"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging. Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs. "
"I never contacted the provider or used this service in anyway. I have to write this review so that the request to write this review stops popping up. The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit. "

Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel questions, answered by experts
Adding a bedroom or a second bathroom typically has the biggest positive effect on a home's value. These additions can increase your home's square footage and move it into a new category (e.g., from a two-bedroom to a three-bedroom), which is highly attractive to many families looking to upsize. On a larger scale, adding a second floor can also significantly increase a home's value by creating new possibilities for living and storage space. However, there is an upper limit where adding more bedrooms, such as in a nine-bedroom home, may not proportionally increase value.
Adding another bathroom isn’t the most complicated project you can undertake, but it’s in the top 5%. Anything involving plumbing and electrical work should be handed off to a pro, and adding a half bath involves both. A contractor may charge $70to$120 an hour for labor, but chances are they can work much faster and more accurately than a DIYer.
The number of shower niches you need (or want) depends on the size of the shower and how many bathroom products you plan on storing. If you keep it simple with just soap and shampoo, the one shower niche will probably do the trick. But if you’re adding scrubs and soaks, you may need to think about installing two or more.
In some situations, you may be able to try an alternative to repiping your bathroom. If you’re dealing with substantial clogs, for instance, you may be able to have a plumber come out and clear the clog. But if you’ve tried other repairs and are still dealing with issues, you can opt for epoxy pipe lining as an alternative to repiping. This method coats the inside of the pipe with an epoxy to seal holes or cracks.
Yes, you can put a bathroom in a bump-out. Some homeowners build a bump-out to enhance their bathrooms with new sinks, vanities, tubs, showers, or linen closets. Depending on the layout of your bathroom and what you’re adding to it, you may need to install new plumbing or reroute your existing plumbing lines.
