Important list and description of information about bathroom remodeling process BATHROOM REMODELING BASICS What Do I Need To Know? WHAT GOES INTO A TYPICAL PRIMARY / MASTER BATHROOM REMODEL? Will this bathroom improvement involve redesigning the space, including adjusting or moving walls? If the answer is yes or maybe, then you will probably need the following - a copy of your home's architectural plans that includes locations of plumbing, electrical and HVAC. Bringing in a plumber to look at your bathroom and adjacent areas can help with understanding hidden water lines, gas lines, PVC sewer and vent lines, locations of existing and proposed drain and p-traps, etc. Structural and engineering plans may be necessary for significant changes such as altering heights of ceilings and load bearing walls. Modifications to foundation areas or proposing heavy loads over second story floor joists are also indications you will need an engineer to accompany any permits. What if we just want to update our existing shower area, tub and surround, tile flooring and bathroom vanity areas? This represents a typical ask when it comes to primary bathroom makeovers and is usually a straight forward process that can be complicated to varying degrees depending on how much modifications you plan to make to your actual shower area, shower plumbing fixtures and tub plans.. For example, adding a freestanding tub to a first floor slab foundation may require some repositioning of water lines and drain location in the concrete. This is quite common, but absolutely involves a licensed plumber in the rough-in and final stages of the work. Verona Home Remodeling & Renovations ALWAYS has our licensed plumbers on hand for initial consultation of proposed work, after demo and for the actual rough-in work, and finally to finish out adding the plumbing fixtures. What is involved in a shower area replacement? Lets start with making sure you have compiled plenty of visual examples of design ideas you like on sites like HOUZZ, PINTREST, HGTV, etc. Magazine articles and maybe even some preliminary drawings of your own. Next, let Verona Home Remodeling help with your design plans using our complimentary design and planning service, when you are working with us on a potential remodeling customer. We will use our resources and devote time to help you refine your ideas, marrying your vision with functionality, feasibility and cost. Verona Home Remodeling will guide you through choices in materials, labor, plumbing fixture options, dos and don'ts, and more. In addition, our detailed quote process will provide you with a roadmap to help you decide just how over the top and grand you want to take your project. Important comments about home improvement and resale vale. Keep in mind that bathroom and kitchen remodels, though often desirable and completely necessary for YOU as the homeowner, may not always translate into added value for your home. A really good rule of thumb is the following - if your home has major rooms that a potential buyer might come in and dislike or believe they can find way better somewhere else, then your home might not command the comps for the neighborhood you reside and which is likely used for comp values. Rarely will your home command much more than the neighborhood comps solely based on the fact that you have updated your kitchen or bath to the tune of $60,000 to $100,000. Certain functional improvements made to your home will definitely stretch the boundaries, allowing you to command more for your home in a sellers market . So, if you tear out a functionally poor master bathroom layout in favor of a much cleaner, open and functional design, your home might be far more desirable than the other homes in your area, and therefore might bring you a bit of a premium in the right market. On the other hand, if you choose wildly lavish materials or spend money upgrading a space far beyond the norm for your neighborhood, you are likely gaining the joy of that upgrade while you are living there, but it might not translate into better resale value. In fact, if you choose to do something so dramatic and eclectic, your home could actually be less desirable since a prospective buyer might see it as a greater hassle to alter down the line. What list of materials and associated labor for professional services you should you be thinking of in a bathroom remodel? Shower area : Labor - SHOWER DEMO - the extent of demo needed to remove old tile, thin set/mortar and grout, old wallboard/cement board, water damaged studs and plywood, insulation, etc. Labor - removing the old shower pan (concrete, mortar, tile, grout), inspecting for water damage, rot and structural defects at the subfloor and below prior to prepping for rebuild. If on first floor foundation, there usually is not plywood, but damage could be located along the perimeter at the level of the pressure treated lumber touching the concrete. Labor (included) - haul off of removed/demolished materials, which is generally lumped in with the demo process. Labor (included) - preliminary visual inspection by a licensed plumber of the pipes and PVC drains so that he/she knows what to expect when they begin the buildout or rough-in process. Shower build materials needed : Materials are all building products and fixtures/hardware and appliances in the remodeling/renovation process. There are readily available materials and items which should be ordered well in advance so as to not hold up the remodeling process due to backorders and shipping delays. Examples are custom cabinets and plumbing fixtures, such as rain shower heads and valves. Materials (readily available) - Lumber such as plywood and studs, steel or Simpson strong ties, screws, nails, etc. Materials (readily available) - 1/2" and 1/4" Cement board in 3' x 5' sheets; cement board