Wheaton, IL (PRWEB) May 22, 2013

Donatelli Builders, Inc. today announces its win in the 2013 Chrysalis Awards for Remodeling Excellence competition. The Wheaton, Illinois-based custom home builder and remodeler entered in three categories and won in all three. Donatelli Builders, Inc. was named a national winner in the category of residential exterior over $100,000, and was also named as a regional winner in the whole-house remodel and regional specialty item categories.

Winning awards in multiple categories is difficult to do. Not only does this speak to Donatelli Builders versatility, but to its commitment to quality on every project, says Ken Kanline, Director of the Awards.

The prestigious Chrysalis Awards honor the finest remodeling projects in the country that reflect the professional excellence of the residential and commercial remodeling industry. The entries were judged on overall design, the creative use of space and materials, and the degree to which the project enhanced the original structure. The Chrysalis Awards are open to any professional remodeler and design professional in the United States.

Were honored to be recognized by national judges, and are thrilled to have received multiple awards this year, said Chris Donatelli, president of Donatelli Builders, Inc. This collaborative effort truly reflects how we work to integrate the design and construction process from start to finish to provide our clients the most efficient delivery of services possible.

The winning project was a dramatic whole-house renovation of a lake house for a family of four. The team at Donatelli Builders, Inc. revitalized the late 1970s-era lake house into a beautiful modern-day weekend residence. This was accomplished through the replacement of windows and siding, an addition of an exterior deck, enhancements to the interior floor plan, and replacement of many of the interior finishes including hardwood flooring, cable railings, new doors and moldings and electric and plumbing fixtures.

GALLIPOLIS A Gallia County man who had fled officers attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant late last month for probation violations, was sentenced to prison on Monday in the Gallia County Common Pleas Court.

David L. McCormick, 39, Gallipolis, was sentenced to serve a total of 17 months of imprisonment in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction after his community control was revoked.

McCormick, who was arrested on May 2 by a Gallia County Sheriffs Deputies, fled from officers who approached his Green Terrace Court residence in Centenary earlier that week and subsequently was the cause of a lockdown at nearby Green Elementary School and Gallia Academy School.

McCormick reportedly fled on foot into the woods located opposite of the trailer court at approximately 9:30 a.m. on April 29.

Both schools were contacted by authorities as a precaution and were locked down until 10:45 a.m. that morning.

McCormick remained at large until his arrest on the morning of May 2 by deputies who were able to make contact with the suspect and take him into custody.

The defendant was initially charged in this case with one count of felony theft by deception after he reportedly stole $9,000 from the victim in October 2009.

According to the police report, McCormick had agreed to perform some work for the victim including a roof replacement and siding replacement on the victims residence. However, after providing money to the defendant for materials needed for the work, the victim reported that he never saw or heard from McCormick again.

A indictment against McCormick was later filed against McCormick in December 2009, and, the following August, the defendant entered a guilty plea to a fourth-degree felony theft charge and was subsequently sentenced to five years of probation and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $9,000 to the victim.

If you've got a smaller home with no more than five to eight front windows without shutters, consider adding some to improve the curb appeal, advises Sullivan. However, on a $1,000 budget youll likely only be able to afford vinyl shutters, which start at $21 per pair at Home Depot (wooden shutters start at $46 per pair). You'll spend the remainder of your $1,000 budget having a professional install them.

If you already have exterior shutters and theyre in good condition, apply a fresh coat of paint to give them new life. The cost of hiring a painter to update exterior shutters varies by location, but it can be less than $1,000 depending on the quality of the paint and other materials, such as primer, being used. In Washington, D.C., for example, the average cost of painting 16 shutters for eight windows starts at $581.55, according to Homewyse.com, a Web site that offers cost projections for labor and materials. In Seattle, it'll run you $650.81.
