National Association of the Remodeling Industry
(NARI) Certified Professionals
T
he National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) is the only independent national association dedicated solely to the remodeling industry. NARI’s focus is on professional conduct, continuing education and training, and fair and ethical treatment within the industry. NARI certification of professional remodeling contractors serves as the association’s recognition of remodeling professionals who have met stringent criteria for experience and pledged a commitment to high standards of practice and NARI’s Code of Ethics. Among the factors to consider when selecting a remodeling contractor, in addition to NARI certification, is your assessment of and satisfaction with the remodeling contractor’s workmanship, reputation and integrity, durability of materials used, and equipment. Before hiring any remodeling or home improvement contractor, visit and inspect similar projects that he or she has completed, and establish that you will be able to communicate well with each other to ensure your complete satisfaction with the final product.
What does NARI Certification mean to you?
D
eciding to remodel your home is a big decision. Outside of buying your home, it may be the single biggest investment you make. You need to know that the remodeling contractor you choose is a full-time, dedicated remodeling professional. NARI’s certification program offers this assurance through its extensive screening, training and testing process. In addition, NARI certification programs require on-going education and training to maintain certification status. Only full-time, professional remodeling contractors are eligible for certification by NARI. You can be assured that any time you hire a NARI certified remodeling contractor, you are hiring an individual who has made a strong commitment to the professionalism of the remodeling industry and to his or her business. And because remodelers are not eligible for certification until they have been actively involved in the remodeling industry for at least five years, you know that the NARI certified remodeling professional you hire for your home improvement project has had many years to develop the experience and skills that can only be gained through extensive hands-on practice. Isn’t it good to know that your remodeling contractor has a long-term commitment to his or her work?

HOMEOWNERS CONTINUE TO INVEST IN EXTENDING THE HOME OUTSIDE
T
he most used rooms in the house have moved outdoors! Americans love to cook, socialize and eat outdoors, so it was only a matter of time before kitchens and living rooms moved outside. The backyard is the site of a trend across the country that is growing at a dramatic rate. More and more homeowners are creating outdoor living spaces. In the May 2015 issue of Money, the magazine printed results from a reader poll in which 38 percent of homeowners replied Outdoor Space when asked “What home improvement would you most like to make this year?” This was well ahead of Kitchens at 28 percent, Bathrooms at 25 percent and Add a Room at 10 percent. Residents in regions of the United States that enjoy milder weather were the first to embrace the outdoor living concept. Another driver is that, instead of traveling to resorts, homeowners are creating a more lasting resort atmosphere in their own backyards — everything from cooking, lounging and playing areas. People are now actively expanding their homes outdoors for more enjoyment and comfort. It’s clear people have embraced the concept of making their home a haven. As a result, manufacturers have developed plenty of choices.
Outdoor Kitchen Area While the general focus of an outdoor room includes cooking and eating areas pulled together by a fireplace and a common floor, some outdoor rooms are similar to indoor eat-in kitchens. Today, outdoor kitchens can encompass expansive counter space and full food preparation areas with amenities such as sinks and plumbing. No longer do you find a lonely barbecue grill outside. Many homeowners take the concept further by installing built-in natural gas grills with multiple burners and full indoor kitchen-grade cooktops – even brick pizza ovens. It’s also possible to add a warming oven, dishwasher, refrigerator and specialty beverage cooler to round out the space. Some homeowners choose to incorporate a bar area with stools or a long dining table with oversized and comfortable chairs. Adding a fountainh, trellis and lighting to the area can complete the whole new ambiance, providing the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining. The Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association (HPBA) reports that outdoor room specific trends include climate control, ultimate convenience and clean design lines. To provide more relaxation time, people are seeking products that combine utility and convenience. HPBA describes smartphone linked grills and cool misting fans that can also dispense mosquito repellent and aromatherapy. Smokeless natural gas fire pits and heated tables are available to provide yearround outdoor dining.
Spring | Summer 2015
Living Room or Lounge Area Manufacturers are creating products that help provide year-round comfort. The latest outdoor furniture goes for aesthetics, offering alluring designs and textures in durable, weather-resistant and stainresistant fabrics. Heated floors and patio heaters warm chilly weather and cooling misters ease summer heat. Fireplaces or fire pits add ambiance in any season. People are definitely drawn to a fire pit or fireplace. It’s an amenity for outdoor living rooms that all ages can enjoy. Kids love it; adults love it. The atmosphere created with a fire feature can be comforting and romantic, or fun-filled with marshmallow roasting and storytelling. Linear natural gas fireplaces are currently trending. Thinner overall, new natural gas fireplaces feature high-heat tolerant glass and no-trim options. They come in sophisticated, contemporary styles made to withstand the elements. Natural gas fireplaces and fire pits are easy to light, simple to enjoy and easy to maintain.
Resort-style Pool and Spa Area While Florida boasts some of the mildest weather in the country, homeowners often look for pool and spa heating to lengthen the swimming season. With more swim time, the pool and spa area gets extended use. A variety of paving and decking, lounge furniture in contemporary and weather-resistant material, shading with umbrellas, canopies, and custom-built structures and creative lighting can be incorporated into a pool and spa area design with lasting interest. An outdoor living space can be designed for every segment of the residential market, from starter homes up to executive mansions. Money invested in making hard improvements to the backyard, such as installing a permanent grill island and a natural gas fireplace or fire pit, usually add to the appraised value of the homes. The outdoor space also dramatically enhances curb appeal when it comes time to sell. Outdoor rooms are often created over a period of years to accommodate large wish lists and limited budgets. People tend to prioritize projects that will provide the most use immediately – whether that is a fireplace feature with seating or a grill and dining area. After the living areas are complete, finish with landscaping. If sitting comfortably with friends or family in the backyard with the crackle of a fire or dinner sizzling on the grill seems like pure pleasure, it’s time to start planning for that outdoor living space.

