Research often leads to new discoveries
Throughout this restoration process and the research involved, we have been amazed by the number of folks we have stumbled upon who within a few moments of discovery have left us in awe of their committment to making the world a better place. We don't intentionally set out to find these individuals or companies, but when we come across them we are humbled by their honesty and willingness to give back and help others. One such company that we discovered by researching historic "four over four" replacement sash windows is Smith Restoration Sash in Providence, Rhode Island. Justin Smith has a page on his company's website that moved us deeply. It is entitled, "Giving Back" and it begins with these words, "Having been afforded the opportunity to flourish as a small company through a combination of luck, access to capital and hard work Smith Restoration Sash actively participates in various organizations that are devoted to helping others achieve their own goals."
Justin Smith's website and his endorsement of Heifer International, Kiva.org, and the Fairplay Foundation impressed us so much that we are compelled to link to it here.
