Find true year-round comfort with a Four Seasons sunroom — the fastest way to add living space and value to your home. Available in a wide variety of styles, Four Seasons sunrooms can be installed virtually anywhere. Four Seasons uses Conservaglass™ to keep the comfort in and the heat or cold outside. Conservaglass uses eight glass coatings, allowing homeowners to heat and cool their Four Seasons sunroom. Plus, it comes with a 20-year transferable warranty. All patio covers or enclosures from American Home Improvement are custom-made to fit your home and your wishes. American Home Improvement’s experts can install them in just a few days.

Landscaping with hard surfaces (hardscaping) lets you combine architectural stones, crushed granite pathways, boulders, stone walls or stone bridges with native plants in order to create a water-wise yard. “We can make your landscaping full of plants that bloom almost all year long. Just because we live in a desert does not mean that you have to have moonscaping, or a lot of rocks in your backyard,” said Rodney Martin, owner of American Home Improvement.

If you are looking for a way to impress during the upcoming holidays, call American Home Improvement now and set up an appointment with one of their designers to see just how beautiful and efficient your outdoor and patio area can be.

Re-Bath makes it easy to redo your old stained, chipped tub and its surrounding tile. Bath re-dos usually take one day, and tub-to-shower conversions are usually ready for you to enjoy in just a couple of days with little interruption of your busy schedule.
The best part is that Re-Bath at American Home Improvement offers you convenience and safety plus a wide selection of colors and patterns made to simulate slate, marble, travertine, granite and classic tile.

One way to get a quick idea of what your bath will look like is to go to www.rebath.com and click on Design Your New Bathroom. Click through the simple menu to compare an amazing number of simulated tile or stone choices; then pick colors and accessories such as soap dishes or towel racks. Remember, you’re in charge, so you can take your time and change your selections as many times as you like.

Once you’ve noted your preferences, call or stop in at American Home Improvement’s Re-Bath showroom. Their representative will come to your home, carefully measure the room and answer any questions you have. In a few weeks, your ready-to-install tub or shower will arrive along with your other selections.

Remember, Re-Bath is the one for a wide selection of cool, soothing or warm, snuggly colors and for the website that lets you try them out.

Re-Bath offers a long-term solution to your bath situation. With proper care Re-Bath’s DuraBathSSP™ finish will keep its high-gloss beauty indefinitely. It won’t fade, rust, chip, peel or dent, and because it’s DuraBathSSP™ rather than stone, it does not need re-grouting. Because Re-Bath products are non-porous, they can be cleaned easily with normal household cleaners.

Re-Bath systems are engineered to go right over your existing tub or wall-surround, which is why they can finish your bath so quickly. Changing from tub to shower takes an extra day or so, but it’s still much easier and faster than traditional methods of tearing out and laying tile or stones. And since the shower base is one piece, you never have to worry about a pan leak.
Free yourself from that old, damaged tub and step into a beautiful new shower from Re-Bath!

At the same time, with the beating your window frames take from the strong West Texas winds and the hot West Texas sun, real wood window frames need plenty of tender, loving care and new paint, almost on a yearly basis.

American Home Improvement’s Rodney Martin is always on the lookout for top quality products to provide for Permian Basin homeowners. When he saw the real wood look of Infinity from Marvin windows, he was sold.

“Marvin has been a top quality window maker for years and years,” Martin said. “When I saw that these windows had a look that was different from most others, I knew people in this area would jump at the chance to have them installed in their homes.”

EverWood® is the name Marvin has given to the woodgrain finish featured in their Infinity windows. Finishes come in eight types of wood appearance, including maple, mahogany, rosewood, cherry, walnut and others. Now you can match just about any wood décor your home has! And, as with real wood, you can stain the frames to better match your existing woodwork.

Everwood is inorganic and completely moisture-resistant. Like vinyl replacement windows, Infinity windows will provide years of trouble-free operation and resistance to heat loss or gain, dust and other unwanted weather-related intrusions.

Infinity windows come in a variety of styles including the popular double-hung type, casement, bow, bay, slider and many others. If your dreams are bigger than windows, you’ll be glad to know that patio and French doors are also included in the Infinity from Marvin selection.

Martin invites you to stop by American Home Improvement, see their Marvin window and door display and ask whatever questions you have.