Top 8 Outdoor Living Trends for 2015
THE CONCEPT OF “OUTDOOR LIVING” IS AN INCREASINGLY POPULAR TREND THAT INVOLVES EXTENDING YOUR INDOOR SPACE TO THE OUTSIDE. Trend #1: Outdoor Rooms Your outdoor space can be as comfy and inviting as your indoors. We are creating distinct outdoor rooms or spaces for separate uses such as cooking, dining, lounging, playing and storing. Apart from being extremely functional, creating separate outdoor rooms makes the space infinitely more interesting and aesthetically pleasing.
Trend #5: Fire Features The natural element of fire is simply a source of satisfaction. Custom wood burning fire pits were the choice of yesterday. Today natural gas fireplaces with custom built-ins are the popular choice. Fire features contribute to the ambiance of a your space.

Trend #2: Clean Lines for a Contemporary and Sophisticated Look Curvilinear geometry in landscaping has given way to rectangular geometry. Winding pathways and swooping beds are giving way to clean, sleek lines with sharp edges and 90 degree angles. Simple hues, matte finishes and monochromatic pairings are accentuating this trendy urban vibe.
Trend #6: Low Maintenance Choices Time has become a major decision when choosing products used in outdoor landscapes. Composite decking and fencing, artificial grass, larger mulched planting beds and lower maintenance plant selections.
Trend #3: Outdoor Kitchens
Trend #4: Water Features
The outdoor kitchen is becoming the “heart” of the outdoor home. They are practical, convenient, functional and can be absolutely spectacular. A wide range of material selection and outdoor appliances to rival the indoor kitchen. Guys get their equality in their outdoor kitchen!
The soothing sound of water creates an oasis in your outdoor space. Fountains, waterfalls, cascading ponds, rain showers – whatever the execution – water features add ambiance. Their sound is not only relaxing, but it can help reduce external sounds such as your neighbors activity.
Trend #7: Edible Landscapes
Trend #8: Smart Outdoor Lighting
Introducing your flowers to your vegetables. Blended gardens that incorporate edibles and ornamentals are becoming the norm. Your garden will be both beautiful and delicious. Tomatoes next to your roses!
Enjoy your landscape and outdoor design day and night. Customized smart outdoor lighting can light up your pool, water and fire features, walkways and beds. Using well placed lighting will provides shadow giving your outdoor space an intriguing, romantic ambiance. Spring | Summer 2015

