Where Great Kitchens and Baths Begin: Remodeling Certifications
 When you dream about kitchen or bath remodeling you dream about a happy ending – a gorgeous, up-to-date room with all the features, functionality and beauty you expected. You don't expect your dream remodeling project to turn into a nightmare. The truth, however, is that kitchen and bath remodeling is complex, and from poorly planned workflow to floors that sag under the weight of tiles and granite, there are countless ways for some remodelers to make mistakes that can saddle you with unexpected costs and the feeling you've "settled" on quality or features.
We're proud of our certifications such as CR, Certified Remodeler, and CKD, Certified Kitchen Designer. These are designations that NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry) and NKBA (National Kitchen & Bath Association) award only to professional remodelers who have proven they have the skills and real-world experience to make every project live up to their clients' dreams.
Why Certifications Matter to Our Clients
By working with our certified professionals, you benefit from our completely up-to-date knowledge of what's new – and best – in kitchen and bath remodeling. That's important because today there are so many innovative ways to turn even small spaces into warm, welcoming kitchens and pampering bathroom retreats. Plus, there are creative ways to combine all-new storage options, energy efficiency, green materials and technology to make the most-used rooms of your home some of the best-loved rooms, too.
Space Planning, Products and Priorities
Good space planning carves the most value from every square inch of your kitchen or bath and rewards you with a space that is designed for your lifestyle. You don't want to spend money on a beautiful kitchen only to find out that there is no space for a trash can or the dog's bowl. We can also work magic in reclaiming "lost space." Just imagine the space between wall studs becoming the perfect place for a niche with those extra shelves you need in your master bath.
Because we know what products are available and how they look in real-world homes, we can help you spend your remodeling dollars most efficiently. We can also help you get those special items you want and still stay within budget. For example, if it's a priority to have a Sub-Zero refrigerator, we can show you how to stay within budget by selecting a less-expensive cabinet line that still gives your kitchen a high-quality look and feel.
We want you to know you can count on our experience, knowledge and long-term commitment to the remodeling industry – and to you. That's why we've always believed that having certifications such as CR and CKD is where the great kitchen and bath remodeling we do begins. Remember, we're always happy to help you explore new possibilities for any room in your home. Just give us a call any time.

Maintenance Tip: An Easy Way to Check for Water Leaks
Even if you have a low-flow toilet, it can still waste water if it's not in good repair. To find out if your toilet is in good working order, just add a small amount of food coloring to the tank (not the bowl) and check back in 15-30 minutes. If you see that the water in the bowl has changed color, water is seeping through from the tank, indicating it's time to replace some tank parts.
