HOME REMODELING

ACo & THE RE-DEVELOPMENT GROUP:

A Downtown Delight ACo AND THE RE-DEVELOPMENT GROUP COLLABORATE ON AN HISTORIC, ST. CLAIR HOME

by Christy Heitger-Ewing

When Carlie Suski, Design & Sales Consultant at ACo, and Emily Stephenson, interior designer and selections coordinator at the Re-Development Group, joined forces to convert a duplex in an historic St. Clair neighborhood in the heart of downtown into a 2,779 square foot single-family home, they did what they always do – relied on each other’s expertise to bring the project to fruition.

And when challenges arose, as they inevitably do, the pair collaborated, bringing their own wealth of knowledge to the table to rectify any issues.

“It’s not a finger-pointing game. Instead, we are here to work together to solve whatever problem we might encounter,” says Stephenson, who points out that when building in an IHPC- (Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission) controlled area, the approval process is rigorous in order to preserve the integrity and charm of the old home. For this project, that included small details on the outside that needed to remain intact, as well as keeping the two front doors of the duplex.

“Opening up the space to make a duplex into a single-family home is the 8 H AV E N

biggest challenge to making it feel like one home,” says Stephenson.

The homeowner for this particular project wanted to have the space vaulted and open with lots of steel in the house which lends to the home’s overall industrial design.

“Our design plan included metal accent doors in the kitchen for the wall cabinets to tie that industrial vibe in as well,” says Suski, who was careful to introduce texture but not overwhelm the space with it.

“There are a lot of details to this particular project – the steel floating shelves, the steel hood vent, shiplap on the end cap of the oven cabinet,” says Stephenson.

“Rehabs can create challenges that we don’t experience in new construction. For example, the existing exterior wall was so out of whack at the end of the oven cabinet that we had to come up with a way to hide the gap between the oven and the wall. So, we added the ten-inch shiplap detail and then actually recreated it throughout the entire house!”

To soften the industrial style, they infused richer cabinets and deeper tones,

“OFTEN WHEN PEOPLE THINK OF THE INDUSTRIAL STYLE, THEY ASSUME IT’S COLD, BUT MIXING NATURAL MATERIALS, NATURAL WOOD TONES, AND NATURAL LIGHT HELPS SOFTEN THAT LOOK.” – CARLIE SUSKI Design & Sales Consultant, ACo

and they installed metal doors with glass inserts, overlaying gold mesh to break up the dark cabinetry. In addition, ACo added butcher block tops in the kitchen and laundry room, which bumped up the warmth.

“Often when people think of the industrial style, they assume it’s cold, but mixing natural materials, natural wood tones, and natural light helps soften that look,” says Suski.

“It’s an industrial warm style that feels homey,” adds Stephenson.

Construction in the midst of COVID-19 presented its own challenges as lead times and deliveries doubled on some lines.

“What that does to a construction schedule is pretty devastating. I kept Emily informed so their team could adjust their schedule and bump up different trades to fill in those gaps,” says Suski.

“That way they could make progress, and keep things moving forward.”

Although the project took a bit longer than is typical due to COVID-19, the delays were minimal ACo thanks to a coordinated effort between the Re8100 E. 106th Street, Suite 130 Development team and their project partners. The Fishers, IN 46038 homeowners, who moved from the westside to this 317.575.9540 downtown location situated close to the Bottleworks LiveAco.com District, are ecstatic with the end result.

“It’s everything they ever wanted,” says Stephenson. “This is their dream home. They see themselves here for many years to come.”

ACo wants you to love where you live, so they work with homeowners, designers, and builders like THE RE-DEVELOPMENT GROUP the Re-Development Group to ensure a worry-free 1017 E Michigan St. experience. Learn more by visiting their design Indianapolis, IN 46202 gallery showroom at Hub & Spoke in Fishers or go 317.281.0482 redev.net online to LiveACo.com to schedule a consultation.

LANDSCAPE & DESIGN

GREENIMAGE LANDSCAPE & DESIGN:

Landscaping Your Family Can Be Proud Of

by Suzanne Huntzinger

A warm breeze blows through your hair as you sit on your back patio, relaxing after a long day’s work. Your glass of wine awaits. The birds chirp, the kids and the dog run around in the backyard as you wind down. You can smell the steaks sizzling on the grill. You wake from your dream, look out the window and see the ground has barely thawed, and it’s a long way to go until summer.

It’s the perfect time to make that dream come true, and GreenImage Landscape & Design wants to make that happen for you. Founded by Dan Weingart, they’ve been making outdoor living and landscape dreams come true since 2009. After earning his degree in Horticulture from Purdue, Weingart moved to Florida and started working with a leading local landscape contractor. After a few years, he moved back to Indiana to be closer to family. It was then that he branched out on his own and turned his childhood passion and dream into a reality.

Weingart started the company as Green Leaf Landscape but changed it to GreenImage Landscape to avoid it being similar to that of a competing business. His first project was building a new patio and pergola. It wasn’t long before customers began asking if Dan and his crew could do other projects like lawn maintenance and cleanup.

1 0 H AV E N

GREENIMAGE LANDSCAPE & DESIGN offers a broad range of services to ensure that families have an outdoor space they love.

From landscaping to outdoor living design to maintenance, and even snow removal...

GreenImage does it all!

“Everything we do is a luxury project. We want to give families a space they can feel good in and feel a sense of pride and satisfaction with their home.”

– DAN WEINGART Owner, GreenImage Landscape & Design

Since then, Weingart and his team have grown the focus of the business to offer a broad range of services to ensure that families have an outdoor space they love. GreenImage Landscape still offers landscape design and construction, and all things outdoor living. They design and build patios, pergolas, fire pits, retaining walls and create lighting.