Remodeling Your A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THE PHRASE “REMODELING YOUR FINANCES” SPITS OUT NUMEROUS RESULTS, FROM DO-IT-YOURSELF REMODELING TIPS TO HELP YOUR BUDGET, TO HOW TO FINANCE A HOME REMODEL. CLEARLY, THE MAIN CONNECTION THAT THE MAJORITY MAKES BETWEEN “FINANCES” AND “REMODELING” IS HOW YOU CAN USE DIFFERENT FINANCIAL STRATEGIES TO REMODEL YOUR PHYSICAL LIVING SPACE. WHY IS IT THAT NO ONE SEEMS TO MAKE THE CONNECTION THAT THEIR FINANCIAL LIFE IS ALSO A PHYSICAL STRUCTURE THAT MAY BE IN NEED OF A REMODEL?
A
side from your home, the most important structure in your life is that of your finances. However, many people don’t see their finances as a physical, living thing that needs to be nurtured, evaluated, and have a sound framework in place to support a healthy structure that can withstand the elements. Instead, many of us bounce around between different monetary decisions and actions, without any idea of how everything is working together. Sound familiar?
The Financial Junk Drawer A side effect of life keeping us busy, we rarely have time to sit down and clarify our thoughts regarding our financial process. So, the junk drawer is created, and is the place where all things financial tend to end up: wills, insurance policies, investment statements, trusts, and so on. Many people think that their financial junk drawer creates a rhyme or reason behind their decisions and actions because it’s their “system.” But opening our junk drawer and sifting through the pieces tends to become a daunting task, so traditional techniques teach us to distribute our information among multiple advisors and institutions for them to manage. While not uncommon, this separates the pieces of your financial puzzle onto numerous, uncorrelated paths, each one operating according to a different agenda, making it almost impossible to see the collective end result. I like to compare this method to trying 12

to play chess without a chess board: How can you see if you’re making the right moves? How can you see your standing in the game? How can you see and respond to the moves your opponent is making?
Remodeling Your Financial House A framework to give your financial life structure is just as essential as a game board is for playing a game of chess. And while many people think that their finances are too intimidating to make sense of on their own, the junk drawer almost enhances this intimidation because of its inherent disorganization. A worthy framework for your finances should begin at the first step on the path to financial success: financial organization. As the main function of The Living Balance Sheet®, the digital platform that we provide to our clients, this tool allows you to pull in all of your financial information, and then break down its complexity into four domains; just as there’s a right way to build a house, there’s a right way to build your financial structure, and The Living Balance Sheet® allows you to start from the ground up. Cash Flow serves as the foundation from which your wealth is built and sustained. This domain offers insight into your spending habits, the allocation break down of your income, and if your wealth is growing or dwindling and how fast either one is happening. Spring | Summer 2015

Assets and Liabilities combine to determine the square footage of the structure, and make up the interior framework. When put together, these two domains represent your net worth statement, and an accurate net worth statement is only produced when you consider your items of value (assets) in conjunction with the debts (liabilities) that may be connected to them. Protection serves as the roof that shelters your interior and the valuables that are found and live within it. Instead of forecasting a future that we know nothing about, aiming to protect yourself for your full economic value allows you to focus on managing your risk exposure to the changing information of today.
To Financial Organization and Beyond While there is no shortage of technology available today that can help you get financially organized, the majority of these programs sell you short because typically all they’re capable of doing is pulling down information pertaining to one area of your financial life. Going miles beyond this, The Living Balance Sheet® gives you the ability to maintain financial balance by producing a real-time picture of your complete current financial position. Managing the information being fed into your four domains gives us the ability to diagnose problem areas, and to build and implement effective risk management Spring | Summer 2015

strategies so that your financial structure can positively react to and withstand the outside elements. The true value in this innovative platform doesn’t come in the form of its number crunching ability, but rather from its ability to continuously optimize your current financial position. Extracting insights from the real-time information feed allows you to turn this data into effective actions, ultimately leading to smarter financial decisions.
Reaching Your Full Financial Potential Every financial decision and action generates reactions which, over time, can build up and will eventually form a cap that can limit your financial success. Until you do something to break through the limitations, you can find yourself remaining stagnant or experiencing less than ideal results. By breaking down the barriers of traditional financial techniques, such as the junk drawer, remodeling your financial house through the structure of The Living Balance Sheet® can lead to a lifestyle change. Giving you constant access to your current financial position at the click of a button keeps you financially focused, leaving you free to enjoy the pleasures in your life while taking comfort in knowing that all of your financial information is being proactively managed for you in one, digital destination.

