Home Siding Options in Brooklyn

Home Siding Options in Brooklyn you should consider Siding is the easiest and quickest exterior update your home can have. Plus siding has a long life span and is crisp and clean looking so it will easily update your homes curb appeal.  When you install with new siding, you can bet on fantastic durability and resilience for a lifetime. Your home will benefit from better property value, higher energy efficiency and shelter from the harsh weather.

Curb Appeal. Make your home a true classic with the clean lines of exterior siding. It’s the modern day version of an age-old surface that works in unity with hints of stone, shake and board, or can be used to mask an entire façade with a smoothed veneer. The siding we install will hide structural imperfections for a flawless appearance. Those who are looking for support and protection of fiber-cement, we can offer Hardie siding with a selection of colors and styles. Hardie board offers the elegance and texture of wood, but with the strength of a material that will not erode to weather like wood. Our siding is 100% natural, toxic-free, non-combustible, and recyclable material that makes a strong substitute to wood siding. What kind of siding would you like installed on your home?

Common Home Siding Questions What should I do next about failing house siding in Brooklyn?  Repair or replace worn siding before it causes structural damage. Don’t replace it with another product that is likely to fail again. But most importantly, figure out what is causing the problem. Most of the time you will find that if it’s not some sort of bird or animal and no trees or bushes are rubbing up against it, then moisture is the likely culprit. Call rem0del.com to help diagnose the issues.

When is the best time of year to install house siding?  Most siding companies work year-round, but if you are looking for a deal, fall and winter are usually the best times since not many people choose to have their siding replaced during the low season. Not only can you get deals, but usually the job is completed quicker because they have fewer projects to tend to.

How long does it take to install siding?  Certainly, this will depend on the type of siding, but as a rule you can usually expect it to take two weeks. This time includes removal, prep, time to add insulation, and the install of the new siding, and any last modifications such as painting or trim work. Don’t worry with having your exterior home exposed. Your house siding contractors have been doing this for years and they won’t leave your walls exposed to the intruders or the elements, but if you are concerned, ask them how they will manage your concerns.

Is it okay to add vinyl siding over existing siding?  Check with a contractor to determine whether you can install vinyl siding over your home’s existing siding. Depending on how the particular brand is fastened, this can be a possibility. However, if cost is a concern, most homeowners can manage removing the siding themselves.

Kitchen Remodeling What Should I Do?

Question by Diana in Queens, NY: Kitchen Remodeling-which route is better? I am considering remodeling my 10×10 kitchen with new cabinets, granite counter top and new stainless steel appliances and was wondering if it would be better to purchase all the stuff myself and then hire a general contractor to install everything or hire a kitchen remodel contractor that will do all that for me for one lump sump? I’m not looking to get high end stuff…i’m more of a practical person and will start looking at the big box stores – Home Depot, etc.

I’ve looked in to Home Depot & Lowe’s and their installation doesn’t include taking out the cabinets or counter-top so I would still need to hire someone else to do that which sounds like a huge pain in the ass. I’m not very handy nor is anyone in my family. Which route do you suggest and what advice you can give me? Any idea as far as the price range it would cost? I’m not doing any extra plumbing or electrical wiring. I would love to hear from the rem0del.com’s professionals.

The rem0del.com crew says:

Diana – first let me say thanks for reaching out. In this scenario I guess we are the “turn-key solution” so we’ll cover that aspect of your questioning first.

By hiring a a complete remodeling company you will get full service. That means planning and designing the space; demolition, installation and of course clean up. While a remodel is not a simple task anyone can take up it can be stressful if you have people living in the space while the construction happens. Plus hiring piece meal services can backfire because no one will be responsible nor over see the little stuff during the project. That means you become the GC – the general contractor. The guys need a tool, they leave and your project goes on hold or if you change your mind about anything that it was not part of the deal you should be ready to negotiate.

Doing it yourself  - this is not a weekend warrior project. If you have young ones or family members living in the house you’ll want to complete the project as quickly as humanly possible. Ordering cabinets even from places like Home Depot or Lowes take time and are rarely on time. Plus you need to consider delivery options so for example if your appliances come before your cabinets a full service contractor has space to store them or can work to get things delivered in a proper order.

While you state that electric and plumbing is not something you will do – proper lighting in a kitchen could make your space even better. With under counter lighting and spot lighting you could really make your kitchen look like it should belong in a magazine. How about dishwasher or garbage disposal; both of which require plumbing/electric work.

