Milwaukee, WI – May 9, 2011 – Paul Davis Restoration & Remodeling of Southeast Wisconsin will donate time, labor and materials during the company’s annual Paul Davis Restoring America community service project beginning on Friday, May 13 at 8:00 a.m. and has a construction schedule spanning over the next few weeks. Paul Davis Restoration & Remodeling along with local businesses and vendors will remodel Dan and Amy De Matthew’s kitchen at 3618 Poe Avenue in Racine. The project is designed to help Dan who suffers with a spinal injury that he sustained in 2009 from a bicycle accident. The injuries resulted in quadriplegia and a significant loss of feeling in his arms and legs. Dan may regain some use of his arms and legs through therapy, however he is currently confined to a motorized wheelchair and crutches.
The Paul Davis project will provide the De Matthew’s with an updated kitchen that is easier for Dan to navigate. The project will also have a sustainability theme with recycled cabinetry going into the new kitchen, reuse of stone countertops and donating existing cabinets to Habitat Restore in Racine. Paul Davis will also incorporate other sustainable materials and construction practices.
According to Jayme Lippe, Paul Davis’ Remodeling Manager, the project scope will include demolition of the kitchen and removal of cabinets, counters, flooring and preparation for installation and construction work. Each year, the Paul Davis office provides help for those in need through its Restoring America program, an annual home improvement initiative designed to help those who cannot afford or are physically unable to fix up their homes.
“Paul Davis Restoration & Remodeling of Southeast Wisconsin participates in ‘Restoring America’, because we truly believe we can make a difference in the quality of a person’s life by making much-needed home repairs,” said Meg Boyle, Paul Davis’ Vice President and CFO. “Once we identified the Racine family as our recipients, we received commitments of labor and materials from our valued vendors and trades people. They were all ready to help,” she said.
