Choosing Flooring for a Pacific Northwest Home Beyond the Sample Board
A flooring sample tells you about color and texture. It says much less about the floor underneath it, the doorway it must meet or how it will handle your household’s routine. Those details can determine whether a material that looks right is a sensible choice for a particular room. In a Pacific Northwest home, think […]
Can You Live at Home During a Remodel? Make a Room-by-Room Plan
Staying home during a remodel sounds simple until the room being rebuilt is also the route to your only bathroom. Whether the arrangement is workable depends on the project, the household and how the work area can be separated from daily life. Decide with a room-by-room plan rather than a general promise to put up […]
Bathroom Moisture Planning Before You Choose Tile
A bathroom remodel can improve the room’s appearance while leaving an old moisture problem untouched. The fan may run without removing much air. A stain may have been painted over before its source was identified. A beautiful shower surface may hide details that deserve more attention than the tile color. Before choosing finishes, make a […]
Repaint, Reface or Replace Kitchen Cabinets? Start With What Works

Answering them before choosing a floor plan can prevent you from designing a building that does not fit the site’s requirements. An ADU […]
Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel Permits in Pierce County: Where to Start
“Do I need a permit?” sounds like a yes-or-no question. For a kitchen or bathroom remodel, the useful answer depends on the property address and the complete work involved.

Bathroom Layout Planning: What to Decide Before You Choose Tile
A bathroom can look completely different after a remodel and still have the same daily problems. The door hits the vanity. There is nowhere to set down a towel. Two people cannot get ready without stepping around each other. New tile will not fix those frustrations unless the layout changes with it. Before choosing finishes […]
