LAKE CITY, Fla. (WCJB) -- The Blanche Hotel hosted its first event tonight after years of remodeling.

Many Lake City residents say they are excited to see what the historical landmark looks like now.

After almost two years, the Lake City community was finally able to see what the Blanche Hotel looks like with millions dollars worth of renovations.

"It is beautiful, said Lake City Resident Joy Lutz. It is so that they restored it to its historical components and also updated it and its great to have it as a hub for downtown."

The hotel, built in 1902, was the first building in Florida to have an elevator.

The debut of the renovated 80,000 square-foot property was an art fundraiser for the Happy House and the Art League of North Florida.

"We just brought downtown Lake City back to life again, said IDP Properties Marketing Director Dennille Decker. I mean, bringing the balcony back on Marion Street was something that used to be here, hadn't been here for 50 plus years so that was a really big deal to the community.

Decker said the renovations to th hotel created an overall rejuvenation of a whole city block in Downtown Lake City.

"You, know and downtown's need of a hub to bring things downtown and this will definitely do that, said Lutz. It will help all of the little hubs and shops down here and get people here supporting our community."

At the end of the day, many Lake City residents say they are pleased with what the hotel looks like now and thrilled to see what the historic landmark will have in store for downtown.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) Signs of new life at a once-popular nightlife destination in Rochesters East End neighborhood.

City Grill on East Avenue announced its closure back in November. Owners and management said they made the decision to close to due complications from the construction of what was the East Avenue Inn and Suites, which will bebecome The Courtyard by Marriott East-End Hotel.

The team said they were working on plans in hopes of re-opening alongside the new hotel in the future, although no expected date of completion was given.

In the meantime, the City Grill Facebook page posted Thursday whats in store for the near future:

According to the post, City Grill will be opening their doors every Saturday until their remodeling begins.

City Grill Underground will be open Saturdays from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. and is described in the post as lounge style, fun atmosphere with a cool DJ and exciting bartenders providing a fun place to grab a drink.

The City Grill Underground is for adults 21 years and older, and requires a business casual dress code.

If youve ever remodeled any part of your home, you know the headache that comes along with the process. Its not nearly as glamorous when you dont have the deep pockets (or expertise) that HGTVs Chip and Joanna Gaines have to deal with unexpected problems.

Subscribe to the Crunchbase Daily

Kyle Zink, the first marketing hire at Square, found this out firsthand after purchasing a home in Southern California a few years ago. Zink hired a contractor through a trusted source and was excited about fixing up the house. But the process turned out to be a nightmare.

Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong, he recalled.

The experience got Zink thinking. His time at Square taught him how much small business can benefit from technology. Zink was dismayed to discover his own contractor essentially relied on a legal pad and text messaging to communicate and for checks to get paid.

I looked around in the marketplace and saw there were a lot of companies tackling really big commercial problems and projects, Zink told me. But on the residential side, there were no real tools for small, independent contractors.

It was then Zink teamed up with Andy Vella to come up with the concept behind Punch List. The San Francisco-based startup has just closed a $4 million seed round, Zink told Crunchbase News exclusively. It also today launched a mobile app that aims to help independent contractors and homeowners more easily navigate the remodeling process. The digital platform gives contractors a way to provide real-time views on progress, get approval during different phases of a project and get paid as they go.

For Zink, Punch List is the first modern tool for contractors to grow and run their business. (In the construction world, a punch list is a list of items that need to be addressed before a project can be deemed complete.)

Bling Capital and Bedrock Capital led the seed financing. Ludlow Ventures and Mayfield Fund 1 also participated, as did a group of high-profile angel investors including Twitter and Square co-founder Jack Dorsey, Rippling COO Matt Macinnis, YouTube co-founder Steve Chen, and Opendoor co-founder and CEO Eric Wu.

Punch List is in its early stages, having built a core alpha and beta product that its been testing with some early customers. Today at the NAHB International Builders Show in Las Vegas, the company is publicly releasing its app which will be accessible within all 50 states.

The way it works is fairly straightforward, according to Zink. Once a contractor and a homeowner agree to work together on a remodel, they share the details (such as scope, timeline and budget) with a Punch List account executive. The information is then uploaded to the app for contractor and homeowner approval.

