Phantom Screens, the leading manufacturer of retractable screens in North America, selects Bob Michels Construction of North Oaks, Minnesota as their 2016 Impact Winner. The Phantom Screens Impact Award recognizes residential design and building professionals for using innovative products to deliver cutting edge designs that set them above the rest. Impact Award winners have proven that they are committed to enhancing lifestyles and living spaces by integrating Phantom’s retractable screen products into designs that deliver added value and comfort to today’s homeowner. Bob Michels Construction’s submission is a unique space featuring a car carousel which operates both as a space to highlight the owner’s car collection and the functional purpose to turn cars around and drive out of the showroom. Phantom’s retractable screens turned the open-air ramada into a large entertaining and gathering screened porch area with one touch of a button. “Phantom’s retractable screens were used to achieve a desired mix of modern and traditional finishes,” said Andrew Michels, Vice President of Bob Michels Construction. “Phantom Screens is the only company that allowed the customization of this unique space with a long-lasting and sustainable product.” The winner was selected by a panel of Phantom Screen judges and evaluated primarily on design and creativity, market appeal and livability, and product integration.

Hot Tub Installation (Massapequa/NY): One reason Best Hot Tubs specializes in Bullfrog Spas is their virtual leak-proof design. This permitted customized concrete block retaining walls to be added on three sides before adding soil, boulders, and plants. The back side, however, was left open for access to pumps and equipment.

If you think you might be moving at some point, all you need do is drain a portable hot tub/spa. It can be lifted up and taken to another location. Also, unlike an indoor Jacuzzi tub that can take 45 minutes to fill, there is no waiting time for a hot tub: they are always ready to be used. www.longislandhottub.com

A spa vault, says Bill, must be installed in such a way as to appear in-ground but also allow access for service technicians to get inside it for future maintenance. The vault was made of concrete blocks to coordinate with the pool. The base has 6” of crushed stone with concrete poured over it. Vaults can be individually designed, depending on taste and style. The homeowner’s plan called for two sets of wrap-around steps, fitted on two sides of the spa, one set facing the pool and the set facing the house. “This was a great idea. “It appears completely set in-ground from those two vantage points.” Bill adds that he drew some sketches to help the homeowners and their contractor understand how a hot tub and vault work together. “Today’s blog shows us the early stages of this project before the pool was ‘opened,’ etc. and the hot tub put in the vault with the steps. We’re looking forward to sharing photos of the finished job in the near future once we have them. We’re sure it’s going to look amazing.”

The waterfall that flows into the spa can be regulated to keep the water cool in the summer and warm in the winter months. Larger than a regular spa, the spa aspect of this spool feature gives the homeowners a great place to soak and relax in plenty of room, without the work of maintaing a larger size pool. www.longislandhottub.com
