Spring Home & Garden Guide • 2013 Page 3

By RICHARD WALKERKitsap Home & Garden

T here’s an old yarn, believed apocryphal, about a dissatisfied

and perhaps confused cus-tomer who returned tires he bought to the former site of a tire store and got a refund from the new occupant: Nordstrom’s.

Retailers have used the story, retold so many times it’s become truth, to empha-size their philosophy that the customer is always right.

Ray and Diane Donahue, owners of Peninsula Paint Co., have been working to develop their Benjamin Moore paint stores into the Nordstrom’s of the paint business.

Employees strive to understand each customer’s project before mixing the paint. Is there a drastic change in color? Do you need a primer? A matte fin-ish or eggshell finish? Are you painting interior walls or exterior siding? We want to engage our customers when educating them on choosing the right product for their project. If we need to open

a can of paint or stain and put a brush in the custom-ers hand to experience it, we don’t hesitate. After all “Presentation without dem-onstration is just conversa-tion,” Donahue said.

The Donahues brought sound business experience and knowledge of the paint industry to Peninsula Paint (www.peninsulapaintco.com) when they partnered with Winslow Paint Co. to buy the group of stores in Poulsbo, Port Townsend and Sequim in March 2004. They recently became owners of the Winslow location in June 2012 and appreciate the support that the Bainbridge community has shown them in the first few months of business on the island. All stores now have the Peninsula Paint name.

Ray Donahue had worked for a paint sundries company for 20 years and was lumber manager for Ernst Home Center. Diane Donahue was an accountant for Unico Properties, owner of office, residential and retail prop-erties in Washington and Oregon.

“It was a good fit because

we knew paint,” Ray Donahue said. “It’s a fun industry. It’s always chang-ing, there’s always some-thing new. And everything needs paint.”

The changes in paint have made it friendlier to the envi-ronment — and the senses. Most paints are now low- or no-VOC, the abbreviation for volatile organic compounds — organic chemicals that get into the air, as in odors or scents. Oil-based paints and related solvents are fast becoming a thing of the past, replaced by water-borne alkyds --- oil based paints requiring only soap and water cleanup.

“Nothing is the same as when we bought the store,” Donahue said. “Eighty to 90 percent of the paint we carry has changed.”

The customer benefits from the expertise and lon-gevity of Peninsula Paint’s employees. The Donahues feel they have a great team in place in all the stores. At the Poulsbo store, David Shelley brings a craftsman’s understanding to his role as master stain and paint matcher. “He’s finicky about his stains and finishes,” Donahue said. In his spare time, Shelley builds mando-lins and guitars.

Lindsay Smith is the master color matcher at the Winslow store. Also at the Winslow store, Melissa Bolt — a professional designer who also owns Bolt of

Inspiration — helps custom-ers make sure they’ve got the right color for the right project.

Peninsula Paint works closely with several local designers and have design areas in each of the stores to help with your color deci-sions.

Peninsula Paint believes in its product, particularly in quality and cost. Some Benjamin Moore paints (www.benjaminmoore.com) cost more per gallon than other brands. You really do get what you pay for in a gal-lon of paint — what may take 3 or 4 gallons of Benjamin Moore paint may take 6 or 7 gallons of a competitive brand. Benjamin Moore saves you time and money in the long run.

Peninsula Paint can make more than 3,000 colors avail-able in a pint size sample for you to see how a particular color will look throughout a room under various light-ing conditions. Samples are $6.99.

More changes are com-ing. Most Benjamin Moore stores are independently owned, but will soon be fol-lowing Benjamin Moore’s national signage and layout for continuity, branding and marketing purposes — in

the same way that inde-pendently owned grocers that take on Red Apple or IGA brands. The signature program will ensure that all stores are identified as Benjamin Moore dealers and that they are consistent in the core products they carry.

Today, Peninsula Paint employs 15 — six in Poulsbo, six in Winslow and three in Port Townsend. (The Sequim store closed in November 2011.)

When they’re not at the store, the Donahues enjoy golfing and bike riding — they pedaled in the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic in 2010 and 2011. They have two daughters: Michelle Donahue, fastpitch coach at Kingston High School; and Kerri Willtrout, who lives with her Marine husband in Twentynine Palms, Calif.

Ray and Diane Donahue also like to support local efforts, donating paint for such projects as the com-munity pool, Coffee Oasis, the downtown Viking mural, Kvelstad Pavilion, Poulsbo Marine Science Center, Raab Park, school auctions, and Windermere Real Estate’s annual cleanups.

“We’re a small indepen-dent business, so we support ‘Shop Local,’ ” Donahue said. “Whether we need lumber or coffee for the office or doughnuts for customers every Friday morning, we do everything we can to utilize local businesses.”

