"Shout out to Frank for more beautiful floor work. Our kitchen keeps getting better and better! Take a look at this tile. Wish we had found Cransten earlier, but we WILL be coming back to them."
"Russ and his team at Compass Bath & remodel LLC were incredible from start to finish. They kept me informed & updated on every decision. I was so scared to start a remodel but Russ made it so easy. I wish I had hired them years ago. I love my new kitchen.. if you want it done right then this is the company to hire.. They definitely went above and beyond. I highly recommend them. Thanks Compass Bath team!!!"
"We've had Greg do a couple of projects for us now, and each one has been flawless. He was on time on budget and above expectation for quality. We would definitely hire again!"
"The installation was scheduled to take 2 days. James, Brandon & Teegan stayed overtime and finished in one day. Communication, Installation and the Finished product was excellent. 3 Safely rails were installed at just the correct position and height. Everything was cleaned up as if they were working on their own project. 3day Kitchen and bath did not return my calls. We bid the project in January; I would say it was 4 Month 5 Star Kitchen and Bath and one day, however the wait was worth it......"
"Lifespan just completed our fantastic sunroom. It is everything we expected. The crew, Carl and Austin, did a great job; their attention to detail and craftsmanship is evident in the finished room. We highly recommend Lifespan Home Improvement."
"Rod and Nate at Oak & Stone are extremely professional, hard working, innovative and friendly and it was a pleasure to have them here working on our home. We had a complete kitchen remodel done along with painting other areas. The design for the kitchen gave us so much more cabinet space that we actually have empty space. I highly recommend them for any projects you might want done and I definitely will be hiring them again for our future remodeling. ROD & NATE ARE AWESOME !!! L"
"Brian did an amazing job finishing our townhome’s basement. We needed help with electrical, HVAC, drywall, and so much more. He did it all! He was very punctual, professional, and detailed in his work. Got everything up to code for us, and helped install our home theater with in wall surround sound speakers, a mounted TV, and all the wiring to the AV receiver. When we had some guys come in to do the missing and texture, Brian also helped with translating for us, since he speaks Spanish. He also was very clean and our dog loved him, which is unusual lol. Excellent service and will hire him for larger projects again! Would recommend for any home projects!"
Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel questions, answered by experts
To make a small bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored tiles in a medium- to large-format size. Lighter colors like white, cream, or light gray help open up a room, making it feel larger and more airy. While it may seem counterintuitive, small tiles can actually make a bathroom look smaller because the increased number of grout lines creates a busy pattern that visually shrinks the space. Instead, opt for medium- or large-format tiles for a more seamless, expansive appearance. For the best effect, pair your tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout to create a continuous surface that enhances the illusion of a larger area. Avoid dark colors, heavy patterns, and contrasting grout, as these can make the space feel more confined.
Renovations that add functionality or more comfortable floor space generally add the most value when remodeling your home. Attic or basement finishing can add floor space without altering the home's structure, saving you renovation money while adding valuable space. Smaller improvements, such as installing smart-home components or replacing entry doors and windows, also experience high ROIs.
Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.
The decision between wainscoting and shiplap for your bathroom will depend on the end result you’re looking for. Shiplap covers the entire wall and can be used on ceilings. Wainscoting is installed on the lower third of the wall and acts as an accent. One major consideration is that shiplap has rabbets that create space between the boards where moisture and dust can hide. Since bathrooms are a high-moisture environment, you may want to opt for wainscotting.
When remodeling a bedroom, the upgrades that add the most value will be replacing the flooring, repainting the room, and increasing light to the space either with larger windows or skylights. Renovating an attached bathroom also results in a value increase but can be an expensive project. Consider new light fixtures and removing popcorn ceilings or other outdated features.
