A New Year, A New Name!

Dear cherished friends, fans, and clients,

If you haven’t been keeping up with us on Facebook, you may not know that we’ve changed our business name!

We are now officially Castleford Builders, and we are THRILLED with the positive responses we’ve been getting to our new name!

We also welcome aboard Jerry Coffey, master carpenter and construction supervisor. We’ve subcontracted work to Jerry for quite a long time, so many of you already know him.  Jerry is superb, and we are very fortunate to have snagged him as our full-on business partner. Now we have to keep him busy, so please keep those referrals coming!

You know what we love to do:  kitchen and bath remodels, home additions, new home construction, and commercial fit-outs. And let’s give Jerry some “built-ins” projects so he can wield his awesome carpentry skills!

We are so thankful for all of you – our wonderful, thoughtful clients and friends who made our business successful last year. Jerry, Jimi and I wish you a blessed, joyful, bountiful 2012!

Yours truly,

Alexandra “The Lady Contractor”

Happy Valentine’s Tree!

Turning a disaster into a new tradition! My Christmas tree fell over on Christmas night, and I had just gotten it decorated 4 days before.  Argh! It was quite a tangle of beads, lights and ornaments, and it was too much of a mess to rehang everything, so I packed all the ornaments away, but I couldn’t bear to take the tree itself down. I joked with my hubby that I was going to leave it up until Valentine’s Day and decorate it with paper hearts. Well, he thought that was a swell idea, and so did my friends, so here it is: My Valentine’s Tree! (Hmmm…March is coming up…is there a St. Patrick’s Tree in my future?)

P.S. If you’re wondering what’s up with my walls – we are rehabbing a 90-year-old house. The walls are the original plaster, sadly in too bad a state to rescue and repair. We are replacing the plaster with sheetrock room by room. Haven’t gotten to the family room yet.