fasteners Materials (readily available) - Red Guard Waterproofing membrane or Schluter Waterproofing system. Materials (readily available) - Shower pan build materials, concrete and mortar mix, rubber membrane, etc. Materials - Plumbing rough-in drain assembly and rough in valves Materials - Plumbing - PEX, copper pipe for hot/cold lines, fittings, PVC, etc. Materials - Shower WALL TILE - Calculated as installable area plus 15 to 20 percent overage for cuts and waste Materials (readily available) - Mortar and Grout Materials (readily available) - Schluter Edge - Optional use where edging is aesthetically beneficial Shower build labor required : Labor - Niche / cubby framing (16"x24", 16"x32, 18"x48",, full length wall buildout) - another name for this cutout is the shampoo box. Modern designs have long cubbies running the length of the shower wall as an "accent" strip Labor - Additional structural support for frameless shower glass anchoring - includes installing studs and plywood and allows the anchoring hardware and hinges to scree deep into the wall behind the more fragile tile. Labor - Cement board installation on shower walls - this replaces older showers that used green board or less water safe materials in shower areas. Cement board can extend from the shower into the tub areas. Labor - Red Guard waterproofing application or Schluter install - a critical product necessary for tiled areas since moisture can and will eventually get behind the tile and grout due to the porous nature of some tiles and grout. Labor - TILE INSTALLATION - Shower Walls - calculated as installable area x cost per square foot for labor Labor - specialty or tile pattern upcharge - less common except for highly detailed or intricate installations Labor - Grouting - no additional charge unless epoxy is used for miter cut corners or bullnose Labor - Bullnose edging or Schluter edge - comes in white, stainless, brushed nickel, polished chrome, etc. and serves as a desirable transition between tiled areas and painted, wood, or wallpapered sections. It covers the exposed edge of a tile that is unfinished compared to the polished surface of the tile. Some tiles are through and through color and texture which allows the homeowner to opt against using metal edge transitions that can effect the character of the tile job. FABRICATION AND INSTALLATION - Frameless shower glass - the process involves taking detailed measurements after tile is installed, custom ordering the glass from a manufacturing supplier and then installation by a professional team. Glass-tile transitions are sealed with silicone and hinges and brackets are installed according to the size and shape of each glass panel and door. Vanity, vanity associated plumbing and vanity countertops : Materials - Quartz, Quartzite, Granite, Marble - Priced either as a full slab order or an in stock (inventory held) material that is sold by the square foot plus necessary overage to fabricate the cuts to be installed Materials - Stone backsplash typically 4" high x length Materials - Vanity sink(s) - modern rectangle, other? Materials - Vanity faucet and plumbing ( see plumbing and plumbing fixture pricing) Labor - Fabrication and installation of countertop pieces - includes standard eased edge sides and corners. Slabs are sent from the distributors warehouse to the fabrication shop, where the templates are used to cut the individual pieces needed from a slab that is generally 10 feet long by 6 feet high. Labor - Cut and polish for each sink opening; installers will adhere undermount sink to countertop and install the section along with the undermount sink. Vanity Plumbing Labor (licensed plumber) - reconnect vanity sink(s) is generally a next day or same day follow up to install any new faucets and drain assemblies. Bathtub modifications ( drop in tub switch to freestanding) and associated plumbing Materials and Labor - requires licensed master plumber to often move drains and water lines, install new stand alone fixtures and tub placement on concrete slab or second floor area. Materials include tub itself, plumbing drain lines, rough in assembly, freestanding or wall faucet install, etc. Note - installing a new drop in tub can be less expensive but does require not only plumbing but structural build of the tub deck and tiling, etc. Vanity Refinishing Labor - rather than replace your existing vanity cabinet(s), we may be able to remove the hardware, doors and drawers and spray refinish. Bathroom flooring Labor - Demo/tear out old tile flooring (shower pan separately) Labor - Structural modifications if necessary due to damage, warping, water damage, other Labor - remove/reset toilet before and after tile install, respectively Labor - Pull and reset base boards if necessary Materials - structural materials if necessary due to water damage, etc. - plywood, subfloor, studs, insulation, etc. Materials - 1/4" cement board for tiling; cement board fasteners/screws Materials - FLOOR TILE - Porcelain, ceramic, stone (travertine), marble, etc. - customer will choose type and styple Materials - LHT mortar and grout Labor - FLOOR TILE installation - includes grouting Labor - Select marble tiles require additional honing after tile install and sealants Lighting and Electrical Labor - can be as basic as switching out a chandelier / adding dimmer switches, however, it may involve more extensive modifications of electrical circuits and lighting done by a licensed electrician. Structural modifications to framing/drywall, concrete, headers, etc. Requires additional permitting and time. Closet improvements, other custom woodworking and enhancements Labor - woodworking Materials - lumber, metal shelving and brackets, custom materials, etc. Modifications to your HVAC Sometimes changes require ductwork alterations, involving licensed HVAC contractors.

