    Forty Fort, PA (PRWEB) October 26, 2012

    Home shows are a great way for homeowners to get ideas and information about remodeling their homes. Brian McCarthy, owner and manager of the Lehigh Valley part of ReBath Northeast, thinks that having displays at home shows can be invaluable to his company and to homeowners.

    Finnleo and Amerec See Trend to Include Both Sauna and Steam in Bathroom Remodels - November 2, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Finnleo and Amerec, divisions of TyloHelo Inc., have noted an increase in the number of bathroom remodeling projects that include both a sauna and a steam shower.

    Cokato, MN (PRWEB) October 28, 2012

    Saunas and steam showers are complimentary design elements in a bathroom. A shower adjacent to the sauna is ideal as one showers to cool off between sauna innings or at the completion of the sauna time. Steam is an easy-to-add shower enhancement without requiring any additional floor space. Since a steam generator can be tucked into a nearby cabinet or mechanical room and does not intrude upon shower space, a standard shower can be easily converted to a steam shower, allowing the home owner to enjoy the benefits of sauna AND steam.

    Health benefits of sauna and steam include:

    When asked why both a sauna and steam room is desired, many clients said they prefer a steam shower as a start-the-day-perk-me-up while the sauna is preferred after a workout and for relaxation. Others said a spouse prefers one and he or she prefers the other. Because little space is required for the installation of the steam generator and the shower functions normally when the steam generator is not in use, it is an efficient use of space and is a cost effective way to increase amenities offered in the home.

    To learn more about saunas or steam rooms, visit http://www.finnleo.com (saunas) or http://www.amerec.com (steam).

    Accessible Bath Solutions of Appleton Helps Disabled Residents Stay Safe in Their Homes through Handicap Bathroom … - November 2, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    A friends tragic accident inspired one Wisconsin resident to launch an accessible bathroom remodeling based business to help elderly and disabled Wisconsin residents stay safe in their homes. Accessible Bath Solutions recently announced the addition of the Simplicity Wheelchair Lift Ramp which has proven to be an affordable, yet functional unique ramp unlike any other on the market.

    Appleton, WI (PRWEB) October 24, 2012

    With the help of family and friends, along with Accessible Bath Solutions LLC owner, Ben Ritchie, the mans home was adapted and modified to fit his needs so he could continue to live in his home. After undergoing the rewarding experience of helping a friend in need, Ben Ritchie founded Accessible Bath Solutions LLC, a certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS), in an effort to help other disabled and elderly individuals stay safe in their homes.

    With a background in the building trade, Ben Ritchies years of plumbing experience allowed his plumbing service in Appleton to specialize in accessible bathroom remodel services such as walk-in bathtubs, accessible showers, tub cuts, roll under countertops and widened doorways to help an individual get around more freely. Other home updates can include modifying the height of toilets and counters, grab bars, transfer benches and wheelchair ramps.

    Accessible Bath Solutions LLC recently announced the addition of the Simplicity Wheelchair Lift Ramp to its already diverse product portfolio. Owner Ben Ritchie stated, We are excited to be able to offer yet another solution to provide individuals independence in and out of their homes. There is nothing else like this product on the market.

    The idea for this unique wheelchair ramp originated in the garage at the home of Richard and Laurie Raab, whose daughter, Jackie, has been confined to a wheelchair since childhood. Born with cerebral palsy, Jackie often faced access issues. As a working adult and living at home, Jackie's independence was restricted by her inability to have safe access in and out of her home.

    After much research for affordable, functional access equipment needed by Jackie, it was evident that nothing existed in the current market place that would allow her and individuals like her, to independently and safely enter and exit her home.

    Richard visualized a four-by-eight foot sheet of plywood anchored at the door sill and a mechanism that would raise the opposite end up until the plywood was parallel to the door sill. Richard then partnered with Dennis Hase, a mechanical design engineering specialist, to develop this concept and bring this unique product to reality.

    In June of 1995, the first prototype unit was completed. Jackie began using the unit that same year and continues to use the same unit today. With Jackie's day-to-day utilization of the lift, improvements were made to make the unit more user friendly and the second generation design was completed in 1998. This unit received the Wisconsin Governor's New Product Award that same year.

