Invest in Your Windows

Investing in new windows during a home remodel is a wise decision that can offer several benefits. Windows play a vital role in a home’s energy efficiency, aesthetics, and overall comfort. Here are some benefits of new windows and why it’s a good idea to invest in new windows for your home during your remodel.

Improved Energy Efficiency

Old, drafty windows lead to significant energy loss and higher energy bills. New windows with advanced insulation technologies prevent heat transfer, keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer, which can reduce your heating and cooling costs.

Modern kitchen with island

Enhanced Comfort

New windows provide better insulation, which help maintain a consistent indoor temperature, leading to more comfortable living conditions. Additionally, new windows reduce outside noise, making your home quieter and more peaceful.

Increased Home Value

Upgrading your windows increase the value of your home, which proves beneficial if you plan to sell your home in the future. New windows add curb appeal to your home, making it more attractive to potential buyers.

Better Aesthetics

New windows enhance the overall look of your home, especially if you choose a style that complements your home’s architecture. You can choose from a variety of designs, colors, and materials to match your home’s décor and style.

Lighting fixtures over dining table

Improved Home Security

New windows often come with enhanced security features, such as durable frames, locking systems, and laminated glass, which can provide better protection against intruders and increase your peace of mind.

In conclusion, investing in new windows during a home remodel is a smart choice that can provide numerous benefits. It can improve your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, aesthetics, value, and security. Therefore, if you’re planning a home remodel, consider upgrading your windows to enjoy these advantages.

First Impressions

When a professional designer meets a homeowner for the first consultation about their remodeling project, they will ask a series of questions to understand their client’s needs, wants, and expectations. The questions asked during this initial consultation are essential in creating a successful design and building a relationship of trust between the homeowner and the designer.

The Project Scope

The first set of questions the designer asks are related to the project’s scope. This includes questions about the homeowner’s goals and objectives, the areas of the home they want to remodel, and the budget they have set aside for the project. The designer also wants to know the timeline for completing the project, as well as any constraints that may impact the design, such as zoning or building code requirements.

White kitchen with blue cabinets

Next, the designer asks questions related to the homeowner’s lifestyle and preferences. They may ask about the number of people living in the home, the frequency and size of social gatherings, and any specific activities the homeowner enjoys. This information helps the designer create a design that meets the homeowner’s unique needs.

> Remodeling For Comfort or to Sell? Start with the Kitchen

The Aesthetic

The designer also asks questions about the homeowner’s aesthetic preferences, including color schemes, materials, and design styles. They may ask the homeowner to provide examples of designs they like or dislike to better understand their taste.

Living room with green fireplace surround and sofas

The designer also asks questions related to the home’s current condition, including any structural issues or challenges that may impact the design. They may also ask about the home’s history, including any renovations or additions made in the past.

Overall, a professional designer asks a wide range of questions during the initial consultation to gain a comprehensive understanding of the homeowner’s needs and preferences. By asking these questions and actively listening to the homeowner’s responses, the designer will be able to create a customized design that meets the homeowner’s unique needs, budget, and aesthetic preferences.

The Ideal Flooring

Florida homeowners have a unique set of requirements when it comes to flooring options due to the hot and humid climate. The ideal flooring should be able to withstand high humidity levels and resist mold and mildew growth. Additionally, it should be able to endure the sandy beaches, saltwater, and heavy foot traffic. Here are four of the best flooring options for Florida homeowners.

Porcelain Tile

Tile bathroom floor

Porcelain tile is a popular flooring option in Florida due to its durability, water resistance, and low maintenance requirements. Also, it is available in a wide range of styles, colors, and sizes, making it a versatile option for any interior or exterior space. Porcelain tile is ideal for high-traffic areas such as entryways, kitchens, and bathrooms.

Luxury Vinyl Plank

Luxury vinyl floor

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is an affordable and waterproof flooring option that mimics the look of hardwood. It is an excellent choice for homeowners who want a durable, low-maintenance flooring option without sacrificing aesthetics. LVP is also comfortable to walk on and quieter than other hard surface flooring options.

> Ornamental Keepsakes Inspire Vue Sarasota Man Cave

Bamboo Flooring

Bamboo living room floor

Bamboo flooring is an eco-friendly option that can withstand the high humidity levels in Florida. It is also a durable and easy-to-maintain flooring option that can resist scratches and dents. Additionally, it can add a natural and tropical aesthetic to any interior space.

Engineered Hardwood

Living room hardwood floor

Flooring Engineered hardwood flooring is a popular flooring option for Florida homeowners who want the look of hardwood without the high maintenance requirements. It is made from a top layer of hardwood veneer and a plywood base, making it more durable and resistant to moisture than traditional hardwood. Additionally, engineered hardwood flooring is available in a wide range of styles and colors, making it an excellent choice for any interior space.

