Bathroom Remodeling Trends to Anticipate in 2024

A new year is an excellent time to refresh an essential part of your home. Having an updated bathroom that improves your quality of life and contributes to your home’s overall style will liven up your property and create long-lasting benefits. Speak to our expert team of home renovation contractors to learn how our exceptional designers and architects can implement the following bathroom trends in your next remodel project.

Modern Designs

According to the 2024 Bath Trends Report from the National Kitchen & Bath Association, 55% of respondents agreed that contemporary and modern design styles with an organic, natural influence continue to trend. Clean lines and pristine finishes in bathroom fixtures are much sought after by many homeowners. The experienced design and construction team at Flansburg Construction can implement fixtures and additions made from materials that match your interior vision.

Doorless Showers With Built-In Amenities

There’s nothing better than a bathroom with upgraded amenities that work for you. Fancy, doorless showers continue to be in high demand. Our design-build contractors are happy to provide you with insights on how we can incorporate modern shower technology and a layout that transforms your space. A shower configuration without a door can broaden the space’s interior cohesion and strengthen a sense of connectivity between each part of the bathroom. Don’t forget to ask our design experts about shower features like built-in seating and hand-held shower heads.

Quartz Counters and Patterned Tiles

Quartz remains a popular choice of material for countertops and additional elements of the bathroom. The low-maintenance requirements of quartz features make them popular among homeowners, and their customization options allow you to meld your bathroom counter’s design to the walls and floors.

Speaking of which, ask our design specialists about elaborate, stunning tile arrangements that our construction team can install. We can source a variety of patterned designs that fulfill your vision for your dream bathroom. Our crew can provide recommendations and insights into how we make these key additions.

Not Sure What You Want Out of a Basement Remodel? Try These 4 Ideas!

Are you considering a basement remodel? It’s an excellent idea given that 60% of U.S. homes have wet basements, and 38% run the risk of basement mold, according to This Old House. When it comes to what you’re looking to get out of your remodel, you have a large pool of options. Here are four ideas that your local design build basement remodeling company can help you create.

1. A Home Office

Do you work from home? Whether it’s full-time or on occasion, you need a dedicated home office space. Luckily, a basement remodeling company can finish your basement and create the office space you need. Since the basement is often quieter than the rest of your home, it’s the perfect spot for phone calls, video calls, or just focusing on your work without distractions.

2. A Guest Suite

While some homes have a guest bedroom, a guest suite can be a real game changer. Do you have family that likes to visit and stay with you? What about friends who come over for a drink and end up needing a place to sleep? If so, a guest suite could be a great idea for your basement remodel. With a private bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, living room, and more, your guests will truly appreciate having their own beautiful space.

3. A Laundry Room

Your home more than likely has a washer and dryer, but does it have a dedicated laundry room? If you choose to create a laundry room in your basement remodeling project, you can add countertops for easy sorting and folding, cabinets for storing things like detergent, dryer sheets, or an ironing board, and even a sink for hand washing delicates easily.

4. A Home Theater

A basement is typically a dark space. While windows can most certainly be added in most cases, a dark basement can be the perfect spot for a home theater. A basement remodeling company can create a stepped floor for rows of recliners, install recessed lighting fixtures, and install a large TV or projector screen.

Interested in pursuing any of the ideas above? Interested in learning about more ways you can customize your basement remodel? Get in touch with our design build firm today at Flansburg Construction. We can’t wait to help you create a New Jersey basement you’ll love for years to come!

Winter Additions That Will Refresh Your Home

The cold air and snowfall of the winter signals a time of immense change. The end of the year is a great time to re-evaluate what makes your home special to you, and how its potential can be maximized with residential home additions. If you’re looking for renovations that expand upon your property’s current assets, then read here to learn more about what our design-build remodel team can skillfully provide.

