We are one week away from September which means Fall is just around the corner (and the holidays also!). We typically schedule several classes for this season and this year we have squeezed four of them in. If you have been on the fence about remodeling and just need to understand a little more before you feel comfortable moving forward then continue reading and let us know how we can help you.

Is Your Home Holiday-Ready?

You heard me right, I asked if your home is holiday-ready? Yes, I know Thanksgiving is 4 months away but now, like today, is the right time to start planning for your home remodeling projects if you hope to have them done for the holiday season.

Let's look a little more closely at what the typical remodeling project timeline looks like when contracting with DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen.

Celebrating a Great Team - National Awards Earned

We are excited to share the details of all of the hardware that we brought back from the DreamMaker Annual Conference held in Austin, Texas in June. In total, 12 new shiny awards were earned by individual and team efforts. Ready for the run down? Well here it is...

The Finish Line - Accessible Bathroom Addition Complete (Part 4 & Final)

Here we are....at the Finish Line. The Accessible Bathroom Addition is now a reality.

Do you remember the significance of this project? We were approached by this homeowner when she visited our Design Center. Every person interested in a remodeling project has a reason they need remodeling done - it's dated, it's not functioning properly, it's falling apart, it's not my style.

Progress on Featured Project (Part 2)

Here we are, the second update of our featured project that is in progress as we speak. (well, when it isn’t raining it is in progress). The accessible bath addition is coming along as scheduled and we are excited to show you some of the progress as well as tease you a little with a peak at the material selections that were made for the new bathroom.

Adding on an Accessible Bathroom (Intro-Part 1)

Welcome to a our featured project this Spring - An Accessible Bathroom Home Addition (here in Springfield, IL).

Many clients come to us to update an old bathroom, to make it fit their own personal tastes or to take it to a new level with upgraded materials, bath to shower modifications, etc. For this client however, an all new bathroom was desired... You see, the rest of the story is that she utilizes a motorized wheelchair or crutches to get around and as you can just imagine, bathing in a typical hall bathroom, roughly 5'x9' would be challenging to maneuver. We are pretty excited to get going on this game changing bathroom addition.

LED Lighting and Your Remodeling Project
