While sprawling kitchens are a top priority for homeowners looking to remodel, sometimes a large footprint just isn’t possible. And bigger doesn’t necessarily always mean better. Sometimes a small kitchen can get the job done beautifully. Often clients come to us with a kitchen remodel idea for their small space, and our experts at J&J Construction design with the intent of making their kitchen appear larger and more open, while maximizing every square foot of space. Sometimes it takes an outside perspective to determine the best layout for your family, depending on your space constraints and needs. There are many strategies you can implement in order to achieve the look of a larger kitchen including tall cabinets, smart color selections, and storage and organization solutions.

When it comes to current bathroom trends, homeowners are leaning toward clean lines, smart storage, energy-efficiency, spa-like luxury, and high-tech features. A no-fuss bathroom is one that is functional, beautiful, and easy to keep clean. In recent bathroom renovations we’re seeing an increasing demand for wet room bathrooms. A wet room bathroom is a waterproofed bathroom with a free-standing tub within the walk-in shower area at the same level as the rest of the floor, or it might offer a low-curb entrance. The water drains away through a flush drain within the shower. Typically, you’ll see the area partially or fully glass-enclosed, or you might see a half wall to provide some separation and aid with splashing.

Kitchen renovations are the most sought after home projects. Not only is a kitchen the heart of any home, but the return on investment is fantastic. No matter what kitchen trends come and go, one style will remain constant: white cabinets. White cabinets are not only timeless and classic, but they serve as a neutral palette. Homeowners gravitate toward white kitchen cabinets because they instantly brighten up the space and make it feel airy and clean. If you’re one of the many families with white kitchen cabinets, or are thinking of remodeling to include them, consider how you’ll incorporate them into your overall kitchen aesthetic.

Whether you’re hosting out-of-town guests, or your family simply needs more room to get ready, a guest bathroom can be a lifesaver, so why not make it functional and beautiful?  Bathroom renovations are one of the most sought after remodel projects, and that certainly includes half and full guest bathrooms. If your guest bathroom needs an update, consider what choices will make a big impact. There are many design changes, both big and small, that you can incorporate. Let’s take a look at 5 guest bathroom refresh ideas. Select one, two, or do them all for a complete remodel. Your options are limitless. If  you’re seeking a larger renovation, avoid costly mistakes and contact a reputable contracting company before you begin so that you can be confident in the results.

There is nothing more exciting than a beautiful kitchen renovation. Homeowners spend the majority of their time in this room, and they know that an updated kitchen has a high return on investment. When clients come to us with ideas for their dream kitchen, they often share photos of a favorite paint color, trendy cabinet color and style, or an island that wows. While those ideas are great to have, thinking about function is even more important than design style and color choices. This is one of the reasons hiring a professional for a large-scale project like this is so important.
