Spa-Like Water for Your Spa-Like Bathroom?

While it's easy for us, as professional bathroom remodelers, to get caught up in the "Spa-Like" bathroom remodeling trend that's hitting Illinois and the entire nation, it is also easy for us to forget about the actual spa-like experience.  Yes, we can install dimmers on your new bathroom light fixtures to get the mood just right, and bluetooth speakers that will play perfectly soothing music upon your verbal command, and even digital thermostat controls for your heated floors and towel warmer - BUT if your beautiful, new 10" rainfall shower head is hitting your head with the same hard water that you've tolerated for years, will that dampen your "spa-like" experience?  Having lived in Northern Illinois for our entire lives, we know that hard water is a reality for most homeowners. If your current bathtub has a permanent ring, or if your fresh laundry is looking a bit dingy, or your clean dishes consistently have spots, you very likely have hard water.  When traveling, if you notice that the water feels different than home and your same hair shampoo lathers more easily, you probably have hard water.  While we are NOT specialists in water softening systems, there are some handy online buying guides for water softeners, and obviously we know a few licensed plumbers who can help with the installation of a system that can will quickly improve all the areas of your life that water touches.  And of course, once you've got that spa-like water flowing in your home, you know who to contact to truly make your new master bathroom spa-like as well!
