action.

MYTH #4 Green building is for big projects and new homes. Totally untrue! While LEED requires that you practically re-build your home, green remodeling projects of all sizes are happening all of the time; bathroom remodels, kitchen remodels, win-

show a reduction in cost overall as they become better at building better. With remodeling you can often see a reduction in project cost! Properly installed insulation and air sealing, costs nothing more, but can save energy. A green home needs a smaller heating system, which is less expensive, and often no AC is needed, which also saves money. Water-saving shower heads cost the same as regular shower heads and offer the same pleasurable experience. According to Alure Home Improvements, in East Meadow, NY, dual flush toilets use a fraction of the water and cost the same to purchase and install, saving money on water bills.

About 50 percent of your water use is spent on keeping turf grass green when native grasses don’t need watering and only occasionally need mowing.

Today, ultra-Low VOC paints are the same price as regular paint but are much healthier for your family, as are NoAdded-Urea-Formaldehyde-plywoods.

Your biggest expense comes from the third-party inspections that green remodeling requires, but the value of having an independent audit of the performance and the project seems worth the minimal cost. Also, according to Appliance World, in Huntington, NY, energy efficient appliances save on water and energy.

dow and siding replacement, attic or basement finishing, and of course additions. According to Andersen Windows, which are sold at WindowRama, in Edgewood, NY, just replacing your windows can significantly save on energy bills, as well.

MYTH #5 Green is all about energy. This may be the most commonly misunderstood part of green remodeling. The beauty of green is that it is a whole-systems way of thinking.

It gives equal weight to each key concept and asks us to consider the interconnected nature of the world we live in.

A systems approach means understanding that insulating the house reduces air infiltration, which means less fresh air to the occupant. We understand the link and the danger in insulating without considering occupant health. A systems approach has us ask the question about how much energy it took to make the insulation, what were the environmental impacts, and what are the impacts on the installer and the occupant when handling this material. In fact, green remodeling really starts with community and the impact on the health and well being of the people manufacturing the products, then those installing the products—and then those living with the products. Community impact and indoor environmental quality are the top concerns. Next is water, then resource efficiency (which includes durability, recycling, and embodied energy), and then finally energy efficiency. If we reduce the

quality of life of someone in India so that we can have cheap slate in our green home, we are really taking advantage of someone less fortunate, which is neither fair nor beneficial to all concerned.

The straight story on green remodeling is that it is easier than you might think. It can save you money, it conserves resources, it is healthier for you and your family, and most importantly it is the right thing to do. You have the power with your next remodel to be a force for good in the world and your community. Think about how hard you worked to save for that remodeling project, do you really want to buy a ‘D’ grade project when you can have a ‘B’ or an ‘A’ home with little to no additional expense? New York residents love our areas natural resources and we value our neighbors. Do your part.

FLOORING BASICS:

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FLOORING

O

ften referred to as the “fifth wall,” your floor and how you cover it can have a big impact on any remodeling project. Floor covering can affect your project’s character, durability, and budget.

Choosing flooring for your home doesn’t have to be complicated, but you do need to do your homework. The entire square footage of your home needs to be covered with some type of flooring. You need to think about how you want the room to look, how you are going to use the space, and how much you want to spend.

BUILDING CHARACTER Floor covering has a major impact on the look and feel of a room. According to Jarro Building Industries Corp., in East Meadows, NY, the type of flooring you select can help you instill a certain character in your space. For instance, if you desire a clean, modern look, the right tile might help you achieve it. A rustic or “north woods” motif can be brought to life with a wood floor. The right carpeting might suggest warmth and comfort.

TRAFFIC PATTERN Nothing in your home gets more use than

your flooring. So when selecting any type of flooring, it is critical that you consider the amount of wear and tear it is going to get. According to K & J Contracting Corp., in Seaford, NY, you should consider floor traffic, as well as room usage.

For instance, a kitchen or main bathroom that gets heavy use and foot traffic needs a harder-wearing floor covering than the master or guest bedrooms.

Other questions to ask yourself include: Do you have children? Do you have pets? Do you plan on doing a lot of entertaining?