Prices will always vary and depend on both your budget OR the fixtures and appliances you want.

We’d love to come out to your location and give you a FREE estimate. We’ll offer ideas that are affordable and environmentally friendly that will save you money in the long run. Call us at 888-214-7090 to speak to our friendly staff.

Staten Island Clogged Toilet Repairs

Is your Staten Island Toilet Clogged?

A clogged toilet or a running toilet is one of the most annoying issues in a home. In some cases a homeowner can use over the counter solutions to try to unclog it but in many cases a professional plumber has the right tools to clear the clog and ensure that it does no happen again a few days later. We all know that horrible feeling when your toilet fails to flush, continuously runs, backs up, or begins to leak, it’s often not something that can wait.

Toilet repair isn’t a sexy home improvement project, but unlike replacing kitchen cabinets, building IKEA furniture, or tiling projects, it’s something that needs to be taken care of – right now. Even a toilet that still has basic functioning properties should be repaired in a timely fashion.

A continuously running toilet, for example, will send a ton of water and money down the drain in a short amount of time and postponing the repair or replacement of a toilet is a bad idea.

Common Toilet Problems Rem0del.com Can Help With:

Clogged Toilet

Leaking Toilet

Running Toilet

Greenwood Heights Parquet Flooring

Does your parquet flooring need a refinish in Greenwood Heights?

If hardwood flooring gives a home a traditional elegance, then parquet flooring is a step beyond the regular planking of traditional wood flooring. In case you don’t know exactly what parquet flooring is, the definition is: a form of ornamental design associated with wood flooring. It can involve cutting uniform wood into geometrical pieces to give the floor a pattern or it can involve more complex splicing of different woods to give a fully custom made appearance.

The ornate floors that you might imagine in a palace or museum are high-end examples of parquet flooring and you can have these designs in your home too. Many homes already have them and didn’t know they were called parquet. Parquet flooring patterns are entirely geometrical and angular—squares, triangles. The most popular parquet flooring pattern is herringbone (image above).

Over time parquet flooring (like other hardwoods) can become dull and lose its luster and just start to look aged. Rem0del.com offers refinishing services to help bring your parquet floor back to life.

Our process is:

Preparation for Sanding

Sanding the Floor

Applying Stain

Applying Finish

We understand that homeowners want to start and complete this type of service as quickly as possible yet keep the dust and debris to a minimum. Our professionals know how to work with hardwoods and we assure you that your parquet floor will look amazing and you’ll be very happy with our workmanship.

Custom Shower Doors in Coney Island

Coney Island residents depend on Rem0del.com for custom shower enclosures

Shower curtains are a horrible solution for water proofing your shower space. Custom glass is so much better and will last a lifetime while making the space look even larger. Remodeling your bathroom will help make the bathroom both functional and increase the value of your home. But if you cannot remodel the whole bathroom – updated the shower curtain with custom glass is an amazing upgrade.

Types of custom shower doors & shower enclosures rem0del.com offers include:

Bypass door Bypass

Also known as sliding doors, bypass doors take up the least amount of space and consist of two to three panels that slide past each other on top and bottom tracks. They’re ideal for wide openings, with a typical opening size being 60″ wide. They are commonly used in alcove and corner stand-alone showers and bathtub showers with stationary panels.

Round door Round

Round shower doors open inwards and are ideal for corner stand-alone showers. Attached to the top and bottom of the frame for stability and smooth operation, the curved glass design creates a more spacious bathing area. This type of door is often reversible for right or left access.

Neo-angle door Neo-Angle

Designed to fit neo-angle shower enclosures for corner installations, these doors take up little space and can be installed to swing open left or right. They are commonly used with corner stand-alone showers.

Pivot door Pivot

Pivot doors, also known as one-panel swinging or swing-open doors, open outward from a single side and are installed in a stand-alone shower space. They are ideal for openings that are too small to accommodate a bypass door. Pivot doors are typically 36″ wide but may be as wide as 48″. For larger openings, these custom doors may be installed with one or two fixed panels and can be single or double-hinged mounted to swing both in and out. Pivot doors can be installed to open right or left to fit the layout of your bathroom. Pivot doors are most commonly used in alcove and corner stand-alone showers.

The most important consideration when installing a new door is the amount of space in your shower and bathroom. The space will help you decide which type will be best fit for your bathroom. Take help from a professional to know which size you should buy.

Basement Remodeling Costs

Is your basement ready for a remodel?

