    clients exactly what they want.” Sandra is

    also seeing a trend toward lighter cabinet

    wood tones. “We’re seeing a trend toward the

    use of lighter, almost natural, wood tones in

    flooring and other cabinetry, paired with white

    walls,” said Sandra. “With a dark color on the

    cabinets, white walls calm the room down

    and provide a background where decorative

    accessories stand out. We are also seeing a

    trend toward not filling the space with cabinets

    but opening up the area with decorative items

    such as sconces adjacent to the range hood

    or windows.” Countertops are trending toward

    an elegant, clean and simplistic look. “We still

    do a lot of quartz countertops, but quartzite is

    also trending,” said Sandra. “Quartzite is not

    speckled like granite, but rather it has subtle

    waves of color running through it.”

    The open floorplan concept has necessitated

    design changes. “The open concept has led

    to more beautiful organization in rooms like

    kitchens, where you will see things like cabinets

    with glass inserts that reveal beautiful dishes

    inside,” said designer Sara Filthaut with EW Kitchens. “Instead of a desk in the kitchen, there is a shift toward coffee bars, where all

    the clutter, and sometimes even a microwave,

    is housed within a cabinet which can be closed

    when not in use. It’s like the updated version

    of an appliance garage.” Kitchen islands are

    trending toward being one level and are still

    being treated as furniture pieces. “We often see

    white on the perimeter with a rich dark stain on

    the island cabinets or black lower cabinets with

    lighter cabinets above,” said Sara. Countertop

    materials are still trending toward man-made

    quartz or porcelain that looks like marble.

    “Having a slab backsplash without grout lines

    is popular as is building up the countertop to

    2” thick or more to infuse visual appeal,” said

    Sara. In terms of cabinet hardware, chrome and

    satin nickel are still very popular, and there has

    been a steady increase of brass tones as well.

    “In the past designers typically matched metal

    finishes,” said Sara. “Now we are using a lot of

    mixed metals which work as long as they are in

    the same color tone.”

    The once popular cherry cabinets are now

    waning, according to David Shapiro with ASA Builders Supply / ASA Cabinet Corporation. “Our three top sellers are white or light gray

    painted cabinets or a maple cabinet stained with

    gray tones,” said David. “We are still seeing

    the trend toward shaker doors or recessed

    panel doors similar to the shaker style, but

    with a little more detail.” Organizing items in

    Cabinets and countertops are two of the

    most visible design elements that make

    up a kitchen or bath. Both help to form

    an immediate impression of a home’s style. The

    choices in cabinets and countertops are vast,

    making it possible to create a unique and on-

    trend design statement for each home.

    Designer Sandra Daubenmeyer with KSI’s Macomb design center is seeing a shift toward darker cabinets. “Black cabinets

    are really trending as are dark navy blues and

    dark greens,” said Sandra. “Although the dark,

    moody cabinet finishes are gaining in popularity,

    we are also seeing light colors emerging, like

    sage green, and a lot more custom colors. Many

    of our custom and semi-custom cabinet lines

    are able to paint cabinets using any Sherwin

    Williams or Benjamin Moore paint color. This

    affords us a great opportunity to give our

    cabinets has never been easier thanks to the

    many innovative organizational accessories

    available. “Our most popular organizing options

    include waste basket drawers, spice racks, and

    cooking tray organizers that will hold items like

    large cookie sheets,” said David. “Two-drawer

    pot and pan organizers are also popular, as are

    cutlery dividers in the same wood species as the

    cabinets.”

    Homeowners view their kitchens as

    investments, both in terms of looks and

    functionality. “We find that homeowners

    really loosen up the checkbook and go for

    the multitude of cabinet options that are out

    there, from the rustic look to blue paint and

    all different styles,” said Dave Megge with Carter Lumber. “There really isn’t one trend, except that homeowners prefer user-friendly

    cabinets with accessory items like pot and pan

    drawers, knife holders, and pan lid dividers.

    There seems to be a pull-out accessory for

    every item in the kitchen.” In terms of cabinet

    hardware, Dave sees bigger profile handles

    and the brushed, muted-gold finish as coming

    on strong. “I always view the hardware as the

    jewelry in the kitchen,” said Dave. “It’s what

    draws the eye,” For countertops, granite is still

    the top seller. “Granite has perceived value and

    it looks beautiful,”

    said Dave. “Quartz

    is gaining in

    popularity as are

    the laminates

    which closely

    mimic granite and

    quartz. You actually

    have to really

    examine some of

    the brands to see

    that a granite-look

    laminate isn’t real

    granite. It’s a totally

    different product,

    with more beauty

    and warmth, than

    what was produced

    years ago.”

