EXPERT ADVICE: 5 trends in bathroom remodeling
1. Ditch the tub. Homeowners are ditching the bathtub and opting for a spacious shower instead. One bathtub in the home is enough for children and re-sale value, but in master bathrooms, homeowners are almost always choosing to have a large shower.
2. Gray tones. The traditional beige bathroom is on its way out as homeowners are looking for a cool, crisp color palette in gray tones. “Greige” is another trending color being requested to create a warm space.
3. Marble. This stone is in high demand thanks to its soft, sweeping veins and timeless appeal. Carrara or Calacata marble are two popular types that fit in with the gray color trend. The vast majority of clients are interested in marble these days, and who wouldn’t be?
4. Natural light. Homeowners want bathrooms to be light and bright, letting natural light in and selecting tiles on the pale side with a dark floor or vice versa.
5. Blue and white. The combination of blue and white has emerged in popularity, especially in Shore homes. The blue creates a refreshing pop of color on the bright and airy white.
—Linda Stelmaszyk, Owner/President, Stoneshop
EXPERT ADVICE: 5 tips for a greener lawn
1. Have a soil test done to determine the nutrient content and the pH of your soil. This allows for a custom treatment program rather than a blanket/standard application of lime, nitrogen and other nutrients. More people are following this direction as they become more aware of offsite runoff and its effects on our fresh water supplies.
2. Treat pests (weeds, fungus and insects) only if they cross the aesthetic and plant health thresholds.
3. Water at the correct time of day. Leaving a lawn saturated overnight only adds to disease problems.
4. Mow at a height that is healthy for your type of lawn turf. Cutting too low or removing a large portion of the grass blade are cultural practices which will harm your lawn.
5. Aerate, thatch and seed as needed. For a thick, healthy lawn, some type of seeding is required to fill in those bare spots caused by pest damage or shade. Without a healthy stand of turf, the weeds will fill in those areas.
—Joe Ehrenreich, CLP, General Manager, Young’s Landscape Management
EXPERT ADVICE: 5 trends in kitchen countertops
1. Leathered finishes. This adds texture to a stone countertop, closing the pores and retaining the color, resulting in a softer, less reflective surface than polished stone.
2. Quartzite. A durable, natural stone, quartzite is a popular style today. It’s harder than granite and generally found in white and gray.
3. Quartz. Not to be confused with quartzite, quartz is a man-made product that is less prone to chipping than natural stone and comes in a wider range of colors.
4. Cultured Marble. This option blends natural stone materials with man-made materials which can be molded into a one-piece vanity top. It’s a cost-effective alternative.
5. Beveled Edge. For hard surfaces in your kitchen or bathroom, a beveled edge adds detail and customization to complete the look.
—Ron Buzzetta, President, R. Buzzetta Builders and Buzzetta’s Kitchen Gallery
EXPERT ADVICE: 5 reasons why a pool is a good investment
1. When you build a pool, you’re actually creating a fun and relaxing space for your children and family to spend time together without ever leaving the backyard. You’ll make lasting memories as you teach your kids to swim, play with them in the pool and barbecue by the water.
2. A well-designed swimming pool isn’t just a bunch of water. It can turn your backyard into an elegant outdoor oasis. With waterfalls, vanishing edges and other unique amenities, a pool can serve as a relaxing and inviting centerpiece in your own backyard. 3. The health benefits alone are worth owning a pool. Swimming works your entire body with low risk of injury. You get the benefits of im¬proving your cardiovascular system, increas¬ing your muscle strength and improving your flexibility all at the same time.
4. Your happiness is just as important as your health. In fact, studies have shown that if you are happy and satisfied with your life, you are more likely to be healthy in the future. Health and happiness truly go hand in hand.
5. Save Some Money. A pool is easier to finance and maintain than most people think. And in the long run, pools are less expensive than big family vacations and other entertainment options and they last longer. Building a pool is a great investment that will reap rewards for a lifetime.
—Michael P. McCool Jr., General Manager, Swim-Mor Pools And Spas
EXPERT ADVICE: 5 reasons why Energy Star-certified windows and doors are the right choice
1. Save money on energy bills. Save about a third on your energy bills by replacing windows and doors with double- or triple-pane windows, with a Low-E coating, Argon or Krypton gas, and energy-efficient spacer systems.
2. Increase home value. According to a recent report, the average consumer recoups up to 72.9 percent of their investment on replacing windows with energy-efficient vinyl options.
3. Enjoy enhanced comfort and style. No more painting and staining. With vinyl replacement windows, an exterior PVC-coated aluminum wrap covers the wood, making it easy to clean and maintain the look.
4. Help protect the environment. Reducing your utility bills with new replacement windows also helps protect the environment and reduces your carbon footprint. Since 1992, families and businesses have saved over $300 billion on utility bills and prevented more than 2.5 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions [by replacing their windows].
5. Update your home’s entrance. An old entry door may let in more cold air than three windows. With all the different color, glass and style options a new entry door adds a great look to your home. The homeowner can recoup up to 72 percent of their investment, according to the 2015 national average.
