 Charles Lantz Cabinetry - "Furniture-grade cabinets!" | |
Busy Halifax couple appreciates CLC!
HALIFAX - Nancy Smith was new to Halifax last fall. While picking up her kids from school, she asked other moms who they recommended for carpentry and cabinetry. One woman was very enthusiastic about her Charles Lantz kitchen. Now Nancy knows why.
"He did a good job" she says - "there's so many angles in our kitchen and it works really well - no wasted space. He has the nicest team. Kyle and Dana [built and] installed the kitchen. They were so much fun."

Applause for CLC: Nancy, who loves to cook, now has the perfect place to wield her skills. "Charles and I work really well together, we tweaked a few little things - he was very accommodating." |
| Deck safety season with Bigfoot Systems! | |
EVERYWHERE - The deck is the perfect place to enjoy warm weather with friends and loved ones. But an unsafe deck could collapse, causing serious injuries to you and your guests.
The number of deck failures and resulting injuries is increasing at an alarming rate. Between 2000 and 2008, at least 30 deaths were reported due to deck collapses. More than 75 percent of people on a deck when it collapses are injured or killed.
With approximately four million decks in Canada over 20 years old, it's important for homeowners to check their decks.
This month Bigfoot systems launches a new deck safety page - it includes checklists as well as some scary deck collapse videos (simulated of course!)
