In relation to a house, a sundeck can be defined as- ‘an elevated terace or balcony positioned around the house, generally used as recreational space and an area where you can sit, relax and enjoy the sun’. Decks are usually not at ground level and are primarily made of wood or a composite wood material or vinyl, like Trex. Majority of homeowners request for wooden decks and it is the most common material that is used. Popular woods for decking include redwood, cedar and pressure treated pine. We hand select the wood once the homeowner has decided the kind. Then each piece of wood is scrutinized to make sure that it looks like the adjacent pieces of wood during the construction process. We also match the grain wherein we can cut multiple boards/planks from one very large panel of wood. This allows for the grain of wood to continue through entire area of the deck to create a precise look. Toners are used to ensure a finish that is more beautiful, flawless and durable than any other finish. Decks can be attached to a house or freestanding. Decks often are built to take advantage of a view. Decks can be constructed in different levels and might need railings. Certain types of wood and composite decking are resistant to insects. Unlioke natural wood, composite and vinyl decks don’t splinter and usually don’t warp. However, if properly cared for, wooden decks offer a beauty and warmth unlike any other material. You can streatch out on a wooden deck without a cushion and still be very comfortable. One might include an outdoor kitchen in the deck usually a barbeque or grill. Decks can have temporary covers or a fixed pergola can be built over either for shade or privacy. Homeowners can request for a fire pits, although a fire feature placed on a deck will need a fireproof material separating it from the wooden deck, such as concrete, ceramic, porcelain etc. A deck can also be constructed to surround a pool or a spa. The number of homeowners who are inclined in getting a sundeck is constantly growing as it adds monetary value to any property and visually enhances the house to a great extent.

A kitchen re-modeling might require a new layout of the complete area and the lighting fixtures. It may require some newer equipment along with the existing array which will make a big difference in your cooking experience. The kitchen requires precise geometry in which the equipment are placed around the person who is in charge of cooking. Kitchen layout is prepared ergonomically so that the chef doesn’t require moving around the entire area of the kitchen and all the necessary equipment and tools are really at hand while he/she can concentrate solely in the cooking. Any re-modeling work ranges from simple cosmetic changes like décor, color, ambience and lighting to major changes like the installation of a new updated oven/grill. It changes the way in which a homeowner views his house and exponentially increases the value of the property. It gives a complete new character to the house. It allows the homeowners to personalize their home according to their tastes and preferences. It marks your signature on the house.

Bathroom re-modeling consists of more detailed and intricate work keeping in mind the practicality and ease of use than simply replacing the various fittings, fixtures, cabinets, holders etc of your bathroom. It requires complete redesign of the layout of your bathroom according to your convenience. In short it is a process which will totally change your experience from the moment you step into your bathroom. Re-modeling typically involves a complete fresh and updated design layout of the area which includes change in color, curtains, ambience, equipment, flooring etc. The intricate details would usually require the fitment of existing fixtures or might involve a newer major feature like a whirlpool, sauna, 360 degree shower and many more in the bathroom.

The most important thing to remember while re-modeling is to know what you want out of it. This will make the budget for the project as it can range from affordable to outrageous. This will define who you are.

Renovations on the other hand are completely different from remodeling. Renovation means updating the existing site as per the newer requirements of the customer or as per law. It ranges from periodic restorations of the property to adding a new section. An addition in the existing property usually involves wood/concrete constructions, new cabinets, doors and windows installations, new electrical layouts and plumbing updates. We at ‘Kevin Kahl Construction’ specialize in taking these matters with stride. Our services are just a phone call away from our customers.

“In Budget, On Time. Everytime”.

The words “remodel” and “renovate” are often used interchangeably. However for us at ‘Kevin Kahl Constructions’ as a design and build professional company, both these terms means two very different things. A remodel involves changing the use of space. When the structure and style of a space is completely transformed, this is considered a remodel. If you want to change the layout of the room and re-configure the floor plan, you are remodeling. In a kitchen remodel, for instance, you may decide to combine the kitchen with the living room to create an open concept kitchen layout. You may also decide to install a kitchen island to create more functional space for cooking. Whatever it is, remodeling breathes new life into the room giving the space a whole new look and feel. So you see, “Remodel” basically means to alter the structure of an existing room/space.

Renovations on the other hand are completely different as it is generally done on a larger scale than remodeling. Renovation means updating the existing site as per the newer requirements of the customer or as per law. It ranges from periodic restorations of the property to adding a new section. An addition in the existing property usually involves wood/concrete constructions, new cabinets, doors and windows installations, new electrical layouts and plumbing updates. As you see, “Renovate” means to restore to good condition and to make it new again. In the world of home construction this includes re-construction, re-painting, re-facing cabinets, re-wiring, installing new light fixtures, other finishes and much more. The original design in not altered drastically but it is updated to a new standard. Renovating you house makes the space more attractive. It also substantially increases the value of the property or condo. Because renovating involves complex design considerations as well as construction, electric and plumbing changes or modifications, it typically costs similar or more than remodeling. It is important to consult as experienced design build contractor or an architect before you begin a renovation project. As you start thinking about a renovation, you will quickly notice how many companies there are seeking your business. Do you want a simple refinish or a complete reface? Do you want to keep the construction as it is or you want to make an extension? These are the factors which are to be kept in mind while starting a renovation project. This will make the budget for the project as it can range from affordable to outrageous. Sometimes it might require a new blueprint to be made to make the necessary changes to the already constructed house. This is a very technical aspect as it is related to the integrity and rigidity of the existing structure. Renovations involve newer electrical laying and changes as well as modifications to the existing plumbing system. Homeowners might not think to consult an expert while doing so but it is strongly advised to hire a professional. As it is said, ‘a stitch in time saves nine’.
