Building Hope for the Homeless with HomeAid Atlanta
Posted by: | Comments
Atlanta-based Construction Resources, Inc. has been a proud supporter of HomeAid Atlanta for many years. The company has been involved with several of HomeAid’s transitional housing projects in the metro Atlanta area and has also participated in two of HomeAid’s annual fundraising events, Project Playhouse® and the Fairway to Haven® Golf Classic.
In 2006, Construction Resources joined hands with HomeAid Atlanta and builder captain John Willis Homes to construct the Community Advanced Practice Nurses facility, a health clinic providing physical, mental and preventive healthcare to homeless and economically disadvantaged Atlantans. Construction Resources generously provided sinks and countertops for this project.
A year later, in 2007, Construction Resources again partnered with HomeAid Atlanta on another project led by John Willis Homes. This project involved the renovation of a townhome for HomeStretch in Roswell, a program serving homeless families in the North Fulton area. Construction Resources was a key trade partner for the project, helping to successfully complete the renovation by providing cultured marble vanity tops, mirrors and wire shelving for the townhome unit.
The company also participated in a Cherokee County project in 2008 Read More→
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Posted by: | Comments
Bob Schoen and seven others from Florida Bath & Surfaces, Inc. joined hundreds of volunteers to build a home for a couple who adopted six special needs children from China.
The company created kitchen and bathroom countertops for the new home earlier this year for “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”
Florida Bath & Surfaces spent just five hours early one morning installing countertops fabricated from designer renderings. This process usually takes about 10 days!
According to Schoen, President, “It was definitely a little more difficult, but there was total cooperation. We had 50 to 60 people in the house at once and everyone was pitching in. We knew it was a good thing.”
The Cambria quartz kitchen countertops and LivingStone bathroom countertops installed in the home are valued at $12,000. Cambria and LivingStone donated their materials and Florida Bath & Surfaces donated their time. Read More→

An August 1st article in the San Antonio Express-News profiled Joan Hall, a 75-year-old retiree looking to update her kitchen. She initially planned to just replace her old laminate countertops, which she described as “stained, chipped and ugly;” but work on her countertops led to a few other improvements, including a new kitchen sink.
According to the article, Hall researched for a couple of months.’ At her local Lowe’s hardware store, Hall found a new countertop material made of recycled glass and porcelain, ECO by Cosentino, a 75 percent recycled material bound together with corn-oil resin.
Hall, who considers herself an environmentalist, concerned about energy consumption and her carbon footprint, decided ECO was the perfect choice for her.
The material is available in 10 colors and is stain resistant, scuff resistant and easy to maintain without requiring special cleaning products. Some combine Read More→
