Spring Home Maintenance Checklist: 10 Things to Review After Winter

May 2, 2024 No Comments

With April in full swing and the summer season just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to give your home a thorough check-up. Spring is a season of renewal, and just like nature, our homes need some extra care and attention to ensure they’re ready for the upcoming months. To help you get started, we’ve put together a list of 10 essential things to review in your home after the winter.

Inspect your roof: Winter weather can be tough on your roof. Look for any missing, damaged, or loose shingles and schedule repairs if needed.

Clean your gutters: Clogged gutters can cause water damage to your home’s foundation. Clear out any debris and ensure that water is flowing freely.

Check your windows and doors: Look for any gaps or cracks in your windows and doors that may have developed during the winter. Seal them to improve energy efficiency and prevent drafts.

Service your HVAC system: Schedule a professional tune-up for your air conditioning system to ensure it’s ready for the summer months ahead.

Inspect your foundation: Check for any cracks or signs of moisture in your home’s foundation. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.

Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors: Replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and test them to ensure they’re working correctly.

Clean your dryer vent: A clogged dryer vent can be a fire hazard. Clean it out to improve your dryer’s efficiency and safety.

Inspect your deck or patio: Look for any signs of damage or wear and tear on your outdoor living spaces. Make necessary repairs and consider giving them a fresh coat of stain or paint.

Check your plumbing: Look for any leaks or signs of water damage around your pipes, toilets, and sinks. Address any issues promptly to prevent costly repairs down the line.

Tidy up your landscaping: Remove any dead branches or debris from your yard, and trim back any overgrown plants or trees. This will improve your home’s curb appeal and prevent potential damage to your property.

By taking the time to review these 10 essential items in your home, you’ll ensure that your property is ready for the spring and summer months ahead. To make it even easier for you, we’ve created a handy checklist you can download and print out for your convenience.

Creating an Indoor Endless Pool for Family Therapy and Fun

February 28, 2024 No Comments

Meeting Special Therapy Needs

When Doug and Christina found themselves facing the challenge of suspended therapy sessions for their son due to pandemic closures, they knew they needed a solution. Their son’s special therapy needs prompted them to explore options for year-round access to a pool. Water therapy offers a myriad of health benefits, especially for individuals with specific therapeutic requirements. Thus, the idea of an indoor Endless Pool was born.

The Home Addition

To accommodate their vision, a small home addition was incorporated into their home, adjacent to the existing sunroom. This addition seamlessly connected to the house, providing convenient access to the pool from both the sunroom and a staircase leading from the garage.

The split-level design of their home made it effortless to access pool equipment from the garage. Safety regulations were diligently met by ensuring the stairs could be folded away when not in use, ensuring a secure pool entrance.

Family Excitement

While the primary motivation for the pool was the therapeutic needs of their son, it quickly evolved into a source of excitement for the entire family. All three children, along with their parents, eagerly anticipated the endless possibilities the pool offered. From leisurely floating with pool noodles to the invigorating exercise of swimming laps against the Endless Pool’s current options, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

A Visionary Touch

Nestled against a backdrop of a picturesque golf course with stunning sunsets, the family’s daughter had a vision. She imagined the walls of the pool room adorned with colors mirroring the breathtaking sunset views they cherished. Collaborating with Katie DuBree of katiedubreedesigns.com, the family meticulously selected the hues for the walls. Together, they envisioned the warm, orange glow of the sun setting in the west corner of the room, bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside.

The Ultimate Exercise: Fun

This family’s journey from a suspended therapy session to the creation of an indoor Endless Pool was not just about fulfilling a need; it was about embracing possibilities, fostering connections, and cherishing moments of sheer happiness.

For Creative Contracting, the most gratifying aspect of this project was witnessing a loving family come together to create a special place where fun transcended mere activity. Beyond addressing therapeutic needs, the indoor Endless Pool became a sanctuary where laughter, joy, and bonding flourished. It exemplified how a thoughtful addition could not only cater to practical requirements but also enrich the lives of those it serves.

The Full Reveal: An Aging in Place Addition in Montgomery County

January 30, 2024 No Comments

Navigating the large layout of a two-story colonial was not what our clients had in mind as they entered their golden years. Well aware of the changes they needed to make to overcome the challenges of climbing stairs in their current home, this Lansdale couple explored luxury senior living as well as ranch homes in the area. They sought a solution that would not only meet their current needs but also cater to their evolving requirements.

