Historic Building Restoration

Historic Building Restoration from Kronenberger & Sons can bring that luster back to your historic property. From fixtures, windows, & doors to steeples, clock towers, and copulas, Kronenberger & Sons has the attention to detail and steady handed care to restore historic buildings & elements. Restoring original beauty isn’t the only benefit, however. As the process of restoration often requires the removal of many original construction materials that we now know to be toxic. Asbestos and lead are often found in the construction materials of historic homes. These materials were used up until the 1970’s, when they were finally prohibited. This means that any home older than 50 years of age likely has lead and asbestos inside of it. Even if you’ve had it removed from certain areas of your home, like your basement. This only highlights the added benefits of having these historic buildings restored.

Historic Building Restoration

It’s always wonderful to be able to enjoy a historic building in all it’s originally intended glory. Time takes a toll on everything and historic homes and buildings are especially vulnerable.

Leadership Coaching

Leadership Coaching from Priority Learning can propel you or your employees to greater heights in business. This is not a foreign concept, but leadership can be something that people misunderstand or confuse. Leadership is not management, the two can be entangled, but there is a difference. If you want to lead your people, it’s important to learn what does and does not work. It is also important that you guide your own learning to become the type of leader that suits you. While there are do’s and don’ts in leadership, there are also many different ways to lead that are valid. Take the time with a coach and let Priority Learning help you discover your leadership potential.

Leadership Coaching

Leadership Coaching is a very important service today. Priority Learning is dedicated to leadership and business culture. Every business has a culture. It is defined by its people, but set by its executives, and management. Successful businesses have good leaders in the right places. These leaders aren’t just there to get the job done, but to help their team or subordinates to function well together and create an environment that they look forward to coming in to. This defines the culture of the business. If people dread work, come in to get paid, and don’t care about the success of the business, it’s likely due to the culture of the business, which leaders help shape. Creating healthy business culture requires employees to be invested in their jobs and the success of the business.

Priority Learning helps leaders by teaching them the tools and skills they need to not only become the kind of leader they want to be, but also to start shaping their business culture in the direction that creates more success and a happy work environment. It is not a simple process, but it is fairly easy if you are invested in learning. Contact Priority Learning today by visiting their website to learn more about leadership coaching and their other services.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind cigarette smoking.

Over 4 pCi/L in the air and 4,000 pCi/L in water are dangerous for humans. This is higher than the safe working levels of a nuclear power plant by comparison. If they won’t let nuclear plant workers work in it, it’s definitely too high for you to live in. Your neighbors test result may have no bearing on your own. Radon seeps in from underground. It can go through rock and concrete, and into the basement of your home and up into your living space. It can also contaminate your water source, bringing it into your home through your well.

Easy Fix! Cost Effective!

Maine Radon Pro is ready to test your home or property for you, and install radon mitigation systems into your air quality systems and water filtration.
