Bathroom Remodeling
Master Bathroom
Commonly located within or near the master bedroom, the master bathroom is an extension of the master bedroom. Some prefer to mirror the design of the master bedroom. As an extension of the master bedroom, you may want it to be suited for the usage of two people. Sometimes, two people may be using it simultaneously, and surely you’ll want to have storage of accessories, linens, and other toiletries for both individuals.
Master bathrooms often feature a long counter with a double sink for simultaneous usage by two people. Space should be available on the countertop for grooming accessories during usage and nearby storage that is at easy reach. Depending on the availability of size, you can have a private toilet area and possibly a separate bath and shower which can be used simultaneously when required.

Guest Bathroom
Although the guest bathroom is usually smaller in size than others, it doesn’t have to be inferior. After all, this is part of you serving your guests. You want the guest bath to reflect the style and the level of hospitality you offer to the people who visit your home.
There is a misconception that since this is a smaller size bathroom, the cost should be equally less and even much quicker to finish when it comes to a bathroom renovation. Although the size is smaller, we need to understand that most of the same components are part of this smaller bathroom as well. It is surprising for many that the smaller bathroom is only a bit quicker to remodel and a bit less expensive than the others. This bath also requires the same quality professionals to do the work.
Make sure to sketch out a plan for this remodel just as you would for a house. In actuality, the smaller space demands even more planning than for a larger bathroom The placement of the toilet, bath or shower, and the sink, all needs to be carefully outlined. Don’t take anything for granted. Check various designs as you don’t want to regret a particular design after the work is done. When planning your bathroom remodeling project it is advised to take it slow and collect the key factures that you and your family need to have in a bathroom.
Custom Bathroom
Maybe your bathroom looks tired and worn out. The style and fixtures seem to be from a past age and time that you don’t want to reflect on. It’s also possible that you bought the home where you loved everything else about the design except the bathroom. Easily, your bathroom renovation can be made to your custom taste and design. As a general contractor, we carefully design that perfect bathroom that will suit your family's needs.
Build in a fresh look with a modern update. Add more storage space for your growing family. Put in extra safety features for your children, Install a larger counter with dual sinks for the kids. You may even want to add a shower alongside your tub for flexibility. How about a larger window to bring in more light? Whatever features you might want to add, you will have that freedom with a custom bath suited to meet your requirements.
Handicap Accessible Bathroom
The number of wheelchair users continues to increase in the United States, and the current numbers stand at about 30 million. As the ageing population in our nation increases, these numbers continue to rise. Those with age related challenges are seeking for ways to perform independently as they live in their homes.
The bathroom has the potential to be a dangerous place for everyone in the home, especially those who are physically challenged. Accessibility is the primary concern for those who use wheelchairs, walkers, and crutches. It is vital that enough space is allotted for free and easy movement from the sink to the toilet, or from the toilet to the bathtub, shower or other areas in the bathroom. For better wheelchair accessibility, the sink must not have a cabinet beneath it. Each of these accessibility considerations are much beyond the view of most people who do not deal with a handicap issue. One has to think from the perspective of those who face such challenges.
Safety is another vital concern. The records show that more than ⅔ of emergency visits to the hospitals are because of falls in the bathroom. For young adults, the tub and shower are the most susceptible places. But for the elderly, the area near the toilet seems to be more dangerous. Wet floors, lack of space, bending and lifting requirements are among the causes of injury. Proper installation of a sufficient number of grab bars, gives a sense of security throughout the bathroom area. Non slip floors, anti-scalding mixing valves, and other items that enhance safety are a must.
Bathroom Tile and Plumbing Installation
Floor & Wall Tiling
The look of your floor and wall tiles will impact your entire bathroom. You also may not know that there are many types of tiles available. The most common are ceramic and porcelain tiles. But the list expands even further to glass, cement, metal, stone, and many more. It is easy to get overwhelmed as you consider all the options available to you. But as you sit for your remodel consultation and share your needs, you will be guided to the best option for you. Of course, you can’t forget your budget. If you’re thinking of an entire bathroom overhaul (which is the best approach), you may be stretching your budget as well.
When you’re looking for durability, ceramic is the way to go. If you’re looking for easier upkeep, you want to opt for porcelain tiles. Porcelain also emulates a natural stone, brick or wood look. If you want stain resistant tiles, Glass tiles might be your choice. But the drawback is the possibility to chip at the edges. Cement tiles have been used since the 19th century, and there has been some comeback in the recent years. There are some great benefits to cement tiles but maintenance becomes a major concern.
Shower, Toilet & Sink Plumbing and Fixtures
It seems that plumbing fixtures are the celebrity figures in a bathroom. You can select fancy and trendy items that will add a special touch to your bathroom if your budget allows you. Otherwise, you can choose functional value-engineered products that will accomplish your purpose.
With a shower fixture, you don’t have to be limited to the traditional styles. Be innovative and select something that will massage your body with body sprayers. Rain shower heads are an excellent item to give you that feel of bathing in the rain. Dual fixtures allow more than one person to shower at the same time. Remember that your choices are more vast than ever before, so let your imagination move you.
Toilets with a higher setting seem to be more comfortable for most homeowners. The full lineup of available toilets may make it difficult for you to choose, but you still need to consider your bathroom renovation budget. But the decision needs to be made between function and budget. The higher cost items are more difficult to produce where more detail is involved in the design.
Some prefer a special look for their sinks with the vessel sink. But for a full bathroom or a master bathroom, the deep, undermount sink with a good arching faucet with a single handle seems to be the best option. But you have to consider what is more important to you -- the look or the usage. That’s your choice.
Tower Fixtures
When you want a totally different shower experience, you may want to opt for the tower fixture. In this system, the shower head, hand shower, body jest and all the controls are fitted into one tall, full sized column. The panel houses the pipes and fixtures to make this fully functional. These fixtures are all hidden under this panel and you get a neat looking finish to the product. Many of these products also come with an anti-scalding technology to make sure you get a safe shower. All of this for an amazing time in the shower.

