The Hot List Home Guide

It’s about time to spruce up the home for the holidays and clean out those closets! Here are my favorite people to help you with all of your home needs!

APPLIANCES

When I renovated my home a few years ago, I was in search of high-end appliances for my kitchen. After shopping at a few stores, I was referred to Royal Rose Burton Kitchen Supply. Not only did I end up buying every single appliance for my home, I have ONLY used them since and referred them to several friends and family members over the years who have been nothing but pleased! If you do your research, I guarantee you Royal Rose Kitchen Supply has the best appliances, price and customer service around!!! Royal Rose is running an amazing promotion with Wolf for lots of free Wolf products. Contact Royal Rose Kitchen Supply for more information:

PAINTER

Everybody needs a painter and nobody wants to spend an arm and a leg for one. They say you get what you pay for but with Fire Fighter’s Painting you get exceptional quality plus an unbeatable price. Rob Bucich, owner of Fire Fighter’s Painting, was a Wall Street guy for several years before he gave it all up and started Fire Fighter’s Painting. He took his knowledge of numbers and applied it to his painting business. You pick the paint, Rob buys it at his contractor price and you pay the exact price on the invoice from the paint store. Meaning you are paying exactly what Rob paid for it. Same thing for caulk and any other paint materials. There is no markup. Rob charges you per man per day. If it ends up taking a day longer than he quoted you, he will only charge you for length he stated it would be complete.

Fire Fighter’s Painting Services include:

Residential Painting
Commercial Painting
Exterior Painting
Interior Painting
Deck Staining
Pressure Washing Decks and Home Exteriors

INTERIOR DESIGNER

I know hiring an interior designer is not an easy fete. It is hard to find someone who knows exactly what you want without having to spell it out for them. Believe me, I interviewed many designers before I fell head over heels with Acker Bryant.Through each project in my home, Jeff Acker knew my vision and consistently chose furniture, paint, carpeting, window treatments, light fixtures etc. that were spot on. I have recommended Acker Bryant to so many friends who have all raved about their firm.

ARCHITECT

Nothing amazes more than the ability to walk into someone’s house, look at a room and be able to transform it into a place you never dreamed of before. There are good architects and there are great architects. Meredith Reiman, founder of mCad is one of the greats. Whether you want to renovate an office or your entire home, Meredith will invest the time to understand who you are and design a room or house that’s very personal and specific to your needs. Meredith understands high-quality materials and details which she uses to create an extremely comfortable and beautiful space.

SECURITY

command 3

When we moved into a new home, we researched many security companies but choosing Command Security was the best decision we made in terms of securing our home. Command Security has a long history of providing unmatched customer care combined with top-of-the-line products and service throughout the most of New Jersey. Each system is individually designed to fit your specific needs and budget. The first three months of monitoring is complimentary for all new customers that mention LuLu’s Hot List.

FIREWOOD

After trying three firewood companies and it being a total fail (as in the wood sucked) We FINALLY found an amazing firewood delivery service that rocks! T & D Tree delivers cut wood and stacks it. The wood is cut on the small side so it’s very easy to light. The 1/2 chord is very generous.
