No matter how much you love
your home, there will inevitably come a time when it will require remodeling.
It could be as simple as changing the countertops and installing new flooring.
Or it could be as complex as overhauling the entire interior to meet your
changing tastes.
Whatever the project, you
will need to choose carefully among the many home remodeling companies that
will want your business.
Here is a guide to
selecting the right partner for your home remodeling project:
- Only work with companies that
encourage you to get more than one bid. The best home remodeling
companies want you to be absolutely sure about your decisions, so they
will be more than happy to provide you with a bid--and encourage you to
get other bids as well.
- Only work with a contractor who is
licensed and insured. If something goes wrong (and sometimes things don't
always go as planned), contractors who are licensed and insured are more
likely to do whatever they can to make it right. If your contractor isn't
licensed or insured, you could have a hard time holding them accountable
for any mistakes they make.
- Always ask for references. The best home remodeling
companies have long track records of success and are proud of their work.
Ask for references. Ask to see pictures of the projects they have
completed that are similar to yours. You can even ask to stop by a job
site to see them in action. When it comes to choosing a home remodeling
company, seeing is believing.
- Consider price, passion and fit. There are a lot of variables to
remodeling projects, including price (lowest isn't always the best),
passion (you want a contractor who shares your enthusiasm for the project)
and fit (you want to work with someone you trust.

Of all the rooms in your
home, your kitchen may be the most important. It's where meals are cooked,
conversations are conducted and homework completed. The kitchen is where you
start your days with a hot cup of coffee and end your evenings with a steaming
cup of tea. It is the room in which you spend most of your waking hours.
So why not make it
perfect?
Kitchen renovations can
make your dream kitchen a reality--and they are easier than you might think if
you work with the right company.
If you haven't considered
renovating your kitchen, you should because it can change your life for the
better. Here's a look at some of the things a contractor that specializes in
kitchen renovations can help you improve:
- Countertops. You would be surprised how
easily new countertops can transform your kitchen from good to
great--especially if you choose natural stones such as granite, marble and
soapstone.
- Cupboard space. There is nothing more
frustrating than a lack of storage space in the kitchen. If your kitchen
has a dearth of cupboards, you should talk to a contractor today about
creative options for creating more space through kitchen
renovations.
- Lighting. Believe it or not, lighting is
often overlooked, even though it's essential. But the right light in the
right places can add energy (and even a sense of space) to your
kitchen.
- The overall style. Sometimes you just get tired of
a room's style. This is easy to do in the kitchen, which is where you
spend a lot of your time. Whether you want to transform your kitchen
in to a rustic, cabin-like getaway or a contemporary oasis of convenience,
the right contractor can help.
These are just a few of the
ways kitchen renovations can make your dreams become a reality. Visit our website for more information:

It could be new kitchen
countertops. It could be upgrading your master bathroom to create your very own
spa-like experience. Or maybe it's all about adding storage space for all that
fabric in your sewing room.
Whatever your home
improvement project, you've got to make sure you work with the right
company--and you've got a lot of home improvement companies from which to
choose.
The good news is that you
are not the first family to embark on a home improvement project. Countless
others have made updates and improvements to their homes. They've learned from
the good, the bad and the otherwise, and they know how to find the right
partner among the many home improvement companies vying for your
business.
Here's what to know that can
help you make smart decisions:
- Experience matters. When you are looking at all the
home improvement companies, make sure to focus on those that have
experience with the type of project you want done. Not only is it a great
way to winnow down your options, but it is also a great way to ensure
you'll hire a contractor who knows what needs to be done.
- Enthusiasm matters. Why hire a contractor who isn't
as excited and passionate about your project as you are? The best home
improvement companies share your enthusiasm for your project. They're the people who are going to go the extra mile to make sure you get exactly
what you want.
- A picture is worth a thousand
words.
A contractor can tell you that he or she has experience, but if they can't
show you pictures of their work (or better yet, put you in touch with
people they've worked with in the past), they might just be giving lip service
to your dream. Ask to see the pictures.

Top-quality bathroom
remodeling contractors typically excel in one of two areas. They either have an
extensive/diverse skill set and proficiency in a wide range of contracting
tasks or they have access to reliable, talented sub-contractors who can come in
and help when the need arises. Bathroom remodeling is one of the more
challenging remodeling assignments because a job often presents the need for
expertise in:
- Plumbing
- Electrical
- Skilled woodworking
- Framing
- Painting
Reasons For a Bathroom Remodel
If you're living in a house
that has the original fixtures and décor in the bathroom, even if everything's
functioning properly the room may feel dated and be crying out for a new,
modern look. If you've started experiencing plumbing or electrical problems
regularly, there's damage to the vanity or chips in the sink or tub, it may
actually be time for a complete makeover. The scope of the remodel you
envision will determine how specialized your contractor should be as far as
tools and experience. Changing out lights, adding new flooring or installing a
new toilet or vanity may not require too much specialized knowledge. Rerouting
existing electrical or plumbing or knocking out a wall to add more bathroom
space is a much more complicated and involved process.
Choosing from Available Bathroom
Remodeling Contractors
You probably already know
the wisdom of getting three bids when planning to have contracting work done.
While price estimates can be important for staying within budget, often the low
bid isn't the best bid. Take a
look at some examples of previous work and ask for testimonials. We're happy to
supply both. Our first priority is to bring your remodeling vision to life. We
are passionate about every bathroom remodeling job we do and promise you won't
be disappointed with our work. Give us a call. Let's talk. For more information on remodeling, visit our website:

When it comes to kitchen
remodeling projects, form should always follow function. So after you have
vetted the many kitchen remodeling companies and selected your contractor, make
sure the two of you sit down together and answer the following questions:
How many chefs are
usually in the kitchen?
If your family likes to make prepping and preparing meals a group project, your
kitchen will require more features, which could include more counter space, an
extra oven and a secondary sink. On the other hand, if you never use your
kitchen for cooking and only use it as a spot to entertain and converse with
family and friends, your kitchen might need space for storing wine and other
beverages.
What is your
cooking style?
Are you the type of cook who dirties every dish, runs your kitchen like a
sauce boss and always seems to have a house full of guests who are waiting to
eat? Or do you take a more understated, simple approach? Home remodeling and kitchen remodeling companies often ask this question to help you figure out
what kind of appliances you will need in your remodeled kitchen.
How big of a deal
is clean up?
This question is designed to help you determine important factors such as the
size and capacity of your dishwasher, number and placement of sinks and even
what type of countertops are installed. In other words, do you want a kitchen
that takes some time to clean up or do you want a kitchen that cleans up fast?
These are the questions
kitchen remodeling companies will ask you to help you make decisions about
whether to install a six- to eight-burner range or something more standard,
open shelves or classic cupboards and everything else that goes into designing
and building the perfect kitchen.
