Kitchens
Your home’s kitchen is so much more than a place to simply prepare meals. There’s a reason it’s often called the heart of the home: it’s where family and friend congregate to celebrate many of life’s big and small achievements.
Your kitchen tells a story and often sets the tone for the entire house. It’s the only room in your home where you can simultaneously cook, bake, enjoy family activities, and bond over life’s little pleasures. An inefficient or outdated kitchen is often crowded and lacking modern amenities. An update not only improves traffic flow and the overall appeal of the kitchen, it also increases your home’s value.
Bathrooms
The basics of bathrooms haven’t changed much over the last century, but fixtures, furnishings, colors, and designs have! Older homes in particular are wonderful windows into the evolution of the residential bathroom. Once-all-the-rage but now hideous paint colors, metallic wallpapers, and rust-stained porcelain tubs and sinks are a testament to the ever-changing tastes of the American homeowner.
Remodeling your home’s outdated bathroom can add significant value to your home, not to mention plenty of personal enjoyment for the entire family. With all the time that’s spent in the bathroom over a lifetime, why wouldn’t you want a bathroom remodel that you can enjoy every day?
