The EPA certifications are required to perform work on any pre-1978 homes, since these homes may contain lead paint. Employees were trained on how to test for the presence of lead in paint, how to establish a safe work environment for workers and home occupants, and how to properly clean and remediate the work site.
McClurg Remodeling & Construction Services has served Central New York homeowners and commercial customers for more than 30 years. Residential remodeling projects include kitchens, bathrooms, exterior living spaces, basement conversions, additions, large-scale renovations and interior and exterior alterations. Smaller household repair projects are handled by Home Repair by McClurg, which provides a wide range of services including door and window installations, drywall repair, rail and step replacement, roof and deck repair, and tub and window frame caulking.

Judy Aguirre (pronounced uh-gear-ray), a wife and mother of two young boys, fell in her Baldwinsville home last September suffering a broken neck which left her paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. In a community-wide effort to help the Aguirre family, several local companies have donated supplies and employees of McClurg Remodeling & Construction Services have volunteered to construct a wheelchair accessible deck at her home. The project starts Wednesday, May 19 and the community can follow its progress on Facebook and Twitter.
"Our family is enormously grateful to so many people and companies in our community who are helping my sister and her family during this very challenging time," says Jennifer Harte, Judy's sister. "The deck will enable Judy to spend time with her boys and family in the yard she has always cherished. She is very strong willed and determined to recover from her injuries and remain an active mother."
"The project will take up to three weeks to complete, depending on weather," says Brian Ciota, vice president and co-owner of McClurg. Businesses donating materials for the project include: 84 Lumber, East Syracuse; Benjamin Electric; Black Glass; Calley's Hardware; Healy Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning; Liverpool Lumber Company; Matheison Portable Toilets; Nightingale True Value Hardware; Skaneateles Scapes; Tiger Claw Hidden Deck Fasteners; Trex Decking; and Van Derhoof Roofing Company, Inc. McClurg employees are donating labor.
Judy's life changed dramatically after the accident. For three weeks she was in intensive care and she spent another 10 weeks in rehabilitation. While medical expenses were covered by insurance, rehabilitation services, adaptive equipment and home conversion expenses were not. Anyone interested in helping the family can contact Jennifer Harte at (315) 254-9171.

McClurg Remodeling and Construction Services is pleased to introduce Central New York homeowners and small businesses to an affordable way to "go green" with solar water heating systems from VELUX, a global leader in skylights and other solar technologies for more than 65 years.
"Solar water heating is a proven technology that works in all climates, even right here in Central New York," says Brian Ciota, vice president, McClurg Remodeling and Construction Services. "With a solar water heater, your water heating bills should drop 50-to-80 percent and, thanks to generous federal and state tax credits, payback can be as little as three years."
VELUX solar water heating systems use the sun's energy as a source of heat to produce hot water for domestic use. Homeowners will appreciate the system's aesthetically pleasing low-profile "roof integrated" solar panels that look just like skylights. Copper tubes carry solution heated by the sun to a storage tank located inside the home or business. Water in the tank is heated by the solution, which recirculates to the rooftop solar collectors.
"By using the sun to heat water, this green technology reduces the owner's energy expenses, as well as their carbon footprint," says Ciota.
McClurg's professional installers have extensive experience working in Central New York homes and businesses, and have completed advanced training to ensure delivery of fast, reliable installations of all VELUX solar water heating systems. For more information, visit McClurgTeam.com and VELUX Solar Water Heating Systems.

McClurg's higher ranking was attributed to its 10 percent growth in revenues compared to an eight percent decrease in total revenues for all Top 500 companies.
In addition, McClurg was named to this year's Qualified Remodeler Perennial Top 500, a list of 157 remodeling firms that have made the Qualified Remodeler Top 500 list at least five years in a row.
"To achieve double-digit growth in such a challenging year, when the industry as a whole experienced a decline, is truly remarkable," says Brian Ciota, vice president, McClurg Remodeling and Construction Services. "We attribute much of our continuing success to a unique process embraced by all of our employees that focuses on complete customer satisfaction on every job. When our customers are satisfied and we earn their trust, they come back and they refer us to friends and neighbors which is so important in the remodeling business."
