			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, I have not written about the Bedford NH dormer for a few days because we are held up by the window delivery from Harvey Building Products.  They had some trouble with their manufacturing plant and delayed our window by one week.  The dormer is completely framed, sided and shingled.  The electrician (Evan Jones from Milford NH) and the plumber (John King from New Boston NH) have finished their rough installation.  Before we can insulate and drywall we must have the window installed before the Bedford Town Inspector will let us progress.  Jeremiah put plywood over the opening and tightly adhered plastic to keep the addition out of the elements.  Tomorrow they will keep busy by installing the sub floor in preparation for the tile bathroom floor.  There are some things you cannot prevent from slowing down your job.  The good news is we should have the awning window delivered no later than Wednesday of next week.</p>

<p>Keith and Jeremiah have been working hard to remove the existing roof and build the dormer on this Bedford NH house.  Right now we have the addition framed and the shingles are installed on the roof.  We are currently waiting for the window to be delivered by Harvey Industries, we are installing three awning windows mulled together to make one unit.  Next the siding will be installed and the interior walls will be built so the plumber and the electrician can rough in their portion.  Everything is looking great, can’t wait to see the siding and window in.</p>

<p>We are currently building a dormer (addition) in Bedford NH right now.  The Homeowner is interested in enlarging their bedroom living space and adding a master bathroom.  Increasing the living space to include a large oversized closet for the washer/dryer, oversized bathtub/shower, vanity and toilet.  Some would be surprised that we would build during the winter months but this year we are experiencing a very mild weather pattern.  It will take the team just 2 days to get the outside demolished, framed and weather tight and another two days to install the siding and the shingles.</p>

<p>Allen Remodeling is a family owned and operated business.  Keith has been involved in the building trade since he was in high school over 30 years ago, then subcontracting from local builders and then in 1993 started his own business.  Barbara joined Keith in 2000 as an Office Manager bringing customer service to an industry that is sometimes lacking in smaller contractor businesses.  Barbara is available by phone or email during the entire business day making sure the customer is aware and advised of all details of the building process.   Visit our <a href=" http://allenremodeling.com/testimonials/ "> testimonials </a> page to see why everyone enjoys working with Allen Remodeling.</p>
<p>A few select comments are</p>
<p> * Our experience with Keith and Barbara Allen was just the best. They are first rate in delivering top notch customer service as well as excellence in craftsmanship and attention to detail.<br />
 * We recently had our basement remodeled by Allen Remodeling and are extremely pleased with the outcome and the entire process.  Keith and his crew also did a great job moving the job forward in a timely and professional manner. At the end of each day it was nice to see the work area picked up and the job was completed on schedule! Our basement is better than ever expected due to the expertise of Allen Remodeling.<br />
 * I chose Allen Remodeling based on their reputation, Better Business Bureau Accreditation with A+ rating and a fair price.  Overall I’m thrilled with the transformation and recommend anyone in the market for a deck to take a closer look at Allen Remodeling. It’s not often enough you find a “front office” and “back office” that function as well, or as conveniently, as Keith and Barbara do.<br />
 * Allen Remodeling works as a great team!  Barbara provides exceptional customer service and prompt follow through, and Keith provides skilled and professional construction services.  He has a caring attitude and works hard to take the stress out of any home improvement project.  Keith’s attention to detail and vision give him the talent to take a designer’s plans and improve upon them. It was a joy to work with Barbara and Keith.  We enjoy living in our addition, and our kitchen remodel, and so appreciate all your help and hard work!”</p>
<p>If you are looking for an honest, reputable contracting company to build your next addition or remodel your basement, kitchen or bathroom or build a new deck give Barbara a call and she will set up an appointment for Keith to come to your home to discuss your project.</p>

<p>We finished a house in Amherst NH a few weeks ago, we ripped their old siding from the house and we installed new vinyl siding.  After we removed the siding we installed insulation board to give the house some additional protection against the elements and we also ensured that all cracks were chalked and no rotted wood was present.  After the siding was installed we used Azek (plastic) trim boards for the corners of the house and the window trim.  These are the hot spots where rotting can occur so by installing the Azek boards the Homeowner can be assured that they are protected.<br />
This particular customer also had us replace all their old drafty windows with new energy efficient <a href=" http://harveybp.com/product.aspx?pid=12&#038;shape=2"> Harvey Industry</a>replacement windows as they meet and exceed the governments standards for glass efficiency.<br />
If you are looking for a Contractor (Builder) in the Southern NH area (covering Milford, Amherst, Bedford, Nashua, Merrimack, Mont Vernon, New Boston, Goffstown, Brookline, Wilton and Temple) who will provide you with best customer service and quality work around then give us (<a href="http://www.allenremodeling.com "> Allen Remodeling</a>) a call.</p>

<p>Construction is interesting sometimes how Homeowners needs shift in cycles.  This summer we built over 10 brand new decks in Milford NH, Amherst NH, Bedford NH and Merrimack NH.  This fall we have provided 5 estimates to Homeowners for building a dormer addition onto their home, all are to add a bathroom to their second story.  Adding a dormer to a home is an easy way to add space without changing the foot print of the home.</p>
<p>According to Wikipedia online they define a dormer as &#8220;a structural element of a building that protrudes from the plane of a sloping roof surface. Dormers are used, either in original construction or as later additions, to create usable space in the roof of a building by adding headroom and usually also by enabling addition of windows&#8221;.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a reasonable way to add space to your home by avoiding putting a foundation in the ground think of adding a dormer to your home. Call <a href="http://www.allenremodeling.com "> Allen Remodeling</a> today and we will provide you with a free consultation and estimate.</p>

We used Azek Decking for the deck of the porch, <a href="http://www.azek.com "> Azek </a> trim boards for the stair risers and corner boards, Azek posts and railings to finish everything up.  The entire front porch is maintenance free made of PVC materials and will never need to be painted or stained.  The easiest way to clean is by pressure washing once a year.  It is amazing how a front porch can dress up the appearance of your home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most homes now have power restored from the Snowtober storm.  We personally lost power from Saturday to Thursday but thankfully we had a generator.   There unfortunately is a big &#8220;But&#8221;, on Monday night our generator died and we had to search for a new generator, lucky we found one in Rochester NH.  Setting it up, Keith realized that our plug was a three prong and the generator was a four prong, we checked all the local electrical stores, County stores, Lowes and Home Depot and they were all sold out.  Thankfully we have a great electrician that came to our house with the correct plug to install our brand new generator.  A big shout out to Evan Jones, Master Electrician of Milford NH, you saved us my friend.  Anyone who needs a great electrician give Evan Jones a call.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The best recommendation I can provide when selecting a Building Contractor to work on your home is to check with the NH Better Business Bureau <a href=" http://concord.bbb.org "> website</a>.  A customer from Bedford NH called me yesterday needing a Builder because their previous Contractor took their deposit, started the job and then never showed back up after several weeks and many phone call attempts.  This Homeowner realized they needed to call a qualified Contractor so they checked on the BBB website and found out the Contractor they had originally hired had an &#8216;F+&#8217; rating.  When they searched for a new local builder they stumbled upon <a href="http://www.allenremodeling.com "> Allen Remodeling</a>, took a look at our web site and gave us a call.  Keith walked through the entire job with them, called and met with the Bedford Building Inspector and meet with <a href=" http://www.unclehildes.com/"> Uncle Hilde’s Lumber Outlet</a> where the Homeowner picked out all of their building materials.  I am happy to report this Homeowner will have Allen Remodeling build them a new sunroom that will be built to support a Jacuzzi.</p>
