It’s the time of year for the Great Maine Kitchen Remodel planning to start. The weather is getting warmer and it will be easier to grill or go out to eat while your contractor is working on updating your kitchen. The Kennebec Company creates gorgeous cabinetry to make your kitchen not only functional but beautiful as well.

Kennebec Company is more than a work place it’s a collaborative team of custom cabinetmakers, designers and engineers. We are based in historic Bath, Maine and have recruited and developed skilled craftspeople who take exceptional pride in their work for decades. Kennebec Company was among the first cabinet companies to specialize in building period-inspired cabinets befitting a period home and enjoys a reputation earned over nearly five decades for exceptional craftsmanship. Today, our talented designers are adept at adapting to fit any style of architecture, and our craftspeople marry the latest efficiencies and features seamlessly with traditional cabinetry techniques. We bring Maine’s reputation for rugged, natural beauty, hard-working skilled craftspeople, and a way of life that emphasizes deep relationships over superficial interactions to every Kennebec Company product.

Here in Maine, our environment is the heart of our industry. This is why we build cabinets in ways that protect the health of our craftspeople, conserve resources, and minimize environmental impact in your home. Our products employ sustainably harvested wood, including plywood that meets LEED program requirements. Our water-based stains and finishes are extremely low VOC and for painted finishes, we use a waterborne alkyd paint that uses waterborne colorants, significantly reducing odor and achieving low-VOC levels. This paint is CHPS certified, qualifies for LEED® credit and meets strict VOC and SCAQMD regulations—even after tinting. And our cabinetry incorporates long-lasting under-cabinet LED lighting. Of course, building cabinetry that will likely never need to be replaced may be the biggest environmental benefit of all.

ProKnee AP16 is the best knee pad you can use if your business has you crawling around on the floor. Some days it seems like life has one crawling around on the floor.

Whether you need wood, tiles, abrasives or finishes you can get it with the help of the friendly experienced people at Independence Floor Supply. They carry machines, tools & supplies as well.

Another great reason to support this company is because they know how to offer help where it’s needed. When the decision was made to shut down public business in 2020 and the need for knee pads and things related to going into others’ spaces dropped this company pivoted to making polycarbonate face shields. These face shields were proudly made in Whitefield, ME helping to maintain employment for many and keeping many more safe.

Our beloved founder, Jeff started Independence in 2012 after over 25 years in the flooring industry – he has experience and knowledge in almost every aspect of flooring – from installation, products, tools, and more – and is not afraid to reach out to industry professionals to get the answers he may not know.

Access Control is a buzz phrase in so many areas of life these days! Who has access and who has control are often the same person or entity. If you live in Maine you may be a person who owns a business, either based in their home or not and being aware of who is coming and going and when is very important! Maine Fire & Security, LLC is a great company to talk to if you have concerns about the access to your property. We live in a digital age and security systems need to follow suit. Keys are easily duplicated and frequently lost. Employee turnover is an every day occurrence and no business owner needs to be worrying if their property is going to be at risk. Utilizing Maine Fire & Security to install an access control system will reduce your stress and improve the flexibility of your scheduling as a business owner. You can allow employees, delivery people, or guests access to your space without needing to be present. Controlling things like what time, who, where and having recorded access to that information will go a long way to making your personal efficiency and overall work life balance better. When access is granted, a door is unlocked, and the event is recorded. The access can even be granted only for a predetermined time. When access is refused, the door remains locked and the attempted access is recorded. These state of the art systems will also monitor doors and alarms should any access be forced open or held open too long after being unlocked. With the remote access features, a touch on your phone app can allow a delivery at your business if you are not there, or let a visitor or contractor into your house while you are away.