> Benefits of New Windows For Your Remodel

In conclusion, the ideal flooring option for Florida homeowners should be able to withstand the humid climate and resist mold and mildew growth. Porcelain tile, luxury vinyl plank, bamboo flooring, and engineered hardwood flooring are some of the best flooring options available. Consider your personal style, budget, and needs when selecting the right flooring option for your home.

Now is the Time

This question comes up a lot, more than you’d think. Well, why not remodel now? If you’re reading this, you’ve most likely been thinking about remodeling for a while now. You just want to change up your space, maybe freshen up with paint colors or redo your kitchen or bathroom. Well, now is as good a time as any and the best time to remodel.

Accommodating Your Schedule

If you have specific time frames that you’re looking into, definitely give us a call. Let’s have that conversation because that determines when we should start your project, how long we think it will take, and the size of your project. These are all great questions to be asking so that we can help accommodate those timelines. Let’s talk about that and get that into motion.

White cabinets in kitchen

 

 

The earlier you start the better because then you have more time to think about it, to think about the design. If you’re someone who likes to have the time to think about how that final design is going to look, the earlier you start the better so that you don’t feel rushed on your decisions. Then you can really take the time that you feel you need to really make that renovation or project your own.

Remodel vs. Renovate: What’s the Difference?

Increase Value

One reason you may want to remodel now is for personal taste or comfort, to fix an issue like the electrical wiring, or simply to improve the efficiency and functionality of your home.

Kitchen with white cabinets and hanging lights

But the #1 reason to remodel your home is to increase your home’s value. The areas of your home that will increase your home’s value and provide you with the greatest return on investment (ROI) are kitchens, home offices, and outdoor spaces.

The cabinetry making up the kitchen island are the same Cabico cabinets but with a cherry chocolate finish. You’ll find pull outs, spice pull outs, double trash drawers, touch latch hardware, and custom panels here. The kitchen is dotted with brushed stain nickel hardware.

Soothing Finishes

The wine cabinet is Elmwood Custom Cabinetry in a coffee finish. The countertops throughout are a natural stone quartz called Calacatta Lavasa. It features a breathtaking warm white background with short brown veins intermingled with long diagonal veins for a modern look. The full-height backsplash is also made up of the same Calacatta Lavasa quartz.

The upper cabinets were installed with seedy glass. Lastly, we reconfigured the framework of the peninsula, taking it from a 42-inch height to countertop level at 36 inches.

Even though homeowners are going all out when it comes to color, it’s still refreshing to see white take center stage in a new kitchen. White will always remain a classic kitchen color.

Getting that Extra Space

Whether you’d like an extra bedroom, home office, music room, craft room, playroom, or some other form of living space, the garage can be an ideal candidate for getting that additional space. Garages are prime areas to turn into more living space. Make sure that such a space has these elements when you convert your garage to ensure the best upgrade.

Flooring

Typically, the existing floor in any garage is a concrete slab and quite a bit lower than the house floor. Converting the garage into living space usually means installing an entirely new floor structure. There are a lot of options for doing this.

Inšpirácie: predsiene | Pohodo.sk

One is to construct a wood framed floor that goes with the floor in the main house. Another option is to put in a wood framed or concrete floor that’s a step or two down from the main house.

Garage Doors

When you convert your garage to a livable space, there’s always the problem of what to do with the garage door opening. Because this opening and the garage doors have such a large impact on the entire look of the house, it makes sense to fill the opening with a large-scale element.

For example, try keeping a garage door in the opening while making sure the door is weather-tight. Standard carriage-style garage doors are also good options, as they can be a featured element inside while maintaining the original garage look from the outside. You can also try using large windows or doors to fill in the opening.

Plumbing

Maybe you’d like to convert your garage into a kitchenette or a guest bath? This means plumbing will need to be added. Thinking about ways to easily add plumbing like building up the floor to provide a space for plumbing pipes underneath will help create a seamless new space with the rest of the interior.

Red and black garage workstation

Ceiling

Increasing the height of the ceiling is a possibility if the garage is freestanding or doesn’t have a second floor above it. A vaulted ceiling will certainly add to the room’s overall spaciousness and character.

Temp Control

Lastly, don’t forget that the new living area will need to be heated and cooled. Depending on the size of the area and its location, you may not be able to use the existing “central” heating and cooling system. If this is the case, mini split systems can be a good option.