High Tech Kitchens
in High Demand
T
he digital craze has affected virtually every aspect of life, but perhaps nowhere is it more useful than in the home. From keeping your property secure to saving water and energy, digital upgrades can give your house a modern edge that adds convenience, cuts costs and improves resale value. Within the home, the kitchen showcases the digital trend more than any other room. Smart appliances simplify tasks for homeowners while adding sleek design to spaces. Homeowners can now control stoves via smartphone and microwaves have the ability to sense when food is warmed just right. Can’t remember if you’re out of milk? A smart refrigerator will tell you via text if you need to make a stop on the way home. Even seemingly basic aspects of the kitchen are getting futuristic makeovers. No place is this more evident than with faucets. Evolving tremendously over the last decade, faucets today embrace a blend of style and function with high-tech features that impress guests and potential buyers while making your life easier on a daily basis. In fact, if you’re looking for a manageable first step to transform your current kitchen into a high-tech powerhouse, the faucet is the perfect starting point. Here are some things to consider as you shop for a digital faucet:
1. Does the faucet help keep the kitchen healthier (or more hygienic)? More than just access to water, look for digital faucets with features to help keep the kitchen more hygienic. For example, Did-U-Wave digital faucets from Danze Inc. have a 3-inch infrared sensor for motion-activated functionality - perfect when your hands are full or dirty. Just imagine not having to touch the faucet to wash your hands after handling raw meat or dirty dishes. Eliminating touch means eliminating the spread of germs. 14
Remodel Tampa Bay
2. Does the faucet help save water? A sensor makes it easy to access water, but what if you forget to turn it off? Especially important for the busy home cook or household with kids, a faucet that shuts off automatically if movement is not sensed is an important feature. While some digital faucets stay on two or more minutes, 60 seconds is the time to fill an average pot, so watch for a faucet that runs more than is necessary. That way you won’t waste water when you or someone else is in a hurry or simply forgets, which not only helps the environment but also helps save money on utilities.
3. Do the high tech features make life easier? A good digital faucet will help make kitchen activity easier so you can maximize your time and minimize stress. Unique features of Danze digital faucets include LED task lighting at the tip of the spray head that provides spot lighting for easy sight no matter what you’re doing, and SnapBack Technology that ensures the head will comfortably snap into place after every use for a tidy kitchen with less effort.
4. Is the faucet stylish? Much like jewelry accentuates an outfit, a faucet is a key focal point of the kitchen. Look for a stylish faucet with advanced features that marries fashion and function. Gooseneck designs in chrome or stainless steel are classic options that match a variety of kitchen aesthetics, so you can have timeless style alongside helpful benefits. High-tech kitchens are here to stay in American homes. This growing trend adds value while making the heart of the home more useful. Start with a digital faucet and explore all the opportunities to upgrade your kitchen. Spring | Summer 2015

he yellowing cabinets were falling apart. An outdated fan hung from the low ceilings and the very poor lighting did little for the space. Entertaining was one of the key requirements for our clients’ new space. They wanted a welcoming place to prepare meals while chatting with guests. Our homeowners wanted functionality, symmetry and a “wow” factor. They are thrilled with the gourmet kitchen we designed and created for them. We were challenged by the load bearing walls between the dining room, family room and the kitchen. Because the home had been remodeled several times over the years there were ceiling joist and roof trusses blending together in a few different directions. The as-built drawings held no insights to the true layout, but after a bit of engineering and design work we were able come up with a cost effective solution. To open things up we added a 6” steel beam across

Remodel Tampa Bay
the length of the kitchen and “WOW!” what a transformation. The dining room and family room, adjacent to the kitchen, were no longer separated by these load bearing walls that were hiding a beautiful window and a spacious inviting room. This allows for easier use of the kitchen and full access of all their new stainless steel appliances. Additionally, instead of our clients having several different levels of flooring, we were able to level the flooring to ease the flow of traffic throughout the kitchen and living area, as well as create a cohesively uniformed, visually appealing look throughout the entire home. The steel beam is a 6” masterpiece. It allowed us to bring the ceiling up to its highest possible level, without a complete reconstruction of the roofing system. Additionally, the use of Icenine in the flat section of the roof was the best solution to keep the house cool despite the constant Florida sun. In combination, these items saved the homeowner a tremendous amount of money, while still maintaining the integrity of the roof structure. This new enlarged kitchen features custom solid wood maple cabinets (no prefabricated boxes) finished with crown and a frieze to the ceiling. All drawers are 5/8” dovetail with full extension slow close glides. Extra storage space was provided with the bump out over the refrigerator. The wood three-tier spice rack rollout and the double trash pullout are added space savers. All new energy efficient stainless steel appliances adorn the kitchen including a hidden microwave on the opposite side of the island. A solid unfinished Sapele countertop was purchased online. It was then cut, molded and stained onsite. We were able to facilitate the custom cabinet trim so that it would hide the new 6” steel beam. The matching garbage disposal counter-top air switch adds convenience and is very discrete.
The rich cherry color of the hardwood flooring, which was installed with a horizontal pattern, gives the room rhythm. The cabinets with their classy white color compliment the floor for symmetry in the room. The use of LED lighting, both internally in the custom glass door cabinets, as well as externally underneath the cabinets, gave the kitchen a bright feel and also provided our clients with more than enough lighting for all of their kitchen needs. A new energy efficient low-e impact window was installed to the side sitting area adding style and functionality. The casement style allows the home owner to open the window with ease and let in fresh air. This gourmet kitchen with exquisitely crafted cabinetry has allowed the homeowners’ ideas to come to life. It greatly opened up the flow of the home both visually and functionally. Spring | Summer 2015