And while the durability of your floor covering is certainly a matter of the type of material you select, the amount you invest in a particular material can also have an impact. If you want your carpeting to look as good in 10 years as it does when you install it, you are going to need to invest a little bit more per square foot.

COST/BENEFIT CONSIDERATIONS Whether you are building a home or remodeling a particular space, you will need to cover the floors. And that means budget appropriately for the type of flooring you want to install.

Homeowners need to do some research to set their flooring budget. Too often, the flooring budget is an afterthought. While it might be tempting to go with the lowest price per square foot, you probably will not get the quality you desire.

FLOORING TRENDS Flooring for your home can basically be divided into two different categories: soft-surface and hard-surface. There are many different brands and options to choose from, but basically your choices include: hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, cork, bamboo, carpet, and linoleum.

Whatever you choose, each type has unique characteristics and advantages.

Hard surfaces—more specifically, hardwood floors—are currently the top choice of most newly built or remodeled homes. Hardwood flooring is becoming more popular in many rooms that have 42

otherwise been carpeted in the past, and then area rugs are placed on top.

Hardwood floors typically have a lower life cycle cost than carpet and add more value when it's time to sell the home.

Other choices for hard surfaces, including ceramic tiles and laminate, are also dominating the residential flooring options, and in contrast, the carpeting trends continue to move toward softer, textured, and more luxurious styles. Area rugs not only add charm, warmth, and comfort to a space, but rugs are leading the way as the hottest decorating feature.

When choosing flooring options, here are some options to choose from: HARDWOOD FLOORS Hardwood floors can add old-world elegance with modern twists, moving more toward distressed planks, wider widths, and exotic woods. Depending on how you want the room to look, hardwood flooring can be elegant or rustic. Keep in mind when you choose the kind of wood, you want it to be beautiful as well as durable. Explore the variety of finishes, colors, and wood types available. You are sure to find a look you’ll like.

The most popular hardwoods include oak, then maple, and ash. Specialty woods tend to be more expensive, however, they are often quite beautiful. Depending on your budget, you may want the luxurious look of specialty woods. Walnut, teak, and cherry are popular choices.

You can also customize your wood floor, arranging it in a unique design, or using different stains. Unexpected shades of stain can make your floor stand out like no other.

FLOOR TILE Ceramic floor tiles offer timeless beauty and durability. Travertine tile is also another flooring option becoming more and more popular. One of the most durable of all tiling materials are ceramic tile and natural stone materials, which, when properly installed, can last the lifetime of a house. This durability, com-

bined with the natural beauty of stone and the fantastic options of tile types, colors, patterns, and textures makes tile and stone the materials of choice where quality and character are important.

CERAMIC TILE VS. STONE Ceramic tile and stone are very different.

Stone flooring can include quarried slate, limestone, flagstone, granite, or marble.

Natural stone tile is a relatively affordable alternative to stone and is made from real stone aggregate suspended in a polymer binder.

Choosing the right stone tile is usually a combination of personal preference and budget considerations. According to Distinctive Granite & Marble, in Holbrook, NY, marble and granite, for example, offer a more formal appearance. The more expensive of stone flooring, marble is an elegant, ornamental stone that takes a high polish.

Both sandstone and limestone are more brittle but less costly.

Ceramic tile is made from slabs of clay that are known for hardness. Ceramic tile may be either glazed or unglazed. Glazed tiles have very hard, smooth surfaces that reject water and stains. Again, this is yet another time to consider the traffic in the room.

VINYL FLOORING This flooring offers so much to choose from. You can choose the look of stone, ceramic or hardwood; and sheet vinyl and vinyl tiles are an easy solution for today’s homeowner looking for quality and design. Vinyl tiles are also easy to install and are popular for many do-ityourself projects. Like Vinyl sheet, vinyl tile is durable, affordable, and easy to maintain. Vinyl sheet flooring comes in a variety of styles from wood looks to natural stone, to patterned designs.

Vinyl sheet is also durable and is an easy-to-clean floor type that can be installed anywhere in the home. It is also known for its resistance to scuffs, stains, and spills.

