Volunteering with Rebuilding Together

Had a great time on Sunday volunteering with Rebuilding Together. We scraped and painted this fence. The elderly homeowner was very happy and so were we.
Thanks to my friend Christy for getting me involved. That's me in the white and Christy in the red and our very clean fence!

Finally!

What you've been asking for, a durable, green counter surface in a matte finish - welcome to Squak Mountain A surface material composed of 49% post-industrial recycled content and 2.5% post-consumer recycled content.

As defined on the Squak Mountain site this product is: A Fibrous-cement material comprised of recycled paper, recycled glass, and low-carbon cement. Material is hand-cast into “slabs” as an alternative to natural or quarried stone. Resembles soapstone or limestone. And it's gorgeous! Has the look of nature – varied and irregular, just the thing for our new green kitchens!

If you've used this material in your remodel, send us a picture, we'd love to see it. If your interested in it for your upcoming remodel, you know where to find us, Paragon Kitchen and Bath Studio

Helping Others

It's said that what comes around goes around and I'm a firm believer that we should utilize the skills we have for the benefit of others at least some of the time. So when my friend asked if I would volunteer with Rebuilding Together, an organization that helps low income seniors with repairs and renovations on their homes, it took me about 2 seconds to say yes. If you'd like to lend a hand, whether or not your have professional skills, join us this weekend. Find out about volunteering in Oakland here.

If your not local, check out a chapter near you and tell us about your experience.

Wowza it's been awhile

Sorry for the long break folks, March turned out to be a doosey, but I'm back with some updates. Here's a peak at a project we just finished.





Our client was out of the country while we created this luxurious shower and bathroom for her. Wouldn't you like to come back from vacation to this!