Quartz & Quartzite

Many confuse quartz and quartzite countertops, thinking they’re more similar than different. Actually, they are two very different materials. Let’s dive into what each are and their differences.

Quartzite

Let’s start with quartzite. Quartzite is a natural rock. A quartzite countertop (as seen in the pictures below) begins as sandstone, which undergoes a natural process of heat and pressure and then fused with quartz crystals. Quartzite has a glassy appearance and resembles marble in some cases. This generally desirable appearance has made quartzite one of the most popular countertop materials. Quartzite typically comes in shades of white or light grey.

Quartzite Countertop

Quartz

A quartz countertop (as seen in the picture below) is made with the same crystals found in quartzite, but a man-made process binds the crystal with resins, pigments, and other materials like bits of glass. This process results in a more versatile and durable material that comes in a wide variety of colors and designs.

More Differences

The stylistic differences are remarkable too. Quartzite is sometimes mistaken for marble or granite, so if you’re looking for a natural look with movement, you’ll want a quartzite countertop. Quartz can be made to look like any stone though and is offered in many shades and patterns. If you have a specific color or pattern in mind, quartz is the material you’ll want to choose.

Cool Smart Home Features for Your Kitchen & Bath

Another big difference is the care routine and resilience. Quartz is extremely durable so it’s a hard surface that’s non-porous and resistant to chipping, scratching, and bacteria. Quartzite is not as dense as quartz and prone to easily staining in a heavy-use area like the kitchen.

If you love to have several choices and a consistent look to your countertops, the first option might be the material for you. However, if you don’t mind a little upkeep in exchange for a natural appearance, then quartzite will be perfect for you.

Going Bold

Vibrant designs and bold colors will play an important role in home designing in 2023. According to the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), home designs will be bolder, bigger, and overall better for the homeowner. You’ll see words like “sustainability,” “wellness,” and “expanding” when you’re deciding how to remodel your own home with the latest 2023 home remodeling trends. Take a look at what to expect in 2023.

Combining Design Elements

When it comes to vibrant design, the bold colors and accents in materials and themes will play a big role in homes. Homeowners want to combine multiple design elements and materials along with bold accents, splashes of color, and texture. A lot of these design elements will be sustainable and utilized in an expanded space. Breaking down walls to expand spaces will help add function or conceal clutter.

Kitchen Visualizer - A Peek into Your Dream Kitchen

For kitchens, this means adding larger or double islands and walk-in pantries. For baths, this means adding a closet, dressing area, or two-person shower. Any decision regarding these is made with wellness in mind that will help create a sort of retreat for the mind and body.

Transitional is the big home design style this year. Just like transitional is a mix of modern and traditional, homeowners want to combine other design styles to create an updated look. For example, NKBA is noticing Modern Farmhouse, Classic Contemporary, Organic Modern, and Simple Transition.

Vote Cabex Construction for Best of SRQ 2023!

Color plays a big role in these combinations. Homeowners are mixing warmer natural earthy tones, less gray and white, and more medium wood tones. Proving that homes are becoming more vibrant, we’re seeing richer colors overall such as coastal blues, greens, and organic neutrals in both the kitchen and bathroom.

Sustainability is Big

Homeowners pay close attention to what products and materials are sustainable. Some sustainable ideas include 100% LED lighting, energy-efficient appliances, VOC-free paints, increased natural light from low E windows, and energy-efficient faucets. Going hand in hand with sustainability is wellness.

Barolli Plumbing

Homeowners are looking for sanctuary, especially in the bathroom with spa-like experiences using earthy, muted colors and light wood tones to create natural, calming elements. Some popular spa-like features include large two-person showers, custom seats, multiple showerheads, steam showers, easy-to-clean surfaces like quartz and quartzite, and large windows to connect with the outdoors and maximize the use of natural light.

2023 Kitchen & Bath Remodeling Trends

Expanding Spaces

Homeowners also want to open up their kitchen and bath spaces while also expanding the functionality of each to accommodate the changing nature of the home. Removing walls open these rooms up to adjoining areas. Larger islands have flexible functionality for food prep, dining, and work. Kitchens will love a walk-in, built-in or butler’s pantry for food and small appliance storage while bathrooms will love walk-in closets and sitting or dressing rooms.

Thriving Tech

Finally, technology continues to thrive in the home. Homeowners continue to adopt technology at a faster pace, specifically when it enables more individualized customization in the kitchen and bath. Technology will be used to create a personalized environment, using voice controls for lighting, water, and floor temperatures, as well as humidity monitoring. Smart appliances include touchless faucets, app-controlled appliances, whole house systems, and water conservation technology.

