Rocky Mountain Village's kitchen needed a facelift. On top of that, the Easter Seals of Colorado handicap accessible camp in Empire needed to be able to cater to the special dietary needs of kids — and adults —who stay at the camp.
So they turned to Dave Jackson, CAPS, a long-time friend of the organization — and a remodeler. The owner of Jackson Design Build did a complete kitchen overhaul for Easter Seals, with all new appliances, flooring, finishes, sanitation equipment and lighting. He even resurfaced the dining hall floor.
After nine months of planning, the remodeler was finished in under six weeks, and in time for summer camp. Jackson said, "The big gain was they were able to serve special dietary needs in another line. It was way past due."
He's also active in the Home Builders Foundation, which is how he met the Easter Seals folks. A few years ago, Jackson spearheaded building a 27-bed facility for the non-profit organization, which was funded by the Home Builders Foundation. "We weren't able to donate everything, but we were able to get a lot of work done for them at very discounted prices," he noted.
Jackson has been in the homebuilding industry for more than 30 years and in business since 1997. He works on larger projects that other contractors "tend to pass on because they're too difficult," he said. "Like the Easter Seals camp. We're doing a remodel on a castle in town. Crazy, the things that aren't typical run of the mill."
