* OUR LATEST COMPLETED PROJECTS * 

	Transformations This lakefront home did inherit an additional floor while keeping the same footprint. But the real story is not the additional space. View 100 photographs of this óóóóó ½ Energy Star rated green home.
	South Salem Kitchen This spacious Arts & Crafts kitchen is one of the many features of the Transformations project mentioned above...
	Mastering The Master Bath This relatively small master bath with a vaulted ceiling certainly packs a lot of punch, but it is only a tiny part of a larger, complete green house rebuilding Transformations project,  which includes three additional bathrooms...  View them all!
	Home Theatre, Gym, Bar & Play Area Also part of the Transformations project
	Greenwich Lower Level Let the pictures speak for themselves.

Join Us For An Anniversary Celebration

It Was 10 years Ago Already...  Our Web Site - The First Decade!

Without our web site and without you, we would simply not be here…  So we, at Absolute Remodeling, thought we would seize this opportunity to show our clients and distinctive homeowners our appreciation for their business, and celebrate with all of you.

If you have already receive an invite, you know when and where.  We certainly are looking forward to see you!  And it is NOT too late to RSVP...

Model Your World By Google

Developed for the conceptual stages of design, Google SketchUp is a powerful yet easy-to-learn 3D software tool that combines a simple, yet robust tool-set with an intelligent drawing system that streamlines and simplifies 3D design.  From simple to complex, conceptual to realistic, Google SketchUp enables you to build and modify 3D models quickly and easily.  Are you remodeling a kitchen, landscaping your back yard or adding a deck to your home?  Google SketchUp makes it faster, easier and a lot more fun.

A Great Analogy...

"Having your home renovated is like giving birth."
Follow along with the analogy, and see if you agree.  This is an article for the trade people by the trade people.  It also comes with a "disclaimer" for our ladies...
But the moral is:  Keep reminding our clients that their remodeling project - just like pregnancy - is a process.  It’s a process that unfortunately has some pain to it.
I am confident that several - no, most - of our clients (including men) will agree with this one...

* HAVE A $100 DINNER ON US

Are you aware that your recently completed project became "Our Working Showroom"* and you have become "Our Best Salesperson"?

When your support results into a signed project with us, we will show our gratitude to those who recommend us and to those of you who open their doors to let one of our prospective customers see "the Working Showroom"*.

We'll send you to dinner at one of Westchester's premiere restaurants, Peter Pratt's Inn, on us! (A $100 value.  Good for a la carte dining, Tuesdays to Sundays).

Peter Pratt's Inn was recently awarded a four star rating by Gerry Dawes, a writer for The Journal News.  You can find out more by visiting the web site, Peter Pratt's Inn.com.  You'll be able to review the menu and wine list, and even get directions. We recommend printing the map.

Bon Appetit!

*What WE call a "Working Showroom" is an actual, real, functional project (i.e.: kitchen, bathroom) that has been built around existing conditions, restrictions and obstructions, as opposed to those setup showrooms found in retailer's displays where the only limitation is the designer's imagination!