WHEN SPRING ARRIVES WILL YOUR DECK BE READY FOR “PRIMETIME?” OR WILL IT STILL BE WEARING THE SHABBY REMNANTS OF LAST SEASON’S LOOK? CLUNKY, VIEW-BLOCKING RAILINGS, A RECTANGULAR LAYOUT AND DARK STAIN ARE SO LAST DECADE. BEFORE WARM WEATHER GETS HERE, CONSIDER UPGRADING YOUR OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE WITH THE TRENDS THAT EVERY WELL-DRESSED DECK WILL BE WEARING THIS YEAR.
Cable railing = better views Whether you’re lucky enough to live on the water or you spend a lot of time keeping your backyard green and blooming, wouldn’t it be great to be able to enjoy the view from your deck? Traditional wooden railings can block your view, and glass can be hard to clean. More view-seeking homeowners are replacing wooden balusters with Ultra-tec stainless steel cable railings. Do-it-yourself kits from manufacturers like The Cable Connection make it easy to replace old balusters with stainless steel cable, creating a sleek, upscale and viewfriendly look. The cable can be used with wood, metal or sleeved posts with a solid core, and you can retrofit any railing with the cable. Whether your deck is made of wood or composite, cable railing works wherever you would install a traditional railing, including the deck perimeter and stairs. Visit www.thecableconnection.com to learn more.
A deck of a different color Clear sealant for a natural look or subdued rustic hues have long been the colors of choice for decks. This year, expect to see a plethora of fresh colors popping up on decks. While changing the color of a wooden deck from a darker hue to something brighter may be problematic, composite decking manufacturers have branched out into a variety of brighter colors, including whites and light grays. You’ll even see pops of color like greens and blues in designs and inserts set into decking planks. You can also add color to your deck through plantings. Think outside the planter box - and traditional floral plantings - to mix things up with decorative grasses and leafy foliage that will splash color around your deck throughout the summer. 20

designer touches every well-dressed deck will wear this season
Mixed media ups interest Wooden planks, wooden railings, stairs and even furniture - long gone are the days when decks were single-material constructions. Today’s decks are a study in mixed media, incorporating traditional materials like wood, brick and tile with modern elements such as composite planks, cable railings and even ceramic tile. The amalgam of materials can yield a multitude of patterns, styles and looks. Pair a traditional wood deck with cable railing and stairs that descend to a patio of pavers set in a herringbone pattern. Use heatresistant ceramic tile to create a decorative and functional cooking area on a composite deck. Varying the materials used in your deck adds visual depth, interest and excitement to your outdoor living space.
On the lighter side Outdoor lighting isn’t just for the purposes of safety, or to extend the deck’s usability well into the night. Lighting can be a design statement and a powerful decorative element for your deck. Decorative post caps can add a designer look to railings while also providing ample light for outdoor activities. Inset lights create mood and ensure safe footing on stairs. For a soft, glowing effect, tuck rope lighting beneath upper and lower railings. Don’t forget the beauty of natural light, too; fire pits offer up warmth, ambience and gentle light. With some designer touches, it’s easy to turn your deck from dull to delightful - and ensure your outdoor spaces stay in step with today’s best-dressed decks. When spring arrives will your deck be ready for “primetime?” Or will it still be wearing the shabby remnants of last season’s look? Clunky, view-blocking railings, a rectangular layout and dark stain are so last decade. Before warm weather gets here, consider upgrading your outdoor living space with the trends that every welldressed deck will be wearing this year. Spring | Summer 2015

BOB COCHRANE AND HIS WIFE ACQUIRED A 1500 SF BEACHFRONT CONDO FROM A FAMILY MEMBER TO BE USED AS A 2ND HOME. WHO WOULDN’T WANT A BEACHFRONT CONDO AS A 2ND HOME… HOWEVER, THIS CONDO HAD NEVER BEEN UPDATED SINCE BEING BUILT IN THE EARLY 80’S. THE WALLPAPER, CARPET, CABINETRY, LIGHTING, DOORS, TRIM WORK, BATHROOMS AND KITCHEN WERE NOT ONLY DATED BUT WELL WORN.
T
hey wanted a modern theme with a touch of elegance, finished with unique doors and simple trim. They also wanted to open up the kitchen and increase closet utilization throughout the condo since closet space is at a premium in condos. Finally, they wanted to make the master bath private from the bedroom and create a large walk-in shower in master bath.