As the contractor completes work, he/she takes photos of the progress in real time and sends them to the homeowner, who can review and approve remotely if desired. When each significant milestone is complete, Punch List automatically generates invoices for homeowner approval. According to Zink, the pay-as-you-go model is designed to allow contractors to get paid faster while giving homeowners more visibility into the project. The whole process also aims to keep projects moving along smoothly. If a contractor can get approvals quickly, he/she can avoid delays.

Contractors will pay $49 a month per project, but the service is free to homeowners. Punch List operates on a SaaS platform.

The demand is certainly there. According to a recent Ernst & Young survey, 98 percent of contractors globally agree that digital technology will be critical to the future viability of their business. Yet just less than 10 percent feel confident in how far along they are on the digital readiness spectrum. Also, according to the Joint Center for Housing Studies, Americans spend more than $400 billion a year on residential renovations and repairs.

In general, the construction tech space is hot, but it has largely focused on software helping with mostly commercial, and mostly big, projects. Yet millions of Americans at any given time are in the middle of some form of home renovation. Startups addressing this subsector, if they do it right, have the potential to garner impressive returns.

Q: Im thinking about pursuing a remodel of my home but am afraid of exposing my children to harmful materials during construction. How can I minimize this risk?

A: If youre like many homeowners, you want to buy green products to keep you and your family healthy and safe. No one wants to expose their loved ones to toxins and chemicals.

A 2018 study by the Shelton Group, published in Eco Pulse, found that the number one reason cited by respondents for choosing green products in three categories was the health and safety of their families. Others include conserving natural resources, preventing waste and inefficiencies, and mitigating climate impact.

Whatever your reasons for seeking contractors that use green products, there is an excellent but little-known resource to help you make your selection: the Red List.

According to the International Living Future Institute, its Red List includes the worst in class materials prevalent in the building industry.How your contractor uses it (or doesnt) can have a significant impact on your remodel project, as well as the environment.

The easiest and most effective thing you can do with this list is have a conversation with your contractor about your health, safety and family-wellness needs, and how to limit harmful materials on the project. This is especially important if you and your family will be living onsite throughout the construction phase.

The Red List demonstrates to the contractor how important using green products is to you, and it gives them the information they need to best advise you throughout the project and reduce harmful toxins and chemicals wherever possible.

What are the limitations of the Red List? Simply put, the list isnt exhaustive. Many big brands develop the materials they use in their products in different plants, and some are unwilling to disclose every material or ingredient used in each product. The company may consider such information proprietary, and its understandable for them to protect their intellectual property and assets.

However, these days even a modicum of transparency especially regarding environmental impact can enhance a brand and build consumer loyalty. When it comes to the environment and consumer health, protecting proprietary secrets is increasingly seen as a liability. As a homeowner with a family, knowledge is a better selling point than secrecy. The Red List arms you with that knowledge.

Ask your contractor if theyre already using the Red List. If your contractor is already familiar with it, chances are good they have at least a passing interest in green products, materials and resources in the building industry.

In the best-case scenario, they may be actively reviewing and monitoring updates on the list to avoid using, working with and offering products made with listed items. This requires extra time, research and care to ensure that products they use are both green and a good fit for the remodeling project.

Communication and collaboration with your contractor or design-build firm will be frequent once the process begins, and it may prove overwhelming at times. The earlier you discuss your desire to use safe, green products, the better off youll be when construction begins.

Last month, a BuildFax report stated that the housing construction slowdown may be easing up. Based on both single-family housing authorizations and remodel activity from September to October, it appears that this forecast held up.

At the time of the October report, BuildFaxs COO, Jonathan Kanarek, stated, If housing continues showing the promise of growth, or even a leveling off, this activity has the potential to stimulate the larger economy.

A month later, the company reports growth. According to the BuildFaxs report released on Monday, single-family housing authorizations increased by 0.24% from September to October 2019. This marked a 2.33% increase year over year the first year-over-year bump since September of 2018.

Last November, housing activity experienced the first instance of blanket declines since 2011, when the economy was still recovering from the 2008 recession, said Jonathan Kanarek, managing director of Buildfax. Almost a year following Novembers declines, were now seeing blanket increases.

In light of the recent upswing in housing activity, its likely the 2019 housing slide was a stabilization of a white-hot market, he said. This is, of course, further bolstered by a strengthening economy that recently experienced interest rate cuts, steady wage growth, and a reversion in the yield curve.

The blanket increase Kanarek noted also applies to activity within the existing housing supply. BuildFax refers to existing housing maintenance as a gauge of consumer confidence. Since the beginning of September, the company has been reporting increases in that index. The trend continues as existing maintenance volume and spending gained 6.08% and 12.67% year over year, respectively. According to BuildFax, maintenance activity has now increased for more than a full quarter.