Pets & Remodeling

Living through a remodel can be challenging for everyone in your home, and your pets are no exception. Imagine how having a bunch of noisy houseguests can affect them. As a team of pet lovers, we’ve complied a guide to help you care for your animals while your home is underdoing your remodel.

Safety First

For their safety, your pets should be kept away from the work areas. Keep your pet in a closed room during the day that workers don’t need access to. You of course also have the option of boarding them at a kennel or dropping them off at a pet resort for the length of the remodel so that they’re completely out of the way. If they have to stay home, look into getting some safety gates for an extra level of protection to keep them away from the work zones.

Couple playing with dog

Introduce your Pets to the Workers

If your pet (dogs specifically) will be at home while the work is being done, have a meet and greet. This will help your pet and the workers get acquainted with one another, which will hopefully lead to less barking down the road for you.

Consider Hazardous Fumes

Pets are typically more sensitive to fumes than we are, so be sure you’re aware of when in the project there may be potentially harmful fumes (like floor refinishing). If you’re not sure, just talk with your contractor about it so they can keep you informed.

When it comes down to it, you know your pet best. If they’re sensitive to noise or strangers, it may be best to move them out of the house during the remodel. Another great idea is to plan a few fun trips on the louder, busier days of your remodel where you and your pet can go for a walk or spend some time outside of the home.

Prestige in Prestancia

Prestige awaits this home in Sarasota’s Prestancia. This almost 2,500-square foot home is undergoing a full home remodel from the kitchen to the master suite to the den and more.

Firstly, we designed a much more luxurious home for these homeowners; no more closed off kitchen, green cabinet system in the den, rosy pink laundry room, or outdated master bath. With the removal of walls, addition of new custom cabinets, and installation of new luxury vinyl flooring, this home will surely brighten up the entire neighborhood.

 

The Bigger the Kitchen the Better

Right now, the kitchen sits in an awkward space in the middle of the floor plan. Angled walls box in the kitchen from the rest of the home, keeping the area from utilizing the space it should. Next to the kitchen sits a little too spacious breakfast nook. After the remodel, the kitchen is sliding over into most of this breakfast corner (which isn’t disappearing completely) to make it much larger. Additionally, we’re taking the angled walls currently around it down in favor of the popular open floor plan. The kitchen is going to feel so much cozier after this full home remodel.

Elmwood Custom Cabinetry will be replacing the old pantry, island, and base cabinets. They’ll have an Olive Melamine finish. The countertops will be Pompeii quartz Greylac, as well as a new hearth and bench in the new breakfast area. Also, another new feature is the wine cooler that will be in the new island.

Bath Swap

The master bath will be getting a new drop ceiling and a new shower and toilet location. This whole room is basically getting swapped around. As a result, the new shower is going where the bathtub is, the new water closet is going where the shower is, and one of the new vanities will be going where the water closet is. We’re basically making the master bath larger by getting rid of the bathtub to have more room for vanities and storage.

The cabinets here will have an Austin Grey finish, and the countertops will be Pompeii quartz Diamante. Also, the shower walls will be a dark Sterlina Asphalt polished porcelain tile, the shower floor will be a Sterlina Dove polished porcelain, and the shower floor mosaic and niche will be concrete-look Sterlina Ash.

Additionally, the shower will have a new frameless shower glass enclosure with ClearShield glass protection technology. The new water closet will have a frosted glass door, and the closets will have Colonial Louvre bi-fold doors. The connecting master bedroom will have a new luxury carpet in a creamy color called Lasting Taupe.

Around the House

Right outside the master suite is the laundry room. The bright pink wallpaper is coming down. We’ll be replacing the cabinets with Cabico Cabinetry with a Basal Mat finish and Pompeii quartz Cloud Nine countertops.

The den is getting the contemporary treatment too. What was a corner of green cabinets will become Cabico Unique Series cabinetry with a white melamine interior finish and a Basal Mat finish. The countertop will be Pompeii quartz called Cloud Nine.

We’re also updating a few other features throughout the home as part of this full home remodel. We’ll be removing the old-style popcorn ceiling except in the master bath. As a result, the whole house will be repainted in lighter tones. The homeowner doesn’t want any dark colors at all.

All the flooring (except in the master suite where the carpet is going) will be getting luxury vinyl clock lock flooring. The garage, however, will be getting a flake multicolor epoxy. The lanai will be getting Lucerna Fumo Roc textured rectified tile.

Lastly, we’ll be removing all the windows and the two sliding glass doors to be replaced with white vinyl frame single hung windows and white aluminum sliding glass pocketing doors. Once we’re finished, this home in Prestancia will look brand new from top to bottom.
