Liberty Devitto- Drummer for Billy Joel band for 30 years. Liberty In 1968, the same year he graduated from high school, after constant practice, (playing to records – Liberty never took lessons) and playing in local bands, he received a phone call from a guy that said he was Mitch Ryder’s tour manager.  He said Mitch’s drummer was very sick and they needed someone to fill in.  Liberty said, “When?”  They said “Tonight.”  Next thing he knew he was on stage with Mitch, taking cues from the sax player.  They did “Jenny Takes a Ride”,  “Devil with a Blue Dress”, “Sock it to Me Baby”, and others.  That tour lasted for 6 weeks, playing up and down the East Coast.

Right after Mitch Ryder, Liberty got a gig with Long Island alumni, Richie Supa, and had his first recording experience.  The album “Supa’s Jamboree” was recorded in Atlanta, 1969-70, and was produced by Buddy Buie of the Classics 4 and Atlanta Rhythm Section Fame.  The album was released on Paramount Records and a tour immediately followed.  The band sometimes opened for groups like the James Gang and Grand Funk Railroad. Then one day, a friend, who was playing weddings at a catering hall, asked if Liberty would sit in for him.  Liberty said, during those years the group Topper was formed.  The band consisted of Liberty on drums, Doug Stegmeyer on bass, Russell Javors on guitar and vocals, Howie Emerson on guitar, slide guitar and dobro. The band had a sound of it’s own, with all original material. Topper, with the addition of sax player Richie Cannata, eventually became Billy Joel’s band.

In 2003, Liberty DeVitto signed on as an official supporter of Little Kids Rock, a nonprofit organization that provides free musical instruments and instruction to children in underserved public schools throughout the U.S.A. Liberty has personally delivered instruments to children in the program, performed at benefit events for the cause, and sits on the organization’s Honorary Board of Directors.

Green Sets the Scene

We are all looking for a way to find environmentally friendly alternatives to everyday life. When it comes to your home there should be no difference. This particular post will be focused on efficient heaters and cooling units. This is something we can all relate to because we either live where it’s hot or its cold. If you have a sophisticated heating and cooling system in your basement or anywhere in your home, chances are you are spending way too much on energy bills and that unit is nothing close to “green”.

Most units made before the year 2005 use to much energy than it needs to. Let’s talk about a few new models that will save you money in the long run and keep our mother earth around a little longer. Brands like Amana and Energy Star focus on saving energy with their products.

Saving Money

Other companies have jumped on the ban wagon as well and all you have to do is shop around. Not to mention, these “green” additions or alterations to your home will save you tons of money on your bills. Using less energy means a significantly lower bill, who doesn’t like the sound of saving money?

Now, if you live in a state such as New York or New Jersey where some homes do not come with central AC, there are individual units that fit the bill as well. For apartment dwellers a good “green” tip is to set your AC or Heat to automatic and leave it around 75 degrees F in the summer and 68 degrees F in the winter.

More “green” coming soon

Believe it or not, and automatic setting uses less energy in most cases because if you leave you AC off all day, to cool your home back down will take twice as much energy than to have it cool once it reaches a baseline line temperature throughout he home.  More “green” coming soon.

Construction Meets Real Estate!

Sumber Construction is dedicated to managing all of your home improvement and property remodeling  needs in Broward, Dade, and Palm Beach Florida.  We offer general repair work, electrical, drywall repair, water damage restoration, plumbing, carpentry, painting, masonry and much more.

Since Sumber Inc. has decided to develop a brand new department (Real Estate Investment) we’ve been hit with how important it is the build a relationship with small home improvement businesses in different areas. Because we specialize in Home Improvement, we have completely cut out the middle man and can truly create a huge source of income for our company. These two businesses work hand in hand. Without repairing our investment properties we will have no way of selling for profit, and our profit is higher because we aren’t hiring a third party to do the job. Magnificent!

The markets (areas) we have decided to start investing in are Broward and Palm Beach Counties primarily, and if there are good deals in Miami- Dade we are open to those as well. It’s quite interesting how it all works, and surprisingly simple. We purchase homes that no one would even think of buying, fix them up and sell them below market value in about 30 days.  Some homes we flip for a quick profit of 10K or we put extra TLC into a property and make around 30K in the process. Since our Launch of this new department took place March 15^th 2012 we are still in the works of getting it stable. But June 2012 we will be in full swing with our Investment Properties.

As always is a pleasure working in South Florida! Feel free to contact us with any home improvement needs, and yes if you’re looking to sell your home FAST, give us a shout as well.

Here is some contact information!

The home improvement market value was 290 billion as of 2009 and has grown 3.5 percent on average annually given that the industry captures a large share of the residential investment market. So we are super excited to get started servicing everyone all over South Florida.
