SEASONAL SPACE? Three-season porches are great for entertaining. If you have a porch that needs to be enclosed with screening or glass windows…we can help. It's great to be able to expand your living area to a three-season room when the holidays and extended family arrive. Cardinal Remodeling and Design LLC can custom build your room to exactly match the rest of the home… so it looks original. Ceiling fans are a must in a three-season room to keep you comfortable on the hot days and to better circulate the warm air from home on cooler days.

NEED MORE SPACE? Most of the additions that Cardinal Remodeling and Design LLC has built were for master bathrooms. Cardinal Remodeling provides Room Additions in Grand Rapids, Grandville, Holland, Hudsonville, Jenison, Wyoming and across Kent & Ottawa counties. The bigger ones included laundry closets for the clothes washer and dryer. Vaulted ceilings with skylights will help to brighten the room. We have also converted bathrooms to accommodate handicapped people. It's amazing what can be done to give handicapped people more independence.

Customers really like the under-counter mounted sinks for the convenience of cleaning. You should have a solid surface countertop to attach the sinks to….(not laminate.) Customers also like Neo-Angle corner showers when a tub is not needed. Neo-angle showers provide a modern look and are available in a wide array of glass choices to fit your personal style. A laundry chute to the laundry room is a huge space saver. This will eliminate the need for dirty laundry to collect in the corner. If there is room in the bath…a sitting table with a well-lit mirror is a great place to add those finishing touches like nail polish and makeup. This bathroom has an acrylic tub with ceramic tile on the floor and shower walls. The glass block window is called ice.

ADD OR UPGRADE A DECK. Do you like to grill? Does your deck have an out-of-the-way area just for the grill? Have you thought about converting your existing deck to a maintenance-free vinyl or composite deck? Cardinal Remodeling and Design LLC can help you with your existing deck or help you design and build from scratch. Everyone enjoys being outdoors, and a nice deck with a grill or hot tub can really add to the overall quality of lifestyle at your home. There are many decking materials and price ranges to choose from. Cardinal Remodeling and Design LLC will help guide you through the choices to find that perfect fit of form and function for your deck. Treated wood, cedar wood, composite, and vinyl decking are most commonly used today. Cardinal Remodeling and Design LLC has built some of the most regal-looking decks in the area. If you are ready to make your outdoor area more usable, call Cardinal Remodeling and Design LLC today. Ask about a side storage area for your grill (so it's out of the way) and a bay area to give your deck a more aesthetically pleasing look. This deck incorporates the full length of the home, providing access to and from the garage. Providing covered seating down below and stairs to lower level patio.

WE CAN HANDLE THE FLOORING TOO… Simply put… kitchens and bathrooms should have ceramic tile or vinyl flooring for ease of cleaning. A trend in flooring is to eliminate carpets altogether. Carpet degrades daily, and the fine particles end up as dust in your lungs and on your furniture. If you need to, you can always put down a throw rug where needed. Real Hardwood flooring is always a welcome sight in a home. It will give your home a prestigious look and feel. Hardwood flooring exudes a warm, comfortable feeling, whereas ceramic tile offers a more industrial or sanitary feel.

Have you ever wanted to make your kitchen brighter and more organized? Maybe you would like an island or nicer cupboards. Have you seen the new under-counter mounted sinks? Do you like the look of granite or tile? Cardinal Remodeling and Design LLC can help you bring those ideas to life. One trick that has made Cardinal Remodeling and Design LLC's kitchens so appealing is that they will bump out the counter around the sink. This will allow for a bigger sink, and you can get the whole pot or pan in when it's time to wash. Call Cardinal today and see what the latest trend is in kitchen remodeling. Denise's new kitchen has Hickory cabinets with mitered corners. The island has a granite top. The counter is Corian with under-counter mounted sinks. The floor is vinyl, and the backsplash is tile.

ARE YOUR SHINGLES STARTING TO CURL UP? Are the valleys of your roof eroded? Does your roof leak? These are tell-tale signs that you may need a new roof. We prefer the CertainTeed brand. Certainteed brand roofing offers a wide array of colors to choose from. All CertainTeed products come with a great warranty. If you have a low-pitch roof 3/12 or less, we recommend ice and water barrier be installed on the entire roof. Otherwise, Cardinal Remodeling and Design LLC always install ice and water barrier six feet up the roof starting at the eve. This helps to protect the home in case you have ice dams. What's new in roofing? Many people are converting their roofs from shingles to steel. Steel roofing now comes in a multitude of colors, shapes, and styles and will help keep your home cooler in the summer. The best thing about steel is that it is a reusable product. It is much more environmentally friendly than shingles that end up in landfills. Whether you want shingles or steel… give us a call, and we will help with all your roofing needs. This house received a total makeover…new: roofing, soffit, fascia, siding, windows, doors, flooring, kitchen, basement finish, driveway, back concrete deck, and patio sliding door. The garage had a hip roof, and we changed it to a gable roof with all new roofing, soffit, fascia, siding, doors, windows, and shutters.