Additionally, remodel volume and spenda subset of maintenance that includes renovations, additions, and alterationsincreased 6.83% and 9.18%, respectively, the report states. Year-over-year remodeling activity has started to outpace maintenance activity, increasing at a faster rate since June. This suggests homeowner project size and scope have likely been higher over the past few months.

ISG and DeLeers Construction Inc. will handle design and construction for the buildout of 4,800 square feet at the WaterMark building in Green Bay, Foxconn said.(Photo: File/Press-Gazette Media)

Foxconnn Technology Group said Monday it has chosen a design firm to remodel part of the Green Bay building it bought last year, and where Foxconn has said it will locate one of what it has called its innovation centers.

ISG and DeLeers Construction Inc. will handle design and construction for the buildout of 4,800 square feet at the WaterMark building along the Fox River, Foxconn said.

The firm said the building will house Foxconn events, including tech talks and recruitment drives, and be a space for community engagement.

The remodeling will involve a relatively small part of the 75,000-square-foot, six-story structure.

Portland interior designer Angela Todd is a believer in bold colors and entrancing patterns, even in a historic building that just happens to be her home.

Here, she transformed an easy-to-ignore foyer into a captivating jewel-box environment with blue and fuchsia hues, aged stained and painted new wood, and a mix of statement-making textiles all while honoring the 1916 Foursquares classic character.

Like many homeowners, Todd had aspirations to improve an underwhelming space, in this case it was her entry.

But four years after she moved in, all she had accomplished with the project was to splash ho-hum yellow paint on the lathe and plaster, which already held layers of wallpaper. This temporary fix only made the potentially dramatic oak floor and the other woodworks time-earned patina fade into the background.

Then, she spontaneously accepted Better Homes & Gardens Fall One Room Challenge in which she and close to 300 other tastemakers across the country were invited to make over a space in six weeks.

The clock was ticking and the public was watching.

If you have ordered custom furniture or worked with a designer in the past, you might realize how crazy this timeline really is, Todd wrote in her informative blog.

In the end, she completed the transformation on time, posted before and after photos, and drew praise from design fans. Followers of @angelatoddstudios on Instagram ballooned.

Her personalized artistic expression, which is full of energy and zest, as she describes it, wraps bright floral Osborne & Little wallpaper from Manolo Walls around window frames made of old-growth timber.

A leopard-print wool runner from Classique Floors covers well-tread stair steps and a new brass chandelier with multicolored gems was inspired by the old brass switch plate and hardware of the wide front door.

Todd sees herself as a steward of her 103-year-old home and shes thankful that much of the labor-intensive and irreplaceable adornments have survived, despite different owners tastes, decades of shifting decorating trends and the desire for modern upgrades.

She accepts that her homes wood stain isnt currently in style, but she worked hard to preserve its distinctive raised grain.

Please think long and hard before you paint stained woodwork, replace wood windows or remove original fixtures and fittings, Todd wrote in her blog. She says older, well-made pieces were built to last and can be repaired and reconditioned for less than the cost of inferior replacements.

She advises her clients who dont like an existing element to consider this: Almost anything can be made fresh and beautiful by changing what surrounds it.

Trends will come and go, but great craftsmanship and quality are timeless, says Todd, who recommends The Old House Guy website as a resource.

Here are interior designer Angela Todds tips to dressing up an entry before holiday guests arrive:

An entry gives guests an instant impression and expectation of their visit. Think first about function, then how to add comfort and establish a mood. The goal is to anticipate guests needs.

When Georgetown fans look back upon the 2010s, they wont catch a glimpse of happy March memories or at least many of them.

This was a decade in which Ohio, Virginia Commonwealth and Florida Gulf Coast each became shorthand for something in program lore and none of it is particularly fun for the Hoyas to relive.

Georgetown lost to each of those double-digit seeds in the first half of the 2010s. That was still superior to the back end of the decade; only one NCAA tournament berth in the past five years, a coaching change and a far-from-prominent part of the success of the revamped Big East.

Still, there are some good memories to take out of the past 10 years. Georgetown made the Big East title game in 2010. It dealt Syracuse a 61-39 loss in the latters last regular-season game as a member of the Big East. And it carries some promise into the next decade thanks to a promising sophomore class led by James Akinjo, the 2019 Big East freshman of the...
