Photo of the Month
This outdated 1950's kitchen and home was in desperate need of a facelift. The small, cramped kitchen was opened up removing the door and wall between it and the living room. An island was added and a large pantry space incorporated to improve entertaining area and storage. There are new stained cabinets, Cambria countertops and backsplash, light fixtures, stainless steel appliances including a Zephyr hood, gas range, and new flooring. We build our client's vision with integrity | | |

Come Cheer us on --
Don't miss your chance to see Joseph Irons riding his unicycle and the rest of the Irons Brothers Construction staff strutting their stuff in this year's Shoreline Parade.
On Saturday, August 18th, the team will be out in full force alongside our MINI Cooper S and Dump Truck wearing hard hats, tools belts and dancing along to some of the funniest construction themed songs you can think of.
Come see Irons Brothers Construction walking to "We Built This City" and "Knock on Wood" among other favorite tunes. It's going to be a good time and of course stickers and candy for the kids too!

If you would like to walk with us in the parade contact us, we would love for you to join us!

| Swimming Safety |  | |
Summer's here and so is outdoor swimming season...
Here are some tips on being safe in the water:
1. Know the Water - water that is warm above may be cold below. Rivers can move faster than you think
2. Know your Limits - swimming in open waters is different than in the pool
3. Wear a Life Jacket that Fits You - children under 12 must wear a life jacket when on a moving boat less than 19 feet long
4. Learn to swim - take a class or enroll your child in a class at a local pool or gym
5. Swim in a lifeguarded area if possible. Most drownings are preventable and a lifeguard is a part of this safety program
6. Be Prepared - check conditions and have a safety plan in place