    The white marble look is still trending in

    countertops. “While white is still popular overall

    in kitchens and baths, some homeowners

    are adding splashes of color whether it’s in

    the countertop itself

    or in the cabinet finish

    or accessory items,”

    said Carol Payto with Mont Surfaces. Quartz is still one of the most

    popular materials for

    countertops because of

    its beauty, durability and

    strength. “We are seeing

    strong sales in both

    our Mont Engineered

    Quartz Collection and

    our Quartzite Collection,”

    said Carol. “Our

    engineered quartz line

    has some stunning light

    and white marble-look

    options and our quartzite

    has whites and grays

    with very unique veining

    or movement with blue,

    gray, black and even

    orange tones.” Mont’s

    Engineered Quartz is

    custom designed to

    complement a wide array of contemporary

    designs and is unique in its movement, color,

    brilliancy and clarity. This highly engineered

    surface combines long lasting beauty with

    durability and strength. “A trip to one of our

    showrooms gives customers the ability to

    actually see the beauty and movement in each

    Silverado Homes Linden, featured in the 2020 HBA Parade of Homes.

    full slab of our engineered quartz and the

    uniqueness in each of our quartzite slabs,”

    said Carol. A popular option

    for backsplashes is Mont’s

    innovative porcelain panels.

    “These 4’ x 8’ panels come

    in a variety of colors and

    marble looks and can also be

    used for flooring, fireplace

    surrounds and shower

    surrounds,” said Carol.

    There are as many

    different elements and

    styles that can make a

    kitchen or bath exceptional

    as there are home owners

    with varied and individual

    tastes and preferences.

    While there are some trends

    in the kitchen cabinet and

    countertop arena, there is also plenty of room

    for creativity and innovation in the design of

    beautiful environments which make a unique

    and individual statement in the kitchen or

    bath in new and remodeled homes. n

  • 4 BUILDING Business & Apartment Management I February 2021

    Based on residential permit data compiled by HBA and reported

    in the HBA/Carter Lumber Southeastern Michigan Residential Building Activity Report™ a total of 309 single-family home (SFH) permits were issued in Macomb, Oakland, St. Clair and Wayne counties in December 2020. The 2020 total for SFH permits across the four counties was 4,067, down nearly 10 percent from 2019 (4,503).

    HBA’s econometric model had forecast 269 permits in December. The higher actual number continues the trend of robust new home construction activity in southeastern Michigan.

    December also marked the seventh consecutive month above 300 permits. In fact, the 7-month period of June through December for 2020 totaled 2,851 permits, over 2 percent higher than the same timeframe in 2019 (2,783).

    From where we were this Spring, finishing 2020 above the 4,000-permit threshold – and down less than 10 percent compared to 2019 – is pretty remarkable. Perhaps what was more remarkable in 2020, Oakland County (1,721) and St. Clair County (154) each exceed their SFH permits issued compared to 2019 (1,717 and 152, respectively).

    The Top 5 municipalities for SFH permits issued were: Canton Twp. (316), Macomb Twp. (310), Shelby Twp. (238), Novi (214) and Chesterfield Twp. (181). Likewise, the Top 5 builders in the 4-county area were: Pulte Homes (486), Lombardo Homes (417), M/I Homes (189), MJC Companies (142) and Toll Brothers (119).

    Totals permits issued for multi-family apartments in 2020 (1,850) showed a much sharper decline compared to 2019 (2,387), a drop of nearly 23 percent. After starting 2020 on-par with 2019, activity quickly fell off once COVID restrictions and related policies were put into place in April. Contrasting with SFH permits, uncertainty related to near-term COVID impacts related to multi-family properties resulted in a 37 percent decline in permits issued during the 7-month period from June to December. n

    Conducting A Safety Audit WRITTEN BY DANIEL ADAY, COMPONE ADMINISTRATORS SAFETY & LOSS PREVENTION SPECIALIST

    Resource Page for current guidance and valuable information.

    covid-19-resources.php

    There is no secret that every company out there is not 100

    percent compliant with every applicable safety standard and regulation at any given point of time. In fact, it is likely that you could go to the top ten safest companies in America and still find safety issues that should be corrected. However, just because it is unlikely that you will ever achieve a 100 percent compliant company, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still set goals to reach 100 percent compliance.