It started off as a summer project.

Oliver Hanley, founder of Hanley Construction, was a teacher at Orchard Heights Elementary School for near-ly 25 years. In the late 1970s, he began purchasing and remodeling houses during the summer months.

There was just one problem — he could not find a reliable roofer. That was the genesis of Hanley Construction, Inc., which was established in 1980.

By 1985 Oliver had recruited his son, Morgan, to work alongside him. This is where Morgan’s roofing education began.

“We roof every house like we would our own,” said Morgan, who joined the company full time after graduating with a business degree from Washington State University in 2000.

Hanley Construction has seen significant growth and currently employs almost 40 people. This growth is a direct result of consistently providing superior quality products and services.

“We are blessed with a talented team,” Morgan said. All staff at Hanley Construction are full-time employees. The com-pany does not hire seasonal employees nor does it pay its employees on a production-based pay scale, aka piece

work. “We can guarantee quality

when we allow our team to take the necessary time to make sure everything is first class,” Morgan said. “We focus on providing the high-est quality roof for the best value.”

Hanley Construction offers hand-nailed installa-tions, lifetime workmanship warranties, and lifetime-warrantied roofs for flat and

sloped roofs.Hanley Construction has

received many awards and,

in 2012, was voted “Best of West Sound” for roofing contractors. The company

was ranked top 10 in North America by CertainTeed, who is one of the largest manufacturers of building materials in the world.

Hanley Construction, which is headquartered in Port Orchard, focuses on all types of roofing projects, small and large, residential and commercial. Its service area covers the entire Kitsap Peninsula, from the Narrows Bridge to the Hood Canal

Bridge and beyond.In addition to roof installa-

tions, Hanley Construction has a repair, maintenance and cleaning division.

“We have very experi-enced and skilled repair technicians that can handle all types of roof repairs,” Morgan said.

Hanley Construction also has maintenance programs where clients can have their roof and gutters cleaned on a routine basis.

“By having a repair, main-tenance and cleaning divi-sion, Hanley Construction is truly a full-service roofing company,” Morgan said.

If you are in need of a new roof, a repair, inspection or even just a gutter cleaning, call Hanley Construction for a free estimate at (888) 834-5015.

“We focus on educating our clients during the esti-mating process because we feel an informed client will make the best decision for their home.”

Voted the best of the region’s roofers

marketplace.Bainbridge Gardens,

Bainbridge Island Ace Hardware, and Fairbank Construction are event sponsors.

According to the Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce, the show is for local and area residents “interested in new home development ideas, home improvement projects, home decorating, landscaping and gardening, etc.” Last year’s event attracted 800 to 1,000 people.

Mickey Molnaire, the chamber’s tourism director and visitors center manager, said the name of the expo — it was called a Home & Garden Show last year — was changed to reflect the diversity of participat-ing businesses. Another big change: There will be no guest speaker this year, which frees up the stage for more vendors.

There will be approxi-mately 80 booths at the expo. Fairbank Construction will provide free doughnuts and coffee. J’aime le Crepes

of Kingston will sell crepes. There will be guest Wi-Fi.

“From gardens to health care,” Molnaire said of the participating businesses. “We’ll have an exhibitor who makes incredible garden sculptures out of found materials; he made an owl out of horseshoes. Another exhibitor has developed a special technique for build-ing decks.”

Molnaire said the event has been beneficial for con-sumers and vendors. “They tell us all they have to do is get one or two clients out of it and they’re happy,” she said of participating busi-nesses. “And it’s good for them because they get to talk to other businesses they can recommend. It’s useful to them as a networking tool.

MEGAN STEPHENSONKitsap Home & Garden

A s our population ages, many are struggling to find

a solution to where they should live based on their physical and medi-cal needs.

Architect Aaron Murphy wants you to be able to stay in your home as long as possible. Murphy, owner of ADM Architects in Poulsbo, offers Aging-in-Place con-sulting and remod-eling design to make homes more age-friendly.

“It’s way more than just a contractor and a grab bar,”

Murphy said. Murphy cited an AARP

poll that found 89 percent of older adults want to stay in their homes as they age. He is a certified Aging-in-Place specialist and has designed more than 10 Aging-in-Place

homes in the last three years, includ-ing two built from the ground up.

Aging in Place is the concept that you can and should be able to stay in your residence for the remainder of your life, regard-less of physical,

cognitive or other changes that may occur with age, according to Murphy.

“Beyond [being] a

licensed architect, [the certi-fication is] the extra mile that really allows me to focus on the residential side, through helping baby boomers and their families stay in their homes,” Murphy said.