Open the Space for Family Gatherings

The winter is a time for togetherness and creating memories. For those looking to host gatherings of their family and friends over the holidays, an expanded space could be just what your property needs to make the people you care about feel at home. Our team of design and construction experts can rework the size of your living room, basement, or primary bedroom according to your needs. A bigger basement could turn what might be a storage space into a recreational room you and your guests will love. A closed-off kitchen space can be given more room with the implementation of an open-concept space, courtesy of our team of contractors.

Make a Luxurious Bathroom

According to a study by Money.com, 30% of home renovations for U.S. homeowners are bathroom upgrades, making it the most popular project. With the state-of-the-art craftsmanship of our contractors, your bathroom space can be transformed with additions such as new cabinetry, a new sink, or a new countertop. Whether your idea of the perfect bathroom is one of warm colors and rich finishes or clean lines and a cool palette, our crew can provide and implement appliances and fixtures that match your vision.

Create a Cozy Space

Your home is a cozy sanctuary, especially during a season of cold temperatures and long nights. Get in touch with our interior experts and builders about lighting upgrades, decor refreshes, and flooring solutions. These additions will make your primary bedroom the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day.

Event Recap: The 2023 Remodeler’s Summit Helps Industry Leaders Look Forward

Every year the Flansburg team looks forward to attending the Remodelers Advantage Summit, one of the most invigorating and informative industry events, and this year was no exception. We recently headed to Chicago to connect with fellow remodeling experts on the state of the industry, get a pulse on the trends to expect in 2024, and network with colleagues from all over the country.

This year’s theme was “Breakthrough: The Art of Overcoming Adversity”. It felt especially appropriate in light of the challenges that our industry has faced over the last few years, from supply chain issues to inflation. With a strong and encouraging message from the Keynote Speaker, Vince Poscente (who is an expert on resiliency), as well as a curated series of targeted workshops and breakout sessions, this year’s event provided tons of valuable information. Events like this help top companies prepare for success in the coming year, and beyond.

With 700 attendees, 38 speakers, 28 partners, and 32 different workshops, this enormous event had something to support everyone’s industry goals, providing valuable takeaways at every turn.

As a member of the Remodelers Advantage Roundtables Group (and Roundtables MVP award winner, to boot!) our owner, Dan Flansburg, shared some of his key takeaways from this year’s event:

“There are plenty of experts out there,” Dan said, “but there are few that create great relationships and deliver expert results.”

First, being a design-build industry expert is so important to the clients that we serve at Flansburg Construction, but even more so is cultivating and maintaining strong relationships with our clients, team members, and vendors.

Second, the secret to a successful business—no matter what the industry—is strong leadership, which isn’t always inherent, but rather a skill that must be learned and practiced in order to become effective.

As we move forward into a busy 2024, these lessons will help form an even stronger framework for us to continue to grow and flourish!

Why You Should Add Another Bedroom to Your Home

Are you thinking about consulting with our local design build firm about a residential home addition? Do you want an extra bedroom for guests to be comfortable in or an additional room to allow your children to have their own space? Below are the many benefits of adding another bedroom to your home with help from our team.

Simply Put, More Space

If you feel cramped in your home with the number of bedrooms you have right now, then you may want to invest in a home addition. With another room, everyone has their own room, and no one is left feeling overcrowded. You can ensure you have adequate space with a newly added room with help from our team.

Improved Home Value

Today, people are looking for homes in New Jersey that are exactly what they need. They don’t want to buy a home that they know they’ll have to work on in a few years. By adding another bedroom to your home, many potential buyers will be interested when you’re eventually ready to sell. 60% of buyers in the last year said it was extremely important that a home included a spare or guest bedroom, according to Zillow. That’s why it’s important to contact us to start planning a residential home addition project to give potential buyers what they want once you’re ready to put your home on the market.

Avoid That Move

If you want or need another bedroom to have more functionality or space, then you may consider moving. However, planning a home addition is a lot easier. This way, you won’t have to worry about the hassle of moving and finding a new house that checks all of your boxes. You can get your dream home by expanding upon the one you already own. Our team has experience helping those in the area get everything they need without having to move away from the neighborhood.
