What to Look for in Good Custom Carpentry

November 2, 2019 by Debbie Grazioso

It can be tough finding the perfect cabinets or shelves to add to a room. In many cases, you should avoid purchasing premade structures and instead opt for custom carpentry woodwork. When you hire a professional carpenter to make your shelves, you can be 100 percent positive you are getting an item that will work perfectly for your house. There could be thousands of premade units already, but if none of them meet your standards, then hire someone to make you shelves from scratch.

How To Decide on a New Handrail

June 9, 2019 by Debbie Grazioso

rail

Wooden handrails and other stylistic touches on and around staircases have a profound effect on the atmosphere of a home, which means they can be a very effective redecorating project or even a good way to improve the home’s appeal and value before resale. Since handrails require finish carpentry that takes a high degree of skill to put in place correctly, it’s a good idea to make this a project for a contractor. Before you find one, though, it helps to understand the anatomy of a handrail, because it makes it easier to have clear communication about what you want out of your upgrade.

Benefits of Refacing Your Cabinets

April 18, 2019 by Debbie Grazioso

cabinets

Cabinet refacing offers an easy, affordable solution to outdated cabinets. Whether you are trying to prep your home for sale or want a new look in your kitchen, refacing your kitchen cabinets is a great alternative to complete cabinet removal. Instead of taking down the entire cabinet, the doors, glides, drawer fronts, hinges, knobs and drawers are replaced. The exterior of the cabinet box receives a veneer application. Easily update your kitchen or bath cabinets.

Similar Result

Probably the best reason to reface your cabinets is that the end result is similar to that of complete cabinet replacement without the hassle and cost. Unless the cabinets are in terrible shape, there is no reason not to reface them.

Economical

Cabinet refacing costs less money than a full cabinet replacement. On average, refacing is about half the cost of replacement. That extra money can be used for other areas of the remodel such as new appliances or nicer tile or simply make the remodel affordable. Refacing takes only a couple of days at most to complete unlike multiple days for a full replacement.

Refinishing Options

Much like choosing new cabinets, refacing gives homeowners numerous options to choose from. You can change the color, options, style and even alter the grain and look of your existing cabinets. Change the trim, molding, add cabinets or glass doors to alter the look of your kitchen or bath.

Less Waste

The cabinets themselves use formaldehyde in their construction which is damaging to the environment. Not to mention the cost of hauling away all that extra material. Refacing wastes less material and undamaged items such as knobs and doors may be recycled or donated.

Replacing your cabinets is an expensive, time-consuming task. Cabinet refacing cuts the remodel time significantly and cuts the costs spent upgrading your kitchen or bath. Get the look you want with an environmentally-friendly option that is easier on your wallet. Then sit back and enjoy the beauty of your new kitchen or bathroom.

Aging in Place: Accommodating Aging Parents

March 18, 2019 by Debbie Grazioso

kitchen

If you have aging parents, then you may be concerned about their safety while they remain in their current home. Just as you have to babyproof a house for the well-being of a child, the same becomes necessary with elderly adults. Learn about the basics of aging in place to keep your loved ones safe as you help them maintain their sense of independence.

A Single Floor

Having stairs in your home can be a great way to get in a bit of exercise every time you go from one floor to the next, but they can become a hazard for senior citizens with mobility issues. That’s why ranch-style homes that only have a single floor are best. Homes that currently have stairs are made safer with the installation of chair lifts.

Wide Doorways

Speaking of mobility issues, some elderly individuals need a walker, wheelchair, or scooter to get around. To remain fully comfortable and maneuverable in their own homes, aging individuals may need wider doorways that are easier to move through. With aging in place renovations, it’s a good idea to widen doorways to at least thirty-six inches. The floor space for the door should extend to at least four feet on either side. Door handles help reduce the amount of pressure required to open and close doors.

Rethink Carpet

Touching back on the use of wheelchairs, walkers, and the like, floors in the homes of aging parents should either be stripped down to hardwood or short-pile carpet that won’t put one at risk of tripping and falling, which can easily lead to an unnecessary injury.

Bathroom Layout

Bathrooms can quickly become danger rooms for senior citizens. Bathtubs can turn into slipping and tripping hazards, and toilets without handrails can make it hard for older parents to ease themselves down and pull themselves up. Keep doorways in mind if your mom or dad uses a walker or wheelchair, and consider installing new faucets that are easy to turn on and off.

Throughout making residential interior changes for aging in place, involve your parents. By learning what they enjoy and their physical limitations, you’re sure to provide them with a safe, welcome home.

Bring Elegance Into Your Home With the Benefits of Crown Molding

February 13, 2019 by Debbie Grazioso

molding

Decorative crown molding is charming, elegant and sometimes a selling point for a home. Just its simple addition can transform a plain room into a tasteful, appealing space. There are a wide variety of choices and decorative styles available. The options are limitless. You can take a living room and turn it into a Victorian style sitting room. If you have an idea, sometimes the little details bring it together.

Use It to Highlight Features

Decorative molding can easily highlight different areas of your home. Use pieces that complement the trim around your French doors or your fireplace and pull the design together. Look at your room’s existing features. If you have dark stained wood trim or accents to the living space, you don’t want to buy white plastic for the ceiling. The color of your molding needs to match the rest of the room to add flow and consistency.

Match the Trim to the Molding

If you don’t want to match your molding to the trim, you can always redo the trim. Maybe your favorite molding style doesn’t match your décor. If you don’t mind the extra work that it takes to match the room to the crown molding, then don’t make sacrifices. While a simple update to the molding will change the room, if you want to go with a full update, then let the molding inspire you.

Extend the Molding to the Ceiling

Some décor experts create grid patterns with decorative molding across ceilings. You can extend the molding to your ceiling for a unique wood ceiling. Of course, you want to be careful with the colors you choose. Don’t use darker molding as that will make a room gloomy.

Decorative crown molding can completely alter a room for the better. If you want charm and elegance in your home, consider what simply adding new molding can do.