He said the time to act is when you are still healthy and can afford a remodel. For example, a bathroom and kitchen remodel plus an elevator costs approximately $150,000, according to Murphy. But a couple could save more than $30,000 a year by remodeling and staying in their home for an additional 10 years before moving into an assisted liv-ing facility. He said moving into assisted living is “not a question of if, but when.”

Architect pushes for home designs that help occupants age-in-place

See aging, Page 10

Aaron Murphy

Sentinel Construction is another local business that offers Aging-in-Place consult-ing. Owner David Godbolt said in a previous interview that he aims to create acces-sible designs that make life comfortable without the “hospital look” of traditional handicapped-accessible con-struction.

“Whenever you can have architecture that doesn’t look like a hospital room, you are

way better off,” Godbolt said. “People are more inclined to use it and appreciate it.”

The first time Sentinel had a booth at a home show, Godbolt displayed safety products and grab bars, but realized those with physical challenges don’t want to be reminded of them.

“It was amazing that those who would need the prod-ucts the most — those using walkers or canes — ignored the booth and charged away as quickly as they could,” Godbolt said.

Aging-in-Place ameni-

ties aren’t just for older people. Murphy said he once worked with a contrac-tor to remodel a house for a father and son who both became wheelchair-bound following a motorcycle accident. While testifying to the Poulsbo City Council, Murphy said the father cried when he was able to use the new, lower sink in his new bathroom. Other people with physical challenges benefit from these features in their homes.

Murphy said he has cre-ated a design team of con-tractors, financial planners, and in-home occupational therapists to ensure clients’ homes have the features that are needed so they can age in place.

But Murphy said he wants developers to go a step further, by designing new homes to be handicapped-accessible. He said there isn’t much of a cost dif-ference for a developer to include Aging-in-Place features during construction, rather than being added later at an additional cost to the homeowner. As examples, he cited doorway frames that can be widened at a later date (for wheelchair acces-sibility); making sure at least one entrance is on-grade (meaning no steps); lower light switches, outlets and racks in cabinets that can be pulled lower.

Murphy shared his thoughts with Poulsbo’s planning director, Barry Berezowsky, who liked his

ideas. The city recently final-ized an update to its zoning code and left a “placeholder” to include possible incentives for more handicapped-acces-

sible development. Murphy said he and Berezowsky will spend time educating build-ers about including Aging-in-Place features in future

development.“The next buy-

ers are thinking about accessibility more than ever before,” he said.

Maintaining the per-fect lawn is easier than you think and,

with the right tools, you can be both efficient with your yard work and eco-conscious.

If it’s lush green turf that you’re after, but you also care about your carbon foot-print, there are a few tools and practices that can help you have it both ways — and save you money and time.

n Give back to your lawn. One of the best treat-ments for your yard is to let a layer of lawn clippings settle on the top of your turf after mowing. The clippings decompose and replenish your soil, encouraging posi-tive growth. A common mis-conception is that leaving the clippings on top of your lawn leads to the development of thatch, when in fact it’s usu-ally caused by other condi-tions. Leaving your clippings only helps your lawn, and lessens the amount of work you have to do.

n Go green with battery-powered mowers and lawn tools. Your mower’s gas engine doesn’t run near-ly as clean as your thorough-ly engineered car engine and contributes significantly to air pollution, accord-ing to the Environmental Protection Agency. If you make the switch to a battery-powered mower, you can start it easily every time without having to worry about polluting the air.

Battery-powered mowers provide the performance of

a gas mower with up to 70 minutes of run time.

n Be wise with your water. With a few strategic adjustments, you can signifi-cantly reduce the amount of water you use to keep your lawn healthy. Water less fre-quently with a good soaking each time; the water you use will go further. Watering in the morning will also help your lawn soak up the water, rather than having it evapo-rate before it makes it into your soil.

Installing a rain barrel is also a great way to reuse the water that runs off your house without ever having to turn on the spigot.

n Buy a discerning fer-tilizer. Chemical fertilizers might offer quick results, but organic fertilizers often provide more staying power as they focus more on improving soil quality rather than the quick fix of apply-

ing nutrients directly to the plant. To make sure you are effective with your fertilizer use, take a soil sample to a local garden store to analyze it and they'll recommend the best fertilizing mix for your lawn.

n Allow your lawn to protect itself. Mowing too short is a key mistake many people make. A good rule of thumb is to never cut more than one-third of the cur-rent height. This will ensure that your grass can develop deep enough roots to thrive and won’t get scorched when summer temperatures arrive.

You can have a beautiful, green lawn without putting extra stress on the environ-ment. For more information on environmentally friendly lawn tools that offer gas-comparable performance, visit your local hardware or lawn care store.

Keep your lawn looking great and enviro-friendly

Ahh, the lush life. Help keep your lawn green and healthy by never cutting more than one-third of the current height. Brandpoint Media