As Weingart describes it, “We design, build and maintain top-notch outdoor living spaces.” GreenImage Landscape has expanded its lawn maintenance services too. They take outdoor chores off your hands like mowing, mulching, mosquito control, irrigation services, flower planting, seeding and sodding, leaf removal, and even snow removal.

It’s no accident that GreenImage Landscape is successfully doing projects for families. Weingart believes family defines his business. “Our company culture is based on family, and our core values are family, integrity and honesty.

Our employees are loyal, and they’ve been with the team for years. They can work independently but they’re not afraid to hire newbies and train them up. We all treat each other like brothers and sisters,” Weingart says, “We want our people to come in to work with a positive attitude because when they’re happy, they work better.”

The happiness goes beyond the workplace. GreenImage lays the foundation for happiness by creating an outdoor masterpiece. But more than that, Weingart believes it’s also about bettering people’s lives.

“Everything we do is a luxury project. We want to give families a space they can feel good in and feel a sense of pride and satisfaction with their home,” Weingart says, “It’s landscape & design very gratifying when I see my friend and neighbor sitting outside and he tells me his patio is so awesome.”

BUILDERS ASSOCIATION OF GREATER INDIANAPOLIS

President’s Message I think it is safe to say we are all glad that 2021 is upon us. While last year was nothing like any of us would have imagined it, I have also been so impressed by our industry’s resiliency and innovation in the face of adversity. As I step into the role of Board President this year, I could not be prouder of the industry we represent and the group of people I get to interact with.

The demand for new homes continues to pick up steam in 2021, even as we face residual supply chain challenges and the shortage of lumber. After concluding the highest year in single-family home starts in our market since 2006, we see no signs of that demand slowing down any time soon in 2021.

BAGI WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE TWO MEMBERS for their statewide and national recognitions: BRIAN ADAMS Godby Hearth & Home

Speaking of innovation, BAGI continues to evolve its member services to meet the ever-changing needs of our membership. As the industry changes and technology evolves, we are working hard to continue our mission to promote, educate, and network. We have big plans for our Impact Teams this year, which provide spaces for deeper relationship-building and professional growth based on the interests and industry sectors of our members. I am especially passionate about this endeavor and look forward to seeing these Teams develop and thrive throughout the year and beyond.

The Struggle is REAL… with Workforce Development One of the largest ongoing challenges facing our industry is workforce development. The demand for new construction consistently outpaces the available workforce required to meet this demand.

Build Your Future is Here to Help.

MISSION Build Your Future Indiana is a unique collaboration of employers, state agencies and industry associations. Our goal is to encourage Indiana residents to learn about construction craft careers and training opportunities now emerging in our state, and to qualify for and get jobs in these high-demand occupations.

Build Your Future aims to be the catalyst for recruiting the next generation of craft professionals. We provide a collaborative grassroots approach to construction workforce forecasting and development that includes recruitment, training, placement, retention, and image enhancement strategies.

bagi.com

BUILD YOUR FUTURE HAS 3 PRIMARY GOALS:

1 Shift public perception about careers in the construction industry to reflect the wide range of professions available.

For five straight years, the skilled crafts have remained the toughest positions to fill globally. This is in spite of the industry’s upward mobility and high earning potential.

2 Make career education and awareness a priority in your community.

Build Your Future Indiana is working with school officials and educators to bring this program to schools so that students and their parents can learn that great career opportunities are achievable at all levels of education – from high school diploma, technical skills training and on-the-job experience, to associate and bachelor degree levels.

3 Provide a path from ambition, to training, to job placement as a craft professional.

Industries such as construction and manufacturing will provide nearly 8 million job openings, of which 2.7 million will require a post-secondary credential.

FAST FACTS Skilled craft positions remain the hardest jobs to fill worldwide for the FIFTH straight year.

There’s been an 8% increase in graduation rate for students enrolled in career technical education classes compared to traditional students.

80% of new skilled-trade jobs require less than a year of schooling.

Nearly 80% of construction businesses are struggling to fill skilled labor positions.

Associated General Contractors of America

81% of dropouts said that more “real-world learning” may have influenced them to stay in school.

(Pathways to Prosperity, Harvard Graduate School of Education)

Build Your Future Indiana provides valuable resources to help connect students, parents and teachers with information about career paths in the construction industry.

CLEANING & HOUSEKEEPING

CHRISTINA’S COMPLETE CLEAN:

Product Overview with Christina’s Complete Clean

by Courtney Pope

2 0 H AV E N

ve

Sit back and relax – Christina’s Complete Clean has it ALL covered – yes, the latest and greatest cleaning products included! Along with Christina’s 17 years of experience, the team keeps current on home trends and studies which products work best to clean, sanitize and disinfect surfaces, leaving the guessing game out for you as the homeowner. Let’s get down to the nitty gritty with Christina’s Complete Clean!

WHAT PRODUCTS DOES CHRISTINA’S COMPLETE CLEAN USE ON A REGULAR BASIS? Picking “favorites” is nearly impossible with the everchanging industry standards, but with trial and error and observing usability, Christina’s has curated some products widely used in their residential projects. Christina’s also spends significant time educating their staff on pH levels and which chemicals mitigate certain levels of pH, so the Team has both product knowledge and a chemistry background to support their use of specific

cleaning products. Depending on the surface, some of their current go-to products include: Mrs. Meyer’s, a 256 Century Q disinfecting agent, Lysol (or similar product), aerosol glass cleaner, stainless steel polish, and a variety of floor products.

