Lantern Bay

Gene DeCollibus of Lantern Bay Interiors and Flooring has been creating beautiful floors for nearly four decades. After 38 years in Dana Point, Gene relocated his store this past month to the Capistrano Business Center off Ortega Highway in San Juan Capistrano. Although he may be a couple miles further away from his daily ocean view, he’s loving his new showroom and warehouse. Gene added that he now has his shortest commute to work ever, and that’s a huge plus. 

After being raised on the east coast in Buffalo, New York, Gene made his way out west and settled in Dana Point in the early 1980s. With the start of his new family, he sought the opportunity to work closer to home so he opened Lantern Bay Carpets & Flooring on PCH near Blue Lantern in 1984. Gene raised four kids through the years, and he proudly will share photos of any of his six grandchildren. 

Anyone who meets Gene will be impressed by his energy and friendly disposition. Though his voice still maintains a hint of his east coast upbringing, Gene has become California cool. At an age when many contemporary flooring veterans may be looking at exit plans for their business, Gene appears invigorated by his new move. Along with his trusted employee Susan, Lantern Bay is humming right along at their new home. 

“My customers make it a pleasure to do business here in the community. I owe them tremendous thanks for the success of Lantern Bay,” stated Gene. His company motto says it all… “Lantern Bay Interiors and Flooring — Where Quality and Service Comes First.” 

Lantern Bay has an array of wood, vinyl, carpet and area rugs to fit your flooring needs. They also have window coverings to complete your rooms. From high-end luxury to budget-friendly values, they have something to meet everyone’s needs.

Dave Colbert

DC Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning

In South Orange County, you’ve almost certainly seen one of the DC Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning trucks. And since owner Dave Colbert’s image appears on all five of his company’s vehicles, you’re sure to recognize Dave himself.

A U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Dave settled in San Clemente and began his professional career. For over thirty years, “DC” has been providing professional plumbing and HVAC services to residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal customers throughout the county. “We do everything,” Dave says, “from regular maintenance to remodels, to real estate inspections and repairs.”

The company also offers “smart” home installations, like Nest thermostats, which allow you to control the temperature from an app on your phone. “Have you ever gone on vacation and returned home to a plumbing disaster? There’s an app for that, too!” adds Dave. “We install Flowlogic, a device placed on your main water service line that detects water leaks and shuts the water off for you. The Flowlogic app sends an alert to your phone.”

Not an app person? A new, cost-efficient water heater may be for you. “The Noritz tankless water heater is just bullet-proof. It comes with a 25-year warranty (regular water heaters only last 8 to 10 years) and energy rebates of up to $1000. We install at least two a week,” shares Dave.

His advice to every homeowner is simple. “Maintenance is the key to making things work long-term. Equipment and systems should be inspected once or twice a year. Filters require regular cleaning and replacement. If you don’t maintain your systems, you’re eventually going to have to replace them,” Dave advises.

DC Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning offers expert repair, maintenance, and new installation services. The team provides 24-hour emergency services, custom build-outs for new homes, and installation of the latest, smart home offerings available. For more information, call 949-365-9044 to learn what DC can do for you.

Dave Smith

Capistrano HardwoodsWhen veteran carpenter Dave Smith de-cided to open his own supply house, he searched for a location that was in desper-ate need of a quality lumber and specialty hardwood warehouse. He discovered San Juan Capistrano, a city located far south in the county. Tradesmen were accustomed to driving up to Anaheim to locate the exact moldings and custom woodworking solutions for their customers. In 1989, Dave opened Capistrano Hardwoods, off of Ave-nida Aeropuerto, where he and his team of experienced professionals have been de-livering quality, hard-to-find woodworking solutions ever since.

The business serves homeowners, do-it-yourselfers and tradesman with prices that beat the big box home improvement stores for moldings, windows and doors. “I’m thrilled to have been able to build a quality reputation for Capistrano Hard-woods these past thirty-two years,” states Dave, “Our amazing employees continue to provide excellent customer service and our customers are the most loyal clientele I’ve ever seen.”

When you need quality interior finish de-sign services, visit Capistrano Hardwoods. The friendly staff has the knowledge and experience to answer all of your ques-tions and concerns. Since the showroom is open 6 days a week, they are able to serve weekend DIY-ers. They pride themselves on answering all their customers’ ques-tions in order to provide the best choice for their project.

As the staff often conveys to new custom-ers on the phone, “We’re just down the street from The Coach House.” That’s a landmark with which most Orange County residents are familiar.

From moldings to hardwood lumber and custom windows to barnwood doors, Capistrano Hardwoods prides itself on its extensive inventory. They also have a huge variety of cabinet hardware, staircase and banister options. Save yourself the time of driving to a big box hardware store with elusive customer service, or traveling 45 minutes on the freeway to central Orange County. Simply stop by to speak with Ken, Zack, Izzy and the team for your next project, big or small.
