Home Safety for the 4th of July

Back to Articles

Tomorrow is the biggest party of the summer, the 4^th of July. Just about everyone will be doing something to celebrate America’s birthday and most likely this will involve a party or BBQ at someone’s home.

At By Carrier we wish everyone a safe and fun 4^th of July weekend and we want to pass along some tips for keeping your home and family safe during the celebration.

Fireworks: One of the time-honored traditions of this festive holiday is lighting off fireworks. If you will be igniting fireworks at your home make sure a responsible adult is supervising the task. Also make sure you have a fire extinguisher or hose nearby to douse any flames out and don’t light fireworks near dry grass. Never aim fireworks towards your home since this can lead to damage to the siding and a possible fire.

Children & Pets: If you have young children or a cat or dog, the 4^th of July can be a nerve-wracking experience. All-day parties, fireworks and loud music can irritate kids and pets so be sure your home has a cool, calm and quiet room where children and pets can get away from the noise. Also, be aware of how your pets react to fireworks and consider leaving them with a friend if they spook easy.

BBQ’s: Chances are there will be some serious grilling going on at your house party. Be careful when operating a charcoal or propane gas grill. Don’t let pets or children too close and always have someone watching over the grill in case of an emergency. When finished grilling, ensure the propane tank is shut off completely and that the cover is put down to prevent any sparks or embers from escaping.

Pool Safety: If your home has a pool it will probably be in use on the 4^th of July. Remember to always have an adult supervise young children in the pool and keep the number of people in the pool at one time to a minimum. Alcohol and pools don’t mix and if a guest has had too much to drink they could be at risk for drowning. Keep an eye out for anyone who has had too much to drink and ensure they don’t get in the pool or behind the wheel of a car.

Customer Testimonials

Heather and I would like to thank you. Our home is beautiful and we cannot say enough about the entire building process. I have to say that when we began the project I had my trepidations. My experience has always been that no one will look out for my interest quite like myself. For that reason, I came by the house almost every day to see the progress. Very quickly you, and your extremely dedicated and loyal crew, put my worries to rest. It was reassuring for me to see just how much time you spent on the job personally overseeing the build. I observed a business that from top to bottom saw quality as essential to longevity in home building. You, your family, and your team must be so proud of what you’ve created.
Thank You,

Blake & Heather Bevier

Chuck and I want to thank you and your entire staff for building our home. Prior to this house we had two homes built and this one was by far the best experience! We enjoyed working with you. With your guidance and suggestions we have a home that is attractive, functional, practical and charming. we never felt pushed into doing more than what we wanted. Our home is so beautiful and so comfortable to live in. I really love my kitchen! From the moment we drove through Samuel’s Crossing and noticed the quality of the homes that were built we knew we had made the right decision to build here. We are proud to tell people our home was built by Carrier. We look forward to many years enjoying our home,the surroundings and neighbors at Samuel’s Crossing.
Sincerely,

Chuck and Cheryl Poppel

Our new home is everything we wanted and expected. We have had numerous compliments in the house, everyone who comes in comments on the various details (high ceilings, woodwork, beautiful windows, etc.). The workmanship is exceptional and it is obvious as you work with Carrier that everyone takes pride in their work.

My wife, Sheila, and I are finally settled in our new home in Essex, Connecticut, a development built by your family. Surprisingly and not usually an expected enjoyable experience the entire process has been smooth and, dare I say, satisfying. Promises were kept and follow ups conducted in a timely manner. Carrier proved to be a quality contractor delivering an excellent product. As a 45 year veteran architect, I should be expected to know one or two things about construction and dealing with contractors. The Carrier family is a cohesive group with professional integrity as a rule of thumb.
Thank you for a job well done!