“We truly are always ebbing and flowing with industry trends in chemicals/supplies and also during these (pandemic) times, our usage is subject to availability of specific chemicals like the Lysol brand,” explained Brandi Peyton, Director of Operations at Christina’s Complete Clean.

DOES CHRISTINA’S COMPLETE CLEAN RELY ON SPECIFIC CLEANING TOOLS? Believe it or not, Christina’s residential staff uses hand tools and the only electric tool used in homes is a good old vacuum!

“Everything else is hard work and elbow grease … of course with the addition of our arsenal of safe chemicals. Commercially we have access to a floor cleaner, as well as wet/dry vacs. Both sides of our business use good, old-fashioned hard work and sticktoitiveness!” said Peyton.

GIVEN COVID-19, WHAT EXTRA PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED AT CHRISTINA’S COMPLETE CLEAN TO ENSURE A CLEAN SPACE?

of precaution for clients to help mitigate any viral disruption to their space.

DOES CHRISTINA’S COMPLETE CLEAN ADAPT TO CLIENTS WITH SPECIFIC ALLERGIES? Christina’s has a myriad of products to choose from, so if a client has an allergic aversion to any chemical/supply, they can easily work with them to ensure we are keeping the client safe while still able to leave the space it’s cleanest.

“All our cleaning products are safe, effective, and available in local stores – and they smell good too!” For more information or to inquire about cleaning services for your home, give Christina’s a call at 317-564-4244 or visit their website at christinascompleteclean.com.

INTERIOR LIGHTING

BURTNER ELECTRIC:

Working at Home Has Never Been Easier

by Matt Keating

If you find yourself working at home more than ever, why not get all your electrical work done while you work?

Jodi Burtner, with Burtner Electric, said, “You don’t need to take a half day off anymore to get your electrical work done. People are spending more time at home these days, and they are seeing more things they need to change around the house. This is a good time to add more lights or outlets to your home office or other rooms.”

Burtner recommends keeping your office light indirect, and not working under a direct glare of overhead lights.

“You really want to illuminate the entire home office and have a light source behind you so you can work more effectively,” Burtner says. “Having great lighting can improve your productivity, while bad lighting can hurt your eyes, lower your energy and give you a headache.”

Burtner noted that a lot of home offices have ambient lighting that effectively lights up an entire space. Adding task lighting can help create focus for specific workstations.

“Task lights need to be brighter than the ambient lighting to reduce eye strain, especially in the early morning or early evening,” Burtner says. “Getting electrical work done in your home office can give you a nice place to work while your spouse is working in another room, or the kids are e-learning in their rooms, the kitchen, or the living room. You can update your lighting plan in those rooms as well to give everyone in the family a nice place to work.”

Accent lighting can brighten a home office more efficiently according to Burtner, and also add ambiance or visual appeal. It can help to highlight a photo gallery wall or art work, or highlight the architectural details of a fireplace mantle or built-in cabinetry.

“On a Zoom call, you might want to show off your office background in the absolute best light possible,” says Burtner. “Smart lighting choices can add some personality and can also be more effective and affordable. Using LED lights can lower your electric bills.”

There are even more options for updating your lighting plan such as adding lighting panels which can be mounted to a wall.

Some desk lamps with adjustable light panels can give you different levels of brightness as needed.

Take advantage of the time you spend working from home to get your electrical work and lighting plan updated, contact Burtner Electric at (317) 773-7663, or online at BurtnerElectric.com.

Window Treatment Trends FOR 2021

Intuitive designs, modern technology, and fresh new color palettes can all invigorate your home and make it a more comfortable place to be. The window treatment trends we’re most excited about in 2021 are the perfect way to add fresh style to your home.

OUTDOOR SHADES Bridge the gap between inside and outside and create a comfortable enclosure with retractable outdoor shades.

They can protect your outdoor living spaces from dirt and debris, wind, harsh sunlight, bugs, and nosy neighbors. In cooler seasons, they can help retain heat from outdoor fireplaces and heaters — meaning you can enjoy your porch or patio nearly year-round. When they’re not needed, place them in the raised position and they virtually disappear!

ADVANCES IN WINDOW TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY Smart home technology has been around for a while now, but with each year it grows more user-friendly. With HunterDouglas Powerview Automation, you can incorporate window treatments into your smart home system with incredible results! Tell your blinds to raise and lower themselves and watch as they follow your directions or schedule them to open in the morning and wake up with natural sunlight.

Another exciting technology advancement for window treatments trending in 2021 is digital fabric printing. This technology provides the ability to create any design imaginable, in any color you want, through digital fabric printing! Create the drapes of your dreams or personalized pillows using the fabric, patterns, and Pantone colors you choose and make your home design truly one-of-a-kind.

MINIMALISTIC WINDOW TREATMENTS Minimalism is in vogue in every part of life, including window treatments, and we’re thrilled to see it! It’s a myth that minimalist home designs should do without window treatments altogether. Choose a window treatment option that complements your design such as roller and screen shades which are versatile and easy to incorporate into minimalist designs while giving you light filtering and privacy options.

BLACK WINDOW FRAMES Black window frames are a standout feature in new homes. They make a statement in any exterior or interior design. We love this bold new style that’s sure to stick around awhile. Complement those black window frames by using Fusion Shades which fuse together a dark exterior-facing fabric and a light interior-facing fabric, blending your styles seamlessly.

GRANDMILLENIAL DESIGN Grandmillenial takes a page out of your grandma’s design book, featuring floral patterns, bold colors, and elegant designs. It brings these ideas into the 2020’s with an infusion of color and creates charm and cheer in your interior.

This trending design aesthetic is all about coziness and vintage whimsy, something all of us could use a little bit of this year.