When you make your choice, your American Home Improvement representative will come to your home, carefully measure your existing windows and doors, and send those numbers to the Marvin factory. Shortly thereafter, your beautiful new windows will arrive at American Home Improvement, ready to brighten your day for years to come.

American Home Improvement crews take great care to clean their work area and leave your home just as they found it — except for the beautiful new look!

Call or stop by American Home Improvement this week and see how they can help you improve the way you live.

It’s no wonder—these fiberglass windows have all the insulating and durability properties of vinyl, with an added benefit: they can resemble real wood, and their frames are thinner.
“Fiberglass is stronger than vinyl and can be textured to look like wood,” Rodney points out. “It’s not replacing vinyl by any means, but it can be the perfect thing for someone who wants their windows to better fit in with their décor.”

Infinity windows can be painted to match or accentuate your color scheme, inside or out. If you want the classic grid look, Infinity’s strength of materials allows that grid to be on the outside of the glass, rather than between the panes—making that look much more real.

Besides the hard-to-tell-from-real-wood look, these windows come in a variety of colors, including stone white, sierra, cashmere, pebble gray, Bahama brown and bronze on the outside, and, for the inside, stone white, sierra and Everwood (the wood finish) are available. And you can paint these any color you want. There are also a number of hardware finishes.

“Someone with a home in Old Midland or with a newer home designed with a classic look will want Infinity windows because they complement that look so well,” Rodney explains.

Of course Infinity windows are available in the regular double-hung configuration, which tilt in for easy cleaning, but there’s so much more. Casement and awning windows, polygon windows, picture windows, bow or bay windows and sliding or swinging doors are also among your options.

Like other modern options, Infinity fiberglass windows offer great energy efficiency, with several glazing options to keep out the sun’s UV rays and heat. They are very durable, with a lifetime warranty on the frames and a 20-year warranty on the glass.

Infinity from Marvin windows are a premium product, designed for efficiency and durability—and especially for their ability to add beauty and value to your home for years and years to come.

“I have always wanted to offer my customers the best windows possible,” Rodney states, “and Infinity is right at the top of that list.”

But whether you’re a senior citizen or an Olympic athlete in training, you’ll find there’s nothing better for aching joints than a warm soak in a Re-Bath tub with therapeutic water jets.

Right now, Re-Bath of West Texas is offering a Senior Safety Discount of 15% (up to $400 off) on all safety products including walk-in tubs, showers, shower seats and grab bars.

“We sell both the Safety Tub brand and SanSpa Five Star, the Re-Bath brand,” said Heath Belcher, project manager for Re-Bath of West Texas. “All of our tubs have a built-in seat. Beyond basic soaking, you can have whirlpool jets, air-blowing jets or a combination of both.”

Walk-in tubs effectively combine safety and therapy.

“You can have the same whirlpool treatment at home that you might have at a workout center,” Belcher said. “It’s great for arthritis, blood flow and back pain problems. Plus, your kids and grandkids will love it.”

You can choose between an in-swing door with the Safety Tub and an out-swing door with SanSpa.

“With the in-swing door, the water keeps the door compressed. The out-swing door has a locking mechanism that you cannot open until you drain the water,” Belcher said.

A safety bar eases your way as you step in and out of the tub, and another one helps you to sit down and rise from the seat. The walk-in tubs have a high fill rate of 50 gallons in five minutes or less and a turn drain system that lets the water out quickly. A hand-held shower attachment lets you rinse off.

“Instead of having to fumble for a plug on a chain, you just turn the knob and the water drains out in less than two minutes,” Belcher said. “The tubs are acrylic with a steel or an aluminum frame. They can be cleaned with ordinary household cleaners, and they’re very durable. They won’t fade or crack over time.”

In addition to walk-in tubs, Re-Bath also installs shower systems with safety features including a wheelchair accessible shower base.

Stop in at the Re-Bath showroom on Highway 191 at FM 1788 near the airport and see the safety tub display. Note how the tub operates and ask questions of the friendly Re-Bath representative. After you make your choice, a Re-Bath representative will come to your home and carefully measure your bath, then send those numbers off to the factory, where they will make all the com ponents you’ve ordered to your specifications and send them to Re-Bath of West Texas. The installation is fast and easy because everything arrives at the design center ready to be put into place.