    It is part of the OSHA General Duty Clause to have a workplace that is free from recognized hazards. That means you should be checking for recognized hazards in some fashion. A great way to do this would be through the means of an audit. Audits give us a chance to find issues that are either ignored or not seen by those who are exposed to the hazards. Audits should be conducted by both internal employees and third party personnel to ensure that all potential hazards are seen and corrected before they lead to accidents.

    Internal audits are audits that are performed by employees within your company who

    understand basic OSHA regulations. This could be safety monitors, where safety is a very small part of their job, like supervisors, foreman, maintenance staff, or anyone else who is in the area or work-setting on a daily or weekly basis with a good sense of safety. These individuals will have the greatest understanding of how machines operate, what tools work as they should, and what work is performed and how

    it is done. Additionally, these individuals will be most competent in knowing the exact ins and outs of why certain hazards are neglected or ignored. The information that these employees obtain cannot be substituted by any 3rd party auditor, which gives reason why internal audits are critical to understanding how safety concerns arise and finding long term solutions that work. Internal audits should be conducted on a set schedule, depending on your level of risks and your available resources. This may

    vary between weekly safety audits for those companies who work on-location and the environment is constantly changing, to monthly or quarterly in working environments that have very little day to day changes.

    Third party audits are audits that are conducted by a trained safety professional who is familiar with the work that your company performs. These audits allows for a new set

    of eyes to come in and inspect your work, facility, or job-site. Having a qualified safety inspector who knows any and all applicable safety regulations is critical to ensuring that you are within compliance and are covered if a random OSHA inspection occurs. Third party inspections can range from very specific inspections in a certain area or job

    location, to spot check style audits to see from a general view if your company is moving in the right direction, to a complete wall-to-wall (or site line to site line) inspection. These audits should be conducted usually on an annual basis and there should be some form of a written report generated that indicates your company’s area of strengths and where there could be improvements. Additionally, unless asked otherwise, almost all third party auditors keep the information confidential between the auditor and the company being audited, so there is no sense in trying to hide or cover up any safety issues. Another great reason for a third party audit is that auditors are able to give you corrective action examples for improvements.

    If you need some assistance creating your own internal audit, or if you are interested in having a third party auditor come on-site and conduct any level of safety audit for you, CompOne is able to help! We have created an extensive audit with 25 different sections that covers everything from incident investigation to powered industrial trucks and everything in-between. Additionally, if you would like to improve or even create a safety, machine, equipment, or general audit that can be completed by one of your own employees on a set schedule but are unsure of where to start, we are able to assist with that as well. Feel free to give me a call at 734-309-3456 or email me at [email protected]. n

    Emotional Support Animal Legislation Vetoed By Governor Whitmer

    In a disappointing end to the 2019-2020 Michigan Legislative Session, Governor Whitmer vetoed the emotional support animal legislation supported

    by AAM and other rental property organizations. The veto came on the heels of Senate passage of

    the bills on December 18th. The Michigan House of Representatives originally passed the bills in March of 2020, and then concurred the Senate-amended legislation on December 21st. As you may recall, this legislation was a two-bill effort to help prevent the false representation of possession of an emotional support animal (ESA). The first bill, House Bill 4910, would have created the “Misrepresentation of Emotional Support Animals Act.” This bill proposed:

    • A definitional framework for state law• Bars individuals and health care providers from falsely representing

    a disability or possession of an ESA• Allow disability documentation requests by housing providers after

    resident signs authorization• Requirements for health care providers who prescribe ESAs• Penalty provisions for violations of the law• Allowance for lease termination for false representation• Directive to the Michigan Department of Civil Rights to establish a

    hotline which would receive reports of false representations and complaints

    The second bill, House Bill 4911, would have amended the Revised Judicature Act to support termination of a lease for misrepresentation of an emotional support animal.

    In her veto letter, the Governor stated, “While I appreciate the intent behind these bills – to ensure that housing providers are able to verify

    the need for emotional support animals – these bills result in too great an intrusion on the privacy of people with disabilities.” Encouragingly, however, the Governor committed to working toward a compromise on the issue. The final sentence of her letter states, “Nevertheless, I look forward to working with the legislature to craft a solution that strikes a better balance between the need of housing providers to verify information and the privacy rights of people with disabilities.” With the veto and the end of the legislative session, the bills will need to be reintroduced in 2021 and the process starts over. n
