La Cantina Doors and Spacious Windows

If you aim to take your home to the next level and totally soak in that chill California vibe, look no further than La Cantina doors and spacious windows. These bad boys are all about blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors, giving your home an awesome alfresco feel. Picture this: you’re in a freshly remodeled room, but it’s like you’re still outside, surrounded by nature’s beauty.

LaCantina connects you with nature to bring the outside in. Enjoy energy efficiency as well as the views. The thermal barrier makes them energy efficient so you’ll spend less green on heating and cooling. Spacious windows reduce the need for indoor lighting by bringing abundant outdoor light inside. That’s another energy saver.

Fog Free Mirrors

Have you ever stepped out of a hot shower only to be greeted by a similarly hot mirror?  If you need to blow dry your hair, shave, or put on makeup, these fogged mirrors offer a suboptimal setting to put it politely.  If you wipe away the mist with a towel, you’ll be facing streaks.

Mirror defoggers provide a small touch by the remodeler but they create an enormous impact. Your Orange County remodeler should pop these in the master bathroom during your remodel.  The majority of current designs prevent fogging by slowly warming the mirror glass. Your car’s defroster employs this same concept to keep your windows clear, both front and back.  Wiring a mirror defogger into the electrical circuit that controls the lights or ventilation fans makes clearing the fog automatically.

Gathering Spaces

Families big and small require places to gather. Make sure your Orange County remodeler includes places for family and friends to gather.

The space should match your lifestyle. If your idea of fun is bingeing the latest Netflix, make sure you include space for large seating areas and video screens.

If a cuppa Joe with the neighbor or a cocktail party sounds more like your speed, set aside space for a coffee, wine, or full bar.

Storage

Too often, adding sufficient storage space gets short shrift. Having enough space to store things helps things stay tidy. After all, if everything has a place – then everything must have a place.  Aside from adding practicality to the design, storage maintains order, and that improves the visual appeal of the space.

Utilize vertical space with tall shelves or cabinetry and make the most of vertical wall space. Don’t forget the space under the stairs.

Floating shelves add storage for books, decorative items, or kitchen essentials without occupying valuable floor space.

Orange County General Contractors Are More than Handymen

By / Bathroom Remodel, Home Improvement, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Orange County General Contractors Are More than Handymen

Are you looking to do some remodeling or renovating of your Orange County home? Many local handymen offer services, but should you trust one to remodel your kitchen or bath? Orange County general contractors like Inspired Remodels are much more than handymen, they are seasoned, licensed, and insured construction professionals. Here’s what makes them more than just a handyman.

Relevant Experience

If you are changing more than just the hardware on your cabinets, you want experienced professionals. Heck, you can change cabinet knobs, pulls, and handles yourself.  But if you are installing custom cabinetry, new lighting, removing or building walls, or moving appliances or bathroom fixtures, you need an experienced professional.

General contractors have experience in construction, remodeling, and renovation before they even sit for their licensing exam. Their license application requires disclosure of their educational and work experience.

Pass Multiple Examinations

There’s no professional examination for a handyman.

Your Orange County general contractor must pass a minimum of two state-level exams.  The first exam tests their knowledge of building codes and best practices for building in California.

A second exam tests their knowledge of business practices, concepts, and law. Not only must they know construction law, they must also have a working knowledge of general business law in California.

In addition, prospective contractors may sit for a trade examination as well. The California State Licensing Board offers professional licenses in plumbing, electrical, and other trades.

Bonded and Insured

A general contractor receives their license only after proving they have a liability bond and insurance. And, they continue to provide this proof each time their license is renewed.

Also, contractors carry liability insurance and worker’s compensation insurance in case anyone gets hurt on the job. Did you know that if a handyman gets hurt working at your house, you are responsible for their medical bills.? You must file a claim with your homeowner’s insurance or else pay medical bills out of pocket if that handyman gets hurt.

general contractors increasingly rely on online services

Knowledge of Local Code, Permit Requirements, and Suppliers

Your general contractor knows the building code and when your municipality requires a permit. In addition, Orange County general contractors like Inspired Remodels maintain close relationships with suppliers and subcontractors. This gives you access to materials and workers the handyman can’t bring to the table.

Permits and inspections may feel like a hassle, but you can be responsible for unpermitted repairs if they fail inspection when you decide to sell your house. That’s pennywise and pound-foolish.