After an exhaustive investigation and a realization of the limits within the housing market, the couple made a smart decision – they chose to enhance their existing home. The addition of a first-floor primary bedroom suite became the cornerstone of their plan, allowing them to remain in the home and neighborhood that holds a special place in their hearts.

A Thoughtful and Contemporary Primary Suite

Opting for a more contemporary aesthetic in their new addition, the couple embraced a sophisticated palette of grays and warm neutrals. The primary bedroom suite offers a spacious haven, complete with a small sitting area for moments of quiet reflection. Beautiful glass-paned French Doors were designed to allow no-step access to the expanded patio, creating a harmonious flow between the indoors and outdoors.

A custom-designed closet in the bedroom provides extra storage, ensuring everything has its place. Pocket doors were thoughtfully designed to maximize the space and provide an uninterrupted flow into the large walk-in closet.

Balancing Beauty and Functionality in This Primary Bathroom

In the primary bathroom, we strike a perfect balance between beauty and functionality. A double vanity takes center stage, featuring a rich espresso wood and a sleek marble countertop. The brushed nickel fixtures and large-format tile floor display various shades of gray and infuse the space with a sense of sophistication, while the black metal arch mirrors provide a modern touch.

To meet the practical needs of the homeowners, custom cabinetry has been seamlessly integrated into the primary bathroom. This addition not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also provides extra storage for clothing and laundry essentials. Ensuring a cohesive design, a makeup table in the same rich espresso wood as the double vanity perfectly complements all the cabinetry in this inviting primary bathroom.

The homeowners’ forward-thinking approach to their future needs was remarkable. To suit both their current lifestyle and future considerations, we crafted a fully accessible, threshold-free shower featuring a bench and a tiled niche for storage. ADA-compliant grab bars ensure safety without compromising the overall design. The shower walls adorned with light gray textured tiles add a touch of sophistication to this walk-in shower, complemented by dark gray floor tiles and a matching shower niche that ties in with the overall bathroom floor design.

2023 Year in Review

December 22, 2023 No Comments

As 2023 comes to a close, we’re taking a look back at some of the memorable projects we completed for our clients across Montgomery and Bucks counties. 2023 was a big year for kitchen transformations in the Philadelphia suburbs. We’re grateful our clients chose to entrust such a significant home remodel to our Creative Contracting team. If you’re considering a kitchen remodel in the new year, these projects can serve as a great inspiration of what is possible when it comes to kitchen design.

At Creative Contracting, our approach is always to listen to your needs, understand your style and preferences and turn that into the space you’ve been dreaming of! With our design-build team, we’re the only design- build firm you need to complete a kitchen, bath, whole home remodel or addition project. Now let’s look back at some of those gorgeous kitchens we renovated in 2023.

Bucks County Kitchen Gets A Sunny and Elegant Refresh

This Warminster family came to us because their kitchen didn’t reflect their modern, sophisticated style. Beyond the outdated aesthetic, it lacked light and the dark atmosphere made it feel even more cramped and uninviting. In addition, our clients wanted to find some creative ways to maximize their storage space to make the kitchen much more enjoyable to use.

To address all of these requests, our design team went to work to come up with a strategy to lighten and brighten the space while giving it a modern refresh that included plenty of ingenious storage solutions. This began with the foundational elements of the space: new vinyl plank flooring in a warm spring oak color and crisp white custom shaker cabinetry which added plenty of elevated architectural elements to the space.

From there, we added in two types of complementary countertops in natural black stone and white quartz to add visual interest. We removed a cumbersome above-the-sink window and replaced it with a trio of windows for more user-friendly operation.

Finally, we added in the finer details to create a fresh, refined look. These included brushed gold cabinet hardware, dimmable task lighting and gold chandelier-style pendant lighting, along with a natural Carrara marble tile to further warm up the space. And to address those storage concerns, we crafted an oversized island with ample drawers and shelving to handle pantry staples and all of those kitchen gadgets that should be close at hand. The end result is a bright, inviting space that is sure to welcome the family in from Sunday breakfast to weeknight dinners.

From Basic Kitchen to Breathtaking in Montgomery County

In Wynnewood, a family’s love for cooking together sparked a kitchen transformation request: bring in more light, more space, and more connection to the outdated kitchen. Their old kitchen felt isolated from the rest of the living spaces. And the style left a lot to be desired. So our team went to work, dismantling walls that were breaking up the flow of conversation and connection. The result is an open, airy kitchen space that harmoniously connects with the surrounding living areas.

