Bathroom Home Depot

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

December

Seems like we scratch our heads and wonder how to get buy most the time. We were able to get through the holidays with a little luck from our web page, relatives and friends.  Thank you all for trusting our abilities to perform and get the job done.

Not to far in the past we installed an IKEA bath, so it was fun doing a guest bath with products from the EXPO. This is an upscale part of Home Depot. ( It appears they may be actually closing this store.) Call or click the Expo link to find out about all the sales : 480 538-2460

The customers created the design and painted the miror and medicine cabinet with gloss black enamel with gold high-lights. We installed  the new marble topped vanity, vessel sink and Pegasus bamboo style faucet. Also not shown we replaced the shower faucet and shower head with matching Pegasus hardware.

The job also consisted of sheet rock repair, paint and new paper and towel holders.

Ikea Arizona Bathroom

Ikea Bathroom

Ikea Bathroom

IKEA is a great store. Click on photo for a larger image. This short story is in regards to the available cabinetry, shelving units and related fixtures. Very contemporary products at a decent price.  Things to keep in mind about there products is that they have to be built. That’s right !  The products come packaged with instructions. Since the products come from foreign countries and are shipped around the world. The instructions are not written. They come in what I refer to as Petroglyphs. They’re pictures with little funny caricature’s pointing here and there with smiley faces. They are not all that accurate. So you may have to put your puzzle abilities to work.

At AMCorp, having installed a bathroom from Ikea. We know the time involved during this building phase. Keep in mind if hiring a contractor you will have an additional expense if they are to build your newly purchased products. The savings on one end will be lost on the building side.

You might consider buying one cabinet and giving it a try. Make sure and time your progress. It will give you a good perspective on the contractors additional fees. If your confident you could build the cabinets you will enjoy a substantial savings.

If your local and are considering an IKEA renovation. Feel free to contact AMCorp at www.OfficeOpen.com We would be happy to share with you our experience. Until then, enjoy your shopping and reading !!

Sun Rooms

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

The Deserts of Arizona does not have allot of  mosquitos. Yet there are plenty of other insects that take to the air and become a nuisance. Out here in the wide open spaces plenty of Desert Dwellers raise horses. Horses have the ability to attract flies. Fly traps are a dime a dozen, with none of them working very well.

City Dwellers have there share of flying pest also. With large amount of watered vegetation causing higher humidity. Some times of the year we can enjoy a pesky amount of nats. Along with wasp and bees.

Our family remodeling company AMCorp, recently finished a project that eliminated all of the above, and also answered the issues below.

The  Client has a four year old home on two acres. There were three concerns she wanted dealt with. #1 She was very concerned about insects, crawling or flying and all the ground visitors like mice, tarantulas, lizards and scorpions. Rarely did she go outside. #2  She also wanted to be able to garden. This meant going outside. #3  The south west side of the home had an excessive amount of sun all day. Causing sun light issues in the master bedroom.

We at AMCorp as well as our Customer were pleased with results of this newly constructed custom Screen Room. During the construction phase flies and nats made us crazy. The day after we installed the fly screen and doors, there was not a single critter flying or crawling. The direct sun was gone dropping the radiant heat tremendously. The floor was left dirt for gardening. Cobble stone would look wonderful. Our client is thrilled to have a screened in garden area, safe from her pesky friends.

Porches

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Working in the Office today. Although we are open 24/7 @ Officeopen.com . Just leave an email and Jacob or Jerry will contact you to answer any questions. You can also call us.

Our family lives in New River (a small city in Arizona), and operates a remodeling company. Now that the price of housing has moved up, allot of families are expanding the homes they’re in.

Many of the older homes we seen have less than perfect porches. Personally, one of our favorite pastimes is sitting outside in the shade, and enjoying the great mountain and or desert landscaped views. Living in Arizona allows plenty of opportunity for this outdoor living but you have to have a great area to enjoy it all from! Below are a few pictures of some of the porches we have built for clients. If your porch needs some work we can help you!

“It’s a Carefree Highway”

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

A little more demographics regarding  Desert Hills and New River, Arizona.

This little peace of Paradise runs north from Carefree Hwy. Once made famous in my world by Gordon Lightfoot ” It’s a Carefree Highway” 

New River Rd.  / 7th street running north from Carefree Highway turns into New River Rd.  This main roadway travels about 10 miles north then swings about 5 miles to the west then back southwest, back to Carefree Highway.  Check out google map below.

Some day this will be named New River Boulevard. It winds its way thru high desert vistas. Along the eastern traverse the properties are zoned one acre lots. One home per one acre of land. This is to maintain the rural lifestyle and the senic beauty. Most the property on the southwest track back to Carefree Highway is undeveloped, but has already been master planned by the state to become high density city. The huge water treatment plant just east of Lake Pleasant is complete and is large enough to supply 600,000 homes.

 Traveling north on the eastern side there are pockets of development. Desert Hills, Greer Ranch, Daisy Mountain, Circle Mountain, Fig Springs, Gavilan Valley, and Gavilan Hills. Along Interstate 17 running up the center is Tramonto and Anthem both master planed communities.

The north east run of New River Rd. supports a country lifestyle while the two master planned communities supply shopping, entertainment and all the amenities to make living out here great. It real is the best of both worlds. Below are some pictures of a few of the pocket communities. Click on photo for larger image !

Valley of the Sun

Monday, September 24th, 2007

A little geography is all you need to know ! I am guessing Phoenix Metro is approximately 60 miles east to west, and 50 miles north to south. That’s Big !

Working clockwise from north, Phoenix is surrounded by mountains. The Bradshaws, New River Mnts, Continentals, The McDowels, The Mazatals, The Supperstitions, The Santans, South Mountain, Estrellas, and the White Tanks. This is of course were the term Valley of the Sun arose from.

Years past the valley floor was lush sonoran desert. This gave way to farming, then city sprawl. There are bedroom communities or suburbs of Phoenix from one end to the other. Expansion is never ending. Most of the communities have spread out over existing farm land, that is flat and makes for easy development. A few touch on the edges of the surrounding mountains that give way to elevation changes. This elevation change results in lower density housing. Most of these rural areas use to be considered living in the country. Horses and chickens and laid back living.

As time passes the cities continue to expand, and now the rural areas if not surrounded by growth are backed into pocket areas mainly due to the mountain terrain.

Lower density, mostly acre lots, lush sonoran desert, and beautiful views. This adds up to some very nice Real Estate. The cities have brought with them, shopping, banking, schools and entertainment. The rural country now has the best of both worlds.

I have my favorite, North Scottsdale, Carefree, Cave Creek, Desert Hills and New River. They are listed in order of cost to live. I love them all, and my modest abode is located in New River.

The above locations are on my favorites list due not only to the 1,000 ft. higher elevation change, from the Valley of the Sun. But because the areas are tucked in amongst the northern mountains.

Cool nights, Lots of Stars, Mountain Views, lush Sonoran Desert, Yep, Paradise !

It ain’t all work, Jerry
