From Beige to Bold: A Luxurious New Bathroom in Blue Bell, PA

November 29, 2022 No Comments

Our Blue Bell clients came to us wanting to update their primary bathroom, which at the time featured a closed off shower stall and oversized tub. Since this was the family’s primary bath, we wanted to make sure it delivered plenty of opportunities to rest and relax while providing major functionality. It was important to the family that the needs of their twin daughters were kept in mind throughout the design process. To make this space special and unique, we brought in all of the bells and whistles with the latest in bathroom technology and high-end style, let’s take a look!

A Shower Built for Style

This Blue Bell home’s original shower felt more like a closet. It was confining, difficult to clean, and had limited shelf storage. The homeowners stopped using their primary shower because of all the limitations of the original design. By reconfiguring the bathroom space and shrinking down the footprint of the tub area, we were able to give the homeowners a more open feeling, spa-like shower. We swapped the old shower’s small square beige tile for large-format rich, dark gray and black marbled porcelain tiles. This instantly made the space feel much larger and more refined.

We continued that color motif on the smaller shower floor tiles, which replaced the previous space’s shower pan. To bring both fun and therapy to the area, lots of different shower heads were used, including an oversized main shower head as well as a handheld option and several built-in jets.

This is all brought together with high-tech convenience by a Moen digital shower controller which can be controlled through a mobile app featuring preset temperature control. Now the family never has to spend extra time trying to get the shower to that “just right temperature.” We’re sure that will make their mornings much more relaxing.

Warm Woods Create a Natural

Bathroom Retreat

Wood isn’t the first material most people think of for a bathroom design. However, it can work wonders in warming up and softening the hard lines of tile and stone. In their bathroom remodel, our Blue Bell clients chose a gorgeous Pottery Barn Vanity, generously sized with a double sink that features a neutral marble top and polished nickel finishes. This vanity, with its many drawers and storage shelves is truly a centerpiece of the new bathroom, combining classic elements with modern lines and aesthetic touches.

The warm tones of the vanity were carried through to the matching mirrored bathroom cabinets. On the opposing wall, we added a rustic wooden beam shelf to pull the feeling of wood throughout the space. Here, the family can add decorative touches to personalize the room even further.

Transforming a Tub From

Oversized to Indulgent

Bigger isn’t always better, especially when it comes to bathroom tubs. The wrong tub can take up too much room and limit the functionality of the rest of the space. That is what our Blue Bell clients experienced with their out-of-date jetted bathtub. To take back some of their square footage and put it to better use, we added a spa tub, which provides all of the soaking opportunities for relaxation while using only a portion of the bathroom’s floor space. This smaller footprint allowed us to give the family the best of both worlds, a roomy and relaxing shower and the space to sit and soak peacefully.

3 Signs Your Home Needs Remodeling

November 11, 2022 No Comments

Remodeling a house is a big undertaking, and you need the help of a good remodeling contractor to get through the process. According to Comfy Living, a good 80% of homes in the U.S. are more than 20 years old and in need of improvement. This fact shows just how popular remodeling is. But if you take really good care of your home, you might not see that the home could use some remodeling. Here are three signs to watch for that show you are in need of home remodeling.

1. The Home Starts Needing Constant Repairs

Homes need repair. That’s just a fact of home ownership. But when the repairs become constant, it’s time to look at the structure of the house as well as things like the flooring and fixtures. Sometimes ripping out part of the home and rebuilding and remodeling are more efficient than doing constant repairs.

2. You’ve Just Gotten Rid of a Hidden Bug Infestation

Simply having a bug infestation doesn’t mean your house needs full remodeling. But if the infestation was hidden and large, such as with termites, that’s a good sign to start remodeling the home. If nothing else, you need to repair internal damage caused by the bugs and ensure entry points are sealed up. Home remodeling is a great way to accomplish this.

2. People Compliment Your “Vintage” Fixtures

Fashions and styles tend to go through cycles, coming back as vintage fashion usually a couple of decades after they were first hot. If you’ve started noticing that the fixtures in your home that were new when you bought the place are now being called names like “vintage,” it’s time to update. Obviously, if you like having time-capsule kitchens, then the vintage label might not seem so bad. But behind that older stove lies potentially older wiring that needs to be updated or gas lines that you need to convert to another power source.

Remodeling a home isn’t done overnight, so if you’ve decided to start changing up your living space, contact home remodeling companies for estimates and ideas. You can remodel room by room or all at once, but you’ll need a good contractor in either case. Contact us today at Creative Contracting in North Wales, PA to get started on your remodeling project.

Top 3 Qualities to Look for in a Bathroom Remodeler

November 8, 2022 No Comments

Home remodeling, especially bathroom remodeling, seems to be on every homeowner’s radar. About 51% of homeowners report they have a home remodeling project planned for the next year, according to Angi. If you are among the 51% of homeowners with remodeling plans and your bathroom is on the list, choosing the right bathroom remodeling company is vital. Look for these three qualities in a bathroom remodeler to get the best results.

1. Track Record of Excellent Service

While historical performance can’t necessarily predict future performance, it’s a good indicator. Having a good track record is an important quality to look for in a remodeling company. A strong reputation for leaving customers satisfied is hard-won. It means that the remodeling company makes customer service a priority.

2. Experience

One of the key qualities to ensure that your bathroom remodeling project comes together effortlessly (on your part) is experience. The right, experienced remodeling company will be able to overcome any obstacles that they come across during your bathroom renovation because they will likely have come across the obstacle before. Experience is also a factor when it comes to the level of skills that the contractors bring to the table. Choosing a home remodeling company that is established and has the right experience is one of the best ways to get your project done to perfection.

3. Licensed and Insured

You should never hire any company that is not both licensed and insured. Having a business license is proof that the company has taken the steps and has the experience needed to register with the city or state. Being insured means they are able to protect themselves in the event of an accident, rather than the responsibility falling on you as the homeowner.

We all spend a lot of time in the bathroom. Why not make your bathroom a place you want to be? The right company can ensure that you get all the advantages of a newly refinished bathroom. Look for the qualities above in a home remodeling team to ensure that you are getting the best value. Call us at Creative Contracting in North Wales, PA to learn more today!
