“WHEN DONE WELL, A NEWLY REMODELED KITCHEN OR BATHROOM

CAN ADD YEARS OF ADDITIONAL VALUE AND ENJOYMENT.”

Cosmetic Remodel
A cosmetic kitchen remodel generally means you have a space
that looks dated, but the cabinetry and “bones” of the kitchen
are in good condition. Just replacing the countertops, painting
the cabinetry, and making improvements to the lighting can give
you the look of a new space at half the cost of a full remodel. A
cosmetic bathroom remodel usually means the plumbing fixtures
and tile are still on trend and in good condition, but a change of paint
colors, countertops, and lighting can refresh the space.

Pull-and-Replace Remodel
A pull-and-replace kitchen remodel generally means your overall
layout of the space works well, but the cabinetry needs to be
replaced. When the layout and floor plan do not need to be
changed, a pull-and-replace avoids the added expense of relo-
cating electrical, mechanical, and plumbing connections. It also

eliminates the need for structural changes because walls don’t

need to be modified or removed. In a pull-and-replace bathroom,

all of the plumbing and electrical connections remain in the

original location as well.

Full    Redesign

A fully redesigned kitchen or bathroom means that you start

with a clean slate! By having the freedom to reimagine the

entire footprint of the main level of your home, and some-

times even expand the footprint, you can design and remodel

without boundaries. Rather than worry about structural ob-

stacles in the beginning, the focus is on coming up with the

best design. Then you work with an engineer and specialized

trades to determine the feasibility for making it all work. In

the end, you have a fully customized space that works for

you, with no compromises!u