Stone countertops refers to granite, quartz, quartzite, marble and other natural stone surfaces STONE COUNTERTOPS (214) 239-1199 VeronaHomeRemodeling.com VERONA home DESIGN SCAN ME - PHONE 214-239-1199 Porcelain Farmhouse Sink Installation - quartz countertop, farmhouse sink, commercial style pull-down faucet in brushed gold, brushed gold garbage disposal drain ring. Farmhouse sink installation installation of farmhouse sink undermount in quartz countertop fitting new countertop installation of countertop Porcelain Farmhouse Sink Installation - quartz countertop, farmhouse sink, commercial style pull-down faucet in brushed gold, brushed gold garbage disposal drain ring. 1/16 MORE THAN YOU EVER NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT INSTALLING YOUR NEW COUNTERTOPS 1 - If we are replacing existing countertops, we will come out to your home and measure the total countertop area and make note of angles, corners and slab orientation for aesthetics. NOTE - The longest uninterrupted span is an important consideration since maximum slab lengths are often under 130 inches or just under 10 feet long. However, the average slab is usually 120"L x 72"D 2 - If we are measuring for new construction or significant cabinet modifications, we will work with design and architectural plans, then take measurements once the base cabinets are installed. 3 - We measure each countertop section as LENGTH and WIDTH. Slab orientation is important here, especially if the stone slab has a directional pattern. 4 - Next, it's time to find you the slabs for your spaces. Verona will put together a quote based on the type of material you like. For instance, Calcutta Gold Quartz, Taj Mahal Quartzite, or pure white Quartz. Your quote will reflect the cost of the material chosen, fabrication cost, sink or cut out polishing, standard eased edge or bullnose edges, slab installations and plumbing hook up of sinks and gas range. It is at this stage that you will want to select your new sink(s), faucet(s) and appliances that will drop into your countertops, so that we have detailed templating plans for fabrication. 5 - If you are satisfied enough with your quote, we will either send you over to the stone slab distributor that has your desired material in stock so that you can physically see the quality of the slab and the beauty of the pattern. Natural stone such as granite, marble and quartzite are cut from a huge block in successive slices, therefore the veining pattern runs through or is very similar when stacked together. They will often be listed as slab 3-4-5 or 1-4, so you have a good idea of what they look like. If you like what you see, it's time to purchase the slabs so that they can be held until the fabricator can pick them up and start working on the cuts. 6 - Meanwhile, we will send out someone trained in templating your countertops so that the measurements can be used for precise stone cutting fabrication. It often takes 10-14 days from templating to scheduled installation day. When the slabs arrive at your house, they are ready for installation, cut outs for range top or sink. 7 - Old countertops are removed and discarded. New material is installed in a single afternoon, unless the job is exceptionally large. Undermount sinks are sealed in place and range tops are dropped in place for the plumber to connect. Plumbing reconnect is coordinated and scheduled for 24 hours after countertop installation. After the plumber leaves, you should have all sinks, garbage disposals, faucets, soap dispensers, etc. finished. Your countertop installation is now completed NOTE - Sometimes existing backsplash tile meeting the seam at the old countertop height is different than the new installation. This critical