High tech remodeling

WebsiteThe fastest growing segment of our business it low voltage and technology.  The possibilities for lighting and media are almost limitless.  With the wifi revolution, most people have a home network to tie into.  The home network allows us to manipulate lighting, music, and media for a single point source such as a smart phone or I-pad.

Know your cabinets

Reface vs New cabinets

Our clients often as us to reface their existing cabinets.  The idea is that cabinet boxes are all the same, so just make the outside look better.  It's important to know that all cabinets are not made the same. 

Particle board cheap, budget construction, and poor manufacturing are common place in production cabinets.  By the time you upgrade hardware, doors, and trim you might as well start from scratch and get what you really want, a quality piece of custom furniture.

2012 forecast

With the economy slowly turning, many home owners are opting to remodel vs relocate.  Money spent in home improvement is not lost as the value of the home goes up with each renovation.  This is a great website to show what you can expect realize in increased value with any remodel.

What I like about this website is that it breaks down data by region and city.  Here are the data for Portland Oregon.

Tile success

Important Keys to a Successful Tile Project

• There are way too many handy persons out there that claim to be tile experts. The truth is there are very few people that are true tile craftsmen. They understand the importance of every aspect and are able to pre-plan the and anticipate the challenges of each individual project.

It is this pre-planning that separates a handy person from a true tile craftsman. Knowing the possible pitfalls and taking preventative actions are what make long lasting beautiful tile projects.

A well planned tile project creates lasting beauty, functionality, and lasting durability in equal proportions.

Design:

• Design is one thing that sets a good tile job apart from a great tile project. Hiring a company that offers design services will save in the long run by eliminating confusion and saving time during install.

Most people have an idea of what they would like but a designer can add beauty and functionality that clients do not think of. A designer will consider lighting, color, and texture that fits the overall scheme a project. A good designer will also offer several different ideas and bring focus to a project.

A good designer will add the flare that separates on project from another.

• The most important thing to know is what will be below the tile. On a floor it’s important that there is no flex in the existing floor or tiles will crack and break loose. If there is not enough support in existing framing and floor then additional support will need to be added.

We have all seen projects were the floor surfaces don’t match up well to existing floors. We have also all noticed poor tile installs by the grout lines, un-level tiles, bad cuts, or just visually unappealing. Proper design and planning helps eliminate all problems.

• Another thing that needs to be carefully considered is layout. Where should the tiles start? How should the tiles fit within doorways, in front of stairs, tubs, showers, or top to bottom on walls. Layout is what you don’t notice if done properly. Improper layout is what you can’t help but notice.

At C&K Construction and Remodeling in Portland, we take tile very seriously.
