Advice from the Experts
Choosing
the Right Contractor
Remodel
to Make Home More User-friendly
Choosing
the Right Contractor
The
lowest priced contractor
is not always the best way
to choose. If you receive
3 estimates, and 2 are close
and 1 is considerably lower,
ask yourself why. Is this
person leaving something
out? Does he carry the proper
insurance? Is he going to
do exactly what you want
done or is he going to take
short cuts with inferior
materials or practices?
Price is important but,
value and quality are what
you should be considering.
Don't
be afraid to ask for references
and be sure to call those
people. Ask if the contractor
showed up when he was supposed
to, and how was his ability
to overcome any problems
that arose. Did he keep
the job site clean? A few
questions now can save a
lot of headaches down the
road.

Remodel
to Make Home More User-friendly!
When
you are ready to tackle
a remodeling project, stop
and think about your future
and the future of your house.
Are you planning to stay
in this house for as long
as possible? Is this house
going to be a primary residence
as you get older? If so,
the perfect time to make
some modifications that
will make your house more
user-friendly is when you
are already planning a remodeling
project.
Kitchen
and Bath remodeling always
seems to top the list of
major projects. It just
so happens that they are
also primary targets for
modifications which incorporate
the concepts of Universal
Design.
Universal
Design means true accessibility.
It accommodates all people,
including those of different
ability, height and age.
Incorporating Universal
Design features in your
home can give you a competitive
edge on resale because of
the increasing demand for
accessible living by today’s
homebuyers.
So
how do you get the updated
Kitchen or Bath you want
today that will also meet
your needs 5 or 10 years
from now? With Universal
Design features you can
get the look you want and
the accessibility you may
need tomorrow. Let’s
look at some specific examples.
Bathrooms
- The newest look in high
end master bathrooms includes
a large open shower separate
from a soaking or spa bathtub.
Universal Design modifications
to that concept would simply
make the shower barrier
free with no threshold and
place all controls a little
lower. The tub and shower
might be placed next to
each other with a bench
as a transition between
them. The walls throughout
the bathroom would be reinforced.
That will allow you to easily
install grab bars anywhere
in the room if and when
necessary. The floor can
still be a stylish ceramic
tile, but the surface would
be a matte finish for safety.
If the budget allows, radiant
heating installed in the
floor would add comfort.
Kitchens
today are the center of
activity with lots of room
for family and friends,
casual dining and storage
and home office/computer
centers. You can find the
latest in appliances with
Universal Design features.
Look for appliances with
controls located in the
front or on the side. Replace
your standard range with
a cooktop and wall-mounted
oven. Install all appliances
at more convenient heights.
Elevate the dishwasher about
8” off the floor so
that you don’t have
to bend down to load dishes.
Instead of installing the
microwave high above the
stove, why not place it
just below counter level.
Make one section of countertop
or island table height so
that someone can be seated
in a chair or a wheelchair
while preparing food. Select
a sink base with doors that
retract or can be removed.
Major cabinet manufacturers
like Kraft Maid offer cabinets
with special features that
make them more usable for
all of us.
If
you were to walk into a
Universal Design home today,
your first impression might
be that “it doesn’t
look any different”.
You would be impressed with
the design and wonder why
all homes weren’t
built with the terrific
features you would see.
So, when you are planning
to remodel, take advantage
of the latest technology
and design knowledge. It’s
the perfect time to make
your home ready for the
future. Some options may
cost a little more but the
return on your remodeling
investment will be even
greater than the already
high return on such remodeling
projects.
