"Do You Hate Your Bathroom? Maybe It's Time to Remodel"

Rosie on the House featured our before and after bathroom photo for their Phoenix Newsletter February 9, 2013.   

This Week's Topic:

Do You Hate Your Bathroom? Maybe It’s Time to Remodel 

Remember those old jokes about how every house in some of our subdivisions looks exactly the same on the outside. The truth is that many of our houses look exactly the same inside as well. 

Probably your master bathroom closely resembles the one in the house next door: cultured marble countertops, a tiny shower with a glass door, a pre-fabricated tub, and tile floors. After 20 to 30 years, it could use an upgrade. And remodeling your bathroom can give you a bigger return when you sell your house, almost as much as redoing the kitchen.

According to Christine Cox of CC Interiors, an adviser to our Rosie-certified partner BC Renovations of Phoenix, one of the most popular trends in bath remodels is removing the outdated bathtub and then using the space that is gained to help create a new walk-in shower with lots of luxurious touches. 

Remodeler Tom Sertich of Kirk Development, one of our Rosie-Certified Partners in Phoenix, says that those special extras in the bath can include a two-person shower enclosure with a place to sit, radiant heating in the floor for chilly days, and expensive showerheads. 

Other things to enhance your bath facelift: more vertical cabinets to add extra storage and his and hers vanities with spiffy new faucets. Grab bars are also growing more popular as the population ages, but even younger people will accept them now because their appearance and style has been greatly improved. After all, the bathroom is considered one of the most “dangerous” rooms in your house because of the prospect of slips and falls.

"Out Of The Box" Kitchen

This is a great home but these extra walls really made the home feel small and limited the kitchen.  The Owners needed more space for their large family and lots of storage was a must.

Letting this kitchen "out of the box" made an awesome transformation to this home.  This is truly an open concept that is much more functional.  By swapping the kitchen and dining room locations and expanding into the patio area this home now has a great room with a kitchen that has lots of counter space and storage.