THE COLORS OF 2021 © Sherwin-Wil liams / Urbane Bronze

If you had to pick a color to sum up this new year, what would you choose? The color connoisseurs at Pantone have a combination to offer with Ultimate Gray which creates a solid foundation while Illuminating is a soft-spoken yellow. Together, these colors create a sense of practicality and optimism that is the perfect mood for a new year.

Sherwin-Williams has another take on the year’s color with Urbane Bronze, a deeper gray-brown hue with an element of earthiness to it.

Benjamin Moore’s pick, Aegean Teal, is a gray shade with a calming hint of teal hidden within.

All of these colors are perfect for creating an atmospheric interior design that brings you peace and optimism this year. Consider custom drapes in these colors or custom shades in a complementing color.

Use the new year as an opportunity to create beautiful new looks in your home inspired by these window treatment trends. Make 2021 the year you stop dreaming and get started with a complimentary design consultation at Drapery Street.

CONCRETE

FLATMADE CONCRETE CO.:

Evolving & Aiming for

PERFECTION

by Matt Keating

Established in 1985 as Reynolds Concrete, Flatmade Concrete evolved in 2019 when third generation owner and operator Ben Driskell decided to refocus and rebrand the family business. Although the name changed, the company still maintains the high-quality work that has been their foundation since the beginning. They specialize in decorative concrete for everything from patios and pool decks to driveways, garage and basement floors, and even countertops.

Driskell added, “My grandfather started Reynolds Concrete back in 1985. I worked for him and my dad during my summers off from school. I started out as an apprentice when I was 10 years old back in 1994.”

Driskell was a quick study, learning the entire process of installing concrete, and the ins-and-outs of running every aspect of the business. In 2015, Driskell was able to purchase the company from his grandfather and take over running the day-to-day operations. Since then, he has become adept at adjusting the company to changing times.

“The company had taken quite a hit due to the housing crash, and was ready for rebuilding,” he says. “I began reinvesting in the company. I started adding new trucks and machinery to the fleet and hiring on new talent. We have doubled our client base, while working with only the best custom builders in

the area. We are not in this market for volume installs, as our happiness lies in quality. This takes patience and focus, which ultimately has higher labor and material costs that most highvolume builders can’t justify.”

The team also expanded their knowledge and expertise, learning more finishes and more efficient ways to get the basics completed. They have been able to pass their knowledge and experience on to a younger generation and bring in the next era of concrete finishers at Flatmade.

With the changes and updates to their business practices, it was time for a new name and an updated brand. “We teamed up with Haven Media to create the name, Flatmade Concrete, and a new logo to fit our image,” Driskell says.

Driskell added that, “By becoming Flatmade Concrete, we feel the name was really built around us and our image and we think our brand is set to become the best in central Indiana.”

Part of that new brand and image is demonstrating daily that Flatmade Concrete employees take care of their clients.

“We learn what matters most to each client, and cater to their needs,” Driskell says. “We take care of existing home remodels, as well as new custom homes. We truly enjoy transforming entire residential exteriors. Since the remodeling of a home’s entire exterior concrete is rare, we focus mostly on new builds. We aim for perfection, and our attention to detail delivers the best quality for the best built homes.”

4 STEPS to Choosing

Your New Garage Door

by Courtney Pope

2 8 H AV E N

When it comes to your home’s curb appeal, a new garage door that suits the style of your home can have a major impact. Choosing that new garage door, however, can be more complicated than you might think. Where do you start?

How do you narrow the options to find the best design for your home? The team at Precision Garage Door is here to help answer your questions and guide you through the process of finding the right garage door with these four simple steps.

1.

2.

3.

START WITH THE RIGHT COMPANY. Read reviews (check the review dates!) and make sure the company has a physical address. Precision Garage Door is locally owned and operated and services well over 10,000 Central Indiana residents each year. “We are grateful for our community and the wonderful support we receive,” says Joel Belyew, owner of Precision Garage Door Indy.

– JOEL BELYEW Owner, Precision Garage Door Indy

DESIGN. With endless options of styles and colors, look at neighbors’ selections, browse online, or utilize doordesigner.precisiondoor.net to help narrow your focus. Then work with your sales consultant to select the design options the suit your vision.

INSULATION. An energy efficient door reduces energy bills. “In all cases your first option should always be a fully insulated door with a steel layer on the interior in addition to the outside,’ states Belyew “This also adds to the durability and strength.”

4.

“Your first option should always be a fully insulated door with a steel layer on the interior in addition to the outside.”

QUALITY. The type of steel used in your door is the most important element – 27 gauge (thickness increases as the number decreases) or thicker should be your starting point. Remember, if the brochure does not list the gauge, they likely are not using quality steel. Additionally, pay close attention to the hardware. Many doors come with temporary parts leading to long term expensive repairs. Be sure to ask the length of the warranty and if labor is included.

Investing in a quality garage door that is designed to suit your home is worth taking the time to get right. Connect with Precision Door Indy at 317-943-4737 or visit their website at garagedoorindianapolis.com to learn more and get started on refreshing your home’s curb appeal with a new garage door.

QUALITY CHECK. When shopping for an insulated door, be sure the steel is 27 gauge or thicker.

If its not listed, ask!

TRIBUTE

OASIS OUTDOOR LIVING & LANDSCAPES:

Persevering IN THE FACE OF TRAGEDY

Celebrating the Life & Legacy of Rob Delaby

W

hen a legendary, vibrant personality is suddenly silenced, the world feels a striking, somber shift.

Such was the case on December 17, 2020, when Rob Delaby, founder of Oasis Outdoor Living & Landscapes, lost his life in a fire while on a hunting trip with his devoted dog Buck. When news broke of the tragedy, scores of condolences poured in from friends, family, colleagues, and clients.

