3 Reasons a Master Bedroom Remodel Is Worth the Investment

December 9, 2022 No Comments

Master bedroom remodels are an undertaking that will present multiple advantages. No matter your budget, there are actions that you can take to revamp your master bedroom space to the condition that you deserve. By putting the time and money into your bedroom remodel, you will reap countless benefits. Here are three reasons why a master bedroom remodel is worth the investment.

1. Increase Your Space and Storage

When embarking on a master suite remodel, additional storage space is on many top-priority lists. As many people can vouch for, a cluttered room can soon become disorganized and dysfunctional for everyday living. By implementing practical storage methods while remodeling, this chaos can be no more. Some popular space-saving installments include built-in shelving, closet renovations, or storage-saving furniture.

2. Increase Your Comfort Level

A master bedroom is where you want to feel most comfortable. With this considered, a bedroom remodel will be an investment for your quality of life. Each homeowner has different wants or needs for living spaces, and a remodel is the perfect time to target these desires and add them to your master bedroom. Design-build remodelers, like those located in North Wales, PA, can assist with brainstorming practical remodel choices. Some examples of remodels for increasing your comfort level may include elevating your lighting system, improving your heating and cooling services, replacing doors, installing additional wardrobe shelving, and more.

3. Increase Your Home’s Value

In addition to being an investment in your own storage space, comfort, and quality of life, a master bedroom remodel will increase the overall value of your home. As remodels are made in a modern and functional fashion, there will be greater demand for your home. As a result, you will be able to receive more money if and when the house is back on the market!

A master bedroom remodel can increase your space, your comfort level, and your home’s value. These facts are proof that taking the necessary steps to invest in your spaces will not only add value to your home, but your life as well!

What Are My Style Options When Remodeling My Kitchen?

December 6, 2022 No Comments

The kitchen remodeling process can be a special time to create a space that reflects your taste and style choices. There are a few different aesthetic styles you can choose from when remodeling your space. From Scandinavian, rustic farmhouse, and modern, you can find the perfect style for your home. Let’s take a look at three different types of styles you can choose from.

Scandinavian Style

With the sleek and clean look of the Scandinavian style, your kitchen will soon look open and organized for any home gathering. While this kitchen style is like the minimalist design style, there are distinct differences. According to Home & Gardens, Scandinavian styles include cozier textiles, warm-toned wood accents, and neutral color schemes. Implementing these naturally toned materials can create a calming and soothing kitchen.

Large amounts of natural lighting, light-toned limed wood, greenery, and refurbished furniture or kitchen materials are the basis of a Scandinavian kitchen. By incorporating these elements into your design build remodeling, you will achieve this classic style that will make your space feel refreshing and serene.

Rustic Farmhouse Style

The rustic farmhouse style incorporates deep color schemes and vintage accents into the kitchen space. These elements can give a rugged and homey feel to your kitchen space.

Before remodeling your kitchen with a rustic farmhouse style, select neutral colors to add to the space. The neutral color scheme pairs well with the rugged furniture and cabinetry that often accompanies a rustic farmhouse-style kitchen. Designer-build remodelers in North Wales, Philadelphia can assist with decisions about elements such as light fixtures and other kitchen accessories.

Modern Style

A modern-styled kitchen is contemporary with its polished and shining design. Deep-colored cabinetry, lighter kitchen backsplashes, and surprising color additions are aspects of a modern-styled kitchen. Colors in the current modern design style include forest green, navy blue, and a variety of gray shades. These colors are often on cabinetry, backsplashes, or other kitchen accessories.

Cabinetry handles or barstools typically have bright and unique colors within a modern kitchen style. While design build remodeling, implement these bright and surprising colors into the areas of your choosing and watch your space flourish with character.

According to Comfy Living, 81% of home-owning renovators were boomers or Gen X in 2018, so if you’re in one of these generations, then start planning your remodel today! Design build remodeling may occasionally seem overwhelming but investing your time in a kitchen renovation will bring your space to life. Take the time to choose a kitchen style that fits your style by getting in touch with us today.

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. A shower bench flows naturally into the tub area in a warm Storm Gray quartz. The shower space is completed with gorgeous glass panels that ensure the room always feels open and inviting.

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.

Creative Contracting Helps Build

Better Bathrooms

We were thrilled to give our Blue Bell clients their dream bathroom and we’re sure they’re looking forward to guests experiencing the space over the holidays and through the new year. We help bring your visions for relaxation and luxury to life, with a simple, straightforward process that prioritizes your family’s comfort. Ready to soak in the experience of a fully remodeled bathroom? We’re ready to get started.

