Kitchens come in all shapes and sizes. Maximizing space and efficiency are the biggest challenges and offer the greatest rewards. No matter how wonderful the rest of your home is, during the long, wet winters in Seattle, guests tend to hang out in the kitchen. It’s important to have a floor plan that makes it fun and enjoyable for not only the guests, but the chefs as well. How frustrating to have people chatting away in your work space while you’re putting the finishing touches into the meal! We’ve installed everything from kitchen islands, large countertops, separate knooks and open floor plans to accomodate the entertainment style of our clients. I’d love to help you layout a kitchen that allows for great entertaining and cooking. Please give me a call at 425-313-1813 or email me at kallen@acs-allen.com for suggestions!

Seattle Remodeler - Kitchens
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009Swine flu - one more reason for a Seattle Remodel!
Friday, May 1st, 2009I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that I’m being given a message loud and clear - Stay home! This is a great opportunity to create a more inviting, fabulous entertaining and relaxing retreat right in your own home. Instead of traveling away from Seattle, now’s the time to tackle the home improvement projects and remodel rooms that you’ve put off. Is your kitchen ready for a makeover? How about your bathroom or basement? Are they ready for a remodel?
Let’s face it - getting away can be a lot of fun - but it often has a lot of chaos and headache that goes along with it. And with Swine flu - there’re added risks. So, why not stay home, relax and enjoy yourself and family. A few tweaks on your already loved home will bring your vacation to you without all of the risks. Consider including some of the luxuries that destination vacation spots offer. Have you thought about adding towel warmers to your soon to be newly remodeled bathroom? Heated flooring, multiple shower heads, music throughout the house, granite countertops, the list is endless of the many ways that you can bring your vacations to your home. Tantalize every sense - fill your kitchen with your favorite foods, set the table with your fine china, bring the spring flowers inside and inhale their wonderful aromas. Create an outside dining room or retreat with a water feature and decorative lighting, teach your children to make umbrella drinks. They can deliver them to you pool side (you do have an inflatable pool for your yard don’t you?)
Allen Construction Services, Inc. doesn’t teach cocktail making, but we do remodel, build and create value for our clients. We have helped many local families (Seattle, Bellevue, Issaquah, Kent, Renton, Redmond and more) remodel their homes - kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, decks, patios, new additions, basements and more. We’ve helped transform houses into homes that are great places to live and love.
Fall in love with your home again so it lures you in and makes you want to be there.
Give Allen Construction Services, Inc. a call to see how we can help you vacation at home - without sacrificing! Send me an email with some of the fun home improvement projects you’ve tackled.
Call me or email with any questions! Looking forward to helping you vacation at home,

Happy Earth Day - Remodel Seattle!
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009A look back over the last 50 years and it’s noticeable that we, as a society, have evolved in our efforts to preserve planet Earth. The construction industry continues to introduce new technologies and innovations to go “Greener”. In many cases, the cost to go green is still more than standard practices. Why is that? Do we get real answers when we ask, “Why?” I did. I recently visited Ecohaus in Bellevue and asked candid questions about the products and I got candid answers. I was asking about the catch phrase, “carbon footprint” of transporting exotic woods vs. using manufactured woods, why one stain that was 300% more expensive than the traditional was better for the environment, and many other Q&A. The bottom line is this - it’s my responsibility and yours to ask the questions and to make decisions that are right for each unique situation and individual. What is “Green” for one person, will not be for others. Awareness is the key - asking the questions that are meaningful to you and making the purchases that support your values.
At Allen Construction Services, Inc. we take the time to find out why our clients want to have their kitchen remodeled, the deck enlarged, the patio resurfaced, the bathroom renovated. In the Northwest, our clients are particularly aware of “green” remodeling. But, there are many shades to green and we try to find the right one for our clients.
Seattle homeowners choose to live in an area that is surrounded with nature - from the waters of Elliott Bay and Pacific Ocean, to the Cascade Mountain range - beauty and nature are luscious and ready to be explored. We look for ways to live with consistent values that include preserving that which brings us so much joy - the environment and our homes.
If you would like to find out more about Green Remodeling in Seattle and neighboring areas, please give me a call. Or - just send a comment to me requesting a copy of our free newsletter! I look forward to hearing from you. Kelly Allen, 425-313-1813. Kallen@acs-allen.com
Bellevue Remodel
Monday, February 9th, 2009Remodeling is all about finding a solution to a problem. The bathroom may be too old, the kitchen too small, the deck too weathered, the basement unfinished. Whatever the problem, Allen Construction Services, Inc. offers solutions. If it weren’t for problems, we wouldn’t have a job!
In Bellevue, one of our clients completed a full house renovation - kitchen remodel, bath remodel, new entry way, pergola, covered deck area, and new addition. The house is in Somerset, with a spectacular view, massive windows, and full sun exposure (when we have it!). Air conditioning didn’t seem practical to the homeowner for the few days a year that it gets hot here in the Pacific NW. In order to maximize air flow and keep the house cool even when temperatures are high, we installed a pretty trick opening skylight system down the length of their hallway (approx 15′ long). This has made a huge impact for the family - making their house comfortable on those warm days of summer.