    The lift ramp was test marketed at the 1998 Atlanta Medtrade Show and received outstanding dealer acceptance. The wooden wheelchair ramp leaves the user with an access tool that is ill designed and demonstrates poor functionality, while consuming valuable yard or storage space and offers no mechanical assistance to navigate.

    Bath sinks: twice as nice - October 13, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Plumber

    Q: We have a classic 1950s ranch with one big pink bathroom that we are remodeling next year. We have a very long countertop with only one small sink and a medicine cabinet. When we install the new countertop, can we add a second sink and a medicine cabinet since we have all that extra space? Is this a bad idea since it is the only bathroom in the house? It seems to us that double sinks are a master-bedroom kind of thing.

    Laura, Rhode Island

    A: I say that whenever you can use a homes existing plumbing system to your advantage, go for it.

    The good news is that you should already have the sink water and drain lines right there under the countertop.

    So if your existing plumbing is in good shape, a licensed plumber should be able to twin in a second lav sink. Ive done jobs like this. As long as the second sink can be installed according to local codes, it can be a very nice addition to any bathroom.

    Now about the practicality of double sinks in the only bathroom in the house.

    Well, Ive lost count of the number of times Ive used my living-area bathroom, only to find some laundry soaking in the single sink for that bathroom.

    Bottom line: Adding a second bathroom sink can be a good investment for you, and going from single to double hopefully should be no trouble.

    ReBath of Albany to Display Walk-in Shower at ‘The Gazette's Baby Boomer Expo, Celebrating Life After 50 Plus’ - October 4, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    ReBath of Albany will be offering special discounts to potential customers, who visit their exhibit at The Gazette's Baby Boomer Expo, Celebrating Life after 50 plus, which will be held Oct. 7 at the Saratoga Springs City Center. The Expo begins at noon and runs through 6 p.m. Admission is free.

    Clifton Park, NY (PRWEB) October 04, 2012

    Throughout his many years of remodeling bathrooms and homes, ReBath of Albany owner Frank Rafalik learned that people over the age of 50 often begin to worry about not being able to safely get in and out of their tub. It is because of his customers fears that he wants to help people feel confident and secure in their own homes.

    We know that people start to worry about falling in the bathroom once they reach that 50 plus mark, Rafalik said. That is why we bring our walk-in shower display to the 50 plus expos. Walk-in showers are much safer and easier to step into and they help homeowners feel more confident about bathing on their own.

    ReBath of Albany will have a walk-in shower on display for customers to see and touch. The display is made from the same DuraBath SSP acrylic that they use in customers bathrooms so people at the Expo can see what their product really looks like. Though there will be only one of their beautiful colors on display, ReBath of Albany offers so many colors and styles, the possibilities are endless.

    Many people may worry that having their old tub and walls removed to have a walk-in shower installed is a huge project that they dont want to get involved in. For homeowners with this concern, ReBath of Albany is the perfect solution.

    The professional installers at ReBath of Albany are able to remove an old tub and wall system and install a brand new walk-in shower in just one day. Since the installers specialize in bathroom remodeling, they know how to get the job done on budget and on time.

    Knowledgeable ReBath of Albany associates will be managing the booth at the Expo and will be able to answer all customer questions. Any customers who want to set up their free in-home estimate can give their information to any ReBath of Albany staff member and receive a coupon for money off their contracted price.

    Though being able to see a ReBath of Albany bathroom in person is a great reason to attend the Expo, there are other exciting booths and events to see.

    The first 500 people who attend the expo will receive coupons and gifts compliments of the New York lottery. Other exciting events include: Tribute artist performances by Donny Elvis and All Paul Show and a price raffle for a Norwegian cruise for two and a 51 plasma TV.

    Remodeling without demolishing the budget - September 28, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Kitchen and bathroom renovations top the list of improvements for increasing the value of a home. But this labor-intensive remodeling can get expensive. Even without changing room layouts, the simple job of replacing finishes and fixtures can cost more than the price of a new car.

    What builders call "pull-and-replace" remodeling can run $12,000 to $22,000 for the average 5-by-7-foot bathroom and $29,000 to $52,000 for a 12-by-12-foot kitchen, estimates Rick Matus of Case Design/Remodeling Inc. in Bethesda, Md. "As soon as you start moving plumbing, electrical wiring, and walls," he says, "the costs go up substantially from there."

