C.A. Stevens Builders, a leading home building and remodeling company based in Homer Glen, Illinois, is celebrating 26 years of quality service to the residents of Illinois. Established in 1988, C.A. Stevens Builders has always operated on the principle that quality work at a competitive price will keep them in business, a principle that is as important to this company today as it was the first day of business. C.A. Stevens Builders is well-known for providing beautiful home and remodeing designs, exceptional quality work, super competitive pricing and top notch customer service. They believe in the importance of not only meeting the expectations of their customers, but exceeding it each and every time. And it is because of this dedication to quality and service that C.A.

The owner of C.A. Stevens Builders, Chuck Stevens, credits their success to employing quality employees who have extensive experience. They offer a variety of services such as bathroom renovations, room additions and extensions, kitchen remodeling and custom home building with complete design services. They employ a high level of quality control, accountability and have intentionally kept their business small in order to provide their customers with the highest level of quality and attention to detail. "We've built our reputation on giving our customers more than they ask for. We work with our customers to ensure they are satisified with the results of their project. Rather than trying to build a huge company that services a huge geographical area and cut corners, we have focused our efforts on giving quality service to the city that has given so much to us."

On the market: Antique touches

When Michael and Giselle Smolikiewicz noticed a large crack in the ceiling of their master bedroom, they patched and painted it, thinking the problem would go away.

But two years later, a new crack surfaced. Small droplets of water suggested the roof may be be leaking.

Thats when I said, We have to call someone and really look at that roof, said Giselle.

As it turned out, a leaky roof wasnt to blame. The culprit was a faulty spray foam insulation job, completed in 2005, which cut off air flow through the soffit, creating excess condensation.

When Ryan Belo peeked into the attic, he saw mounds upon mounds of spray foam installed improperly on the south side of the east Mountain home. The north side appeared to have the spray foam product properly installed.

To correct the problem, Belo and employees from his Stoney Creek construction firm, Triple R Inc., spent days removing the spray foam from the homes south side and installing a new wool-based, flame retardant insulation in its place. The labour-intensive job cost thousands of dollars, which could have been averted with a proper installation nine years earlier.

Belo hopes the couples story will serve as a cautionary tale for homeowners thinking about insulating their attics.

This situation was a bad installation, said Belo.

Belo said homeowners should secure a general building permit before going ahead with any spray foam installation. It may cost a few dollars in the short term, but in the Smolikiewiczs case, a permit could have saved thousands in repairs.

If you insulate your home, be sure to get a permit

Bigger than life: Jolley's massive 'Cycle' ready to be revealed at KMA

Jeffrey Beers International (JBI) has completed work on Ballpark Village, a multilevel sports and entertainment complex celebrating two popular St. Louis icons: the Cardinals baseball team and Budweiser beer. JBI found its design inspiration from Europes classic piazzas and town squares.

Anchoring the complex is Live! marketplace, featuring multiple bars, stores, and massive televisions broadcasting sporting events. On one side of the venue, the four-level Budweiser Tap House incorporates the beer brands color scheme of red, white, and gold, as well as a dark muted green, a signature color of Budweiser bottles before the 1940s. Designed with an early 1900s industrial aesthetic, the first floor features tabletops painted with different game boards and a brick wall adorned with painted vintage Budweiser ads.

Inspired by the Budweiser gold crown logo, the second floor offers a more upscale setting with barrel-style tufted booths, a backlit bar, and clusters of studded leather lounge seating. The third and fourth floors, along with the roof, provide direct views into the Cardinals stadium.

Flanking the other side of the marketplace is Cardinals Nation. Reminiscent of a baseball dugout, the first floor features a ceiling installation of LED lights emulating a baseballs red stitching. The bright red and yellow from the Cardinals logo play out in the restaurant, bar, hall of fame museum, and retail area.

The second floor dining area pays tribute to the Gashouse Gang, the Cardinals nickname from the mid-1930s and 1940s. The time period influences the design through a pressed tin ceiling, light pendants inspired by the Edison bulb, and leather dining seating. The third floor is dedicated to events, while the fourth floor offers additional stadium views.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) With furnaces having worked overtime this winter, many homeowners may be considering getting their air ducts cleaned. Target 8 discovered when its time to get them cleaned and when youre wasting your money.

Tim Vandentoorn of Rockford wanted to get his air ducts cleaned before he started up his new $5,000 furnace. He said he noticed the registers to the ducts were still off after the cleaners were done, so he got closer to put them back on.

When I went to put them back on, I looked down there and I saw cob webs and I was like, Wait a minute. We just had these cleaned, said Vandentoorn.

He lowered his cellphone down the registers and took photos that showed dust, cobwebs and debris.

Its terrible! Its beyond my comprehension how a company could do this and walk away and feel satisfied. Its just- Its not acceptable, said Vandentoorn.

Target 8 took his pictures to Grand Rapids Community College HVAC professor Don Steeby, who said it didnt look like the ducts had been cleaned properly.

Theres still dust laden on the bottom of the duct that shouldve been removed, said Steeby.

Steeby says its critical to do the research before hiring a cleaner. He suggests going with a company used and recommended by someone you know.

Vandentoorn went with L&N Carpet Cleaning in Grand Rapids because it was the company that had the earliest appointment available.
