Contractors 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.