Kitchen Remodeling
The Reason Why Kitchen Remodeling Is Important For Your Family
Kitchens are much more than what they used to be in the past. Now, they are more than a place to cook your meals. They are a place of connection, interaction, fun, and entertainment, all in the process of cooking, heating up food, and eating. When looking into kitchen remodeling it is often a fun process in which you get to tailor the kitchen design around your family's needs. For many families, the kitchen has become like a den, a place for people to hang out and enjoy the company of others in the family and even friends.
For some, the kitchen is still only a place to cook food. Others use it only to heat up food, make coffee, or other types of light cooking. Some consider cooking as their hobby and will have an extensive variety of cooking utensils, equipment, and ingredients for a vast array of culinary delights. There are still some who are very traditional and like their kitchens “hidden” from the view of the living room. In this setup, the cooking is often done by one person, and when it is completed, the rest of the family is called into the dining room for the meal. Such traditions still do exist.
Whatever your purpose and practice are, your kitchen needs to reflect that. Below are a few factors to keep in mind as you set out to remodel your kitchen to match your usage and style.
Kitchen Remodel Services
Custom Kitchens
The best way to have your kitchen remodeled is to have it custom designed and built. In this way, you can have it designed according to your needs. With the changing trends in our society, kitchens have become more than a place to cook your meals. They serve a multi purpose now and you may want to remodel according to your current needs.
The process is not complex nor is it a mystery. After sitting with family members to determine the needs of each person, make a list of ideas. Along with these ideas and some samples from the internet, meet with a kitchen remodeling specialist who can guide you through the process. Although the expense will be a bit higher than just choosing a pre-modeled kitchen, you will have a kitchen custom built according to the needs of your family. Some custom features for your kitchen design you can add to your newly renovated kitchen are custom kitchen cabinets and even a standalone guest bar.
Custom Cabinetry
The beauty of custom cabinetry is that it begins with rough lumber to create your kitchen according to your taste. A variety of wood can be used for kitchen cabinets, including the most popular such as maple, cherry, and oak. The beauty of nature comes right into your home with fresh lumber, right from the forest.
The build is set to your space and to your style. Your kitchen should reflect your home and the preference of your family. The height and width of the cabinets will properly coincide with the size of your kitchen space giving you a properly arranged placement. Each piece is made to order, according to your specifications.
You will love the finish of your cabinets for a long time to come. According to your choice, we’ll use paint, lacquer, stain, tint, and finish your cabinets. There is a wide set of options for color and texture as well. Everything will be custom designed for you.
Small Kitchen Remodeling
When your space is limited, your kitchen design can be a challenge. But it shouldn’t be impossible. Sure, you can’t have all the options that a large kitchen can offer, but you can have a comfortable kitchen that meets your needs within the context of your small space. It can be done.
Usually, the common purpose of the small kitchen is for meal prep, which makes function, the main theme here. Be sure that your appliances and work areas are given priority. Due to the minimal size, you’ll need to select appliances according to your space as well. You can still have most of the functions you perform with a large kitchen, but all in a scaled down version.
Large Kitchen Remodeling
Although with higher costs, large kitchen remodeling can be fun and invigorating. You will have more freedom to choose your appliances without limitations of space. You won’t have to cram things into small spaces. You can be completely intentional and focused as you plan your large kitchen.
You also get the complete freedom to use the kitchen as your family desires. It can turn into a family room of sorts where kids do their homework, crafts, and other fun things as a family. Entertainment is also a vital part of the kitchen these days with screens, and a variety of devices. All the while the prep work and cooking goes on in the kitchen.
Traditional Kitchen Remodeling
Attention to detail and embellishments add character with charm when you design a traditional kitchen. You can still have all the storage you need plus the functions you want to perform in your kitchen. It takes extra effort to create detail that is eye-catching and magnificent. These are all part of a traditional kitchen.
Your style may be Coastal, Old World or even Mediterranean, but all traditional kitchens share some of the same basic aspects. Choose your own mix of kitchen cabinets colors, finishes, along with the appropriate counter depths for a custom, furniture-style look that’s appealing in a traditional kitchen design.
Basement Remodel
Design and Planning
The basement can be the place that will give you more freedom in choosing what you want to do with your remodel. You can be free to express yourself. Begin the basement remodel and planning by asking what you want to use the space for. If you're only thinking of a media room, then just a powder room is needed. But if you consider the option of a guest room along with a media space, then you want a full bath and maybe even a small kitchen.
It’s common for people to design a dual purpose space. Some combine a media room with a guest room. Others prefer a fitness area and an office space. The laundry room can be closed off so the rest of the basement is free for entertaining family or friends. Others leave the laundry room open and connected to the media room for flexibility.
Be creative and practical as well. Many prefer a single or a dual purpose design to specifically fit their needs. But there are still those who want a multi purpose basement and want it flexible for almost anything. If you have sufficient space, you can do that. Make sure you meet as a family to determine what direction you want to go with this so the designing and planning can be done appropriately.

