People spend a lot of time in their kitchens. For the most part, a kitchen is the heart of a home. You cook there. You eat there. You prepare food there. Kids do their schoolwork there. You host parties there.

Since a lot of time is spent in this room, it makes a lot of sense for this room to look its best. You want a kitchen to reflect your needs and wants. if your kitchen is looking a little drab, outdated or doesn’t fulfill the needs of your household, it may be time for a kitchen renovation – even a small revamp can make your kitchen look and feel entirely different.

From the initial planning to completion, we work with our clients every step of the way. We work with them on decisions about countertops, backsplashes, sinks, faucets, appliances, handles, cabinets, seating, doors, plumbing, lighting, flooring, colors, and more.

As a professional renovation contractor, we wanted to share some fun kitchen renovation ideas for you to consider when you decide to give your kitchen a makeover.  

1. Use stained glass on some of the cabinet doors for a unique and artsy look.
2. Hide your refrigerator by getting it paneled the same way as the cabinets.
3. Build open shelves into your cabinetry to display decorations and certain kitchenware. Open shelves also make the kitchen look bigger.
4. Cut a hole in a wall that connect the kitchen to another room to give your floorplan a more open feel.
5. Install a sink made from marble, granite, or copper for a sleek, fun, elegant, look.
6. Build-in hidden compartments and attachments for a cutting board, trash bins, USB cords, outlets, etc.
7. Add color or texture to the ceiling, especially if everything else in your kitchen is a neutral color.
8. Build a walk-in pantry with a sliding door.
9. Install a TV that is built into the counter top, and it is hidden when you’re not using it.
10. If you cook a lot, install a double oven, and double sink.

When it comes to remodeling your home, what comes to mind? The kitchen? A bathroom? Those two spaces are the most-renovated rooms in a house for sure, but there’s plenty of other home renovations you can do, as well. For this article, we wanted to talk about closets. Closets are essential to a home.They house our clothes, shoes, boxes, holiday decorations, food, and more!

Many homes don’t come built with the best closet space, and many homes don’t give you enough close space, so why not customize a new-and-improved closet for yourself? Whether you’re redoing a hallway closet or a dressing room area, we’ve got you covered at Sunset Builders & Maintenance. We take pride in our top-quality service and we’re experts in existing space renovation. Let us help you transform your drab or tiny closet into a space that will “wow”you!

We wanted to share with you some fun and practical ideas for closets in your home.

• Install a window or skylight into your closet. Closets are usually dark inside, and it can be hard to see or find anything. With the light from a window, you’ll be able to grab what you’re looking for a lot easier.
• Make a bathroom closet have glass or mirrored sliding doors. The sliding doors will save you space in the bathroom, and the glass will make the bathroom appear bigger.
• Turn your closet into a dressing room or office space. Bring in chairs and a table.This room can be a private space for you to dress, think, or work.
• Install shelves and storage all around the closet, so it looks like you’re walking into a store!
• Paint your closet bright and cheery colors, so you always have positive vibes when entering the room.
• Use motion sensors so whenever you walk in the room the lights will come right on.
• Dedicate a section of the closet for the washer and dryer. Now, the second you undress,you can toss your clothing right in to be washed.
• Install an island or counters into the closet. You can lay out clothes to either fold them or for inspiration while putting outfits together.
• Build cabinet space into your closet so you can store accessories, socks, underwear,and other items.
• Make your closet have a French door with colored or frosted glass.

Does a room in your home need a makeover? Kitchen? Bathroom?Believe it or not, a home renovation is a big undertaking. Sure, it’s not like building a new home, but a home renovation project could take three to six months depending on the scope of your project.

Home remodeling can be fun. You get to pick out new cabinetry,colors, flooring, tiles, etc. However, there’s a major decision you need to make before the design decisions occur: What contractor are you hiring?

The contractor will make your dream a reality. The contractor will be spending an extended period of time in your home, so you want to hire someone who is trustworthy, credible, experienced, and skilled. You want to hire a qualified, licensed, insured contractor.

As remodeling contractors, ourselves, our team wanted to share with you some things to do and think about before choosing a contractor.

• Look for recommendations for a contractor from family and friends. You can actually seethe contractor’s work in person to see if you like the craftsmanship. Your loved ones will also be hones with you.
• Look for a contractor near you on the National Association of Remodeling Industry list.
• Reach out to the Better Business Bureau or your state or town to see if there is any disputes or issues in the past or ongoing with a contractor that you’re interested in.
• Research a few contractors to compare.
• Meet with a contractor in person to see if you connect well.
• Ask the contractor for contact information of previous clients, how long he/she has been remodeling homes, how many projects does he/she work on at a time, and if he/she can handle this size project.
• Visit the contractor’s job sites or past construction work.
• Ask the contractor for a quote with a break down of labor costs, materials, other expenses, etc.
• Ask the contractor what his/her payment schedule is.
• Ask yourself if the contractor is trustworthy, skilled, and can communicate effectively.
