Welcome to KingstonCitizens.org’s STOP, SHOP and GET TO KNOW.
This week, July 3rd – July 10th we are featuring local craftsman Hugh Cummings of Hugh Name It Builders working out of the city of Kingston.
Hugh Cummings was a gold mine find and is someone who I have personally gotten to know over the years through a plethora of projects. As the steward of an older home, it matters to me who comes in to work on it. Hugh is not only sensitive to the need to be green (by working towards his LEED certification), he cares deeply about his work, and those he contracts in to work with him. From the smallest of tasks – to building a home, I highly recommend he be your first call for a free estimate.
Hugh is also responsible for building the Victory Garden raised bed at Kingston’s City Hall. The beautiful cedar logs were locally harvested and lovingly assembled.
Let’s keep Hugh walking to work. If you have an older home here’s an idea: consider discussing weatherproofing by caulking all the cracks (like we did!). It’s a simple measure that can save energy and money. Hugh can also install a rain barrel at your home to harvest stormwater to use in your garden. All simple thoughts to help save you money while making our city a more sustainable one — one house at time.
Keep it local…
