Whether you're considering buying bathroom products on Amazon, or checking restaurant reviews in a new neighborhood, we've all become accustomed to a five star review process. Beyond restaurants stars are used to rate movies, music, and TV shows too. And while our team at Diamond Bath is very transparent about Client reviews getting automatically published as they are posted on this Reviews Page, what does it actually take to achieve just ONE five-star client rating for us?
As you might expect, we can't complete a bathroom remodeling project over the course of weeks and ask one question and presume that we did a great job. Actually, the project management software we've invested in for our client, BuilderTrend, delivers the survey on the part of our entire team. Our current survey asks each client 10 questions about topics that include:
Then we also inquire about steps we can take to make our process even better and whether or not our client would recommend our services to friends and family. Last week we received this glowing survey (photos below) for a project we recently completed in Lake In The Hills, Illinois. While it would be easy for any client to simply mark down five stars and be done, our team genuinely appreciates the time this family took to explain in detail why the Diamond Bath experience was so meaningful to them. We appreciate that level of communication, and if you do as well, be sure to arrange for a call or a virtual bathroom consult with Diamond Bath by clicking here.

While the phrase "the new normal" has certainly been overused in the past two months, this recent virus crisis will certainly impact our future for many years to come. We've already begun to establish new expectations about what it will take to maintain healthy environments in our homes, offices, and schools. And we may even want to make some changes to our own hygiene habits to improve our the health and safety of our families.
Over the weekend we found this news story on Fast Company - The Rebuilders, "We may have to rethink the toilet seat altogether'; How the coronavirus could change bathrooms for the better". We discovered a few new trends that local Illinois home and business owners may want to give some thought to when considering new bathroom designs for 2020 and beyond: 1. Toilet Seat Lids: The article above goes into some scary details about the "plumes" of bacteria that happen with each toilet flush. While it's common to find toilet seat lids in most residential bathrooms, are they being utilized consistently to reduce viral contamination? Will commercial bathroom facilities begin to upgrade to provide more effective means to prevent the effects of these plumes? Expect to see improvements in commercial bathroom facilities in the future to reduce contamination. 2. Splash Reduced Sinks: According to our partners at American Standard, they are anticipating an increase in sales of deeper bathroom sinks with steeper basin walls. You will commonly see these used in medical facilities and surgical centers where essential workers scrub-up before procedures. The deeper well most ensure that water doesn't splash back or create bacteria puddles on surrounding surfaces. 3. Copper and Silver: One of the surprising aspects of the COVID-19 virus is the discovery that it can survive on a smooth surface, like stainless steel, for up to three days. As a result of these recent findings, we expect that our residential and commercial customers will begin to explore other more naturally antimicrobial materials. According to many studies going back 100 years or more, copper represents once of the best antimicrobial surfaces for those highly concerned with the most hygienic surfaces. If you would like to discuss your new bathroom requirements utilizing our Virtual Consult systems, please click here to schedule your first online session! This week we sent an email to all of our active Clients outlining details about how our team is handling new demands and legal expectations regarding this global virus crisis. While our daily communications with the clients who have active projects with us have been frequent, we felt posting an article here might help those of you considering Diamond Bath for your professional remodeling needs in the future. All of our Diamond Bath team members have been asked to immediately share ANY signs or symptoms related to the flu of any kind. Further, any interactions with people who've traveled outside our country in the past few weeks will be reported internally as well. Finally, we've taken many new steps inside our Client Selection Center in Crystal Lake to create a truly helpful and yet super sanitary environment for all showroom visitors, including scheduling appointments prior to your visit. For Diamond Bath clients with projects scheduled in the coming weeks and months, PLEASE be aware: 1. Our install teams are critical to the on-going success of our business! If you or any members of your family have been ill in the past several weeks or have symptoms that are related to the Coronavirus, PLEASE contact us before your project starts! Our schedule for the months to come are very busy but we WILL be able to adjust projects and return to your home when it's a more safe environment for all. If any of your family members become ill during the course of your project, please inform us as soon as symptoms are discovered. Do not wait for testing or diagnosis before informing someone from our company. 2. While we continue to take project deadlines for timely delivery very seriously, during these new few months we must make absolutely certain that all Diamond Bath team members can be transparent about any illnesses they feel without financial or employment repercussions. They may mean a project expected to take three weeks may take four, or more, but we kindly ask for your patience during this highly unusual time. 3. If you, or any member of your family, has serious allergy issues, PLEASE let us know. Each of our three install teams are equipped with portable HEPA Air Scrubber filtration systems that do an incredible job at removing construction dust, drywall, pollen, mold and other debris from the air. We realize that allergy symptoms are sometimes confused with flu symptoms, and we will do all we can to prevent both from affecting your family members. The Diamond Bath objective is to do all we can within our power to safely and quickly complete all projects in the months to come, and we'll be absolutely candid with each client about any potential concerns. If you are not feeling well at any point during your bathroom remodeling project, please inform any of our team members. Working collaboratively with our clients, and being transparent about any concerns will help us all get through these challenging times!