Here are just some of the services American Home Improvement offers to make the great outdoors more accessible to you:

Sunrooms, Pergolas and Decks

A sunroom is the fastest way to add living space, beauty and value to your home. Four Seasons sunrooms come in an amazing variety of styles and can be installed virtually anywhere. A pergola lets you keep that wide-open feel while you relax in the shade. All patio covers or enclosures such as screen rooms from American Home Improvement are custom-made to fit your home and your wishes. American Home Improvement’s experts can install them in just a few days.

Outdoor Kitchens

At American Home Improvement, you’ll discover Primo Grills & Smokers, among the very finest in outdoor grills. If you’ve dreamed of an outdoor kitchen, showroom manager and grilling expert Vincent Miles can show you everything you need in the way of cookers and accessories including rack extensions, baking stones for pizza, ash tools, rib racks, premium wood tables and cradles with stainless steel side tables.

Miles is especially excited about the new Fire Magic smoker with five racks and 1640 square inches of cooking space. The smoker uses lump charcoal and wood chips to smoke turkey, ham, chicken or whatever you want.

Le Spezié, American Home Improvement’s store within a store also has an impressive line of sauces, rubs and marinades to complement your cooking and help you get your grill on.

Firepits

American Home Improvement now offers Tejas Originals Natural Boulder Fire Features, one-of-a-kind decorative pieces that evoke the feeling of tranquility that only a campfire can.

Hand-carved from natural stone boulders, each firepit has its own unique character. Whether your landscape is xeriscape or traditional or something in between, a Natural Boulder Fire Feature is the perfect accessory to your outdoor room.

The firepit can be installed just about anywhere on your grounds. It runs on natural gas or propane, and it’s easy to ignite.

This is why so many families have asked Re-Bath to replace their slippery, standard bathtub with a walk-in safety tub. Outfitted with plenty of grab bars and with a comfortable seat, a walk-in tub sets the standard for bath safety.

A walk-in tub from Re-Bath can be outfitted with water jets for those who require aquatherapy—a feature that can save countless trips to a therapy center!

Because the Re-Bath folks are very concerned about senior safety, they offer a 15 percent discount on all safety products, including grab bars, seats, tub or shower to walk-in tub conversions and more. The discount is on the entire job, up to $400!

This way Mom, Dad or Aunt Sally can stay in their familiar home longer. They, and the rest of the family, will be much more at peace with their safety. Even for a caregiver, a safety tub is much better. A walk-in tub also makes it easier for a caregiver to keep your loved one safe and secure.

Tubs come in the most common standard sizes: 51”x30” and 51”x 26” to fit right into the old tub’s space. Heath says it usually takes about two weeks for an ordered tub to come from the factory, and it takes about two days for installation.

The drain can be either on the left side or on the right, and the door can open either left or right as well, to accom¬modate most plumbing and most bathroom arrangements. There is a lifetime warranty on the door gasket.

Re-Bath’s Heath Belcher says the average cost of a Re-Bath walk-in tub makes up for about 3-4 months of the cost of an assisted living facility. So if the tub gives you or your loved one even just a few more months at home, it has basically paid for itself. Wouldn’t it be so much better for everyone for that person to enjoy as much time at home as possible?

You’re sure to have questions—so call Heath or one of the other friendly staff at Re-Bath today, at 550-7224, and ask away. They will be glad to arrange a free home consultation that will include measuring your current tub and a cost estimate. Call today and get on the way to keeping your freedom that much longer.

Of course, we’re way more sophisticated these days, but we haven’t lost the thrill, fun, smell or flavor of food cooked over an open fire.

Right now, showroom manager and grilling expert Vincent Miles is excited about the Fire Magic smoker with five racks and 1640 square inches of cooking space.

“It’s new and it’s awesome,” Miles said. “The smoker uses lump charcoal and wood chips. It can smoke turkey, ham, chicken — whatever you need. If you cook a chicken, you’ll have to pull out the grill, because if you pull out the chicken, the legs will fall off. It’s so tender that you can actually cut it with a plastic utensil.”

Miles can also show you FireMagic and Primo ceramic barbecue grills along with numerous accessories including rack extensions, ash tools, rib racks, premium wood tables and cradles with stainless steel side tables.

“Pizza lovers will be drawn to the PizzaQue round or rectangular stones that let you bake crisp, tasty pizza right on the grill,” Miles said. “You can even add wood chips to give it that delicate smoked flavor.”

