Great Granite Batman! What an Awesome Shower Remodel

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off

Batman could always count on Robin to come up with a great exclamation that summed up the situation perfectly. If the dynamic duo checked out bathroom and shower remodel jobs completed by Inspired Remodels; “Great granite” would just be start of Robin’s comments.

Granite is Just the Beginning

Granite is very popular for bathroom and shower remodel jobs. Granite is a very hard natural material. Its density makes it less susceptible to moisture absorption than travertine and it will not be damaged by citrus-based cleaners like some other softer stone.

Just because granite is not completely impervious to moisture doesn’t mean using granite will cause your shower to leak. When properly installed, your granite shower should be as waterproof as one finished in ceramic tile or other material. Proper installation is the key.

An experienced remodeling company knows that a watertight shower begins with the right substrate. Regular drywall will absorb moisture and lead to problems with leaks and mold. Inspired Remodels will use waterproof backerboard for shower walls that perform as well as they look. The shower pan will be watertight and done right as well. These are the elements that provide the structure for your waterproof granite installation.

The shower pan must be watertight as well.

Built Ins With Flair

Let’s face it; if you’re going to take a shower you are going to need some soap and shampoo. People have struggled with years for ways to keep these bath essentials close at hand without creating an eyesore or haven for mold and mildew to grow.

Inspired Remodels can provide built-in storage as part of your shower remodel. Just take a look at how these recessed shelves provide a place to store personal care products and keep them out of the way of the shower spray.

Ladies; don’t you wish you could sit and shave your legs in the shower? Why not include a built in seat when you remodel your shower? Safely sit while you wait for conditioner to work its magic or you shave your legs. Relax and let the steam envelope you. A built-in seat is not only convenient it also reduces the risk of slipping.

Don’t you wish you had thought of that?

A Great Shower Remodel Begins with Great Design

A great bathroom or shower remodel is like any other remodel: it all begins with a great design.

Work with the talented designers at Inspired Remodels to transform your ideas into a final project you will love. They know good design is all about the details. We will work with you to maximize your bathroom and shower space and your remodel budget.

Kitchen Remodeler Tips for Functional and Beautiful Kitchens

By Inspired Remodels / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off

It doesn’t matter how stunning the finishes or amazing the appliances, if your kitchen remodeler didn’t create a functional kitchen they didn’t do the job properly. When you cook, you need a kitchen that is beautiful and functional. Inspired Remodels takes the time to talk to you about your cooking style and needs before they start designing; so you get high function and style. Here’s a few kitchen design tips from kitchen remodeler pros

How Many Cooks in a Kitchen?

The traditional kitchen design accommodates one cook. The key players in the kitchen are placed to form a triangle. This design allows one cook to move efficiently in the kitchen between the stove, the refrigerator, and the sink.

Contemporary kitchens often need to accommodate more than one cook. A functional kitchen for more than one cook follows the design of a professional kitchen. The focus is on workstations and not the traditional triangle. So, prep, cooking, and cleanup workstations are organized around the associated appliance with ample room to work.

If you rarely use a full size oven or stove but rely on microwaves and toaster ovens, your kitchen remodeler should take this into consideration as well. What is an afterthought for some can be an important part of your cooking style.

What’s Your Social Style?

If you like to cook while visiting with your guests, an island or bar with seating is a must have function in your kitchen. This allows you to chat, enjoy a beverage, and be a part of the social action while you cook.

If you want solitude while you create culinary masterpieces and a “big reveal” is more your style, all seating will be outside the kitchen. Pass-throughs and how doors function is even more important in this set-up. No one wants to balance a platter and fumble with a doorknob or lever.

Lighting Needs

Kitchen lighting is crucial to function. You can’t measure, read a recipe, or check a thermometer if you can’t see clearly. Ambient lighting is important, but it is just the start. Workstations or task areas should be well lit with additional lighting. Decorative lighting can be incorporated for when the kitchen is not in use. Night lights are great for those late night trips for a snack or drink of water.

Hire a Kitchen Remodeler that Understands Design

Before you hire a kitchen remodeler, make sure they understand the elements of good kitchen design. Pay attention to the questions they ask you. If their only concern is the color of the cabinets and paint then pay them no more attention.

A professional kitchen remodeler like Inspired Remodels understands that great kitchens begin with a great conversation about your needs. Inspired Remodels will take the time to find out about your personal functional requirements as well as your likes and dislikes in finishes, appliances, and styles.

When Inspired Remodels is your kitchen remodeler, you get a kitchen that looks great and functions superbly. Inspired Remodels can turn bathrooms into spas and remodel any other room in your house. Just Contact Us to get started.