Our clients connected with the right, classic feel of navy blue, so we used this color for the shaker cabinets and accented it with brushed gold pulls and a timeless gray subway tile for the backsplash. Wide plank flooring brings a touch of warmth to the space and a gorgeous range hood and spacious island create focal points that invite both the family and their guests to be a part of their culinary passion.

Modern Farmhouse Gets an Elevated Touch in Montgomery County, PA

Rounding out some of our favorite kitchen remodels we completed in the past year is this light and airy Montgomery kitchen transformation. What made this kitchen remodel particularly memorable was the amount of small detail decisions we guided our clients through.

We assisted in incorporating warm, natural elements into the white, modern space, starting with the traditional red oak floors and extending to the gorgeous white oak island. Every detail, from the custom shelving and a charging storage cabinet to the addition of floor-length windows and a striking Brizio luxury faucet, was deliberately chosen to enhance the style and atmosphere of the space.
Upgrade your kitchen, enhance your daily experience, and create lasting memories in an inviting space. Imagine the possibilities for the upcoming holiday season. Whether it’s your kitchen or any other area in your home, the Creative Contracting team is ready to assist you in completely renovating your space, making it more functional and visually appealing.

Embracing Timeless Elegance: The White Kitchen Reimagined

November 15, 2023 No Comments

Navigating the winding path of a major home renovation can lead to a plethora of questions. One hot topic in the kitchen realm? The color conundrum. White kitchens, while wildly popular, often create hesitation among homeowners. Fear not! White kitchens aren’t just a trend; they’re a timeless staple. Worried your white haven might lack character? Think again. The possibilities to enhance your all-white kitchen are as abundant as the spice aisle. Here are a handful of our favorite kitchens, proving that a white kitchen is the ultimate canvas for versatility.

Dress Up Your Kitchen With Seasonal Colors

This kitchen features a clean white and black design with custom cabinetry, providing an ideal canvas for adding touches of seasonal color. In this case, we chose splashes of yellow for the client. The original travertine floors seamlessly complement the new custom cabinetry and natural stone backsplash. Accent lighting plays a crucial role, and the uniformity of the glass elements contributes to enlarging the space and infusing it with a sense of brightness and warmth.

Transcend Trends with Transitional Design

Transitional Kitchen with White Cabitnetry

The white cabinetry in this family-friendly entertainment space adopts a more contemporary vibe, enhanced by non-mullioned glass on both cabinets and windows, streamlining the overall design. Classic elements, such as traditional hardware and elegant trim, introduce a touch of tradition, resulting in a transitional design for the kitchen.

Soft details like the light gray island and metal screening in the bar sink cabinets add subtle nuances that contribute to the overall stunning appeal of the space.

Use Color and Texture in a White Kitchen

The coffered ceiling, wainscoting, and cabinet trims showcase classic Hampton-style custom woodwork.

The backsplash, featuring a dimensional basket weave, reinforces the timeless patterns of a family kitchen. Black and white surfaces play a grounding role for the white elements, and the whimsical touch of red accents coordinates seamlessly with the hardworking Wolf range knobs.

Complement White Cabinets With Wood Accents

In this elegant family kitchen, a harmonious combination of soft white oak and brushed gold creates a beautiful aesthetic. The newly refinished oak floors, custom-stained to complement the cabinetry, make a stunning visual impact. The expanded French doors contribute to visually enlarging the existing space.

Mindfully placed white oak extends to features like shelves with a hidden recharging center and file cabinets, creating a sweet family workspace. The same oak used for these elements also replaces the family room fireplace mantel, ensuring a consistent accent color throughout the entire space.

Infuse Character With Rustic Charm

This charming in-law suite on a Bucks County farm estate exudes cozy warmth. Embracing the property’s origins, country touches like a honed black granite countertop, beadboard, and bubbled glass contribute to a rustic atmosphere. The use of mixed metals is defined by a traditional faucet, bronze hardware, and copper pots.

In the world of kitchen renovations, the possibilities are as diverse as personal tastes. Your white kitchen can be a canvas for unparalleled creativity and individuality. From subtle rustic accents to bold modern statements, the key is to embrace the unique aspects that reflect your style. Whether it’s a splash of color, textured surfaces, or distinctive hardware choices, these kitchen projects serve as a reminder that your white kitchen can truly stand out.

Transforming Traditions: A Fun-filled Family Hub Evolves into a Luxury Spa

October 18, 2023 No Comments

When we first stepped into Mark and Linda’s basement, it was a bustling family hub filled with laughter and activity. Craft projects, gaming marathons, kids’ sleepovers, and family TV nights were the norm in this space. It was a versatile area that also housed a small workout zone and a convenient eating bar. But after two decades, it was time for a change.