Remodel Tampa Bay
Saving a Beachfront Condo Stuck in Transformation out from the 80’s The King Contracting crew got right to work, removing a “LumaDome” ceiling and partial walls in kitchen area to open it up. Walls were removed in the master bath to allow for a larger shower and to re-frame one wall to allow a pocket door to be installed, giving the master bedroom privacy from the bath. Headers above closets were removed to allow for 8’ closet by-pass doors, gaining over 25 cubic feet of storage in each guest bedroom closet. Black Walnut cabinetry from Design Kraft was used both in the kitchen and laundry area since they are visible simultaneously. The doors are full-overlay flush panels to help achieve the modern look. The kitchen was finished out with beautiful Italian granite with a stone, metal and glass mix for the backsplash. The same materials were utilized in the laundry area for continuity.

Warm cherry cabinetry was put into the 2 bathrooms with wellmatched granite counter tops and a glass, stone and metal mix for shower walls and backsplashes to keep with the modern theme yet add that touch of elegance the owner’s wanted to achieve. Special order doors from JeldWen and simple square stock for base and door trim completed the modern elegant feel with distinct clean lines just as Bob and his wife envisioned! Spring | Summer 2015

Volunteers, corporate partnerships and zero-interest mortgages make the homeownership dream possible through Habitat for Humanity’s program.
S
ince 1985, Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County has been building homes that change lives. Habitat Pinellas is a locallyrun affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit organization that builds affordable homes for limited-income families and individuals who otherwise could not afford to own a home. Financially-burdened families living in overcrowded and substandard conditions contribute to instability in our community and weaken our economy. And their health and educational success is impacted. Habitat’s affordable homeownership program provides the opportunity for working families or individuals who qualify to achieve the dream of homeownership and helps put them on a path to a brighter future.
How does the Habitat program work? Perhaps Habitat for Humanity’s biggest myth is that it “gives away” homes. Not so. Habitat’s homeowner candidates work very hard for their homes and must have a reasonable credit history and consistent income to qualify. As program partners, homeowner candidates must fulfill several requirements before they ever receive the key to their home. In addition to its homeowner partners, Habitat brings community volunteers, corporate donors, civic organizations and faith groups together as partners to help build its affordable homes throughout Pinellas County. Required to invest 250-350 “sweat equity” hours, Habitat’s homeowner candidates work on the build sites alongside community volunteers. Once the homes are completed and sweat equity and class program requirements are met, the homes are sold to the homeowner candidates at no profit and with zero-interest mortgages.

Volunteers are the heartbeat of Habitat for Humanity. Volunteer labor helps us keep the cost of building homes low. We are grateful for our amazing base of Habitat Pinellas volunteers who number 5,000 strong each year to help us build and rehab an average of 30 Habitat homes annually. However, donor support from the Pinellas County community is just as vital to our mission. Like all Habitat for Humanity affiliates, we raise all of our funds locally, receiving no financial support from Habitat for Humanity International in Americus, GA.
How the Habitat Pinellas ReStore fits in. Through sales of new and gently-used donated building materials and home improvement items like furniture and appliances, the ReStore provides Habitat with self-generated revenue that benefits the nonprofit’s building program. In addition to providing funding that helps keep Habitat building, the ReStore makes a unique contribution to Pinellas County’s recycling program by keeping nearly 500 tons out of the landfills annually.
Get involved in a mission that will change lives – including YOURS! Volunteer opportunities with Habitat Pinellas make it possible for thousands of people to get active in our community and make a difference in the lives of children and families. Building a home takes time and money, but seeing a family get the key to a home you helped build is inspiring. Come out and volunteer. Donate or shop at the ReStore. Or consider a monetary contribution to help keep Habitat building. Come make a difference. www.HabitatPinellas.org Spring | Summer 2015

