Remodeing you bathroom!!! We will help you
The smallest room in your home could undoubtedly require the largest number of professionals to remodel. A plumber, tiler, electrician, flooring installer, painter and cabinet installer will be called on to transform your bathroom, or you can use one company like PrestigeCore LLC..
If you see the bathroom as strictly utilitarian, you may choose to do a superficial cosmetic redecorating job. But if you’re adventuresome, this smallest room in your home can showcase the design of your wildest creativity. Colors or patterns you’d be afraid to use in another room can shine in this private area. And materials that would be prohibitively expensive in a larger area will fit into the bath budget
New homes are being built with special attention given to luxurious, large bathrooms with multiple sinks, toilet and bidet, separate tub and shower stalls, custom tile work, and closets to die for. But most homes offer minimal space and leave lots of room for imagination, dreaming, and adapting. The necessities of a bathroom include sink, toilet, tub and shower. Everything else is frosting on the cake. But sometimes the frosting is the best part!
One of the first things you’ll consider when thinking about a bathroom remodel is the tub or shower, and your choice will make a huge impact on the overall success of your project.
Do you dream of a sunken whirlpool tub for leisurely soaking? Does your Victorian home require a claw-foot tub with a hand-held brass showerhead? The least expensive alternative is a pre-molded fiberglass unit which incorporates both shower and tub.
The next most important selection you’ll make is the toilet. There are almost as many choices for toilets as there are for sinks or tubs. If you want a vintage look, you can choose a pull-chain flushing mechanism. If you want ultra-modern, how about a remote-controlled model? There are models with a built-in bidet for saving precious floor space. Toilets are available in many styles, designs, and colors and can be selected to coordinate with your décor.
You’ll save a lot of money if your remodeling plan can utilize the existing plumbing for both the toilet and tub. If you select a new larger tub, will walls have to be moved to install it? There are things to think about besides what looks best. There are many styles of bath sinks to choose from today. You’re not limited to the standard white porcelain bowl. Your options are many, including glass, marble, granite or ceramic free-standing bowls to molded Corian and faux marble. In most cases, your budget will determine which you’ll select.
The cabinets you select will not only set the style for your room, but will also provide storage for all that you expect to have in your bathroom. Even stock cabinets from a home improvement center come in many colors, styles, and materials. If you have a more generous budget, you can upgrade to custom cabinets with complementary moldings.
Flooring in the bath is traditionally tile, whether ceramic, marble, granite, or terra cotta. What you choose will be determined both by what look you want and how much your budget allows for this choice.
Lighting in a bathroom must be functional, but can also be beautiful and mood-setting. For make-up application and shaving you’ll want bright light. If you love to take a relaxing soak in a hot tub, you’ll want to be sure you can dim the lights!
The faucets on the sink, tub, shower, and toilet, as well as the handles and pulls on the cabinets will serve as the jewelry for the room and should be chosen with great care. Whether you select traditional polished chrome or the newer styles of brushed nickel or antiqued bronze, these items will be the finishing touch on a major transformation.
Decorating the bathroom, whether it means a fresh coat of paint or a total remodel or something PrestigeCore LLC Home Remodeling is here to help. We can help with decor ideas, picking out cabinetry and lighting, choose matching colors to compliment your home, and provide you with drawings of the final project.

SileStone Countertops vs Granite Countertops
Through superior strength, incredible beauty and an unparalleled distribution network, Silestone is rapidly becoming the choice for discerning consumers.
Natural Beauty
Silestone offers a sophisticated elegance and timeless beauty. The natural quartz in Silestone delivers distinctive depth, brilliant clarity, glimmering radiance and a cool, solid feel unique to natural stone.
Versatility
Silestone can be used in virtually any indoor surfacing application in kitchens, bathrooms and floors, including: countertops, island tops, vanities, tub and shower surrounds, backsplashes, walls, wet bars, tabletops, desktops, fireplace surrounds and more.
Widespread Availability
In North America, Silestone is available through approximately 3,500 retailers including The Home Depot®, e-counters.com, as well as a variety of kitchen and bath retailers, cabinet shops, tile/flooring outlets, designers' showrooms, architectural firms, builders, and more.
Scratch-Resistance
The quartz in Silestone makes it naturally scratch-resistant. Only three other natural minerals - diamond, sapphire and topaz - are harder than quartz. Quartz is a seven on Mohs Hardness Scale (diamond is a 10).
So, while a careless slip of the knife will scratch most other countertops such as laminates and solid surfaces, it won't leave a mark on Silestone. Although Silestone is durable, it is not scratch-proof; it could be damaged with excessive force or pressure.
Stain-Resistance
Silestone is non-porous and therefore it is highly resistant to stains from coffee, wine, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, makeup, and many other common household products. Unlike granite, Silestone does not need to be sealed to keep its lustrous shine.
Scorch-Resistance
Unlike solid surfaces and laminates, Silestone is scorch-resistant. It will withstand limited exposure to heat without burning or scorching. The fire of a lit match will not mar Silestone. However, as advised by crock pot and electric skillet manufacturers, do not place these items directly on any countertop. Always use trivets when placing hot items on any natural stone or quartz surface to avoid thermal shock.
Strength
Silestone has four times the flexural strength of granite, making it less susceptible to chipping and cracking during transportation and installation.
Maintenance-Free
Because it is non-porous, Silestone does not need to be sealed. Granite, marble and limestone, on the other hand, must be sealed on installation and resealed regularly to prevent staining. Silestone is a maintenance-free star compared to solid surfaces that may require rigorous maintenance to clean up tough stains, scratches and scorch marks.
Colors and Edges
Silestone is available in a wide array of dazzling colors, from conservative neutral hues, to daring bright colors, ensuring that there is a Silestone color to suit most any style or taste. Silestone delivers a uniformity and consistency that allows for virtually unlimited edge designs.
Experience and Professionalism
Silestone is available through a mature network of dedicated distributors and fabricators backed by the experience of Cosentino with more than 70 years in the natural stone industry. Plus, Certified Silestone Installers are trained through a unique curriculum that includes expert, hands-on training.
Innovation
Silestone leads its category in innovative ideas for a product that already is known for its ingenious physical properties and customer benefits. Silestone offers the most colors in natural quartz; the most innovative sink installation methods, such as integrated, flush- and bevel-mounted; and the latest, newest products such as the exclusive Silestone® Leather™ with Microban®.

