Spring has sprung – give your home some TLC
It’s somewhat ironic that many people are religious about car maintenence, yet a car depreciates quickly over only a few short years. A house, however, appreciates over time, yet homeowners tend to neglect annual the maintenence necessary to keep up the home until it becomes a problem. The time to check for necessary repairs is now, not when those April showers make their way into your bedroom in the middle of the night.
So, what if you’re like so many other homeowners, and you just can’t squeeze in the time needed to inspect your home, you don’t know what to look for, or you are not physically able to climb ladders and crouch down in a crawlspace, etc…?
Airoom now offers seasonal home maintenence programs, some of which include handyman services to make any necessary repairs. We’ll inspect your roof shingles, inspect your siding, inspect your smoke detectors, and much, much more. For more information, call us at 847-763-1100 and ask about our seasonal home maintenence programs.
Airoom team is walking for March of Dimes
Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. Our team is walking in March for Babies because we want to do something about this. We’ll be marching on April 25th at Busse Woods in Elk Gove Village.
The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Funds raised in March for Babies support research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And they will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care.
Meet the designers
Today, I’ll begin with a post that will be a regular feature on Airoom’s blog, called “Meet the Designers” Each post will highlight one member of our family of designers, giving you a small insight into their background, specialties, and life outside of architecture and building.
Robert Heilman:
2010 marks Bob’s tenth year at Airoom. Bob holds both a Bachelors and Master of Architecture from the Univ. of Il – Champaign – Urbana and became a Licensed Architect in 1993. He is also a Certified Green Builder.
Before joining Airoom, Bob held positions in project development for companies such as White Hen Pantry, Hertz, Gateway, Hallmark, etc. leading new store and facility project creation, but residential work has always been his passion.
“I feel that over the last ten years I have excelled at understanding client’s needs/wants and translating those wishes into functionally beautiful projects! I especially like kitchen and family room design as these spaces truly are the heart of the home!”
Some projects that Bob particularly enjoyed developing are:
-
- This kildeer kitchen renovation is a source of pride for Bob
-
- Bob enjoyed designing this kitchen remodel for a Wheaton family
-
- Blending the roofline with the existing home in this Aurora addition was a challenge, but turned out beautifully.
Bob’s wife, Sheila and two daughters, Kelsey and Erin have resided in Oak Park for the last 20 years. They love the community and are now in the midst of their third home renovation project! You can say it’s a hobby that the whole family can enjoy! When time allows you can find Bob and his family in northern Wisconsin sitting on a dock watching the loons and eagles.
In-house architects prove to be an advantage for customers. Even the Village inspector is impressed with work done by Airoom.
A couple in Westchester is currently enjoying entertaining guests in their home thanks to the work of in-house architects at Airoom.
Mr. Klein, my wife and I want to express to you our sincere appreciation for the work your company’s employees did making the addition to our house everything we wanted and more. Everything these people did for us was simply fabulous.
What some people may not realize is the advantage your company has over other companies by having your own architects. We worked with Ian on an initial design and all he had to do was go to your offices and review it with your architects to put together what I’ll call a final design. Ian and your architects came up with a better design hat we used. The thing about this is the final design was the same cost as the initial design. There were no surprises. The project came in right on budget with no additional charges.