David Decker, President of ACo, recalls how he and Delaby became instant friends the moment they met. “Rob – ‘the Mayor’ as we called him, was loved by so many. It was truly a gift to be one of his good friends,” says Decker. “His constant smile made it easy for him to be loved by all. He knew no strangers.”

Scott Bates, co-owner of Christopher Scott Homes, agrees that Delaby lit up a room whenever he stepped into it.

“I know a lot of people say that, but this is 100% the truth with Rob because if you met him for five minutes, you felt like you were his close friend,” says Bates. “His great work ethic, paired with his personality, is what made him a fantastic salesperson and company leader.”

The first time Rob Mulligan and his wife Tricia met Delaby, they all got a kick out of the fact that the two couples shared the same first names.

“He didn’t talk about himself, though. He started telling us about Tricia, or ‘Bird’ as he called her, and ROB DELABY

3 0 H AV E N

how wonderful she is and how we should meet her,” says Mulligan. “And he talked about his kids. His love for his family was so endearing.”

That love of family was displayed in the way he did business. As part of the Mulligans’ landscape design plan, Delaby and the Oasis Outdoor team were installing a swimming pool in the backyard. The scheduled move-in date to their new home was set for July 11 – the same week the Mulligans’ daughter turned 14 and she was hoping to celebrate her day with a pool party. When Delaby heard of the plan, he promised to have the pool ready for the big day.

Everything was lining up until a few windy days set them back. With dust and debris blown into the pool, it needed a lot of work to get it ready. Then like Santa Claus, a few days before the shindig, Delaby and a team member from Oasis Outdoor showed up unannounced to get to work.

“Rob is personally hosing down the filters, skimming the pool, and working for several hours on what was a blazing hot day,” recalls Mulligan. “I can still remember him standing waist high in our pool with a vacuum in one hand and his phone in the other hand, calling people to cancel his meetings that afternoon, telling them, ‘The Mulligans have a birthday party on Saturday, and I need to get their pool ready!’ It was an extraordinary act of kindness and generosity on Rob’s part. This tells you what an enormous heart Rob had. He was one of a kind.”

Time and again, Molly Smith, Marketing and Business Development with Oasis Outdoor, witnessed Delaby’s character shine through. For instance, when a new client approached them with a project and talked about a bad experience they had the previous year with a competitor, Delaby didn’t capitalize on the mishap but rather responded, “I’m good friends with XYZ [the competitor].

I’ll call them, and they’ll take care of you. I’m sure it was a miscommunication, those guys are great.”

Another time a customer on Geist questioned how Delaby would possibly get materials delivered to their space due to the tricky topography. Delaby didn’t bat an eye. He simply stated, “No problem, we’ll just get a barge!”

CHEERS TO ROB! The Oasis Outdoor team gathered to commemorate Rob as he would’ve wanted them to, with bourbon and cigars.

Rob Delaby’s friends and colleagues remember his

Unmatched Generosity “He was the most generous person I’ve ever known, and his impact on our world is evident by all of the people he has helped over the years and those affected by his death.”

– DAVID DECKER Owner, ACo

“Rob was one of those rare individuals who wanted to help for the right reasons. He always had other people’s health and well-being at the heart of his charitable contributions and service.”

– CAROLINE JOHNSON Executive Director, Twisted Pink

“He was all about providing solutions,” says Smith.

Delaby looked for solutions in all avenues of life – not just his business. That’s why he was so dedicated to supporting causes close to his heart. For instance, in 2015 Delaby was named Pink Tie Guy of the Year after raising more than $20,000 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. He got involved when his friend and colleague Smith was diagnosed with breast cancer. He had several people in his life who were affected by cancer and he wanted to do something to help. Delaby spoke through his actions, he did not just say he wanted to help, he always followed through, said Smith. He also lent his support to Twisted Pink, whose mission is to provide hope and connection for people living with metastatic breast cancer by funding bold breakthroughs in research and awareness of the disease.

“He was eager to learn as much as he could about a disease that’s very misunderstood,” says Caroline Johnson, Founder and Executive Director of Twisted Pink. “Rob was one of those rare individuals who wanted to help for the right reasons. He always had other people’s health and well-being at the heart of his charitable contributions and service.”

In 2018, Oasis Outdoor sponsored the Haven Home Cover Party; Delaby used the opportunity to fundraise for Twisted Pink and for another dear friend battling cancer, Jennifer Alderman.

“Everyone at the party knew Rob and loved him. They were there to support his business which was clearly thriving because of the person he was, his talents, and his ability to connect people,” says Johnson, noting that Delaby donated a rare bottle of bourbon to raffle off at the event, which raised more than $25,000 for the organization, a large portion of that was from a check he wrote personally. “I remember him having the best time and bringing so much energy to the room at our gala event, which he attended every year. He was so giving to others.”

To help carry on Delaby’s legacy, Twisted Pink is starting a scholarship designed to help people living with metastatic breast cancer connect to others and become better advocates. The inaugural Robert L. Delaby Legacy Scholarship Award will send one person annually to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting in Chicago, Illinois. To learn more about how to nominate an individual for the award, visit twistedpink.org. Nomination letters are due by April 1.

“Even though we were having fun, he never stopped answering calls and handling business questions. Not to mention after at the silent auctions, he would give and give and give. His heart was enormous!”

– KRISTI LEE Q95 Radio Personality

“I auctioned off my race-worn helmet to raise money for charity. Rob purchased it … so he could give it back to me. It’s my only race-worn Indy 500 helmet I’ve ever been able to own. It was a gift I’ll never forget.”

“Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting Rob knew he brought life to the party, and how he lived his life made you want to get to know him better,” says Johnson.

