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.

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!

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.

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.

3 Ways to Add More Excitement to Your Spare Room During a Remodel

Do you have a spare room you don’t use? Has it become a cluttered storage area? You’re not alone; many homeowners have guest rooms that are seldom used. Luckily, there are many ways you can add excitement and transform your space to make the most of it. With some careful considerations and a team of design build experts, anything is possible. Keep reading to get some inspiration and ideas for your spare room remodel.

1. Build a Walk-In Closet

A walk-in closet is at the top of most homeowner’s wishlists. In fact, according to House Digest, 79% of homeowners say a walk-in closet is their preferred type of closet. If your home doesn’t have one, now is your chance to build one! With the addition of custom shelving, hooks, and an ottoman or chair, a spare bedroom makes the perfect walk-in closet. Your design build remodeling company will be able to transform your unused spare room into a beautiful closet you’ll love spending time in.

2. Indulge in a Home Movie Theater

Who doesn’t love curling up with a blanket, some popcorn, and a good movie? With a home movie theater, you can get all the excitement of going out to the theater without the headaches. When you work with a design build remodeling company, you’ll be sure to get everything you need for your theater, including comfortable lounge seating, a professional sound system, and the right size screen. You can even install a popcorn maker!

3. Create a Home Gym

Do you love yoga, pilates, or just exercising in general? If so, creating a home gym out of your spare bedroom is a great idea. Your design build remodeler can install large wall mirrors, rubber gym flooring, and all the equipment you may need to get your workouts in at home.

There are an abundance of things you can do with a spare room remodel other than those listed above. You can create a home office, library, laundry room, kid’s playroom, home bar, den, and more!

From Barn to Pool House to Guest Cottage: Bringing New Life to a Beautiful Building

The Recipe for Guest Success

More than a spare bedroom or even a guest suite in the main house, this separate space had room to accommodate visitors in a welcoming home-away-from-home complete with all the amenities. From a full galley kitchen, a laundry room and two bathrooms to a large living area, primary suite, a quiet office, and carefully-selected décor, all of our clients’ guests’ needs would be covered—even for a longer stay.

Cottage Vibes

To create a cozy, welcoming guest experience, we used white shiplap ceilings and walls that feel as though they’ve always been there; warm wood flooring and window frames; and a brick-backed stove that is made for fireside chats. Soft pops of blue tones add just the right amount of color, while minimal wall décor allows the eye to rest and enjoy the pleasure of simplicity.

The main floor’s open footprint allows for connection and conversation between the kitchen, dining area, and living space. With continuous flooring in beautiful rustic wood, walls that stretch from one end of the cottage to the other, and carefully scaled furniture, this space is certain to make any guest feel welcome

Upstairs, a vaulted ceiling boasts beautiful exposed beams over a second living area and an office space by a wall of windows that offer picturesque views of the surrounding property—the perfect work-from-home experience. Across the room, the crackling wood stove serves as a nostalgic focal point certain to mesmerize visitors on chilly evenings. For added convenience, a separate powder room sits just off the main part of the loft.

Modern Amenities

A full galley kitchen sits at one end of the cottage, equipped with a full-size range, plenty of prep space, and, of course, a coffee station. Sleek stainless-steel finishes and rich, dark countertops balance the white cabinets and floating shelves. Natural light combines with three modern pendants for a bright corner to cook in.

Finally, a main floor primary suite made good sense to avoid the need to drag heavy suitcases upstairs. In addition, a full bathroom downstairs in this space makes it easy for guests to clean up before dinner after a long afternoon by the pool.

Welcome and Waiting

This cozy space is now ready to welcome family and friends for the perfect backyard getaway. Our clients couldn’t be happier with the results, which promise a new life season filled with loved ones and great memories! Are you ready to see your space reach its full potential?
