A New Bath Can Increase the Value of Your Home

Prepping a home for sale… Are you downsizing because your home is too large for your needs now? Perhaps you are in need of a larger home to accommodate a growing family. Whatever your reasons, be sure to look closely at the bathrooms in that home you are about to invest in.

Those of us in the remodeling business have known for many years that there is always a demand for updated bathrooms. So whether you are buying or selling, the way to maximize your investment is to have an updated bathroom. Beautiful bathrooms do not have to be expensive unless that is what you want. They do have to be clean and appeal visually as well as functionally. A shared bathroom or a half bath should have new fixtures, painted not wall papered walls, and tile or vinyl flooring based on your budget. In the half bath, a nice pedestal sink or vanity, when space allows, with a matching comfort height toilet, up-to-date lighting, GFCI electrical outlet, and exhaust fan are the bare necessities. The shared bathroom can be easily updated with a beautiful tub shower combination with or without glass doors and the standard fixtures, lighting, electrical and painting. Many older bathrooms suffer from moisture problems because they are not properly vented to the outside. Installing an adequate exhaust fan based on the square footage of the bathroom and having it installed and properly, vented to the outside, at the gable end of the house is the best way to avoid future problems. By having the exhaust fan on a timer, a very low cost alternative, the fan runs after the shower, as it should, to ensure the moisture in exhausted from the room.

The master bath may be the space you want to invest more of your hard earned dollars. These tend to be more elaborate with a full porcelain tile surround in the shower area. They often include rain heads and hand held fixtures, niches in the shower walls for soap and shampoo to name a few of the extras. We often see them with bench seating, his and hers granite counter topped vanities and functional but beautiful fixtures. The flooring is usually porcelain or marble tile some may have radiant heating all adding to the comfort of your private space.

Spring is a Great Time to Remodel!

As spring symbolizes new beginnings and a fresh start, there’s no better time to clean, organize, and remodel the home. Maybe it’s because it’s warm enough to open windows again, or perhaps it’s the days becoming longer than the nights, but spring is a good time for change.

Sometimes a new look is just what you need in your home. The family room is a good place to start. A family room is constantly changing, just like the seasons. It’s a room that welcomes new family members, visitors, and friends, while adapting to the tastes, habits, and needs of a constantly changing household. Sometimes a little bit of remodeling can push a much-needed change in the right direction and help keep the space in harmony and make you love your home.

It’s important to make sure you hire an experienced contractor for your project. At GM Roth Design Remodeling, we have a proven 10-step process that ensures your project will be a success.

New Trends in Kitchen Design by Sharon Sargent

While traditional wood cabinets remain very popular, some homeowners are remodeling their kitchens with more daring and unusual storage solutions. This includes exotic woods and hardware, plenty of glass and colorful finishes. Instead of white or stained wood, cabinets are painted in rich colors or dark finishes to complement new appliances and flooring options.

In addition, customers are adding more display area into upper cabinets, putting glass inserts into door fronts and gallery lighting inside the cabinet to show off their best china or collections of glassware. It is all about customizing your space to your personal lifestyle.

With a degree in interior design, Sharon has experience with a variety of design styles that give clients an array of options to suit their unique taste. She has worked on large and small remodeling projects as well as new construction. She enjoys building customer relationships, while helping to create extraordinary kitchens and baths.

Designing Your Kitchen at GM Roth

The First Step: To begin, you will sit down with our design team, so they can learn all about the hopes and dreams you have for your kitchen. They will answer your questions and go through a checklist of items for you to consider.

The most important aspect about kitchen design is the balance between function and beauty. We work with you to create a kitchen that has all the features and functionality you desire along with the design elements to make it gorgeous.

The Modern Kitchen: Today’s kitchen floor plans make the maximum use of available space, but also incorporate designs that make this “heart of the home” a more warm and welcoming room. Many families spend a lot of time in the kitchen; while mom is preparing a meal, the kids might be doing their homework on a laptop at the kitchen island.

At G.M. Roth, our kitchen designers have been quick to adapt their ideas to meet the needs of the modern lifestyle. As a result, the kitchen has become an even more important room that is both functional and spacious.

Remodeling Trends

We are seeing trends that many people are now choosing to remain in their home and remodel rather than selling and buying another home. There are many good reasons for making changes to your current home.

Chances are you enjoy your location and have become accustomed to the many benefits of staying in your home. Those of you who have been in your home for a number of years have acquired suitable equity to ensure low interest funding for the work you need done to freshen or revitalize your home. Savings from the brokerage cost of selling your current home, the costs associated with moving and the hassle of the move itself and can all be funneled back into getting exactly what you want.

Typically we see bathroom and kitchen remodel as the number one areas homeowners choose to improve the quality of their lives. We also are seeing energy saving windows and door coming back in demand as many have put off these necessary home upgrades.

There are also those people that prefer to stay in their homes as they grow older. We help them by remodeling their home to make it more comfortable. Some couples need a master bedroom suite on the ground level to alleviate traversing staircases. Others, who are taller, may need to raise cabinet heights to make them more functional and accessible. In the case where standard height cabinets are too high, we can satisfy that requirement as well. We also provide handicapped access by widening doors, installing ramps, making bathrooms secure for washing and bathing and re-working the cooking and storage areas.
