The Chrysalis Bathroom - Before & After

8/14/2019

0 Comments

 
One of the most popular stories we've ever posted here on our website or to our Facebook page was last month's story about our Diamond Bath team winning the Chrysalis Award, amongst dozens of other professional remodelers, in 10 other states, for a project less than $50,000.  While we are still overwhelmed by the award, we really felt to honor the definition of "Chrysalis" - a transitional state - we felt it might be helpful to show both the before photos (below) and the new photo gallery page we created to showcase this special bathroom in Cary, Illinois. 

After you review these "Before" photos below, CLICK HERE to be taken to a special unpublished Gallery we've created for this award winning remodeling project!  And when it's time for a remarkable transformation in your home, contact the Diamond Bath team!

Diamond Bath Receives Chrysalis Remodeling Award

7/25/2019

0 Comments

 
Just before Memorial Day weekend, we shared the good news: Diamond Bath Received Three Award Nominations for Professional Remodeling.  Our nominations covered a 10 state region within the United States, and our project submissions were across three different bathroom remodeling budget levels.  Earlier this month we received the good news from the team at Chrysalis Awards: 

Diamond Bath LLC, Remodelers of Crystal Lake, Illinois Won the 2019 Regional Award for Bath Remodels Under $50,000!​

As outlined back in May, we were happy to submit photos from our top projects along with best remodeling companies across 10 states, but to win within the "Under $50,000" category is truly unexpected.  Founder of Diamond Bath, and lifelong resident of McHenry County, Jim Termanas added: 

"Our teams work really hard every day just to make sure Diamond Bth clients are as satisfied as humanly possible, but to be recognized by an outside company, that is considering so many other bathroom projects by other remodeling professionals across 10 states is both truly rewarding and very humbling, at the same time.  We will display this new trophy proudly in our Client Selection Center in Crystal Lake so that our team members see it daily, and our potential customers can ask us about it when they visit!"

Remodeling Radar Report

7/15/2019

0 Comments

Being a professional remodeling company, it's easy to get caught up in the latest color and design trends that might come out of the east or west coasts. Luckily, we spend each work day collaborating with Illinois homeowners who help provide the constant realities of what residents really want.  So when we see an article from Elle Decor, we might be a little cautious about their 15 bathroom "Trends to Keep on Your Radar".  But among the 15, there were a few that we felt were truly strong. 

Here are our Top Three Bathroom Trends from this Elle Decor article:

Stay Bold and Tiny: Number one on their list was all about making big impressions even in small spaces. A few months back we posted this article talking about the boom in half bathrooms we've seen lately (also called powder rooms). While we are certainly a bit biased, we believe this project we completed at the start of the year in Johnsburg is a great combination of both trends, a bold powder room. 

Stay Exposed: We are not suggesting a window in your shower, but we are talking about your pipes. Number four on the Elle list details the trend we've seen in the past 24 months or so. Exposed shower plumbing (as shown below) is ideal for bathrooms that might feature subway tile, or modern marble, or even for those trying to accomplish the spa-like atmosphere that's been so popular in master suites lately. 
​

Stay Neutral: While a suggestion for a neutral color palette might seem to conflict with the "bold" direction suggested above, we believe both trends are feasible.  In  the photo below, our recently completed project in Crystal Lake shows a classic look, that is both modern and timeless.  It's also highly appealing to potential home buyers, should that be something being considered in the future. 

When you are ready to share your design ideas and discuss your dream bathroom, our team is ready to talk! Contact us today or stop by our Client Selection Center in Crystal Lake this week!

Key Questions to Ask Before Bathroom Remodeling

6/7/2019

0 Comments

 
Because a significant portion of our business ebbs and flows with the local real estate market, we tend to keep a close eye on trends identified by local real estate professionals and Realtor.com.  A few days ago we took great interest in this article, posted by Realtor.com, called 9 Crucial Question to Ask Before a Bathroom Remodel Begins. We highly encourage our visitors to review the article so we don't spoil too much in our commentary below. 

As we've seen with articles written by bloggers versus those of us who are active in the bathroom remodeling industry each work day, we find the majority of these questions on the money, but a few left us wondering.  Below, we'll focus on a few questions we feel are "key", if not crucial, to helping shape your bathroom renovation or professional bath remodeling project: 

Do you want a bigger bathroom with fixtures changing locations? This really combines questions #3 and #4 from the Realtor article, but at the core of these two questions we are trying to determine is this a bathroom renovation or a true remodel?  We've dedicated a lot of time and attention to helping people understand the differences between these two options, and even wrote an entire article dedicated to the Remodeling vs Renovation topic, but this is an important question to answer for yourselves before contacting a professional remodeling company. 

Are Universal Design features helpful to those using the bathroom? Maybe it's because we are all aging, but we've started to avoid the term "Age in Place" as much as we're trying to avoid AARP membership requests.  Meanwhile, a commonly accepted phrase in the home design and remodeling industry, "Universal Design" seems to accomplish similar goals without offending those of us a certain age.  Because this has been a common conversation, and explanation, for our team to have with Illinois homeowners, in 2018 we wrote an article on Universal Design that we frequently share to help everyone understand the many advantages of this design trend. 

What's on your new bathroom wishlist? While it's easy for us to talk about great "bells and whistles" like heated floors, rainfall shower heads, double vanities, tiled shower niches, and smart bluetooth shower speaker systems that allow you to listen to your favorite music playlists or podcasts, we also realize that budget is always a concern.  Ideally, it's best for the homeowners to be in agreement on what are the absolute necessities for the new bathroom, and what might be on the "nice to have" wishlist.  Our team can help you put a price to your wishlist items so that your new dream bathroom isn't a nightmare on your budget! 

When you've answered some of these key questions, visit our Diamond Bath Client Selection Center in Crystal Lake, or call us at 815-893-0282 to schedule a free consultation in your home!
