    Home Improvement Ideas

    Kitchen and bathroom remodeling.

    Home Remodeling

    When it comes to kitchen remodeling, there are various things to consider. You want to have plenty of space to eat, cook and entertain guest so carefully choose where to position your stove, island, refrigerator and cabinets.

    Another thing to consider is having adequate storage for cookware, pans, utensils and small appilances.

    How to add more kitchen storage

    Storing all your pans and bakeware needs sufficient drawers, cabinets and shelves so use every bit of this space by including cabinets in your island, hanging pot and spice racks. Put frequently used large items on the countertop and less used items in storage.

    Cabinets & countertops to use

    Picking the right materials is important for your kitchen to look beautiful and improve the value of your home. Stainless steel and limestone counters are in trend while marble and granite counters more elegant. For some contrast, you can add a bright tile backsplash and nice wood or vinyl floor.


    Bathroom Remodeling Cost Benefit

    Understanding the costs and benefits of a full remodel with complete removal and/or layout changes, or, a surface level remodel focusing on covering rather than complete replacement should encourage you! Immediately you will enjoy the new look and use of either but you will also enjoy the added benefit of increasing your home value for years to come…money well spent!

    Remodel Advantages

    Full remodels not only allow you to change the tub/shower configuration, replace vanities, countertops, backsplashes, electric and lighting arrangements, flooring, trim, crown, doors and hardware, you get a look into any "hidden" damages caused by plumbing leaks like dry-rot, mold and mildew and the opportunity to correct them.

    Less expensive, the surface level remodel, or "update" focuses on covering rather than complete replacement. You simply change out elements of the existing arrangement as you wish!