There are some clear advantages for those who choose custom carpentry for their basement remodel. The work will be unique to your home. It will surely be one of a kind.

Flooring Installation
Adding new flooring will spruce up your basement unlike anything else. It adds a good vibe and will make your entire basement feel fresh. The options are many but you need to make a careful selection.
Laminate flooring is a great option for any room, but they’re slippery when wet. So avoid them in bathrooms and laundry areas. If your current flooring is flat and in good condition, the laminate can be installed above that floor. This is a fairly inexpensive option if you’re budget conscious.
Solid hardwood floors are great if you have a clean and dry wood sub floor. The look of hardwood floors will add a nice classy look to your basement. If your basement floor is below grade, you may want to avoid this option, unless you’re willing to invest in the extra effort and cost necessary to make this work.
Engineered wood flooring can be a great option for the basement remodel. These planks have laminate construction and are not impacted by changes in humidity. This can be used in basements without much problems but you’ll want to avoid bathrooms and laundry rooms as well.
Ceramic tiles can be installed in any room. It will add beauty to your basement, and it’s waterproof. But the drawback is that it can be cold and hard. You have to see what you value most in your basement remodel. Otherwise, you can install this only for your bathroom and laundry area.
Drywall Installation
The basement remodel comes with some challenges that you have to deal with. Often, the entire basement is surrounded by soil around the concrete walls. Moisture can leak through the cracks and even enter right through the concrete. This makes for damp conditions throughout the basement. But your walls get the brunt of the moisture, which in turn will affect the drywall you install.
The way to combat this is to build new walls within the concrete walls. Moisture-resistant and rot-resistant building materials must be used in the basement. This is not only a good idea, but in most places, the building codes will require this. Treated wood for the walls, moisture and mildew-resistant drywall, rigid foam board insulation to combat the cold weather, and other moisture and mildew resistant materials are a must for the basement remodel.
Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, and Entertainment Room Services
Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC Installation
Since you will be spending a significant amount of time in the basement for various purposes, you’ll want to install plumbing for the bathroom or the wet bar with a sink. This needs much thought because toilets and sinks in the basement require a lower placement than pipes carrying water and waste from your home. Your contractor will have the skill and knowledge to handle such challenges.
For the wiring, it is best to use conduit pipes that will carry the wiring to all your outlets. For your entertainment systems and other equipment, you’ll need separate pipes for speakers and ethernet cables.
While you’re doing your basement remodel, this is the best time to have a good look at your HVAC system. Commonly for high-efficiency furnaces and boilers, you’ll need to bring outside air using an air vent. Check with your remodel specialists to see if you require a fresh air intake.
This is also the best time to see if you require any upgrades to systemes like furnaces, boilers, water tanks and even the water filtration and softeners. You may even want to switch to a more efficient furnace or boiler if it does not run well. Sometimes, these will emit fumes or create other problems when they are old. Water heaters that are over 10 years of age need to be replaced as well. During your basement remodel, these are all important factors to consider as you begin to rework the entire system underneath.
Movie Theaters
For many homeowners, a big, multipurpose media area or “movie theatre” is a favorite place in the home. Here are some factors to consider as you transform your basement into such a space. Otherwise, you may regret what you have created.
