LeTip Chester County East met on Tuesday, April 29, 2014. Our showboater was Kallee Grube, our window and door specialist from ClearView Home Solutions (www.clearviewhomesolutions.com). She reminded us that the right type of windows and doors can help to reduce energy bills not only during the winter but also during the upcoming heat of summer. Kallee offers high quality products and expert installation for a reasonable price. Contact her for a complimentary consultation and estimate (This email address is being protected from spambots.

Dieter Enz (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), our painting contractor from SLCI, was our speaker. He presented a computer slide show highlighting a few of his past projects. The first was a large house with many windows. The builder of the house had rushed the staining of the windows, and the homeowner wanted to improve their appearance. Dieter sanded the wood around the windows, retreated the wood (including the use of a UV inhibitor), and restained. The result was beautiful and will retain its beauty and integrity for many years. The second project that Dieter showed us was a house that was having an addition put on. The homeowner wanted to match the style and colors in the addition to match the original structure. Dieter told us that he spent a week matching the stain color, and he also made sure that the woodwork that would be exposed to sunlight would be protected appropriately. The final project we had a chance to look at was a large commercial property that got an overhaul. The company who owns the building is very environmentally conscious and was adhering to the standards of the LEEDS council. Dieter made sure that he worked around all of the pipes and ductwork in the large space and kept within the LEEDS guidelines. Dieter can handle all types of painting jobs, large or small, with impeccable attention to detail. Contact him to discuss any indoor or outdoor painting projects.