Evolving Needs

This year, Creative Contracting had the privilege of returning to Mark and Linda’s home to remodel their basement once more. The dynamics of their family had evolved, and their vision for the basement had shifted drastically. No longer a hub for family activities, this space was now reimagined as a luxury private gym and spa.

Luxury Amenities Galore

The new basement is nothing short of a lavish sanctuary. It now boasts a fully-equipped gym, a rejuvenating sauna, and a lavish bathroom that exudes opulence. Every detail has been meticulously planned to ensure maximum comfort and luxury. There’s even a Subzero wine fridge for those post-workout indulgences, and a state-of-the-art massage chair to ease those tired muscles.

After a relaxing sauna session, a handy ice maker in the bathroom allows you to quickly fill the oversized soaking tub with refreshing, ice-cold water.

The large shower and warming drawer for towels complete the spa-like experience. No more hauling towels up and down the basement steps – there’s even a washer and dryer conveniently placed in the bathroom.

Modern Aesthetics

The aesthetic transformation of our client’s basement is remarkable. The ceiling has been opened up to add height and painted in a sophisticated matte black, creating an industrial edge. The new LVF flooring, laid on an angle, cleverly mitigates any sense of narrowness in the space. Custom hand-applied paint techniques adorn the walls, exuding an edgy, gym-inspired vibe.

The black custom cabinetry adds a touch of glamour while harmonizing with the black ceiling, serving as a chic anchor for the overall look.

The Road to Bathroom Bliss

The bathroom is a showstopper in its own right. Bold encaustic tiles steal the spotlight, while the black flooring and warm tones exude elegance. White custom cabinetry complement the bold elements of this bathroom and provide ample storage for our clients’ needs.

The challenge of installing the enormous spa required lowering it through the upstairs family room floor since it wouldn’t fit through the basement doors. Despite this obstacle, you’d never guess that the family room flooring was ever disturbed.

Illuminating Ambiance

In a room with no natural light, lighting becomes paramount. The walls in the bathroom feature a hand-applied plaster finish that gleams in the artificial glow. Battery-operated flickering candles in large rattan holders not only add a soft, ambient glow but also serve as a safety precaution for the family’s cats.

Speaking of which, the doors have been custom altered to allow the feline family members easy access to their kitty litter boxes in the basement.

Upgrading With Sleek Fixtures

To complete the look, fixtures in the luxury spa bath have been finished in a matte black and brushed nickel, adding a modern touch that harmonizes with the overall aesthetic. This amazing basement transformation is a testament to the evolving needs and tastes of a family over time. From a bustling family space to a luxury gym and spa retreat, it’s a stunning example of how creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail can breathe new life into a cherished space. At Creative Contracting, we take pride in turning your visions into realities, one project at a time. Contact us today to see how you can transform your space to suit your current lifestyle.

3 Benefits of Reimagining Your Basement With a Remodel

One of the most forgotten parts of your home is the basement. Whether you use it as a storage room or a laundry room, you may want to consider updating or upgrading it with a basement remodeling contractor from our team in Lansdale, PA. Let’s take a look at three benefits of doing so.

1. Raise the Value of Your Home

When you’re thinking of finishing your basement, you want to take property value into account.

Adding flooring, better walls, or even an additional bathroom to the basement can boost your property’s value. Ensure your project goes well with help from a home remodeling contractor.

2. Enhance the Functionality of Your Home

If you’re looking to increase the livable space in your home, then the basement is a great area to focus on. Also, if part of your basement is used as a laundry room, then you can improve the functionality and flow of doing laundry by adding shelving and cabinets to store all of your laundry necessities. With so many ways you can transform this space, you can get everything you’ve been wanting with a renovation.

3. Improve Storage and Organization

Along with adding storage to make your day-to-day life more functional, as mentioned above, you can also ensure your stored items are organized. By remodeling this area of your Pennsylvania home, you’ll benefit from smart storage and a finished basement so there’s no chance of any water damage. This way, your stored items can be safe all year long. Also, with built-in shelves, your important documents can be off the ground and in safe condition.

According to ComfyLiving, in the United States, most houses need remodeling and improvement because around 80% of them are at least 20 years old. Is your basement outdated, or is it only being used as a storage room? You should love every area in your home. Don’t wait to start planning a remodel with our experienced home remodeling company.