Radio Personality at Q95 Kristi Lee was good friends with Delaby and spent a great deal of time playing in charity golf outings together.

“Even though we were having fun, he never stopped answering calls and handling business questions,” says Lee. “Not to mention after at the silent auctions, he would give and give and give.

His heart was enormous!”

One time at St. Elizabeth Seton’s annual Mardi Gras party, Lee had donated a John Mellencamp signed guitar.

“Even though he and Tricia were just starting their careers, he insisted on bidding up and purchasing that guitar because the money went to charity,” says Lee. “It was just one of many times Rob stepped up and gave money to those in need.”

Twice Oasis Outdoor sponsored racecar driver Pippa Mann for the Indy 500, and proceeds benefitted Donate for Life Indiana, who was Pippa’s win sponsor. When Mann met Delaby, she was touched by the way he opened his heart to everyone, championed the underdogs, and believed everyone deserved a chance.

Then at the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500, he did something else that blew her away.

“I auctioned off my race-worn helmet to raise money for charity.

Rob purchased it … so he could give it back to me,” says Mann. “It’s my only race-worn Indy 500 helmet I’ve ever been able to own. It was a gift I’ll never forget.”

“He was the most generous person I’ve ever known, and his impact on our world is evident by all of the people he has helped over the years and those affected by his death,” says Decker. “He brought people together and made the world a better place.”

It was Delaby who convinced his friend Clark Cutshaw, Director of Builder & Showroom Business at Ferguson Enterprises, to support the Pippa Mann Donate Life Car. “I was out to dinner with Rob and three other guys and Rob started telling us about the impact cancer had had on his life,” recalls Cutshaw. “He had big tears running down his face as he shared his passion for supporting this cause. Seeing

Rob and Pippa Mann at the cover shoot for the May 2018 issue of Haven. Oasis Outdoor sponsored Mann twice in the Indy 500, with proceeds benefitting Donate for Life Indiana.

how emotional he got is what solidified my support of this cause.”

According to Cutshaw, Rob went full-tilt when he got into something.

“He was never halfway in – kind of like being his friend, because nobody was ‘kind of ’ friends with Rob,” says Cutshaw. “Once you were his buddy, he was always texting you, wanting to hang out. You were all in.

And every second was amazing.”

Delaby’s wife of 24 years, Tricia, has taken the company’s helm, continuing his strategic vision and utilizing the same loyal and skilled team Delaby had assembled.

“Our primary goal is to continue providing the highest quality of craftsmanship and customer satisfaction, while always looking out for the best interest of our customers,” says Smith. “This has been the driving force for which we are known, and the hallmark of our success.”

Tricia, a strategic partner in the company since its inception knows the business in and out, and is stepping into this role with a promise that the company will continue their same way of doing business moving forward.

Clients can be assured that Oasis Outdoor will continue with the foundation that Delaby laid.

“Rob never wanted to build the standard project that any company could do,” says Smith. “He wanted to build a relationship with the customer, find solutions for them and design and build a project ideal for their family. [He liked] giving March 2021 3 3

the customer a little something different.”

And that is what the company is committed to moving forward, using their expertise and established vision to make the best possible outcome for the customer.

That was how he lived his life – with joy, verve, and goodness.

Cutshaw calls Delaby’s larger-than-life personality “infectious and addictive.”

“You met him one time and you wanted more because any time you could get was well worth it,” says Cutshaw. “You always laughed, always smiled, and always felt loved.”

Alan Drane, Director of Landscape Sales at Stone Center of Indiana, met Delaby about 15 years ago when the two started doing business together. Drane explained how Delaby connected with people simply by being himself.

“Rob always controlled the pace and the focus of meetings, yet his customers always left fully satisfied that they were heard, and their needs were being met, ” said Drane. “He was one of the greatest communicators I have ever known.”

Drane continued by explaining Delaby’s hardy laugh, youthful exuberance, slightly rebellious nature, love of his friends and family, caring nature, and his dedication to what he believed in were the qualities he admired most.

“And the occasional ‘I love you man’ which was heartfelt,” remarked Drane. “As a rule, most of us are not great at that … Rob was a master of it.”

AT THE HELM: Rob’s wife, Tricia Delaby, has taken over operations of the company, and is continuing with Rob’s strategic vision.

Clients can be assured that Oasis Outdoor will continue with the foundation that he laid.

G&G CUSTOM HOMES BUILDS A SPECTACULAR SPEC HOME IN HOLLIDAY FARMS

by Christy Heitger-Ewing / renderings courtesy of G&G Custom Homes

In the past few years, Holliday Farms has become Zionsville’s hottest new neighborhood as residents enjoy the luxurious landscapes and ample amenities that the community offers. Joe Garcia, owner of G&G Custom Homes, has been building beautiful custom homes all around Indianapolis since 2003.

Recently, he decided that this was the ideal time to purchase a lot and build a modern five-bedroom, six-bath spec home in this picturesque community that offers fabulous amenities, including fitness, swimming, tennis, and a championship golf course designed by legendary course architect Pete Dye. Located in one of the newest sections of the neighborhood, the 7,200 square foot home will overlook the number 3 green and number 4 tee box. Garcia is building something extra special in order to take advantage of the spectacular golf course view –a rooftop deck with fire pit. Inside the house leading out to that rooftop deck is an activity room with a wet bar.

“The rooftop deck will be a great place for the family to hang out or for homeowners to entertain with friends as they share a glass of wine, overlooking the views of the course,” says Garcia.

