Summer is the Ideal Time For Kitchen Remodeling

May 12th, 2010

There are perfect times of year and some not-so-perfect times of year to take on certain remodeling projects; some projects are done in certain seasons for practical reasons: for instance, if given a choice most roofing jobs and room additions are done during the summer months due to weather concerns. In other cases, contractor availability becomes an issue during particularly busy times of year: it’s hard to get an air conditioner installed in August, for example!

When it comes to taking on Utah kitchen remodeling projects, summer is actually an ideal time! Most homeowners are more concerned with taking care of exterior jobs such as landscaping, roofing, painting, re-siding, and so forth. Because family vacations, many folks don’t want to have contractors working inside the house. This and the mad rush to get the house ready for the holidays are the main reasons why fall is considered busy season for kitchen remodeling contractors: not summer. So if you are ready to update your kitchen as soon as possible, why not beat the rush and have your new Utah countertops or total redesign done right now? Here are some reasons (both serious and not-so-serious) why summer is the ideal time for kitchen remodeling:

•    The price of materials is lower during periods of less demand
•    Contractors from Bedrock Quartz are ready to help as soon as you are
•    You can grill outside for all your cooking needs during remodeling
•    And al fresco picnics are always a hit!
•    Because who wants to cook in the summer time anyway?
•    You have another excuse to kick the kids out to go play so they’re never in the way
•    By the time you’re ready to cook indoors in the fall, you’ll have a new kitchen!

All kidding aside, summer really is the ideal time to take on your Utah kitchen remodeling project once and for all. Bedrock Quartz is a premier provider of high quality granite and other materials for Utah countertops and their professionals have the experience and know-how to take your project from beginning to end and create the kitchen you’ve always dreamed of: in any season!

You don’t have to spend one more growing season struggling with dried up yards, shriveled vegetables, or tedious hand-watering! Make installing an automatic sprinkler system part of your home improvement plans for the summer.

Granite is Grand: But Other Options Abound

April 21st, 2010

There’s no doubt about it: granite countertops ruled the last decade; and why not? Granite is tough and durable, yet it adds an instant touch of elegance to any size kitchen. Although granite sets the standard for natural stone kitchen countertops, it is by no means the only attractive option for those who want to give their home a new look for spring. Here is a quick look at some of the other natural stone options offered by Bedrock Quartz that will liven up your kitchen or bathroom this season.

Marble countertops: Marble is the undisputed “grande dame” of all building materials and has been an indispensable part of many elegant homes for centuries. When people think of marble, creamy neutral shades often come to mind: but this versatile stone also comes in beautiful hues of yellow, orange, green, and black. Renowned for its dramatic veining, it doesn’t come cheap: but enthusiasts think marble is well worth the price. Because it is a high maintenance surface, most homeowners choose to put it in the bathroom. However, for those who can afford it for their kitchens, marble will last longer than any other surface.

Slate countertops: Slate makes a bold statement in a kitchen that is quite unlike any other. It comes in a variety of dramatic colors; its veining is similar to marble but the advantage of slate is that it is much less porous and therefore less vulnerable to staining: it’s also a more affordable choice than marble for kitchen countertops.

Quartz countertops: Comprised of 93% natural stone, quartz-surfaced countertops are relatively carefree yet they offer incredible beauty to any home surface. This type of countertop is stain, crack, chemical, and heat-resistant so it can stand up to just about anything a rambunctious family or avid chef can impose. It has a more uniform look than granite which many consumers prefer and the cost of quartz is equivalent to or even less than granite.

Aren’t you tired of those worn out old laminate countertops yet? Spring is a perfect time to bring a breath of fresh air into your kitchen with beautiful and durable natural stone countertops.

A New Look For Spring: Salt Lake Kitchen Remodel Tips

February 25th, 2010

The signs of spring are unmistakable: the snow begins to melt, robins start to poke around the yard, and the air smells fresher and cleaner. With warmer weather just around the corner, now is the perfect time to take on that Salt Lake kitchen remodel you’ve been dreaming about all winter. Remodeling a kitchen is one of the best values in home improvement: after all, it is the nerve center of every Utah home and the one room in the house that gets near-constant use. Here are some Salt Lake kitchen remodel tips for spring that will help you get the work and living center you’ve always wanted.

Tip #1: Countertops

If you only remodel one part of your kitchen this spring, make it the countertops. Everything happens on these kitchen surfaces: from food preparation to storage to kids’ homework; and you want to have countertops that are as durable under all this use as they are beautiful. When it comes to Utah countertops, natural stone continues to rule the industry: homeowners love the look and the strength of the different varieties of these materials, and they add instant class to any style home. So for best value and return on your investment, go with granite, marble, travertine, soapstone, or limestone; and insist on natural-honed products, not factory-made or fired.

Tip #2: Create More Work Space

As long as you’re redoing your countertops, you may want to consider adding more work space. Island work stations continue to be a popular part of any Salt Lake kitchen remodel, but they are more multi-functional than ever. Instead of just installing a plain countertop, consider including a sink or cooking surface for greater ease in food preparation. Of course, depending on the size of your space, you’ll also be able to add more square footage of natural stone surfaces to use for kneading bread, making cookies or carving that turkey!

If you don’t have an all-purpose bar in your kitchen yet, it’s easy to enlarge and transform an existing counter space into something more functional. Today’s kitchens are as much about congregating as they are about cooking. A nice wide counter with coordinating bar stools can act as an extra eating area, homework completion zone, or place to hang out for your teenagers. If you’re going to redo your countertops, you might as well create more useable work space too.

Tip #3: Don’t Forget Storage

Can you ever have “enough” storage in your kitchen? Even if your existing cabinets are still OK, you may want to reorganize their interiors to be more user-friendly. There are plenty of pull-out draw options and other organizers on the market today that are easy to install and can make a huge difference.

For the very best in Utah countertops, make sure to visit with the natural stone professionals at Bedrock Quartz: they will turn your wintertime remodeling dreams into a springtime reality.