At the end of each day, you may crave a warm and inviting space to relax and conduct your nighttime routine in. With professional primary suite remodeling services, your space can be transformed. Here are some ways our Lansdale, PA home remodeling company can construct a comfortable primary suite.

Wood Accents

Part of your remodel may include kicking down a wall and opening up the space. With a brand new wall to work with, the sky’s the limit.

Warm Lighting

Warm lighting can make a huge difference when it comes to crafting a comfortable and relaxing space. Our primary suite remodeling team can incorporate light fixtures in the ceiling that can be adjusted in terms of dimness and warmth. This way, you can change the lighting based on your mood.

Large Windows

Artificial lighting is necessary during certain parts of the day but having access to natural lighting is important, too. Our design build remodeling firm can conceptualize your new primary suite with large windows and a built-in window seat for ultimate comfort.

Minimalistic

Technology has become a major part of home remodeling projects, but not every room in your home needs such modern features.

You may also consider a glass rain shower to keep the space open and inviting as well as a custom wood double vanity.

Our Blue Bell Bathroom Remodel Wins the 2023 Chrysalis Award

September 26, 2023 No Comments

Recently the bathroom remodel we completed for our clients in Blue Bell, Montgomery County was entered into the 2023 Chrysalis Award sponsored by Qualified Remodeler and Kitchen & Bath Design News. We’re thrilled to announce that this project was awarded the Chrysalis Award for the North region of the U.S. for projects with a budget between $50,000 – $75,000.

From start to finish, we’re so proud of how our team listened to our clients’ needs, designed around their budget and vision to completed the space with exceptional attention to detail. We detailed our approach and how our design-build process allowed for a seamless transition from concept through construction and finally to the stunning finished result.

A Sensational Bathroom Remodel Takes Shape

Our Blue Bell clients came to us wanting to give a new, more dramatic look to their dated, beige bathroom which lacked space and functionality.

The homeowners wanted to swap their old jetted tub for a sleek new soaking tub and bring more style to their basic shower stall. The scope of the remodel would require a complete gut of the entire bathroom in order to bring our clients’ vision to life. Their goal was to create a transitional-style bathroom with the welcoming touches of furniture-style cabinetry paired with state-of-the-art technology such as a Bluetooth controlled shower and body sprays.

After presenting a floor plan, we then began to bring this bathroom remodel to life using design software that allows us to create 3D renderings of the new space. This enables our clients to immerse themselves into the renovation before construction begins.

To create that rich, luxurious look our clients craved we paired a dark shower tile with a custom glass doorless entry to enhance the transitional aspect of the space. The pairing of traditional elements, such as the rustic cabinetry and black metal hardware, with modern touches, like the polished nickel fixtures adds a glamorous contrast that’s visually captivating.

The black and white color palette with neutral gray walls and dark wood is soothing and sets the tone for a tranquil aesthetic that gives the bathroom an elevated level of sophistication and timeless beauty. We’re proud to report that this project stayed within budget and our detailed design and planning allowed for a streamlined process that avoided last minute changes and costly delays.

Creative Solutions to Design Challenges

To not exceed the target budget, our designers needed to find a creative way to fit all of the spacious additions into the bathroom’s original footprint. Part of these confines included needing to keep the toilet in its original location to avoid costly plumbing rerouting.

By eliminating an underused linen closet, we were able to add more space to provide room for the soaking tub, more spacious shower and the generously-sized vanity that our homeowners had their heart set on.

To give the space the elegant, dramatic feel that our clients requested, we brought in rich, dark tiles to ensconce the shower walls and surround the elegant soaking tub. Since the space is windowless, we offset these deep tones of the shower with a crisp white porcelain floor and luxurious Carrara marble countertops. With a combination of wood, stone and tile, the space exudes natural elegance and a harmonious style.

Building an Award-Winning Bathroom in Blue Bell

We’re grateful to the judges who chose to honor our work on this bathroom remodel. But what means the most to us is how thrilled the homeowners are with their remodeled bathroom. Knowing that we were able to create a space that perfectly reflects the refinement of their personal style in a space that will be a welcomed retreat for the entire family for years to come, is what matters most to our team.

By redesigning the layout of this previously cramped bathroom, our team was about to include everything that was on our clients’ wishlist while staying on budget. Our thorough design and materials selection process helped ensure a smooth construction phase and perfectly executed outcome. We look forward to creating more award-winning spaces for homeowners in Bucks and Montgomery Counties.