He relished the chance to build a modern home with glass garage doors, high-end appliances, vaulted ceilings, beautiful beam work, and detailed trim work throughout – all features that people are looking for when building a custom house these days. It will also be a Smart Home with all the bells and whistles that make for true luxury living. The rooftop deck creates a covered porch below, which is a sanctuary all its own. That porch will include heaters in the ceiling, as well as a dropdown bug screen to extend the life of the patio.

“In the era of COVID-19, people are spending more time at home so many of them are opting to create a space that can be used in multiple ways – for work, for play, to relax, anything goes,” says Garcia. “These days people work off their cell phone, their iPad, their laptop computer, and they can do that anywhere. As a result, fewer people are choosing to create traditional office space and instead opt for those free-flow areas that are multi-use.”

The two-story home also has a spacious basement ideal for entertaining with an open area that will include a bar and wine room. The main floor is also a great hosting spot as it will flow out to the covered porch – a prime location to relax and unwind, day or night.

to evaluate your space and layout to create your ideal backyard haven for entertaining.

Here are two options to consider.

Add an Outdoor Television Ray Rice, owner of Digital Sight & Sound, says adding a television in an outdoor entertainment area is a great way to gather with friends or family – and in a world of quarantine and social distancing, it may be the only way to safely watch TV together.

“With all of the available options, why not have more outdoor family movie nights or catch a football game with friends while keeping an eye on the grill?” Rice asked.

“An outdoor television can add another dimension to your living space and there are plenty of durable options designed and built to be used outside.”

Upgrade your Soundsystem Whether on your patio, out by your pool, or covering your entire backyard, having the ultimate outdoor audio setup takes a lot of planning. Rice noted that it is important that every single speaker, and where it will be placed, is taken into account.

tread trends: CREATING A STUNNING STAIRCASE

RUN WITH IT! Like wallpaper for a staircase, runners are usually decorative with patterned or sculpted carpet and oftentimes have a detailed edge.

4 4 H AV E N

The staircase is often the first thing people see when entering a home, and these days many homeowners want it to be a stunning focal point. However, many staircases were designed with only function in mind and homeowners may not know where to start with a design update.

One of the easiest ways to update a staircase is by replacing the flooring on the stairs, known as the treads. With so many different options available, here are a few of our favorite stair tread trends.

way to make a statement with your home’s decor.

One of the easiest ways to update a staircase is by replacing the flooring on the stairs, known as the treads. a staircase. The most common two-toned stairs are white risers with stair treads to match adjacent hard surfaces. That said, no one said you cannot have a little of fun and put any color you want on the stair treads or the risers. Just think of the possibilities.

3 HARDWOOD TREADS

1 NEW CARPET Simple and cost-effective, update a tired-looking staircase by replacing old, worn carpet with a new style, pattern, or color. We recommend upgrading to a good quality pad – it typically helps with the longevity of the carpet.

Solid treads that flow with the floors on the main level of your home create a sophisticated and upscale look, though it typically comes at a higher cost. The stair structure under existing wall-to-wall carpet is not usually meant to be finished, so it will need to be replaced with solid treads and risers.

Matching the flooring you have throughout your main floor creates a cohesive look, while going for a darker or lighter stain can have a more dramatic effect.

DECORATIVE STAIR RUNNERS

Stair runners are essentially long rugs installed in the center or walkway of the stairs. A runner sits atop finished stairs with exposed stained wood on either side creating a nice border, as well as an added layer of design to the structure. Additionally, exposed hard surface treads can be slick for kids and pets. A decorative runner is both attractive and safer for your family.

Runners are usually decorative with patterned or textured carpet. Modern Farmhouse design is seeing an increase in striped stair runners, and this is a great

5 FLOATING STAIRS For an even more stunning change, consider a complete overhaul of your staircase design with floating stairs.

Combine a steel structure with floating hardwood treads for a great warm, yet modern, look, or keep things more rustic with an all wood design.

TWO-TONED STAIRS Two-toned stairs have two colors – one color on the treads (horizontal portion of the stairs) and one color on the risers (vertical section between the treads) and can add more color, detail, and contrast to

CUSTOM CONCRETE:

Getting the Job Done THROUGH

by Christy Heitger-Ewing

Any successful company in the construction industry knows that grit is necessary for getting the job done day in and day out. For the people at Custom Concrete, from the onsite team completing work to the founders and company leaders, grit isn’t just another characteristic, it is who they are as a company and individuals.

Grit is in Custom Concrete’s DNA. It’s part of the fabric that’s woven into the company’s culture, starting all the way back to the founders and patriarchs. The things the team at Custom Concrete has done over the last 51 years to get the company to where it is today are unbelievable.

For instance, back in the day, before the availability of heavy equipment, workers had to spread gravel by hand. Though advances in equipment have come a long way, the intense work ethic remains the same. The Custom Concrete team uses grit to support one another on scorching hot days, stark blustery days, early mornings, late evenings, when days are insanely busy, and when life is just plain crazy due to a global pandemic.

“Grit is not uncommon in our industry,” says Jason Ells, Senior Vice President of Custom Conrete. “We’re so happy to partner with vendors, builders, customers, and contractors, all of whom demonstrate grit. This is important to us because we want to always get the job done and do it TRUE GRIT! The truck, ‘Bullet,’ Joe Carr fixed on the side of the road. right.”

That’s why they celebrate their grit and determination as a tribute to those who came before them. Joe Carr, who started the company in 1969, was on his way to a job site once when the engine went out on his pickup truck. He had a colleague bring him another engine and he swapped it out on the side of the road so he could get to work. That’s grit.

Today that grit lives on through the team at Custom Concrete, who employ it daily. They stand behind their work and see every job through with that same fortitude and determination. Whether facing the foundational challenges of a house on a hill or pouring concrete for a new industrial complex on Indiana clay, grit gets the job done.

