Upcoming Events

There's a full schedule of events coming up at Snow and Jones. 

On Tuesday April 6th we are hosting an "Opening Day" cookout at our Plymouth branch. Come for a baseball themed lunch, a fast pitch contest, and plenty of prizes donated by Kohler and Weil-McLain.  Red Sox tickets will be raffled off too, so don't miss out!  The cookout runs 11:00am-2:00pm at 126 Long Pond Rd. in Plymouth.

On Wednesday April 7th we are hosting the President of Kohler's Faucet Division for cocktails/apps/and a custom shower training.  We will be networking with local luxury designers/builders/architects and plumbers.  If you are interested in attending this event, please email us.

We are also preparing to host two "Spa Days" with Grohe.  We will be taking 8-10 customers to our showrooms for a catered breakfast, training on Grohe faucets, and then we will travel to a local spa for some pampering.  We did this event a few years ago and it was a huge hit. 

NARI Cape Cod has also been busy coordinating training for the EPA RRP Lead Certification classes.  If you are a contractor of any type (building/HVAC/electrical/Plumbing) and work on homes built before 1978, you NEED this certification.  Visit NARI Cape Cod to get more information and see the available spaces left.

New Kohler 2010 Bathroom Products

In anticipation of the 2010 International Builders Show (IBS) Kohler has started releasing new products.  Some of the new bathroom products are exciting and sure to be big hits with our customers.

Several new vanities have been released in the Persuade suite.  These vanities are all 24" and offer an intergral top.  These vanities offer simple storage solutions for small spaces, and come at very affordable prices. 

The new Expanse Curved Apon tub allows for more room within a standard 5' tub opening.  A matching curved curtain rod is also available. 

Released late in 2009, the Flipside handshower offers users a unique showering experience by a head that rotates with four different sprays.  The Flipside handshower is now on display in the Norwell and Yarmouth showrooms. 


To see more new bathroom products from Kohler, please visit the New Bathroom Products website.  We will post new kitchen products soon.

Remodeling FAQ

Remodeling can be scary for homeowners who haven't done a project before.  The National Assocation of the Remodeling Industry has assembled a list questions most asked to remodelers.  Hiring a remodeler can be tricky.  Check out their website to learn what questions you SHOULD be asking!

Questions to Ask your Remodeler

Canned Food Drive

The Third Annual Snow and Jones Canned Food Drive to benefit the Harwich Family Pantry begins today!  Simply donate 5 cans or $5.00 to any Snow and Jones branch and in exchange for your donation you will receive a Snow and Jones sweatshirt.  All proceeds go directly to the Harwich Family Pantry.  Last year we donated almost $2,000 worth of diapers, formula, and food to the pantry.  Please help us make this year a success!

Universal Design- Do You Want It?

The building and remodeling industry is making a big push for Universal Design for residential construction.  Universal Design is not "handicapped accessible" design. It is design to be accomdating for everyone and incorporates a more attractive design style. Then National Assocation of Home Builders and the MetLife Mature Market Institute surveyed mature homeowners and renters about what features they prefer.

Builders responded to the survery as well, citing lever-handles, wider doors and hallways, full bath on entry level floors, to be priority items.  However, homeowners valued non-slip floors, larger storage, lower cabinets, and emergency call buttons.

Sandra Timmermann, director of MetLife Mature Market Institute, says that, "The data suggests that builders will have to be more tuned in to consumer needs, but potential buyers may be somewhat shortsighted as well."

We think that homeowners and builders alike need to be aware of their options, how it will affect their design, and budget, and listen to the needs being put out there.  A full bath on the entry level is not just in case an elderly person needs it- your child  may break a leg and getting her/him upstairs may be a challenge.  Grab bars in showers do not have to look instiutional.  Grab bars are great for women shaving, for children showering, and also for people as they get older.  Kohler makes traditional, contemporary, and faucet-matching grab bars.

If you have any questions on design or how to make your bathrooms and kitchens more functional, don't hesitate to call!
