3. What are the best bathroom remodeling options for my home?

- Freestanding bathtubs: These are a stylish, modern option that adds a luxurious touch.
- Floating vanities: These create a sense of space by allowing the floor to be visible beneath the vanity, making the room feel larger.
- Custom tiling: Unique tile patterns or large-format tiles can transform the look of your bathroom.
- Storage design: Creative storage solutions such as built-in shelves or medicine cabinets with mirrors can help reduce clutter.
4. How long does a typical kitchen or bathroom remodel take?

- Bathroom design: A bathroom remodel design typically takes 3-5 weeks, depending on the design and layout.
*The actual installation time will depend on your contractor, but we ensure that the design process is smooth and well-planned to facilitate a seamless transition to installation.
5. What is the average cost of a kitchen remodel?

- Mid-range designs: $15,000 to $40,000 (upgrades in materials, appliances, and layout, while maintaining some existing elements).
