Dover Project Feature: Contractor of the Year Award, First Place Bathroom Remodel

Guest Blog:  Designer Amy Tilow

BLOG #2 of 4 IN A SERIES

Our team at Dover was thrilled to be honored by NARI with a Contractor of the Year (CotY) Award for a bathroom remodel completed for our customer in Lakewood. Enjoy this guest blog series by designer Amy Tilow that takes you on a project walkthrough… 

Our construction team started where the couple had left off years before, completing the demo by removing the rest of the plaster walls and ceiling, and taking out the mud-base floor.

We discovered floor joists that were rotted and a ceiling that was not level.  Major plumbing issues were uncovered, as well:  The stack had a hole in it and the opened ceiling revealed a crack in the pipes in the bathroom above.  At this stage, all plumbing and structural concerns were corrected and upgraded to code.

The existing bathroom lights had individual switches located in the middle of the room, not by the door, requiring one to enter the room in the dark!

THE BATHROOM: BEFORE & AFTER

The renovation corrected these poor functional elements and added modern-day conveniences, while completely transforming the forgotten space, creating a beautiful bathroom retreat.

Next week, I’ll focus on the details and selections to show you how we incorporated the homeowners’ personal tastes and style into this revamped bathroom space.

Best,

Amy Tilow

Right On Hue - Ideas For Incorporating Color In Your Kitchen Remodel - Dover Home Remodelers

Right On Hue. Ideas for incorporating color in your kitchen remodel When it comes to bringing color into the kitchen, many homeowners take an all-or-nothing approach. What I hear most often from customers during the design stage of a kitchen remodel is that their overwhelming fear is committing to a color that will lock them in—and adversely affect resale. But it doesn’t have to be that way. If you’d like to add color to your kitchen, there are options for creatively incorporating your favorite hues into your remodel without being completely landlocked. Start by identifying your color personality and tolerance. Then add color to your space in a way that suits your taste and stays within your comfort zone. The Minimalist. Clean, simple and classic: These homeowners are drawn to the all-white kitchen trend with quartz or marble countertops, white cabinets and white subway tile. Easy (and non-permanent) ways to add contrasting color in these spaces include: Textiles: Kitchen towels...