If you’re interested in expanding your home’s space while saving money a basement remodeling project maybe what the doctor ordered. Many homeowners want and need more space and if your home is lucky enough to have a basement this is space that can be enhanced for both living and storage. 9 times out of ten, it’s cheaper to finish a basement rather than add on a room, so you should talk to your basement contractor or home designer about updating your basement, rather than adding on to the structure of your home.

1) Keep it dry and safe

Drainage and insulation are very important factors in a basement remodel. If you have a completely unfinished basement you can opt to build rooms, bathrooms and storage areas and you have a white canvas so to speak – or the sky is the limit. Make sure your contractor ensures that the basement is dry and properly insulated so you have a cozy basement with no issues later

2) Moisture – not in the basement

Moisture is a bad thing; not only can it cause damage but it can also cause mold. Your contractor should be making proper recommendations about moisture proofing your walls so that you keep the moisture out. Failure to do this properly will be a BIG and COSTLY mistake in the long run and could even lead to health issues.

3) Think about flooring

Depending on where you live – if the seasons change you want to make sure that the flooring is comfortable all year round. No one likes to step on cold floors when its freezing outside. The basement (once finished) is a great place to spend time with family and friends; you need to ensure that the flooring is both safe and has a long lifespan too. Another thing to note is if you get #2 wrong you can also ruin your flooring. Imagine coming into your basement only to find that beautiful hardwood flooring saturated with water or moisture – not fun.

4) Bathrooms

With a basement remodel you should consider adding a bathroom. You can also consider making it into a super bathroom and install a steam shower and/or a sauna. But adding a bathroom makes it more convenient for anyone in the basement so they don’t have to run up a flight of stairs to use the restroom. Plus it will increase the value of your home as well.

5) Basement Remodeling Cost

An average basement remodel can start at 5k and go up to 50k. There are many factors that can go into this “range” of price. While each basement varies in size, shape and how much work needs to be done rem0del.com can help with ANY basement remodel in Brooklyn, Staten Island or New York City. We can help you build a basement that’s vanilla ( more for safe/dry storage ) or a man cave with bar, large screen entertainment and so much more.

Basement remodeling cost isn’t going to be extremely cheap, but it can be a great alternative to other types of construction such as additions. If you have the basement space, look into remodeling your basement to give your family all the room it needs to grow and enjoy life. Call us today for a FREE in home estimate.

Flatbush bathroom remodeler

Are you a Flatbush Brooklyn homeowner looking to remodel your bathroom?

Flatbush Bathroom Remodeler

Bathroom remodeling can be one of the most amazing experiences or one of the worst. Trust us – we’ve heard some scary stories about so called “Bathroom remodelers” from craigslist. However lets focus on the good and talk about remodeling in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Brooklyn is notorious for small – from small apartments to small homes and of course small bathrooms. Smart home owners in the Flatbush Brooklyn area know that remodeling a bathroom also increases the value of a home. They say that a bathroom remodel cost is recouped at close to 70% when you sell your home. That should be reason enough for a complete remodel.

Think about the actual bathroom space

So small is small; but that does not mean you have to compromise on the functionality! While a small space may not allow for a huge steam shower you can get a standard 5 foot tub, toilet and bathroom vanity or sink in your space. Is this enough? Think about what else you might need or want.

Upgrade to a small bathroom vanity

One aspect of bathroom remodeling is choosing a bathroom vanity. Vanities are the fixtures that have a sink fixed into a counter top that sits on top of a cabinet. Vanities can set the theme of a bathroom or match the existing design of a bathroom.  The cabinets of a vanity can be built from many types of materials, making them customizable right down to the hardware and handles – need something special visit our millshop. Bathroom cabinets can be any color or style and can have more cabinets added on for more storage if you have the space. Our bathroom designers can help Flatbush Bathroom owners select a bathroom vanities that work best with the space and allotted budget.

Upgrade the showering area

Another major aspect of bathroom remodeling is the shower and tub remodeling. Shower and tub installation is best handled by professional contractors because of the building codes and permits involved – rem0del.com can secure all the needed permits for your project. Rem0del.com can also custom build showers doors and typically draw up shower plans to match the the needs of Flatbush residents. Shower areas can be showers only or be enclosed within a bath tub. If you don’t have the space or the budget for a fancy shower enclosure you can upgrade what you have – new tiles, new fixtures and new towels can revamp your bathroom without breaking your budget.

So if you want a remodel or a whole new bathroom rem0del.com is the partner to help make your vision a reality.
