DIY Don’ts: The Cons of Doing Home Improvement Projects Yourself

Granite Transformations is the best alternative to DIY

Hiring professionals for major renovations is the smart decision in order to avoid expensive mishaps.

 

When it comes to DIY home improvement projects involving your kitchen or bathroom, cutting corners by doing projects yourself may come back to haunt you with even bigger costs. Improvement projects in these areas of the home are tricky and require highly skilled professionals to execute properly. At Granite Transformations, we provide you with an expertly completed install with beautiful products at a guaranteed estimate.

A popular reason why homeowners try to attempt home improvement projects themselves is because they believe this lowers the cost of the job. This is not always the case due to unforeseen costs involving the renting or purchasing of the expensive, specialized equipment you need to complete these installations. Additionally, you should consider how much your time is worth since these projects take a lot of time to research and execute for non-professionals. Plus, in the event that a project goes awry, you may end up paying more than you would have in the first place.

Granite Transformations is the perfect alternative to do-it-yourself projects. During your in-home consultation, we provide you with design advice as you choose your desired products and colors to meet your remodeling needs.  We can accommodate all your remodeling needs with our large selection of gorgeous granite countertops, recycled glass surfaces, mosaic tile and cabinet refacing.  At the end of the in-home consultation, we give you an honest, all inclusive estimate which encompasses the cost of materials and installation. After the materials have been made to fit your needs, a team of our expertly trained installers will install the products in as little as one day!

This means that you get the expertise of a professional designer, contractor, installer and more, all for one cost. Plus, because our estimate is guaranteed, there will be no added or surprise costs like with other remodeling services. You also get the added benefit of a lifetime warranty with Granite Transformations products.

Before and After: Featured Kitchen Remodel

Granite Transformations Kitchen Remodel - After

This kitchen is transformed to a gorgeous, modern space with this unbelievable Granite Transformations makeover.

 

Can you believe this is the same kitchen? With new countertops, mosaic tile backsplash and refaced cabinets, this is a prime example of the incredible transformative powers of Granite Transformations’ kitchen remodeling services.

One of the most important things in your kitchen is your countertop. With our granite surface, you get a material that is incredibly beautiful yet functional.  The benefits of this surface is due to its ForeverSeal finish, which makes this low maintenance, nonporous surface more heat, stain and scratch resistant than others while never needing to be sealed again.

Perhaps the most dramatic change to the kitchen is the cabinets. Most would see these outdated cabinets and immediately think they need to be torn out and replaced. However, what you may not realize is that the better and more cost effective option is to reface the cabinets. We love the clean, classic finish of these white cabinets to go along with the countertops. Finally, the gorgeous and earth-toned mosaic tile backsplash adds the perfect finishing touch to add dimension to this kitchen remodel.

A remodeling project like this one would take weeks, possibly months, to complete with other remodeling companies. With Granite Transformations, this remodel was installed within one week due to our unique installation process which minimizes the disruption to your home and life. Plus, our products are backed by a lifetime warranty, giving you an unparalleled value for your home remodel.

Pairing Rustic Kitchen Cabinets With Granite Countertops For Simple Elegance

Granite Transformations Cabin Kitchen Island

Today’s decorating trends are quite eclectic. There is no specific formula or any proper method to “put things together”. The only rule is that there are no rules except one: Follow your instincts.

If you are comfortable with your ideas, go for it.

An example that comes to mind is the use of log furniture in a modern decorating scheme. Depending on the approach you take, you can take on a rustic log cabin theme and pull it all together with accessories and appointments that add color as well as unique touches of style while taking away the heavy impression that log furniture can leave with you.

A good balance of styles can make your home comfy and truly enjoyable. Picture a kitchen/dining space with a beautiful natural pine log table and chairs set in a space decorated with contemporary rustic cabinetry and an attractive granite countertop.

 

Granite Transformations Cabin Kitchen Counter

 

The natural look of log furniture can be dramatic when set against the right background. This rustic feel can be carried out throughout the home and mixed and matched throughout. Rustic tables with legs that have been whitewashed can make a visual impression when the tabletops are topped with a style of granite similar to that used for the kitchen cabinets.

Because granite is a natural material, it will work well when used in combination with any number of materials. Rustic cabinets are an ideal base from which a theme can be fully developed. The great thing about granite is the many colors that nature has endowed it with. Most often, you will find a highlight color within the granite that can be used as the basis for color schemes throughout the home.

About the company:
JHE’s Log Furniture Place is a leading manufacturer and retailer of rustic log furniture. This company has a huge online store offering indoor and outdoor log furniture, as well as rustic décor and accessories. Its furniture is proudly made in the USA and the company has excellent customer service.

One of the smartest decisions you can make is to reinvest this money into your home by remodeling key areas of your home. According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2013 Cost vs. Value Report, kitchen and bathroom remodels have some of the biggest pay off, retaining 65-75% of the cost on a U.S. national average when you sell your home.

As the highest-traffic area of the home, the kitchen experiences a lot of wear and tear. Granite Transformations can help you utilize your tax refund to install a granite overlay, reface cabinets and add a backsplash to update your kitchen. This season’s biggest trends for kitchen remodels include bold patterned granite countertops which provide a durable and solid surface as well as darker wood tones which add warmth to kitchen cabinets.

Next to kitchens, bathrooms are the most remodeled room in the home. At Granite Transformations, we offer a gorgeous selection of glass mosaic tiles available in a variety of colors and custom design patterns. These glass mosaic tiles are extremely versatile, as they can be used for bath and shower walls, vanity accent details, decorative walls and more. Our durable and mildew resistant granite surfaces are also ideal for vanities, shower walls and floors.

The top photo represents an outdated bathroom later remodeled by Granite Transformations’ South New Jersey location. The old-fashioned pink shower tile was adorned with Granite Tranformations’ exclusive granite surface.

Additionally, Granite Transformations installed a more modern pedestal sink and an acrylic tub liner over the existing surface. The entire installation process was done very quickly with minimal disruption to the homeowners.

Granite Transformations Kitchen

With the amount of time you spend together, you may feel like you are in a long term relationship with your kitchen. Given all the great memories and meals your kitchen has given you, you may be thinking of how you can show your love for the most important room of your home. How can you do this? A makeover! Giving your kitchen a new look will make you love your kitchen more than ever.

 Rethink your countertops – If there is one thing to focus on during a remodel, it is your countertops. As a vital part of the kitchen, it is important to have a surface that can withstand whatever you throw at it. Granite Transformations’ exclusive granite is more heat, stain, and scratch resistant than ordinary surfaces.

 Add mosaic tiles Mosaic tiles are the perfect way to add a pop of color, texture and some personality to the kitchen. Try it as a kitchen backsplash or as a stylish accent.

 Redo your lighting Light fixtures are the equivalent of jewelry for your kitchen and can help you see a whole new side of this cherished space of your home. Subtle designs can add a classy touch while an extravagant fixture can make a bold statement.

 Reface your cabinets – A cost-effective way to give your kitchen new life is to reface your cabinets. This method proves to be a faster and less messy option than replacing cabinets. Granite Transformations’ cabinet refacing products have also proven to be resistant to moisture, heat and scratches.

 Refinish your appliances – Once you remodel your kitchen, your appliances may not match your new color scheme. Instead of replacing working kitchen appliances, look for an appliance refinishing company to reface your refrigerator, dishwasher and other appliances to give them a new look.
