Planning
Older and historic homes can be remodeled beautifully, but they need extra planning for plaster walls, uneven framing, outdated wiring and character details worth keeping. Start with a thorough inspection, keep a contingency, and choose a contractor experienced with non-standard construction.
Hiring
Hire a remodeling contractor who is registered and insured, provides an itemized written contract, explains who will do the work, gives a realistic schedule and offers a written warranty. Compare scope and detail, not only price, and ask to see recent projects and references.
Bathrooms
A tub-to-shower conversion replaces a bathtub with a walk-in shower, often with a low or curbless entry, a bench and blocking for grab bars. Planning for accessibility now, with slip-resistant tile, good lighting and wider clearances, makes a bathroom safer and more comfortable for years.
TV Mounting
Mount a TV securely by finding studs or using the right anchors for brick, stone or tile, choose a fixed, tilting or full-motion mount, place the center of the screen near eye level when seated, and hide cables inside the wall with recessed power and HDMI kits.