Avoid placing viewing screens near windows. High ceilings are not a must since everyone is seated while you are using this space. Some prefer a theater-like platform seating for better visibility.
Consult with a home theater expert for speaker placement before you complete your design. Make sure to insulate the walls and ceiling for sound so you don’t disturb others upstairs. These are some tips to consider as you build your basement into your very own home movie theater.
Bar and Entertainment Rooms
A great way to get together with friends and family is with your own bar and entertainment room in your home. The expense is about the same as you would install a kitchen, but without all the appliances. Since the sky's the limit when it comes to installing a fabulous bar in your basement, determine your budget first. After your budget is determined, list all the features that are a must and the ones that are optional. What can you live without?
If a complete bar is not required, you can opt for the less costly alternatives. Place a horizontal bank of cabinets that will work as your buffet and put in a fridge. The cabinets can be worked in according to your budget and your needs for storage of items. Your basement remodel experts will make suggestions as you inform them of your ideas for the bar and entertainment room.

Porches, decks, and enclosed decks

This is the place where you may linger and have an extended conversation with them as they are leaving as well. Your porch can be simple or elaborate according to your wish. It’s part of the exterior of your home, but it is part of the structure, often covered with an extension of your roof.
The deck is used primarily for leisure and relaxation. They’ve commonly been open structures, but more recently, people have begun to cover them up to protect against the weather.

Additions, Garage Building, & Sliding Door Installation
Additions
Growing families require more living space. Period. But purchasing a larger home is out of the question for many in these financially trying times. Remodeling your entire home may be another option to rethink your entire living space. However, an addition to your existing home may be a great choice to meet your current need and increase your property value.
Add just one room and that will meet a particular purpose. Or you can have an entirely new section added with several rooms, bathrooms, or a game area. There are various reasons people do this. For some, it is for additional income like an Airbnb rental. Others may want to build a separate living space that can be rented as an apartment. Whatever your purpose, additions can be a great benefit with minimal investment.
Garage Building and renovation

Sheds, Garden Rooms, and Pergolas
Sheds and Garden Rooms
Extending the home - outside in your backyard is the name of the game. You can have a shed or a garden room built just for your purpose, the way you always wanted. You can have one that is built in a factory and installed in your backyard. This won’t cause much disruptions to the home as a traditional remodel would, but you won’t have much flexibility.
But you can have more options when you have one built from ground up. One design won’t fit everyone’s purpose. There are a great number of options for windows, doors, roofs, and interior settings. For some people, it is a small room addition, but just out in the backyard.
For others, they want just a shed to store garden supplies and tools. Some even use it to store things you don’t want to keep in the house. Whatever your need is, you can have your very own shed or garden room just the way you like it.
Pergolas
When you want to entertain guests for a barbeque or dinner, a beautiful Pergola can be a fantastic addition to your home. The weekend with your family or an evening to enjoy the warm spring and summer vacation is best with a Pergola. Custom cedar pergolas can add additional curb appeal and longevity.
You choose the atmosphere you want to create with a Pergola. The size depends on your purpose. If you expect a lot of guests from the office or neighborhood, you’ll want one that is large enough. This will be a worthwhile investment that will last for decades, not to mention all the fun you add to your family time.

