Bathroom Remodeling Ideas

Bathroom Remodeling Ideas. So, you’ve decided that it’s time to remodel your bathroom?  There is always going to be a certain amount of planning that goes into remodeling a bathroom.  Here, we are going to give you a few tips for making your bathroom a functional, stylish room, and something that will meet your price range.  Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling has skilled, experienced staff to call on for all your bathroom remodeling project needs.

Bathroom Remodeling Ideas

Bathroom Remodeling Ideas

First, let’s talk floors.  If you are looking for a floor that is easy to sweep and mop; porcelain or glazed tiles are going to be perfect for you.  You want to avoid porous stones (such as limestone).  They tend to absorb drips and will become stained over time.  For non-slip floors, you will want to choose tiles with textured surfaces, matte finishes, or sand-containing glazes.

When using caulk make sure to go for an acrylic or hybrid formula.  This way you can remove it without using harsh chemicals.  Since caulk that contains mildewcide offers more long-term protection.  Wiring is another thing you will want to change at the time of remodel.  After long periods of time the wiring in your bathroom has been used and abused by endless hours of; curling irons, blow dryers, electric toothbrushes, and any other household appliance that we use on a daily basis.  Swapping the GFCI outlets isn’t enough.  Change the wiring with a 20 AMP circuit and make sure to install plenty of outlets.

Now let’s discuss style and trends.  Storage space is always a great thing to keep in mind when planning a remodel.  One of the most utilizing bathroom sinks will be a vanity with sink.  While it takes up the most room, it has a great look and is great for storage.  Therefore, an average bathroom vanity has about 15 cubic feet of storage.  It normally has 10 inches of countertop on each side.  Make sure to leave enough space to open the cabinet doors and drawers.  Then there is the vessel sink.  The sink bowl sits on top of the counter with this sink.  The workspace is smaller than that of a vanity sink.  It is also tougher to keep clean.

Here’s a little cheat-sheet for you when choosing a countertop.  Natural stone would be best for the homeowners that vigorously take care of their high-end bathrooms.  Granite is highly stain and scratch resistant. It also looks beautiful and classy.  While these can be a bit pricier, you’ll get more for your buck.  Marble and limestone must be sealed regularly (due to their porous surfaces).  Abrasive surfaces can show water marks.

Let Gainesville Restoration and Remodeling put your mind at ease and help keep your family safe. Our expert, licensed team can be reached at our Gainesville office at; (352) 372-1221 or our Ocala office at (352) 622-5277. You can also send us an email with any concerns.

Mold Detection and Remediation

Mold Detection and Remediation. Mold growth in your home or business is a problem that requires immediate attention and correction. Without proper removal, mold can spread throughout your home. Mold can lead to serious health problems if not properly removed.

Mold Detection and Remediation

Mold Detection and Remediation

Since mold can grow anywhere there is adequate moisture or a water problem. Excess moisture causes mold to grow on building materials and furnishings eventually damaging them. Once established, mold can be very invasive and dangerous. 

Mold can look like stains, discoloration, or a fuzzy growth. Therefore, it is most likely to grow in damp places such as kitchens, laundry rooms, basements, bathrooms and crawl spaces; because this is where the spores find the ideal conditions to grow. 

High cellulose surfaces such as fiberboard, drywall, paper, and paneling; when exposed to excess moisture, are prone to Black Mold growth. You should pay special attention to dark green or black stains; as this is the most toxic type of mold which can cause respiratory problems. Also, Black Mold should only be removed by a reputable licensed mold contractor as soon as noticed.

Furthermore, slow leaks behind walls also result in mold growth but it is not readily visible. So, even if you don’t see any evident signs of mold growth, worsening of allergy symptoms, health problems; a musty or earthy smell could all be signs of mold growth in your home. 

If you are concerned about the possibility of its presence in your house or have actual evidence of mold growth; call one of our Certified Technicians to schedule a mold inspection.  You can reach Gainesville Restoration at (352) 372-1221 or Ocala Restoration at (352) 622-5277 for 24-hour emergency service.

Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips. Most people tend to think of air pollution as something that only happens outside; smog, ozone, or haze hanging in the air, especially as the weather gets warmer. But the truth is, the air inside your home may be even more polluted than the air outside. So, be sure to protect yourself from allergens and pollutants and mold using these tips.

Clean Sweep
It can be easy to ignore chores, but it’s important to clean your home regularly to reduce allergens and irritants. A thorough dusting with a damp cloth instead of a feather duster; is a great way to keep your air clean. But don’t forget to suck it up, mop it up, and keep it out! Vacuuming and then mopping will get rid of any particles that are lingering on your floors. In addition,  leaving a large floor mat at every door will reduce the amount of pesticides and other pollutants; that come in via the dirt on your shoes.

Mold

Most Floridians have experience dealing with mold. Since mold loves warm, damp environments, and that pretty much sums up Florida’s weather. But don’t let your home be a mold victim because most mold is preventable. So, be sure to follow these easy steps to avoiding hazardous growths in your home.

Breathe Easy Air Quality Tips

Be Proactive

If condensation is collecting around window sills, walls or pipes, dry it quickly. Increasing ventilation and air movement in moist rooms is the best way to prevent mold growth. Because in most cases, if a damp area is dried within 48 hours of a leak or spill; mold will not grow. Turn on a fan or open a window while or immediately after; showering, cooking, and dishwashing will also help prevent mold growth.
