Community Involvement and Industry Affiliation in KC
Donating Time and Material
| We
make an extra effort to save and recycle the building material used
during a remodel project. Items such as windows, doors, cabinets, appliances, plumbing fixtures and electrical fixtures are routinely donated to the
Habitat ReStore which is affiliated with
the Habitat for Humanity. Excess construction material such as tile, stone, brick, lumber and flooring is also donated in the homeowners name. Clients are then given a tax-deduction receipt for their donations.
Steed Remodeling and its employees are committed to the future and well-being of all citizens in the Kansas City area.
Volunteer projects are one way that we can give back to the community in the hopes that those individuals that receive our generosity will someday pass it on to the next underprivileged person. |
