Unique Twists for Your Home Renovation

Home improvement projects are on an incredible rise this year. According to a houzz.com survey, these kinds of projects have increased by 12 percent compared to 2012, and seven percent fewer people are saying they have chosen to delay projects due to the economy (SOURCE: Forbes.com).

From fancy doggy doors to secret passageways - Hire a certified contractor for your next home renovation project.

If you are part of the population looking to hire a certified contractor and join the home-renovation movement, it’s a great time to think outside the box. Here are some practical, unique, and outlandish suggestions to integrate into the scope of your next remodel:
  • Cast iron sewer stack pipes (they reduce bathroom flushing noises )
  • Lever doorknobs (much easier to open when your hands are full vs. round doorknobs)
  • Soundproofing (especially for entertainment rooms and bedrooms)
  • A central vacuum system
  • Plumbing for a pot-filler faucet
  • 3” PVC pipe inside a centrally-located wall that runs from the attic to the basement (for future projects that may require wires running through it such as behind a fireplace rock wall to hide your entertainment system wiring)
  • Heated bathroom floors
  • New-age outlets (from internal wall coiled extension cords to USB outlets)
  • Secret passageways
  • Pet-friendly features (peep holes, gates, odor-absorbing materials, etc.)
  • Roofing sustainable for rainwater collection and solar panel installation
  • Sunken entertainment area
  • Backyard movie setup or interior home theater room