issue is anticipated and will be conveyed to you before installation day. If this is the case, it may be necessary to remove backsplash tile, trim or replace backsplash tiles altogether. Again, this will be discussed with you. If for instance, your cabinet bases are not level and the old countertop was placed directly on top with the backsplash meeting the stone, installing new countertops level might mean that the new 3cm slab would hit above the backsplash line and needs to be remedied. How Verona Home Remodeling Calculates Pricing for Fabrication And Installation of Stone Countertops EXAMPLE OF KITCHEN COUNTERTOP ESTIMATE Using "In Stock" available QUARTZ and 140 square feet total for measured countertops and optional backsplash in same quartz material to a height of 21" (standard backsplash) 1 - MATERIAL -SALES - 3cm in stock quartz - - - - Qty: 140sf Rate: $30sf Total: $4,200T 2 - LABOR - SALES - Fabricate/Install countertops Qty: 90sf Rate: $35sf Total: $3,150 3 - LABOR - SALES - Fabricate/Install backsplash Qty: 30sf Rate: $35sf Total: $1,050 4 - LABOR -SALES - Cut & Polish for Sink Qty: 1 Rate: $160 Total: $160 5 - LABOR -SALES - Eased edge cut/polish Qty: 1 Rate: $0 Total: $0 6 - LABOR -SALES - Plumbing to connect sink Qty: 1 Rate: $195 Total: $195 7 - LABOR -SALES - Plumbing for faucet Qty: 1 Rate: $185 Total: $185 Subtotal $8,940 plus tax Note - $1,050.00 can be removed from above countertop quote if no quartz is used for the backsplash, however, keep in mind that tiling a full backsplash will cost materials and labor to install after countertops are installed. Items below are necessary but for this example are calculated independently of countertop totals 8 - MATERIAL -SALES - Blanco 33" Undermount Qty: 1 Rate: $595 Total: $595T 9 - MATERIAL -SALES - Commercial Faucet Qty: 1 Rate: $425 Total: $425T Subtotal $1,020 plus tax 16sf 2'x8' 32sf 2'x16' range sink 28sf 3.5'x8'' 8sf 2'x4' 6sf 2'x3'' SUB ZERO CALCULATING COUNTERTOP SQUARE FEET (SF) ISLAND 3.5' X 8' = 28sf LEFT SIDE 2' x 8' = 16sf REAR 2' X 16' = 32sf RIGHT REAR 2' X 4' = 8sf RIGHT FRONT 2' X 3" = 6sf Total install area = 90sf 1.2 (overage or waste factor) x 90sf = 108sf MATERIAL NEEDED = 108sf for in stock quartz SPECIAL ORDER MATERIAL IS CALCULATED DIFFERENTLY. Purchase is BY THE SLAB ONLY! This is an industry standard. It means that if you need 90sf of material to install, at a minimum you will need to purchase two slabs to cover 90sf plus cuts and overage needs. Considerations: If a slab is 120 inches by 72 inches, that is 10ft x 6ft, or 60sf of material. It would be nice to use every last piece of the slab, but that is often not possible for many reasons. First, the cuts and polish create some waste, so if you cut a section 25 inches wide, you may actually waste an inch on both sides, or you may waste 10 inches off the end. Additionally, it is necessary to take into account the slab's vein pattern. If the vein runs long ways across the slab, you will need the largest piece for your center island. Plus, if you cut a section of slab long direction 3.5 feet wide and 8 feet long, you can't turn the slab and use the 2ft piece at the end even if it is a full 6 feet wide, if the vein pattern runs perpendicular to the piece adjacent. It's simply aesthetics! Back to the example - If you need 90sf of material, you need one slab at 60sf and at a minimum a second slab for 30 sf more PLUS whatever waste you need to get the vein pattern running properly. It is likely that you might even need a third slab if the pattern is difficult. In this case, we might recommend an entirely different material due to the waste factor. Solid or non-directional materials can mitigate this waste such as pure white quartz with no veins.

