Summer is FINALLY here! What kind of projects are you just dying to get into? We can hear the inner dialogue from here:

"The deck needs a good power wash, maybe a stain, we need some new shrubs in the back that the deer ate last fall, somebody has to look at the roof (how long to roofs last anyways????), gotta do something about the windows (now I can feel the heat coming in and not the other way around), and my wife is bugging me about the kitchen. Wow thats a lot - how am I possibly going to get this all done and still enjoy my summer?"

When you are in this situation, this is the time to call Dana Carlson Enterprises. We are not only a general contractor with over 30 years experience, but we can do the small projects (like power washing the deck and planting shrubs) to remodeling that dated kitchen. With reasonable rates, free estimates and a well oiled team, we are the contractor to call when there aren't enough hours in the day or days in the week.

Southern Rhode Island has such a short period of warm weather, seize the opportunity and get those nagging projects done! Call John at 401-932-3828, to receive a complimentary estimate!

Cool NEW Office Space!!!


We don't really think the word has gotten out about our little office space. Really kind of our fault as we have not told that many people! Here is a little clip from the outside. Pretty stinking cool vinyl of our logo, provided by Aaron over at Sign Art.

This spot is perfect, we have a little view of a pond, great neighbors and quite a bit of space. It's perfect for doing all the normal office stuff and meeting with perspective and current clients. If you would like to come visit us, please do!!!

Summer Prep - Call Dana Carlson to get it done!!!



Oh please summer gods! Are you staying with us? As native New Englanders and lifetime Rhode Islanders, Dana Carlson Enterprises is not surprised by our current lack of spring and possible vaulting right into summer.

So besides dusting off the shorts and flip flops, what can you, as a homeowner do to get ready for this season of sun and fun? Why, spruce up the house and yard. Now wait a minute - I can hear the moans from here. Yes, they are audible. Okay - so if you would rather be hitting the beach or dipping your toes in the lake, then who will get your property ready for the warmer weather? Why us of course!

Some really simple steps that make a big difference now and later:

  • Clean those gutters! All the gunk and debris that has been piling up in your gutters is serious bad news for your house, yard and basement. If the water is not flowing through the gutters properly, it can be collecting in large puddles, seeping into your house or flooding your basement. 
  • Caulk the exterior! Sealing the exterior of your house not only contributes to lowering your energy bills, but protects your investment from those pesky natural elements. Exterior caulking should be done once a year in order to keep everything tight. 
  • Clean and seal your deck! "Whoa" you say as you walk out onto your mold infested summer lounge spot? Yes, the winter and wet spring have turned your deck into some shade of Kermit the Frog. The very first thing is to power wash that sucker. And we don't mean dousing it gently with the nearest garden hose - only a true power washer will get your deck gleaming. Once it sparkles, seal that sucker! Sealing will keep your deck protected during the abuse of the summer months, but also into the winter when the snow piles up on it (sigh...horrible thought).
Really don't want to spend your summer doing this? Home remodeling contractors, Dana Carlson Enterprises, is who you should call to take care of all your summer prep! 401-938-3828.

The Importance of Giving Back - Dana Carlson Enterprises Style!

The importance of staying active in our community is a priority here at Dana Carlson Enterprises. After all, our customers encompass our local community and everyone knows that our service to our clientele is absolutely number one! That is why we did not hesitate to sponsor Cane Day Care Center in Wakefield, RI for their annual fundraiser. My children and countless others I know have sent their children to this wonderful center over the year and truly flourished! They rely on private donations and fundraisers to keep their doors open as they lost public funding due to a cut in budgeting. 

Cane is hosting a fundraiser on Saturday May 17th 2014 at the Wakefield Elks Lodge on 60 Belmont Ave from 4pm to 7pm. Come join us there for food, fun and supporting a great cause! Adults are only $10, $5 for children and kids under 2 are free! Contact Cane for any further information!