    Budget-minded homeowners are finding cheaper solutions in the $10,000-$20,000 range by making do with existing appliances and fixtures, refinishing kitchen cabinets, and shopping for bargains. Suppliers and builders, in turn, are responding to the recession-driven demand for cost-conscious kitchen and bath remodeling with package deals aimed at guaranteeing the costs of materials and labor.

    "At first, there was no way I was going to spend $18,000 to $25,000 to remodel a bathroom," says homeowner Hannah Laufe, a lawyer in Vienna, Va. "But to get what we wanted, my research showed that was the amount we needed to spend."

    Laufe and husband Richard Miller, a teacher, decided to renovate the outdated and worn master bathroom in their 1960s rambler. "Everything was pink, the medicine cabinet was rusty," Laufe says, "and the faucets didn't work as well as they should."

    The couple tapped Case to remodel the space based on the firm's new renovation program, called the 2012 Bath Collection, launched in January. For $13,000 to $25,000, the company will demolish an existing space, remove lead paint if necessary, and install backer board and tile. New plumbing fixtures, vanity, towel bars, lighting, and painting are included in the price. "It saves the headache of shopping different sources," Matus says. He says Case is now considering similar package deals for kitchens.

    Laufe and Miller had a choice of designs in contemporary, traditional, and transitional styles, but within a narrow range of products. They chose a stained maple vanity with a granite countertop, a glass door for the shower, and marble-look-alike porcelain tile on the floor and shower stall, spending about $20,000 on the project. "It took less than two weeks to complete," Laufe says.

    Management consultant Cope Willis and wife Sophie, who works for an educational-software company, spent about $9,000 to partially remodel their pink bathroom. They kept the existing toilet and pedestal sink, and hired a local handyman to install a new bathtub and finishes. "We worked within the existing constraints of the bathroom," Cope Willis says, "to keep costs down."

    New subway-style tile around the tub, marble tiles on the floor, and beadboard wainscoting create what Willis calls "a clean, traditional look" in keeping with the architectural character of the couple's 1938 Colonial in Washington.

    Most of the renovation dollars were spent on the installation - about $6,000. Budgeting that amount is realistic, according to several experts, who say labor accounts for 60 to 70 percent of bathroom-remodeling costs.

    Gazette.Net: Celebrate all workers during Labor Day - August 29, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Just the other day I was listening to the radio and I heard a commercial for a bathroom remodeling service that says they are passionate about bathroom remodeling. We live and breathe this stuff, the fervent voice proclaimed.

    For a fleeting moment, I had a vision of bathroom remodelers joyously breathing in plaster dust as they replaced old rotting drywall with fresh new green board. And I asked myself, Who, for crying out loud, is passionate about bathroom remodeling? A person might be passionate about playing Rachmaninoff on the violin, or about windsurfing, or about collecting 19-century pre-Raphaelite prints but bathroom remodeling?

    Then I thought again. In fact, I think there are many people who are deeply committed, even passionate, about the simple and ordinary work they do in the world. Teaching students how to use punctuation correctly so their writing makes more sense. Fixing broken cars so people can get where they need to go. Maintaining lawns and gardens so people get more enjoyment from their home landscaping. Repairing computers so people can do all the things people do on computers. Taking care of kids ones own or other peoples so they grow up to be decent and responsible human beings.

    We all love to read stories about people whose work is glamorous, exciting, challenging or unusual, and many of us feel envious of them. But in reality, most of the work of the world is rather humdrum and unglamorous but still important. Having had a bathroom remodeled in my house, I know how much more pleasant life is without the moldy, old caulking, the rusty fixtures, the crumbling plaster, the rotting woodwork.

    So thanks to that bathroom remodeling company for being passionate about its work, and thanks to everyone else who is passionate about theirs.

    Savage Community Association meeting

    Because of the Labor Day holiday, the Savage Community Association will meet on Tuesday, Sept. 4, instead of Monday. The usual meeting day is the first Monday of the month. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the Carroll Baldwin Hall, 9035 Baltimore St., in Savage. All residents of Savage and nearby areas are welcome to attend. The group will be planning its upcoming fall food drive and other community activities.
