EXHIBITOR HIGHLIGHT

America Italiana Exceptional Windows and Doors Where the Old World and the New World Meet, Creating Magic America Italiana is truly a unique company. What is it?

America Italiana: America Italiana is a custom window and door design build company. Piero started making windows and doors upon completing his mechanical engineering degree. He fell in love with doing this some 40 years ago and to this day loves it so very much.

What makes America Italiana exceptional?

America Italiana: Everything is fine craftsmanship with attention to beautiful detail — like a tailor who makes clothes to fit the person and the personality — everything’s possible and custom — built to suit.

A symphony needs to play in unison or everything’s out of tune — just as your windows and doors should be in coordination with your home.

Many things are involved. One needs to see the showroom — people need to see everything, see all that’s possible — ask questions – in order to create the best fit. Connecting with everyone and everything, i.e. the contractor and architect, it’s all important. It’s about creating this “magic” that makes it, in the end, indeed very special for your home.

What do you love most about what you do?

America Italiana: That the people love what we do. For that, we are grateful. We hear this all the time: “This is so amazing … Why is it I have not heard about this before …

How come I never knew you were here?”

We also hear this: “This is even more beautiful than we thought it would be.”

We follow the client from beginning to completion. We love what we do … and what we can do … and the happiness it brings to everyone for a long time. It’s all custom-made. It’s all handcrafted in Italy.

You cannot find what we do, at this level, anywhere else in the US. It is truly a work of art and a passion of love. With pride, this is something that our wonderful clients, and their beautiful homes, come to expect and appreciate … and so do we.  4 MARIN HOME & GARDEN EXPO 2014 PRODUCED BY THE PACIFIC SUN

Sleep Number Helps You Sleep Better, Together

A

ccording to a recent survey, almost one in four U.S. couples (25 percent) sleep apart due to sleep disturbances or bedroom incompatibilities, such as mattress firmness or temperature preferences.

y name is Jim Scarr. Mario Grandinetti and I are the owners of Hall’s Window Center. Our family-owned business was not built by being the fastest or the cheapest business in town. It was built, however; by a commitment to customer service and a belief that every customer should be completely thrilled with our product and service. Our promise to you is that you will absolutely LOVE your Hall’s experience.

Since 1976, our focus has been and always will be customer service; we just happen to sell windows, doors, and siding. We are a company who is obsessed with our reputation and strive to be better in all aspects of our business and industry. We succeed in this venture by listening to our customers.

You told us that trust must be earned, so we hired a third-party survey company to post all customer surveys without interception in order to create a transparent culture. You told us that

Hall’s Window Center’s pledge is to not simply sell you windows, doors, and siding, but instead to continue serving as your home improvement team just as we have for nearly forty years.

workmanship. You told us, “it’s not how we fall, but how we get back up”, so we implemented internal processes to warrant best practices during your buying and installing process. Lastly, you told us that price and quality are important, so we researched over 100 window manufacturers and combed through our industry to deliver products and services that meet your expectations.

After canvassing these window manufacturers, we found that only three companies passed our rigorous standards for performance, durability, warranty, and beauty. We understand that you only want to replace your windows once; therefore, we are confident that we can meet your expectations on both cost and quality, allowing you to avoid any future window replacement. As Mr. Hall once said, “Only rich people can afford poor quality windows”. Our value delivers the lowest cost of ownership to the customer with a quality that is unmatched.

Any company can have a great story, a great product, and a great price, but without great service none of that matters. Hall’s stands above the rest in service with a 10 Year Workmanship Guarantee. All work is performed by an in-house factory-trained team (no sub-contractors or middle man), and a dedicated service team whose only job is overseeing your project from start to finish.

Hall’s Window Center’s pledge is to not simply sell you windows, doors, and siding, but instead to continue serving

as your home improvement team just as we have for nearly forty years. With that being said, if for any reason we fail at this pledge, we want to hear from you.

We will leave no customer behind.

Crescent Hill strives to be a full service nursery

F

ounded in 2001, Crescent Hill Nursery is a Watsonville, Californiabased grower of rare and unusual perennial plants. California offers a multitude of different microclimates in which to garden, and our aim is to fill these diverse niches with interesting plants from around the world.

Crescent Hill Nursery believes that California’s wide array of natural environments provide the ideal backdrop for the use of interesting plants in the landscape. We thus place a heavy emphasis on varieties new to the

trade, and thrive to introduce them to gardeners and landscapers alike. This is paired with our already eclectic plant list of garden-tested species, providing a palette of functional plants that stray slightly (and sometimes widely) from the beaten path.

From the drought tolerant California native and Mediterranean region specimens that have become our specialty, to lushly tropical selections, it is our hope that everything we offer brings excitement and enjoyment to all who participate in the incredible world of plants.

Crescent Hill also strives to be a full service nursery, and can help with consultation, design, and landscape installation for the greater Central Coast region. We have been working with water-wise Mediterranean plants for the past ten plus years, and can offer creative and beautiful solutions to California’s current water crisis.

Please take a moment to tour our website (www.crescenthillnursery.com) and explore our plant catalog for more

Emp’s Graphic Eye Glass Work truely a work of art

B

ill Empey, owner of Emp’s Graphic Eye, has been involved with artwork ever since his grade school teachers asked ‘’who has the ability to draw a class project”. :Bm followed his passion for art thru Petaluma High School, Brigham Young University and the San Francisco Art Institute.

In the early 1970’s, Bill traveled all over the West Coast in his motorhome painting “super graphics” on buildings

such as the Fuller O’Brian paint factory in So. San Francisco.

Remodeling his parents’ clothing store in Santa Rosa got Bill involved in the construction industry and he spent the next ten years designing and remodeling residential and commercial buildings in the Bay area to include Chuck E Cheese.

Then in the late 1980’s, Bill found a new love and he let his construction crew go and he hired young ladies with art backgrounds to help with his new fascination for glass. All of Bill’s past educational and work experience have proved instrumental in his ability to design and carry out complicated glass projects with the proper attention to any structural demands or specific building codes pertaining to glass. Bill’s art background has enabled him turn a functional piece of glass into something truly beautiful.

Bill and his capable staff have been carving on glass shower panels, front door and cabinet glass, windows, mirrors, tables, and just about any other glass surface you can think of.

Bill can edge light his glass panels with L.E.D. lights in a wide spectrum of

colors for a unique visual effect. Bill also paints on his glass projects to achieve a special outcome. Bill has one of the largest kilns in the Bay area and he puts it to good use making slumped glass for shower panels, counter tops, sinks, and door and cabinet glass. The kiln also allows Bill to make curved glass panels that will fit into many different residential and commercial applications.

Over the years, Bill’s custom glass work has been shown in many remodeling and architectural magazines. Bill has done work for such people as Joe Montana, Robin Williams, Ronnie Lott, members ofMetallica and the “E” Street Band and such, companies as Microsoft and Century 21.

Visit the website or come to the showroom in Petaluma to see the quality and originality of the decorative glass products offered by Bill’s company. Bill and his staff at Emp’s Graphic Eye welcome the opportunity to assist you in creating beautiful custom glass to suit your specific needs. 