COTY Awards recognize excellence in the remodeling industry in several remodeling categories, including whole-house renovations, kitchen & bath remodels, interiors, historical renovations and more. In addition, award categories are broken down by total project cost. Award winners have demonstrated superior workmanship, design innovation and materials selection. Their work is truly the best of the best.
1st Place - Interior Element Over $30K The customer purchased his town house 15 years ago and never expected to stay. But as they aged, and with a couple of knee surgeries, the customer found it medically necessary to add an elevator. There was no room on the exterior. However, we did find our one and only place possible to make it happen. A beautiful upward staircase seemed to have just enough room to squeeze in an elevator. The master bedroom was on the third floor. There were many obstacles to overcome: • The electrical panel was in the front of the house 200 feet away. • The house floors were all polished marble. • Find a way to cut an opening in the center of the house and hope for no unseeable’s. • Keep dust at a minimum since the customer was asthmatic. • Make it look like it was always there.

AS AVID BOAT OWNERS AND DEDICATED WATER ENTHUSIASTS THEY KNEW THEY HAD TO PURCHASE THIS 4000 SQUARE FOOT HOME. STROBEL DESIGN BUILD STARTED WITH THE EXTERIOR ‘MAKE OVER` TO KEEP THE RAIN WATER OUT AND TURN THE HOUSE INTO A TROPICAL OASIS. 1100 SQUARE FOOT OF COVERED EXTERIOR DECK WOULD GIVE NEEDED SHADE OUTSIDE THE HOUSE. NEW ROOF, NEW WINDOWS AND DOORS WERE NEEDED TO SOLVE WATER INTRUSION ISSUES. A MODERN VERSION OF THE “KEY WEST” LOOK WAS THE DESIGN GOAL. The homeowners are able to store kayaks, SUP’s, pool gear, and various marine supplies under the raised floor area of the house hidden from view, by access through several doors concealed in the handsome lower level wrap screen area. We created an exterior with little to no outside maintenance to reduce work and increase playtime. And Finished off the yard with a new pool and landscaping completed the dream. Spring | Summer 2015

ur clients inherited a 1982 condo on the Beaches of the Gulf Coast that needed a little rejuvenating. The kitchen was small and dark, while the traffic flow around the kitchen was non-functional. The hall bathroom cabinetry was extremely dated and had inadequate lighting. The flooring throughout the condo was in need of replacement. The Master bathroom had low ceilings and the layout made for an unusable space. Additionally, the walls in the bedrooms were dark and uninviting.
The Kitchen The existing kitchen was extremely small and crowded, which limited the functionality of the space. The client wanted to modify this to allow for traffic flow through the area, have more storage space, and create more area to work in the kitchen as well as allow a view of the water while using the kitchen. We were able to successfully change the flow of traffic for our customer by removing the soffit and expanding the kitchen into the living room. This allowed us to add an island for increased counter area. This new enlarged kitchen features custom painted solid wood cabinets that provide the customer with plenty of storage. We installed crown molding throughout the kitchen cabinetry for a spectacular finished look. All drawers are 30

Additional functionality with space saving features included the pantry with four drawer rollouts, the wood three-tier spice rack rollout and the double trash pullout. The stainless steel garbage disposal counter-top air-switch adds convenience and is very discrete. We added bead board panels to finish the back of the island and flow into the living area. Also, hand-painted sconce lights were installed above the island. Paired with the gorgeous mosaic backsplash, this masterpiece of a kitchen is completely cohesive visually and functionally.

We were able to access the toilet drain and the shower drain from the unit below to accommodate the new design of the master bathroom for a four foot walk-in shower. We brought the spa experience into the home with this large walk-in shower. Housed with beautiful frameless glass, this spa shower contains a rain shower tower with multiple jets, giving our clients a luxurious bathing experience. Our clients still needed storage but also wanted function and style. In removing the existing smaller closet area, we were able to significantly increase the size of the overall bathroom, while still providing a sufficient amount of storage for the clients with the completely custom cabinetry, which includes a built-in countertop cabinet next to the beautiful twin vanity sinks. This provided the most efficient use of the bathroom while increasing functionality as well. LED lighting was placed throughout the bathroom, in addition to the beautiful sconce lights placed on each side of the mirrors, adding a beautiful illuminating ambiance throughout.

