The Summer humidity is here and the heat is on the way.  The humidity many days, can be more oppressive than the heat.  Perhaps it’s time to stop juggling window unit installation and consider adding central air conditioning to your home.  Whether you have a forced warm air system, with the ductwork already in place or not, there is a solution to your problem.  Ductless or Split systems are increasing in popularity for adding A/C to existing homes or businesses, where there is no ductwork present and no available space for a conventional system.  The split systems are more energy efficient and work well in cooling rooms individually; as each wall unit is its’ own zone.  This allows you to save electricity by cooling the rooms of your home as you wish, without having to cool the whole house.

With the cold winter months upon us here in New England, what better time of year than now to start a bathroom remodel project.  The weather is cold and there is not much to be done outside, and when summer rolls around you will not want to be stuck inside.  So, if you have a bathroom that is in need of a makeover, take a look at the top 10 list below of things you can do to make you bathroom better.

1. New Floor – Are you sick of your bathroom flooring?  Why not upgrade to tile, marble, travertine or slate.  if your bathroom has laminate or vinyl flooring now, an upgraded floor in your bathroom can make a big impact.

2. Heated Floor – Nothing is better than stepping out of the shower on a cold winter day onto a heated bathroom floor.  Radiant heat is how this is done and the benefits are great.

3. Dual Shower Heads – Are you tired of freezing your fanny off while taking a shower?  Adding a second shower head will keep you warm, and will make your shower feel your in a waterfall.

4.  Taller Vanity – Just like you have grown over the years, so have vanities.  Talk to Briggs about what new vanities are available today and enjoy brushing your teeth without having to bend way over.

5. Taller Toilet – Just like the taller vanity above, there are taller toilets that make using the bathroom for enjoyable as well.  Talk with Briggs about what toilet is right for you.

6. Bead board – If you are looking for a more Cape Cod, country cottage look to your bathroom, adding bead board is a great option. There are several different ways you can install bead board in your bathroom, Briggs can help you decide what way is best.

7. Pocket Door – Adding a pocket door to your bathroom is a great way to save space.

8. Tiled Shower – Get rid of your fiberglass tub/shower and replace it with a beautifully tiled shower.

9. In Wall Cabinets – Why not use that space in your walls and install a cabinet that will give you more space in your bathroom while also looking great.

10.  Fresh Paint – giving your bathroom a fresh coat of paint is a nice way to update and freshen up your bathroom.
