Remodel Your Bathroom – And Your Life!

Stress and noise can take a toll on your mood, energy and health. When homeowners call us about master bathroom remodeling, they’re also often looking for a way to “remodel” busy lives. For some, the dream master bathroom is like a den – equipped with fridge, wet bar and flat screen. For others, it’s a Zen-like sanctuary for meditation and renewal.

10 Ideas for Your Master Bathroom Remodeling Project:

Creative cabinetry. We believe that with the right materials, furniture-quality cabinetry can be at home in your master bathroom. To maintain an uncluttered spa-like feel, plan cabinets carefully to accommodate everything from small cosmetics to Costco-size packages.

Bigger showers. We’re seeing that roomy showers with lots of glass and a seat are popular. If space is tight, enjoy a luxurious shower the way it’s done in Europe: Just use tile and special drains to turn your entire bathroom into a shower.

Soaking tubs. Many homeowners are now opting for the serenity of a soaking tub rather than a whirlpool tub.

Room for two. Busy mornings are easier when you don’t have to wait for your turn in the bathroom. Remodeling to include a separate toilet room offers privacy while double shower heads and his-and-hers vanities let you both get ready in half the time.

Sun-filled spaces. Include skylights and windows that give you plenty of natural light so you can throw down a yoga mat for a true salute to the sun!

Green options. Here in our area, eco-friendly recycled glass tile is popular, along with energy-savers like tankless water heaters.

Steam away aches and stress. Steam showers are awesome! For even more relaxation: a master bath steam room system.

New ventilation systems. From fans with humidity sensors, to automatically defogging steamy mirrors, today’s technologies create bathrooms that are more comfortable and lower maintenance, too.

Heated floors. As part of your master bath remodeling, consider radiant heating for the floors. It’s a small extra that adds a great deal of pampering!

New finishes. You may want to think beyond chrome and brass fixtures. Today, the wide selection of finishes lets you consider options such as Tuscan bronze or even black.

A new master bath remodel will reward you daily with pleasure, peace and quiet, and perhaps better health. Plus, a smartly upgraded bathroom helps sell a home and, even in this real estate market, a master bath remodel can still deliver excellent ROI. We would be happy to help you take a look at what's possible. Just give us a call or e-mail us.

Mmmm...Warm Towels!

One of the most pleasant luxuries of a spa experience is being wrapped in wonderfully warm towels. A towel warming bar is one option, but there’s another option – the towel warming drawer – that makes it ultra easy to enjoy the pampering feel of freshly heated towels.

Jacuzzi makes an excellent towel warming drawer product that fits with standard bathroom cabinetry. We can finish it to match any décor you've chosen as part of your bathroom remodeling. Once the drawer is installed, just think of how soothing it will feel to step out of your bath or shower and relax into the comfort of a fresh, fluffy and thoroughly warm towel. But towels aren't all you can warm in the drawer. Baby blankets, robes and slippers can also come out feeling delightfully toasty. (It’s even perfect for drying delicate lingerie!) The Jacuzzi drawer is quite energy efficient and it’s maintenance-free. You can store towels in it without worrying about mildew, and they're ready whenever you want them.

Maintenance Tip: Inspect Roof and Gutters
for Winter Damage

Damage to your roof that occurs during the harsh winter months can lead to larger problems in the Spring. Inspect and repair loose or damaged shingles, gaps in the flashing, and leaks in the seams and at the corners of gutters.

See you next month!
