Answered by: Emerald Valley Construction & Consulting on May 17
Q: What kind of construction do you guys do? Is it just kitchens and bathrooms?
show answer...A: close answer...As a general contracting company we do everything from the ground up when it comes to home remodeling. We specialize in being flexible to customers needs and give our customers the satisfaction that they are working with an honest professional. We don’t restrict ourselves to only kitchens and bathrooms, though these are the two areas we specialize in customizing. With our level of experience there isn’t a project we haven’t been involved in, which allows us to help with everyday repairs that may come up around the house as well. -

Senior Living

Q: Is living in an Independent Retirement community affordable and what do I get for the price?
show answer...A: close answer...In an ideal world, retirees have their homes paid for without the hassle of a mortgage however more often than not, people have taken out a second sometimes even a third mortgage on their home and struggling to pay a mortgage payment each month which averages $800 per month. Your car may or may not be paid for and assuming it isn’t, you have another $300 car payment each month. The average utilities bill (water and electric) is $300 per month. The average couple spends a minimum of $500 per month on groceries. Add to this a cable television bill of $15-$30 per month, garbage bill of $15 per month, and before long you can easily be spending $2000 per month to live in your home. In addition to the expense, you must consider the time you have to spend maintaining the home. From minor repairs, to mowing and lawn care, to major projects like repairing or replacing a roof, in a years time, you can easily have another $1000 worth of time and work to accomplish which prevents you from going out and doing the things you ought to be doing during your retirement, like playing a round of golf or visiting some of the areas historic sites and museums.
Our average apartment cost is $1600 and that includes everything. What is everything? Everything is: water, electric, garbage disposal, cable television, 3 fully prepared meals per day, everyday, transportation into town for shopping and appointments, an active events calendar which includes live entertainment, field trips, dining and social outings as well as historic tours, well maintained building and picturesque landscaping and lawn maintenance, social interaction, free laundry facility, pets are welcome and your own vehicle is welcome as well, with private parking and management on duty 24 hours a day to ensure you are safe and secure.
When you get right down to it, Independent Living at the Regent just makes good sense.