-0001.JPG/:/rs=w:400,cg:true,m)
Interior and exterior painting and staining
Before you go for a complete remodel, consider a fresh coat of paint for your interior and exterior. With a choice of unique designs and a wide spectrum of colors, you can be innovative with your home. Imagine being able to revamp your entire home as you get rid of those old faded colors.
The exterior of your home will have that welcoming feel as you repaint it looking to make it vibrant for years to come. The sun, rain, snow, and other elements have been beating down hard with the change of each season. It’s the exterior paint that deals with all the extreme elements without any break. So make sure to select paint that is of excellent quality and get it done by experts who’ll do it well.
Your deck is also exposed to the weather, bearing the rain, moisture, dry wind, hot sunshine, and even the freeze of the winter. Such a beating is a sure cause of wood rot, and warp, not to mention the discoloration. In such cases, your deck needs a professional wood stain job to reverse the effects of what it has suffered. A well maintained deck will be a welcome area for your family to gather this summer.
Cabinet installation and replacement
The key is to inject freshness and new life into your home design. Begin with your cabinets by imagining how they would look if you finally got around to those things that you just couldn’t get to. Like those peeling laminates that need to be fixed, or a new set of cabinets you’ve always wanted.
If replacing your cabinets is out of your budget at this time, they can be repaired at a reasonable cost. They can also be refaced to give it a new look and a new life. Just replace the doors, knobs, and hinges if needed. This will entirely revive your kitchen.
Of course, the best option is to install new cabinets. Whether you’re replacing kitchen appliances or not, new cabinets will give your kitchen a new feel. You’ll be able to set them according to your taste. The arrangements can be done in a way that is most useful and according to your usage, making it a truly functional kitchen.
Door installation and replacement
Constant opening, shutting, touching, and pulling, are some of the things doors go through, not to mention the “slamming” of doors. These doors get lots of wear and tear throughout their life. If your home is older and the style of the door is apt for the age of the home, you may not want to replace the doors. A good repair work will do the job.
But many want to have a completely fresh look with new doors. These give a tremendous lift to the feel of the home. Get doors that match the style of your home, and make sure you update the trim and molding as well. Make sure you get it done properly. If they are not installed properly, your heating and cooling costs could go up, and can look awkward as well.
Window installation and replacement
Getting new windows not only makes your home look great, it will save you on heating and cooling costs. Older windows will eventually leak out the air from within your home and the draft will surely drain your utilities. You also have the benefit of increased property value with new windows.
As you do this window replacement, you can also opt for several other possibilities that will enhance the living condition of your home. You can install skylights and save more on lighting costs, and they give you a fresh natural look to the room. Other types to consider are: Casement windows, picture windows, insulated windows, egress windows, or bay windows. Any of these will enhance the look of your home, and it will be worth the investment.
Energy Audits & Safe/Hidden Rooms
Energy Audits
As we are nearing the summer months, an energy audit may be a necessity for you. When you get an energy audit done on your home, the energy efficiency of the entire house is evaluated by the use of professional equipment. The aim is to find the best methods to improve the energy efficiency of the home. Often, you will save money on heating and cooling along with lighting costs in the future. For both the summer and winter months, this will come in handy for you.
Safe/Hidden Rooms
A secret door can be a great option to hide your safe where you keep your most valuable items. If you’re leaving for vacation or just for a weekend, your valuables can be in danger if they are exposed - even if you keep them in a safe. A secret door into a hidden room may be a great way to conceal important possessions.
Such rooms not only provide safety but convenience and beauty as well. You can secure other valuables such as Jewelry and watches, currency and precious metals, important documents, gun collection, art collection, or even a rare wine collection.
All of the above are all custom carpentry services that will greatly enhance your home and the value of your property. The costs involved are only a fraction of the benefits you will enjoy as you use your home.
