Get Ready For Spring: 5 Reasons For A Custom Porch

Home|Archives forBathroom Remodel

Many homes have front or back porches that are used for a variety of purposes. If you are building a home or renovating, there are many reasons to invest in a custom porch. Surface Bella can help make a large space to entertain with quality porch materials and complete your project in the shortest timeline possible. Getting ready for spring and summer or outdoor gatherings can be made easier with a quality porch design. Here are just some of the top reasons you need a custom porch. 

1- Enhance Your Curb Appeal And Home Value

Doing any remodeling project will help increase your home value and improve the atmosphere of your home. New custom porches look wonderful and help increase the resale value of your home. While you may not plan on moving or selling your home in the near future, including a porch will be a major selling point for future buyers. Thinking about the future and changing trends during a remodel will help you get the best ROI when it comes time to put your home on the market.

2- Extend The Living Area

Your back porch can be an extension of your normal living area during warmer months. While many people gather on their front porches as well, having a back custom porch gives you some added privacy while letting you enjoy the sights and sounds of the outdoors. Whether you are using your porch with your family to eat dinner, or invite friends over, custom porches can increase your usable space. 

3- Receive More Vitamin D

With the upcoming spring season, having a space to enjoy the sun is a major benefit of a custom porch. Getting Vitamin D is important for your health so having a space to enjoy the sun will elevate your mood and immune system. Your porch can be a safe place to relax and enjoy the outdoors without the stress of bugs, or too much sun exposure, and can even block the wind. 

4- Specialty Place For Entertaining

With the added living and sitting space that comes with a custom porch, you will be able to host more events and family gatherings when you include a quality porch. Custom porches can include sun shades, be partially or fully enclosed, or have railings to protect children and make your porch usable all year round. 

Surface Bella Renovations can create a variety of sizes of porches, made of many different materials and stain colors. No matter your style or budget, we can make your porch dreams come true. 

5- Protection From The Elements

Getting out of the rain or snow quicker when getting home will be made easier with a custom porch. Covered porches will allow you to get out of the weather quicker, keep packages or mail from getting wet, and give you extra time to adjust your coat or clothes before heading out into the weather. Getting your bearings is made much easier when you have some extra protection from a porch.

Filed Under: Bathroom Remodel

For some home residents, getting into the tub can be more of a chore and take away from the relaxation that can come with hot baths. Being able to bathe safely is not only important for your health but for your quality of life. Some may not understand the difference between walk in tubs and walk in showers and how they can benefit different people. In this blog, we will discuss some of the pros and cons of each and what is best for your home.

Surface Bella wants to help elevate your home with quality installations of walk in tubs. Not only do we help renovate your bathroom, but we also offer porch and deck building, window installation, and more. 

How Much Space Do You Have To Work With?

Walk In Tubs Vs. Walk In Showers: Which Is Best For Your Home?

Designing a bathroom that works for your home starts with renovating the space you currently have. Choosing between walk in tubs or walk in showers will depend on what your current space looks like and how much extra space you have to work with. Choosing a bath or shower that fits in your room will help make the bathroom feel more comfortable. 

Many bathtubs will come in many shapes and sizes and can fit in a variety of bathroom spaces. Walk in tubs help your bathroom to be safer and will be worth readjusting your space. While walk in showers may be taller and safe more horizontal space, they may not work for certain demographics. Walk in tubs are not necessarily oversized but may take up some extra space in the bathroom then you originally planned for.  

Elderly Residents Or Those With Disabilities

Lifting your legs or climbing into a deep tub can be slippery and lead to falls for those with disabilities, those who are losing mobility, or the elderly. This demographic can benefit from walk in tubs because they still provide the relaxation and soaking element of a traditional tub without the high sides. 

Making sure that water doesn’t leak out of the walk in tub will require some consistent maintenance on the rubber or silicone seal around the tub. If you are looking into a walk in tub but have young children, a traditional tub may make bathing them easier for you because you can access all sides. Choosing products for your renovations will require extensive research and talking to our experts can help you make an informed decision.

Design Needs

If your bathroom has been designed around a traditional tub or shower, it may need to be readjusted for a walk in tub or shower. Walk in tubs can be installed over your previous tub if they have been installed to the wall, but some flooring, storage options, or other design elements may need to be removed. If you are very attached to the atmosphere or design of your bathroom, walk in tubs or showers may not be for you. 

Health Benefits Of Showers

Each bathing and washing solution will have health benefits for the user. While the most important element of a bathtub or shower is to help get you clean, other health benefits can help make your decision a little easier. Traditional shower or walk in shower benefits include:

  • Detoxification of the body
  • Softening of the skin
  • Open sinuses
  • Raise oxytocin levels
  • Reduce swelling
  • Increase blood flow
  • Increased concentration

Health Benefits Of Bathtubs

Besides getting you clean, baths can provide other benefits for your body that make them worth the money. These benefits can include:

  • Improve the quality of sleep
  • Relieve muscle pain and soreness
  • Soothe irritated skin
  • Burn calories
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Elevate mood

Installing a walk in tub will help those who struggle to get in the bath still reap the benefits that come from a bath without risking injury.

How To Set A Remodeling Budget

Moving into a fixer-upper has its pros and cons. Usually, it is less expensive than moving into a new-build home or prior remodeled house, but fixer-uppers do not always look the most attractive or have all of the features that would be in your dream home. That is where remodeling services come in. If you are looking to remodel your home in the near future, it is important to set a remodeling budget. Continue reading to learn how to easily build a remodeling budget that will suit your needs and will not break the bank.

Approximate Costs

The first step to take to create an accurate remodeling budget is to approximate the costs. Generally, rooms like the kitchen and the bathroom will be more expensive to remodel because people want to do a lot of changes, install new things, or completely start from scratch. Additions will also cost a fair amount of money because it is a whole new part of the home. If you are renovating your whole house it will likely pan out to an average cost of $20-60 dollars per square foot. However, if you’re just sticking to the kitchen or bathroom remodel, you’re probably looking at $80-$100 per square foot because it’s less space but larger changes.

Get Quotes

An important part of creating your home remodeling budget is to make sure you understand how much certain things will cost. That is why quotes and bids from professional contractors are important. However, before you ask your contractor to start giving you quotes, make sure that you know exactly what you want in your home, down to the most minute detail possible. That way your contractor will really be able to tell you how much something will cost. Choose a contractor that has good references, quality recent work, and a legit website. We at Surface Bella offer home remodeling services– reach out to us today for more information.

Have Priorities And Wiggle Room

It is important to keep in mind that even with a good plan, there will always be hiccups during the home remodeling process. That is why it is important to plan for problems before they happen and give yourself a little bit of wiggle room in your budget. By having priorities as to what you most want out of the home renovation, it will be easier to plan and pay for what you most want in your home. You can create more room in your budget by going for lower-cost options, keeping older items that still work, sizing down your project, and buying things yourself or doing some of the work yourself.

Figure Out How To Pay

The last step to take when setting a budget is to figure out how you will pay for everything. Will you pay out of pocket? Take out a loan? Refinance your home? There are many different options available to help people pay for remodels. Once you have determined how you will pay, you can now figure out how long the project will take and get to it!