Remodeling Market Increases!!!!!
Due to the ever crashing market, declining home sales, and foreclosures the homeowners that are able to keep their mortgages are choosing to stay put with their investments and upgrade their homes. 
Remodeling helps with all types of the property market by increasing the value and the appeal of the home. The home owner can ask for higher values in the sales market, and gain more exposure in that price bracket for the newer upgrades. Simple kitchen cabinets, counter top and flooring upgrades are the main selling points for all homes. The bathrooms are the second most important factor in the homes appeal. Most clients are now asking for Travertine flooring, matching shower tiles, and a closet design for the master bathroom area, with special emphasis on the jacuzzi tubs and his/her toilet commodes. For normal 3 bedroom homes the cost of entire remodeling can start off around $3,000 and can rise up to the value of the home itself depending on what the clients wish for.
A good way to start your project, is to find out what you are willing to spend in each area, conform to a budget for the entire project and be realistic. A lot of clients want to start off with a small budget in mind, yet once they walk a contractor through the project they have already upgraded what they want. Another good point is to think a little more long term, and how a little more money into the project will increase the quality and the overall image of the remodel. For example, If you are looking to remodel the kitchen, but do no want to spend the extra money on the counter tops for stone, you will not create the same effect and will probably wish that you had spent the extra 2-3 thousand and really make the kitchen special a year or two later.
Another great tip into remodeling is to re-paint the outside of the home so that it feels newer with the interior upgrades. Landscaping is something anybody can do with a little time and sweat, but nobody can hide a bad paint job.

"Invest in Your Nest" We can help increase the value of your Home today!!
The following is an excerpt from the book "Invest in Your Nest" by Barbara Kavovit.
Grow the Space You Have
Transforming existing raw space into an extra bedroom, a playroom, or a guest or master suite is an affordable way to make your house bigger. You can also winterize an unheated sunroom or porch to transform a two- or three-season room into a year-round retreat. You can transform a two-bedroom, two-bath house into a "new" three-bedroom, three-bathroom house just by making your unused space livable!
Be Your Own Project Manager
Finishing the existing raw space in your home for livability requires the help of specialists in several trades: plumbing, carpentry, electrical, and others, including flooring and possibly stoneworking for tile work.
So while it's not a do-it-yourself job, you can manage the project yourself and become your own general contractor. That way, you'll save money and choose and work with the tradespeople whom you really like. Managing the project gives you tremendous control over personnel, quality control, and finishes.
You're the boss! Here are the basic steps you'll want to follow:
Set aside some time
Expect to spend from 1 to several hours a day for several months dealing with some aspect of the renovation. Managing the transformation of any space in your home does not require you to be on-site every minute, but you do have to check in often, inspect the work as it progresses, pay bills, consult with the tradespeople who are on the site, coordinate with and schedule the tradespeople who need to come in, make sure the site is organized safely and in a way that protects workers (and therefore your liability), monitor rubbish removal, and troubleshoot.
Determine Your Budget
Every decision you make flows from your budget, from how much to spend on flooring to how fancy you want your bathroom fixtures to be.
Decide How You Want to Use the Space
Will it be an extra bedroom and bath, a family room, or a children's playroom? The function will help inform many of the finishes you choose. For example, a children's playroom may benefit from a hardwood floor partially covered by a large rug. How elaborate do you want the bathroom to be? If you are transforming a space into a master suite, the bathroom should have double vanities and a glass enclosure for the shower, which should have extra wall and overhead showerheads.
Once you have made your decisions, Call us at PrestigeCore Home Remodeling LLC and we can help!!! (407)256-0397