For a top-quality concrete basement or foundation contractor who serves its customers with grit, connect with Custom Concrete online at customconcrete.com.

HOME ARTISANS OF INDIANA:

5 TIPS

for Hiring the Right Home Improvement Specialist

by Courtney Pope and Erik Anderson

5 0 H AV E N

“We absolutely recommend asking your family, friends or other trusted people for referrals.”

– DAN WEINGART HAOI Member & Owner, GreenImage Landscaping

Home is more than just a “place to hang your hat.” For many of us, it is a dream fulfilled. That’s why it is so critical that we choose the right professionals for construction and home renovation projects. Quality and results matter – but so do integrity, transparency, and accountability. We have gathered five tips for hiring the right construction professionals for your next project.

1.

CHECK WITH HOME ARTISANS OF INDIANA. HAOI is a carefully curated group of artisans with proven track records of reliability, stellar customer service, quality, and value. They can direct you to the local artisan or craftsman who will best meet your needs – and exceed your expectations. There is a helpful database of recommended artisans available on their website at www.homeartisans.com/findan-artisan/.

2. ASK PEOPLE IN YOUR SOCIAL NETWORK. “We absolutely recommend

asking your family, friends or other trusted people for referrals,” said Dan Weingart, Home Artisans of Indiana member and Owner of GreenImage Landscaping, “Nearly all our clients are referred by word of mouth!”

3. REVIEW WEBSITES. Do a Google search and then narrow down your list

of potential contractors by evaluating their work, credentials, and experience and making sure they align with your vision. Do your due diligence by evaluating case studies and browsing project galleries.

4.

READ REVIEWS. What do past clients – your peers – have to say about their experiences? Are they happy with the results? Check out Google, Facebook, Yelp, and other online services to read reviews and ratings.

5. HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOUR POTENTIAL CONTRACTOR!

Schedule an appointment or a consultation and get to know them. This is your time, so feel free to ask whatever you need. “We always have a conversation prior to starting work. This gives the client an opportunity to learn about our services, our company, how we operate, and we provide a proper introduction to the technician and/or crew that will be working on their property. It also gives us an opportunity to learn about the client and set expectations from both sides,” said Weingart.

HOMES WITH STEILL:

GUIDING YOU THROUGH THE

Buying & Selling Process

by Christy Heitger-Ewing

Homes with Steill is a full-service residential real estate lifestyle company that represents buyers & sellers, builders, first-time homebuyers, clients seeking custom new construction, luxury real estate, investment properties, and relocation clients in the Indianapolis metropolitan area and surrounding cities. The company is in the top .01% of 10,000 agents in the Indianapolis area.

“We think differently about how real estate is sold,” says broker/realtor Justin Steill. “Every member of our team places a premium on honesty, industry knowledge, collaboration, extraordinary customer service, and taking pride in everything we do.”

The 17-member team consists of market and industry experts who are skilled negotiators that strive to get their clients the best price possible.

“When we first meet with you, we ask questions to understand your needs and wants,” says Steill. For instance, “Why are you selling? Where are you moving? When would you like to have your home sold? What is your driving deadline?”

The diversified team also asks clients what challenges they anticipate, as well as what they are looking for in an agent.

This ensures the best possible working relationship and, by extension, the best results.

“Tina and I had a wonderful experience in working with Justin, along with his team. They made us feel like we were dealing with family. They offered great service and advice through our entire process of building our home.

Thank you for all your efforts. God bless all of you!”

– CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

“I’ve bought and sold several houses so I know what makes a good, mediocre or fantastic realtor. That said, Justin and his team are by and far away the best realty company I’ve ever dealt with. Justin is personable, knowledgeable, patient, and professional. He knows the market, how to price, and how to showcase your home to highlight the best features and facilitate a fast sale. I had three offers in six hours, and by the time we took it off the market two days later, I had eight offers. Most asking price or above. I was blown away! I will never even consider another realtor. You want your home sold? Get Justin and Homes with Steill. Seriously, you won’t regret it.”

HALO SENIOR SOLUTIONS So often seniors lack the help they need when the time comes for them to move out of their homes and into a senior living facility. At this stage in life, all the steps it takes to sell a home and move out can feel exhausting and overwhelming.

Homes with Steill, however, has a division called Halo Senior Solutions that provides as much or as little guidance and hands-on help as a client needs.

“Halo Senior Solutions is built around what we call an angel,” says Steill. “Let’s say your mom breaks a hip and has to immediately move into a facility. Our angel will coordinate all the different vendors like the state attorney, house cleanout, and estate sale for her and help her move into that senior living facility.”

Should a client decide that they’d like to stay in their homes for a bit longer, Halo Senior Solutions can have a company come in and hook up sensors for main appliances so that if a homeowner forgets that, say, the oven is on, a sensor will sound to alert them.

HOMES WITH STEILL’S Halo Senior Solutions division helps older clients navigate the home buying and selling process, with as much or little guidance as needed.

Looking to Make A Change in 2021?

Let Homes With Steill guide you through the process!

“We have served thousands of clients,” says Steill. “Check out what they have to say about the team.”

Homes with Steill’s offices are located at 4630 Lisborn Drive, Carmel, IN 46033.

“Our experience with Justin and Homes with Steill made purchasing a commercial property while selling a residential property flawless. Justin was available to answer our numerous questions, details were handled professionally, and yes... I would recommend them to my mother. If we move, I would use their services again!”

“Homes with Steill was able to help me sell my home and purchase a new home! They are professional and very experienced when it comes to home value and the selling and buying process. Our neighbor ended up selling their home with them as well. No matter what price range, they have the expert staff to successfully sell or buy any home type!”
