Many years ago when my husband and I came to Bethany, the “scene” was very different. But, that’s what we liked about it. Small town, great place to bring up a family. Through my children I met most of my friends. Some I saw frequently and some just once in a while. One thing is for sure; all those friends are still there.
I met Mike Cummings and his family at the Pyle Center in Roxanna. Yeap, we were in Little League. Rain or shine; early mornings and at times early evenings, as well. Roxanna is near Bethany Beach. I am sure Mike remembers all that. We were also on the same team. I have forgotten if we were good or not.
Through the years I have met parents through sports and some were very intense. Mike is one of the few people that I know that has kept it constant. Even temper, friendly, caring, good sense of humor, and a consummate professional in his work. It was like that then, and it is now, as well.
He is the Founder and CEO of Miken Builders, located at 32782 Cedar Drive, Millville, DE 19967. Tel. 302-537-4444. Cell 302-381-0773 and website, www.mikenbuilders.com. You can find Miken Builders on Facebook.
The website will give an insight on this commercial and residential construction company. You can also find them on the right hand side of my website and just with a click you will have direct access into his site.
Through the years Miken Builders has built a reputation as a company that is well respected in the community with high standards and superior craftmanship.
Mike’s company has received so many awards in construction and renovation from Associated Builders & Contractors. You can see those on the website, and you will also be able to see other awards and memberships in charitable organizations. Yes, Mike and his company have given back to the community.
Personally, I can recommend Miken Builders fully. I just used the company to do renovations in my house. His staff, well, I cannot say enough. Suggestions, designs, and carrying the job through in the most efficient way was good to see and experience.
Under Miken Builders, there is BetterLiving Patio & Sunrooms of Delmarva. Same address, but the telephone is 302-251-0000. Website? www.betterlivingdelmarva.com. This Miken Builders’ company is the exclusive provider of Betterliving 3-season, year-round sunrooms and awnings. They can transform an unused deck or patio into a totally different room; a focal point of your home.
No job is too small for Miken Builders. You can call Mike personally. I just gave you his cell and have him give you an estimate for any work needed around your house. If you are planning on building a house in the Delmarva Peninsula, you will not be disappointed if you are dealing with him, his company, and staff.
Talk to you later….have a good one!!

Different events happened in my life in 2010. One of them was a kitchen fire in my place in Delray Beach. We were lucky that nobody was hurt. All of a sudden companies were knocking on our doors to ‘help us” get our place back together. I could not believe it. It was like they were attached to a radio, following fire and flood disasters.
Since my place of residence is Delaware, I do have a Property Manager in Delray Beach. I have written about him in the past. His name is Michael Keegan and his company is Beach House Managemenht, LLC. It is located at 777 E. Atlantic Ave., Suite Z-307, Delray Beach, FL 33483. Tel. 561-376-4329. Beach House Management is also one of my advertisers. So, visit the website by just clicking on it on the right hand side of this site. In it you will learn about the company, the services they provide, links, and other important information.
I have known Michael for years and I am not ashame to say that I could not live without him. He has been a constant since we first purchased in Delray. My family has certainly kept his property management services busy. And it does not stop there. He has also helped my children while in Delray so many times.
Having a property manager means to me peace of mind; it is not a luxury, but a necessity. He is always there; just a phone call away. That’s exactly what happened back on April, 2010 when there was a kitchen fire. Michael was at our place on that moment’s notice already contacting the people that were important at that time.
He introduced us to Dan Palmer. He owns J. Palmer, Inc., located at 3805 Investment Lane, Riviera Beach, FL 33404. Tel. 561-848-7114, toll free 800-824-4997. They are General Contractors, specializing in insurance restoration and remodeling. Also involved in general property repairs and maintenance.
Dan was incredible. The fire happened in April and I probably met Dan in late June. But, every Monday he called us with the updates. Yes, our conversations were all handled through the telephone. He took care of emptying the contents of our place. He had everything cleaned. He dealt with the insurance company. That is his specialty. I trusted him so much that he picked my appliances, tiles, kitchen faucet and gave me directions on how to get through something like this without falling apart. Easy, one day at a time. He is cool, calm and collected.
The place has turned out so nice, so here are the results, after kitchen replaced, floors replaced, furniture and clothing cleaned, painting, replacing curtains (he brought the fabric samples). It really was definitely a lot of work for Dan, but he got it done.
I even had him put a cabinet, countertop and sink in a half bath that was not part of the restoration.
But wait, I am not finished. There was water damaged upstairs and another claim had to be filed and floors replaced. He took care of it all.
If you find yourself in this type of situation, please do not hesitate to call Dan Palmer. You have the telephone numbers. He has been extremely professional; I cannot say enough. I recommend his company fully, just like I recommend Beach House Management, as well.
Have a great week-end….talk to you later…..
