"When we built our home in 1991 we figured we?d remodel the master bath within 5 years.  We put in a cheaper double cabinet (oak, of course), 4x4 tile on the walls, Kohler?s smallest corner shower, ugly vinyl  flooring and, oh joy, Hollywood lights on both sides of the mirrors.  We actually remodeled in 2014. From 1994 to 2014 we planned. What I really mean is that we argued.  Hubby wanted cutting edge. I wanted traditional.  He wanted a bigger shower.  I wanted a bigger bathtub.  And then the whole messy pot of ideas got pushed to the back burner.

Enter Kristi. She had already done a large shed for us with an attached porch so we knew we liked her attention to detail and respect for the style of the house. (In fact, our home was on a tour and people kept asking if the shed was the ?servant?s quarters.?).

First she sat on the potty (the top was closed!) and listened to us talk with one ear while her other was listening to the ideas already spinning in her head.  ?Yeah, well that wall?s gotta go.?  Converted a big area under the stairs into a small useable area and bought us a feeling of spaciousness. Cool.

She carved out a new shower area for the hubby and I found a "Victoria and Albert? tub that is bigger than the old one but takes up less room.  We decided on that 1930s black and white look with console sinks and old-fashion-y chrome hardware.  My fave part is the push button light switches with the mother of pearl buttons.

A woman is only as good as the men she hires and Kristi?s subs are top-notch.  The tile guy ? wow. Home Depot presented its usual nightmare, even accusing him of having picked up the order before and trying to get more for free!  He ended up pretty much pulling apart the tile sheets so he could create the greek key pattern. The floor heating is marvelous as well.

The plumber, Bob the P, was very good.  At one point he called me upstairs as he?d cut through a low voltage wire under the bathtub.  Turns out it was for the doorbell ? a very odd place to find it!  You would?ve thought he cut the cord to granny?s respirator!

Needless to say, it was fixed without comment or delay. Almost a year later we noticed a small leak under one of the sinks.  He stopped over within a day or two and it turned out to be a manufacturing defect. We had to force him to write out an invoice.

We?ve worked with some contractors who are very protective of their subs ? mostly so they can pick up a percentage of their work.  Kristi will give you their phone numbers and tell you to tell them she said to call.  Her philosophy is apparently if you?ve got a little job that she wasn?t involved in, why not let her customers get the best.

I'd write more but a nice bubble bath seems more in order..."

"At our initial conversation I was extremely impressed with Jack’s knowledge and expertise. When his crew got to work it was clear that they are very hard workers also very knowledgeable. They take pride in their work and the end product is outstanding. The wall they completed was extremely challenging. I would hire them again in a heart beat. The pathway is stunning and they improved the layout of our yard. You would not go wrong to hire them."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Federal architecture is most common in urban areas throughout the New England states, including the older parts of New York, Pennsylvania (namely, Boston and Philadelphia), Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The style also dominated in parts of Georgia in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, so many historical homes in the area embody this home design. Salem, MA, has two historic districts that predominantly feature this architectural style: Chestnut Street District and the Salem Maritime National Historic Site.

You'll find Arts and Crafts homes across the country in varying styles. On the East Coast, bungalows and Tudor Revivals fill the Boston area through New Jersey. In the West, Mission-style homes incorporate terracotta shingles, white stucco siding, and rounded archways.

Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.

When planning a new build, meet with an architect as your first step. Architects will often work with specific contractors and can ensure the contractor on your project is qualified and experienced to handle your build. Both the architect and the contractor should be involved with the project from the early stages, but the process may be smoother when you start with an architect.

As with most large-scale home renovation projects, you’ll need an architect to map out the exact layout and specs of your above-garage room, which is required in many municipalities. Some general contractors will serve as your architect, or they may bring on a residential architect to assist with the plans.