CARPETING Once known as the most practical home flooring, carpet can bring color and warmth into every room. Your options are endless when it comes to patterns, colors, textures, and is still one of the topselling floor coverings today.

You may be overwhelmed by the many choices when it comes to carpet. Don't choose carpeting only for its color.

Consider the carpet's fibers and construction, as well as your lifestyle and how you use the room it will be in.

FLOORING BASICS:

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FLOORING Patterned carpets are increasingly popular. The patterns are made of cut & loop pile. Plush or cut-pile carpet has loops trimmed off so that yarn ends poke up.

While a popular choice, plush carpet doesn't tend to wear as well as berber carpeting.

Berber carpet creates a nubby texture with complete yarn loops that stand upright.

Wool is a popular carpeting fiber. It tends to cost more than synthetics, but it's comfortable, durable, and natural looking. Be aware that direct sunlight will fade wool fiber over time.

Synthetic fibers are made from several artificial materials. Nylon is the most popular because of its durability, although it can be damaged by prolonged exposure to sunlight.

There are also an increasing number of value added features available on newer carpeting. Stain resistant and odor absorbing products are becoming more and more available.

CORK FLOORING Known for its comfort to walk on, cork flooring is also very warm, and is gaining popularity among older people who are remodeling their homes while keeping “aging-in-place� a priority.

BAMBOO FLOORS An extremely environmentally friendly hardwood, bamboo is becoming one of the most popular flooring trends. Although it is currently more popular on the west coast, it is also gaining popularity throughout the United States. Technically a grass, not a wood product, bamboo is a renewable resource that can be harvested every five years. Additionally, bamboo is actually harder than hardwood floors, which makes it a much more durable material.

LAMINATE FLOORING Originally from Europe, laminate floors are practical due to its durability, hard

wearing, and beautiful options. Laminates offer stone and granite patterns for unlimited decorating possibilities.

LINOLEUM Although not nearly as popular in upscale remodeling projects, linoleum was known for being environmentally friendly years ago. It is available in a large selection of colors and patterns and is suitable for any decorating solution. Linoleum is durable and environmentally friendly. It can enhance many rooms with its marbled patterns and unique designs.

RUGS This versatile decorating choice can add character to any room. You can use your sense of style and personality in any area of your home. This year, luxurious shag rugs in front of roaring fireplaces are a big hit with decorators.

CONSULT AN EXPERT Whatever flooring you choose, make sure you consult with an expert. Professionals understand materials, textures and colors, and they can help you get the most value per square foot. Importantly, an expert will make sure your price is the total installed price and that you understand what your product warranty includes.

They will also make sure you understand how to maintain your flooring so you get the most out of your investment.

ALTER ECOSYSTEMS TAKES ON

UNIQUE PROJECT

JLC Landscape Services, in Farmingville, NY, recently opened its new division—Alter Ecosystems Ponds and Waterfalls.

A

ccording to JLC Owner, Joseph Cerbone, the new division is managed by Ed Drohan, water garden specialist, and Ed has been designing, installing, and maintaining ponds for 18-plus years. Alter Ecosystems is affiliated with Aquascape, Inc. of St. Charles, IL—which is the largest distributor of pond-related equipment in North America.

Furthermore, Ed has been a Certified Aquascape Contractor (CAC) for seven-plus years. Alter Ecosystems works primarily on the east end of Suffolk, NY, but is no stranger to traveling.

Ed is presently working on a large cleaning of a system he redesigned five years ago. The original construction had only been in the ground for a year or less when Ed was called upon to re-design the entire water garden. Due to the incorrect installation, the system was disassembled and all new components were installed to create this jewel of the Hamptons.

The entire re-construction took approximately one month to complete.

The upper pond is 90' x 65' x 3' and it feeds down a 60' river, connecting to the lower pond, which measures at 95' x 45' x 4'.

The upper pond features an arched bridge, designed and installed by a local artist/sculptor.

Both ponds have a gorgeous array of Lilies, Lotus, and Koi fish.