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!

This Outdoor Living Room is Built for Relaxation and Game Day with Friends

October 27, 2022 No Comments

As the chilly winds of autumn roll into our region, curling up by a toasty fire feels like the perfect way to unwind. Our Lower Gwynedd, PA client wanted to expand their outdoor entertaining space from meager to magnificent. The homeowners wanted to keep the enjoyment going for many months out of the year, from sunny spring days all the way through to the first frost. So we designed a patio and deck area that brought together all of their favorite entertaining elements in one expansive space.   

A Deck and Patio in Lower Gwynedd for All Seasons

To help our clients enjoy the beauty of the outdoors in their own backyard, we first blended a new open patio area in with a newly constructed covered deck. This provided both a place to soak in the sun on warm days and a living room space to retreat to when the temps cool down or there are spring showers. 

To begin, we built a low-maintenance flooring base using Trex decking, in a warm wood grain tone. This composite deck option will provide the homeowners with many years of maintenance-free enjoyment. There’s no painting, staining or refinishing required. Then we moved on to building the centerpiece of the outdoor space, a grand stone fireplace using natural stone in earth tones of gray, beige and brown.

Fireplaces Extend Outdoor Entertaining

This beautiful fireplace, with its minimal natural wood mantle, will give the family a lovely place to curl up and enjoy the fall season. We’re sure there will also be plenty of parties here whether it’s game day for the Eagles or watching the Phils in the postseason. There’s nothing like hearing the crackle of the fire as you gather with friends or curl up with a soft blanket and a warm mug of apple cider. 

No area was overlooked. To further enhance the feeling of warmth in this outdoor living room, we added Azek millwork to the ceiling. Here, in warm wood honey tones, the ceiling becomes a gorgeous natural-looking focal point. It’s accented by a gorgeous ceiling fan and heaters to ensure guests always enjoy optimum comfort. 

Dedicated Spaces for All the Outdoor Entertaining Needs

To provide plenty of space to entertain, the layout was designed to let everyone have room to relax. Here, the outdoor dining area is set off to the side allowing for ample living room style seating in the covered deck. Then a bump out was added to the other side of the living room to leave plenty of space for the family’s outdoor cooking appliances. 

Creative Contracting designed this remodeled deck space in coordination with the homeowner’s interior remodel that included a new kitchen design. We made certain to take into account the flow of the interior space with the new outdoor areas. Windows, access and lighting were all considered  in our detailed design-build process, highlighting excellent craftsmanship in both our interior and exterior workmanship. 

Now our clients have a breathtaking place to host neighborhood parties, relax after a long day or enjoy family TV time by the fire. Where will you be watching the Eagles play next season? Now is the perfect time to start designing the outdoor living area of your dreams, so by next fall you’ll be ready to unwind in your very own getaway space that’s conveniently located right in your own backyard. 

We loved creating this amazing outdoor space and wish our homeowners many years of fun, joyous times in their gorgeous new outdoor living room. Here’s to many years of tailgates by the fire!

Three Necessities for an Attic Renovation

Attic space in progress

Is your house bursting at the seams? Do you feel like no matter what you do there just isn’t enough room for everything? Feeling like you are living on top of each other, and you just can’t take it anymore? If the answer is yes, look up to the attic!

If you have an unfinished attic, you are one step closer to having a home that works with you, not against you. Attic spaces already have the basics – a floor, walls, and roof. With a little creativity, your attic can become that playroom, extra bedroom, home office, gym, or hobby room of your dreams!

Choosing A Vanity for your Bathroom Remodel

July 3, 2020 No Comments

There are lots of styles and considerations when choosing the vanity for your bathroom remodel. Cabinetry designs have really changed in the last 30 years. One of the biggest differences is in vanity height. A standard bathroom vanity was 30″ high in the 1980’s, now the standard vanity height is 36.” The reason for the change is all about comfort. It is much easier on the back to have a bathroom sink the same height as a typical kitchen sink. Leaning over causes stress on the lower back and having a surface at work- station height makes sense in most instances. Custom vanities can be made for ADA height requirements, or if you want something lower for children. Most families are fine with a step stool for young children – they grow fast!

This is the original Master Bath floor plan of a two-story colonial home built in the 1960’s. Notice a tiny bathroom with a single sink and a cramped corner shower. Outside of the bathroom was an awkward dressing space with two closets. The closet doors hinged into each other and much of the space was not easily accessible.
