Pull Down Attic Stairs

In this video, you will see how you can gain easier access to your attic by installing pull down stairs. If you have outdated stairs, they can also be replaced, the opening widened and there are a few options in terms of stair types. If you or someone you know is tired of having to set up a ladder on the floor to get in your attic or are afraid your stairs will fail at any moment, let us come out and inspect them and make some recommendations. You’ll be glad you did!

Planning your kitchen remodel


Planning Your Kitchen Remodel Project

Whether you’re looking to do a home addition, kitchen and bath design, kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel and more, selecting the right kitchen remodeling contractor or general contractor is one of the most, if not the most important step.

If you want to remodel your kitchen but are having difficulty visualizing the new space. Here’s a quick kitchen remodel idea or method that I like to use. Basically, I measure and mark the floor with pencil and then, using blue tape, I define the new boundaries. You can also use chairs or stools, as seen in the picture below, to create physical boundaries to help get a feel for the space.

2 HOUR TURKEY


We know you love your newly remodeled kitchen by FW&D, and are proud to invite family and company for thanksgiving dinner, but why spend all of your time in the kitchen when you could be enjoying the visit with loved ones. We came across this interesting article on how to cook a turkey in 2 hours. I think the secret is brining the turkey overnight. My granddaughter did this a few years ago and we ate the most delicious and moist turkey I have ever had. Give it a try and let us know how it turns out or if you have a family favorite please share with us.

"The Completed Work Was Terrific"

November 16, 2011

Below is a transcript of a letter we just received:

Dear Principals of FW&D:

The job was memorable. The overall renovation was performed in an organized and safe manner. The crew maintained a clean workspace even though it was a messy job (lots of drywall work and removal of a difficult countertop and tile in a 1955 bathroom). The completed work was terrific. We were preparing to put the house up for sale and FW&D’s work has really enhanced our home.

The crew that worked on the job was both skilled and resourceful. This included: Mauricio, Eddie, Jose, Juan, Richard and perhaps others. Dave Simmons was there to lead the work and quality-check all the daily and final results. You are very fortunate to have Dave for customer service job oversight. He is knowledgeable and helpful to both the customer and crew. He offered a number of good suggestions that I took when he evaluated the job. He understand the customer’s objectives and is able to communicate the customers’ wishes to the crew. And, the crew works hard to provide good results.

We would be happy to provide referrals. You may use my name and phone number for this professional purpose.

Sincerely,

Cherie Fitzgerald

New Orleans style in Fairlington








FW&D is working with a client who is originally from New Orleans and wanted the style and feel of being back home in the Big Easy. Her contributions to the design of a remodeled Fairlington bath room are amazing. I can’t wait for the finished product.