A stainless steel pizza rocker, or cutter, lets you slice pizza cleanly in half with one smooth motion. In addition, American Home Improvement offers Steven Raichlen stainless steel knives and skewers with Pakkawood handles.

“There’s even an extra-wide fish spatula that lets you pick the whole thing up cleanly with nothing hanging off the side,” Miles said. “We’ve also added a FireMagic four-piece stainless steel tool set with a spatula, fork, tongs and knife that’s really beautiful.”

Le Spezie, American Home Improvement’s store-within-a-store, just added 20 new seasonings to its extensive line of rubs, sauces and spices ranging from extremely hot to just-right sweet.

“I tried a sweet rub with ribs a couple of weeks ago, and it was really good,” Miles said.

Some of the names you’ll find on the shelves include Championship Barbecue Rub, Smokin’ Guns Barbecue Rub (a hot one by Rufus Teague), The Three Little Pigs Barbecue Rub, Kansas-City Style Rub, Plowboys Rub, Sweet Rub O’ Mine, Arthur Bryant’s Bone Suckin’ Sauce, Jack Stack Barbecue Rub and Sweet Spot Barbecue Rub.

To bring out that wonderful outdoor cooking smell and flavor, American Home Improvement offers an exceptionally wide variety of smoking chips. Think about using Jack Daniels wood chips, made from Jack Daniels oak aging barrels, to flavor your grilled short ribs. Or choose from other fragrant woods including cherry, pecan, maple, hickory, mesquite, apple or select gourmet wine-aged oak chips.

“We still offer the John Henry gift packs and the Perini Ranch Steak Rub and cookbooks. They make really popular gifts,” Miles said. “Come by and see us. Our staff will be happy to help you put together a gift basket.”

One way to improve the functionality and beauty of your bathroom is to convert that old damaged, chipped tub (which you seldom use) into a spacious new walk-in shower with safety features such as grab bars to increase your confidence.

Did you know that perfect grilling—every time—is possible, even for dads who enjoy it but don’t feel like professionals? Primo grills from American Home Improvement give you the controls you need to get the fire right, the temperature where you want it and the perfect charcoal flavor.

American Home Improvement’s grill expert, Vincent Miles, says you can’t beat Primo grills for tender, flavorful barbecue, grilled vegetables and even pizza! It starts with the ceramic unit itself—designed to spread heat evenly throughout the grill so everything cooks just the way you want it to.

Using specially-made Primo charcoal assures you of a great fire every time. Vincent says, “People tell me that the most frustrating thing about barbecuing is hoping you’ve put the right amount of lighter fluid on the charcoal so that it lights, but doesn’t burn up in the process.”

Primo’s charcoal fixes that by lighting quickly and easily with a quicklight stick. Once you’re through cooking, simply close the lid and shut off the air vents and in a few minutes the fire is out but the charcoal is preserved for next time.

And by controlling those air vents you control the temperature, which makes sure your food cooks just right. Turn up the heat for Cajun-style blackened chicken, dial it back to slow cook ribs or brisket. Set it on medium heat for the best grilled pizza you’ve ever tasted!

For those who take their brisket, ribs or other smoked meats seriously, Vincent is excited about the new FireMagic smoker. Using the same lump charcoal as Primo grills, the FireMagic smoker features a sleek stainless steel cabinet lined internally with ceramics to spread the heat evenly. With one compartment for charcoal and another compartment for smoke chips, the smoker gives you complete control over temperature and flavor.

If your family hosts often, or grills for church events, charities or if your business does cookouts for employees this FireMagic smoker would be perfect!

Then there is what may be the ultimate griller’s delight: FireMagic’s dual grill, that’s half gas grill, half charcoal grill. Vincent says he’s just received the first dual grill and has already seen a lot of interest in it. It’s perfect for those times that you’re grilling a large amount of meat on charcoal, then want to add veggies or some toast at the last minute. Just light the gas grill, heat the veggies, and turn it off. It’s the perfect combination!

American Home Improvement is also your stop for accessories, charcoal and some of the most flavorful seasonings on the planet. Vincent points out that a child with a $5 bill could stop in and get a great gift for dad from the barbecue pantry.
Remember, Father’s Day is this Sunday, so go by American Home Improvement’s showroom today.
