Great Granite Batman! What an Awesome Shower Remodel

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off

Batman could always count on Robin to come up with a great exclamation that summed up the situation perfectly. If the dynamic duo checked out bathroom and shower remodel jobs completed by Inspired Remodels; “Great granite” would just be start of Robin’s comments.

Granite is Just the Beginning

Granite is very popular for bathroom and shower remodel jobs. Granite is a very hard natural material. Its density makes it less susceptible to moisture absorption than travertine and it will not be damaged by citrus-based cleaners like some other softer stone.

Just because granite is not completely impervious to moisture doesn’t mean using granite will cause your shower to leak. When properly installed, your granite shower should be as waterproof as one finished in ceramic tile or other material. Proper installation is the key.

An experienced remodeling company knows that a watertight shower begins with the right substrate. Regular drywall will absorb moisture and lead to problems with leaks and mold. Inspired Remodels will use waterproof backerboard for shower walls that perform as well as they look. The shower pan will be watertight and done right as well. These are the elements that provide the structure for your waterproof granite installation.

The shower pan must be watertight as well.

Built Ins With Flair

Let’s face it; if you’re going to take a shower you are going to need some soap and shampoo. People have struggled with years for ways to keep these bath essentials close at hand without creating an eyesore or haven for mold and mildew to grow.

Inspired Remodels can provide built-in storage as part of your shower remodel. Just take a look at how these recessed shelves provide a place to store personal care products and keep them out of the way of the shower spray.

Ladies; don’t you wish you could sit and shave your legs in the shower? Why not include a built in seat when you remodel your shower? Safely sit while you wait for conditioner to work its magic or you shave your legs. Relax and let the steam envelope you. A built-in seat is not only convenient it also reduces the risk of slipping.

Don’t you wish you had thought of that?

A Great Shower Remodel Begins with Great Design

A great bathroom or shower remodel is like any other remodel: it all begins with a great design.

Work with the talented designers at Inspired Remodels to transform your ideas into a final project you will love. They know good design is all about the details. We will work with you to maximize your bathroom and shower space and your remodel budget.

“Holy Hot Shower” says Robin. Call (949) 716-1938 and get started today.

Orange County Flooring Contractor Gives 3 Reasons to Love Hard Floors

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel, Home Improvement, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off

This article was originally published on April 8, 2016. It has been updated to reflect the most current trends in Orange County flooring.

Wood, wood-look tiles, and bamboo flooring continue to be trendy. Designers and homeowners love the way wood and bamboo flooring bring warmth to any room. If you ask a flooring contractor, they will tell you the benefits of hard surface floors for almost any home. Inspired Remodels, the expert flooring contractor in Orange County, shares 3 reasons to love hard surface flooring.

Hard Flooring For Better Health

Hard surface flooring offers health benefits you just can’t ignore. Every flooring contractor knows carpeting harbors dust, dust mites, pet allergens, mold spores, and pollen. These substances comprise the most common household allergens. So, why would you ever put them in a house where people with allergies live? Many companies offer products and surfaces to clean carpets. But no method or product can properly clean the carpet to the backing and remove allergens. Most carpet cleaning methods end up making allergies worse as they leave carpets and rugs damp and promote the growth of mold.

When you clean a hard surface floor, it is clean. While you might get mold growth in the grout between tiles (especially in a badly designed bathroom with poor circulation) mold will not grow on the tile itself. Vacuuming, damp mopping, and dry mopping remove dirt, debris, and allergens from a hard surface floor. Cleaner floors result in better indoor air quality, fewer allergies, and better health.

Ceramic and porcelain tile made to emulate wood creates a spa-like feeling to Orange County bathrooms. It looks like wood, some tiles even emulate the texture of wood grain, and only you will know its tile.

Hard Flooring is Easy to Maintain

Hard surface flooring such as wood, tile, polished cement, or stone is relatively easy to maintain. It resists stains. You can track in dirt and debris and it can be easily removed by cleaning.

Spill wine on your tile floor and it wipes up. No one cries over milk spilled on a wood, tile, or stone floor. Kitchens across Orange County cry out for hard surface floors!

With carpeting and rugs, you cry over every spill, every stain, and every footstep that dirties the surface. Not so with hard surface flooring.

Flooring Contractors Know Tile & Wood Flooring Lasts

When you hire a reputable Orange County flooring contractor like Inspired Remodels to install your floors, you know your flooring will last. Wood and bamboo flooring require acclimation before installation. If your flooring contractor skips this step, prepare for problems. That’s never a worry with Inspired Remodels.

With proper care and cleaning, your tile and stone floors last for 20 years or more. When wood floors become scuffed, scarred, and worn-looking, simply refinish them.

Can any carpet stand up to 20 years of daily use? When it looks bad, can you refinish your carpet?

No, of course not! When you consider higher initial cost over a much longer life, you’ll agree with flooring contractors that hard surface flooring provides a cost-effective option.