Selections of various types of stone and porcelain tile used for home improvement Getting The Most Out of Your Remodeling Plans! Transforming Your Kitchen Plans And Architectural Drawings Starting with drawings, architectural plans, photos, magazine images, and exaples on HOUZZ or Pintrest, ideas can be transformed into a functional space that fits your style. Important Considerations Prior To Beginning Some important choices that you will need to make.... Altering the functional layout of your kitchen versus keeping it the same. Will you want to expand the size of your island or convert a peninsula into a free standing structure with appliances or a sink? Will you want a large farmhouse sink or an undermount type? Do you desire a commercial style faucet with a separate pot filler and extension hose? Do you want QUARTZ, QUARTZITE or GRANITE countertops? Will your island(s) have an overhang for bar style seating? Some other important decisions you will need to make are the following: (1) will your range or rangetop be relocated? If so, have you considered the type of range hood you will want? Functionally, you can choose a vent and hood system that meshes with your existing setup so that you don't have to relocate the vent system to the exterior. In some cases you can choose a ventless filter system for your range hood or you can use a downdraft system if one is already in place in a stand alone island or in front of a large kitchen window. Many ranges or full ovens are designed to function best with large (wood or stainless steel) hoods 24" to 30" above the cooking surface. Vent hood systems come in many sizes, but are typically 30", 36", 42", 48", and 50-60". Sizing is for good reason. Most townships, cities, or local government agencies dictate code that requires a range hood to be at least 6" larger than the cooking surface. Plus, larger hoods typically have more suction power, but this is not always a rule. In almost all cases, a stronger blower/suction is better than a less powerful unit for removing smoke and heat from the cooking area. Quartzite Countertops Cabinet Refinishing APPLIANCE LAYOUT FOR GREAT FUNCTION Additional Things To Discuss With Your Contractor There are many other things you will need to discuss with your remodeling contractor. One very important consideration is your kitchen cabinets. Depending on the quality or condition of your current cabinets, will you want to resurface (fine finish spray paint or stain) your existing cabinets or will you want to weigh the cost of replacing your cabinets with semi-custom or custom cabinets. These days, almost all cabinets purchased in larger stores or online sites are semi-custom cabinets. A floorplan is created in a CAD program, cabinets are laid out based on function, aesthetics, etc. Once ordered, they will be assembled in 6-12 weeks from a pre-established cabinet line or style, and then shipped, usually with a standard group of colors. Occasionally, a higher end line will have greater customization options and paint color choices. When received, they are ready for professional installation. Coordinating the arrival of this order is of utmost importance due to the time from ordering to arrival. Any delays can slow down the project timeline. With backordering in mind, the same goes for any appliances that need to be ordered before a job can fully be scheduled so that timelines can be maintained. A List Of Most Important Areas Of Work 1) Drawings and plans - 3-D CAD designs, architectural drawings to scale, photos, etc. 2) Cabinet refinishing - painting or staining of natural wood cabinets vs installing new updated cabinets. 3) New cabinet hardware - door pulls in various styles and shapes - finishes include, gold, brushed, satin finish, matte, nickel, 4) Cabinet organization - single or double doors vs more pull-out drawers, roll out shelving, dividers. 5) Countertop materials - quartz, quartzite, granite, marble, wood, etc. 6) Sink material (stainless, quartz, porcelain), style, size, shape, etc. 7) Kitchen faucet style, flow rate, nozzel type, metal finish (brushed, satin, antiqued, etc.). 8) Island - countertop functional flow and design - shape, height, appliances, seating. 9) Appliance manufacturer, style, size, etc. 10) Specialty appliances - wine fridge, in-cabinet wine dispensers, in-cabinet microwave ovens and coffee makers. 11) Pantry - size, placement considerations, functionality, secondary counter space, etc. 12) Flooring - high traffic areas, functionality, overall look in the kitchen. Hardwood vs porcelain tile in the kitchen. 13) Wall Paint Colors - color palet includes trim, walls, cabinets, stone countertops, ceiling, fixtures - how well do your color choices blend and compliment each other? 14) Electrical and Plumbing considerations - remodeling almost always involves some plumbing and electrical outlet/fixture work. We always use a licensed plumber and electrician! 15) Special lighting ideas - pendant lighting over island, chandelliers, etc. 16) Range hood ideas - custom designed, semi-custom hoods ordered with kitchen cabinets, vent hood mechanics and venting, electrical considerations. More Quartz Composite Sinks Are Super Strong, Scratch And Stain Resistant. Quartz Sinks Come In Various Colors Such As White, Truffle, Beige, Dark Grey, Black, etc. Painting Prep And Isolation Is Are Important Steps In the Process Fine Finish Spray Refinishing Of Removed Cabinet Doors and Drawers Choosing paint colors for cabinet refinishing and pattern / colors for stone countertops.
