Changing the Conventional Wisdom on Orange County General Contractors

By / Home Improvement / Comments Off on Changing the Conventional Wisdom on Orange County General Contractors

Orange County general contractors often get a bad rap. People call them sleazy, unresponsive, unreliable, and dishonest. They refuse accountability. Then, when you need them the most, they disappear.

The contracting industry contains good and bad apples. Unfortunately, stereotypes rise from the actions of a few bad actors.   Inspired Remodels changes the view of Orange County general contractors.

General Contractor Horror Stories

Hire a general contractor and expect licensed, professional, and skilled workers.  The last thing you expect is a job that drag on for months. Or, subcontractors showing up to threaten placing a lien on your property because you haven’t been paid. That’s what happened to Robert S when he hired a general contractor to remodel his kitchen.  Read the entire horror story on Yelp.

Or, how about Susan? She hired a general contractor to redo her kitchen.  The job required the general contractor to replace ceiling popcorn with texture.  Sounds nice? Well, Susan received more than she expected.  The crazy general contractor hired a subcontractor to remove the popcorn and apply texture to every surface in the kitchen!  That’s right, imagine your ceiling and every wall covered in texture.  Talk about going overboard!

Great Granite Batman! What an Awesome Shower Remodel

By / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off on Great Granite Batman! What an Awesome Shower Remodel

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.


built in shower seat added as part of shower remodel
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?
