Legal Eagle Contractors, Co. invites you to ENJOY YOUR IDEA CENTER EXPERIENCE
Welcome!
Our concept: See sample ideas and products installed in a real house… ‘could be your house’!
Obviously we don’t have every tile color, paint chip and remodeling product in here. That’s not the point. This is not a “showroom” – we have great vendor-partners for that. It is a place to explore new concepts and imagine what might work in the spaces you call home. It is a place to see our creative juices at work. We have installed “embedded” universal design and “aging-in-place” design ideas wherever possible. These enable you to see and compare ideas. See if you can spot them!
Maybe you can pick your bath light fixture on the internet, but a skylight? No way! What does it really look like installed? Will it be hot? How much natural light will it bring in? Is the bang worth the bucks? Do I like it?
Seeing is believing, and this is a place to see ideas, play with the cool stuff and see what they might be like in your house!
When you see this symbol: → it means “Try It!”
Features not to miss:
ENTRY AREA
- Where is the front door threshold? The front door has no threshold, so our physically challenged clients can roll in smooth as butter without a bump. What keeps the draft and critter cooties out? The door has a unique retractable door bottom that seals when the door is closed and lifts when the door is swung open. Check it out by opening and closing the door slowly, looking at the small pin at the bottom (hinge side) of the door.
- The front door looks like mahogany, but it’s really insulated fiberglass.
- Package shelf on wall by front porch. A convenient place to put a bag of groceries while you fumble for the right key.
- → Inside, the Pella window has internal pleated shades. Try them!
- Security camera views can be watched from any computer in the office, or anywhere you can get on the internet.
- Use your elbow. Lever handle locks make it easier to get in if your hands are full.
- Glass & metal garden lights make the entry pathway safer at night and also enhance the landscaping. These are safely wired, not

POWDER BATH