From the Standpoint of a Realtor:

Written by Rachel Sartain
AS A HOMEOWNER AND REALTOR LIVING IN DOWNTOWN ST. PETE, I RECENTLY FOUND MYSELF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF I WANTED TO REMODEL MY HOUSE, SELL IT AND BUY SOMETHING DIFFERENT, OR KNOCK IT DOWN AND BUILD NEW. MY HOME WAS BUILT IN 1947 AND SITS ON AN EXTRA-LARGE LOT IN A PROMINENT AREA. THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS A HODGEPODGE OF SMALL BUNGALOWS AND LARGER 2-STORY HOMES. THERE ARE MANY FACTORS IN DECIDING WHICH ROUTE TO TAKE. THIS ARTICLE WILL SHARE WITH YOU SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN MAKING YOUR DECISION TO ENHANCE YOUR LIFESTYLE. If you are a homeowner trying to make the decision of remodel your existing house, sell it and buy something else or build new, here are few questions to consider that will help you make the best decision for you and your situation and tips to make the process smoother.
Remodel How long do you plan to live in the house? If you are making remodeling decisions to live in your home for 5+ years, your remodel needs will be significantly different than someone making upgrades to get more market value. TIP: do not make upgrades for someone else to enjoy. Make those upgrades now and enjoy them for yourself. Most remodeling efforts will only recoup about 60-80% of the actual job cost when you resale. Go ahead and recoup 100% enjoyment from your upgrades by enjoying them over the next few years. Are you right side up on your current home? What are the home values in your neighborhood? Will your remodel project bring your home more inline with neighborhood prices or out-price your home for the area? The real estate market has been on an upswing for the past 4 years, slow and steady. Most areas in Tampa Bay are seeing double digit increases year over year. TIP: Speak to a local Realtor to discuss market prices in your area and what upgrades should be done if you are thinking of selling. A NARI contractor can give you options to stay within your budget. 32
Remodel Tampa Bay
From a real estate professionals experience, here are a few remodeling projects to consider to help make your home stand out no matter if you sell now or several years down the road.
• Curb Appeal should be your FIRST thought! If you cannot get them through the front door, none of the interior upgrades will be seen. Manicured lawns, clean front door and clean windows will give your home a fresh makeover for all to appreciate. • Open floor plans have become more and more popular. Creating an open entertaining area is very important for today’s homeowners. Meet with your favorite NARI member to find out how you can open up your current living area. • Closet space and storage is always key. Most homes built in the urban areas of Tampa Bay were built between 1920 and 1960. These homes have small closets and limited storage. Check out some DIY projects on pinterest and see how you can easily declutter and organize the spaces you have with a little minimal work and big impacts. • Continuous flooring in all of your living spaces help give an impression that the spaces are larger, more open and create a nice flow. • Replace old windows with new energy efficient double paned windows that meet hurricane standards. This will cut down on your electric and insurance bill now and give your great selling points down the road. Plus, new windows just look better. • A fresh coat of paint can go a really long way! You will want to paint baseboards, entry doors, and neutralize crazy fun colors. Appealing to the masses is much easier than finding the one unique person like yourself.
Spring | Summer 2015
someone else’s equity and the spaces are probably not exactly how you would have done them. The remodel path starts creating spaces that are custom to you and your home needs. It is not likely that you will find another house that meets those custom needs. Either way you will end up with a project on your hands. Your NARI contractor will be your best friend as you go through your choices. Make sure you are consulting with the professionals to help you make the best decision for you and your lifestyle.
Build New
Sell and Buy If you were to sell your home and buy another one, what is available? What area will you move to and when you find something and does it need to be remodeled too? Remember the 3 L’s of real estate - Location, Location, Location. Find your location, then see if you can find a home. In the two past years Buyer demand for a nice home has continued to increase and inventory has continued to decrease. Jump on realtor.com and look at what options you have for Spring | Summer 2015
buying in the price point that works for you. TIP: Contact your Lender and find out how much you qualify for if you were to buy, build or need home-equity for a remodel project. From personal experience, if you are ready for something new and are considering remodeling, none of the homes you find will meet your needs. Most homes you find will need to be remodeled. You may find a home that has already been remodeled which means you are buying
Maybe the right home for you is not out there and you want to build new. Where will you build? Do you have the time for new construction? What will it costs? And most importantly, where will you live while it is being built? New home construction might take 9 months to 2 years depending on many factors. The process will also be demanding on the home owner’s time. TIP: Make sure you have the time and patience to build a new home, especially a custom home. Consider the fact that land options in the best areas are very limited if any at all. When choosing a specific area with limited land options, the alternative is to purchase of an existing home, do a tear down and then build new construction. Buying of a home for most of us is the biggest purchase decision we make in our lives. Take time to make the decisions that best fit your family and lifestyle and consult with trusted professionals to help make your decision process a little easier. Remodel Tampa Bay
