Updating, better use of space, and improving the looks are just some of the reasons homeowners remodel their homes. A 4-time repeat Wood Wise client had an additional reason for her renovation. Read her comments from a recent follow-up email: “Everything is working as expected.  We had made changes to our downstairs bathroom to accommodate Steve’s recovery from knee replacement surgery (and it desperately needed updating) and the remodel has stood up to all of our expectations. Also, the powder room constantly gets compliments! The Wood Wise team did an awesome job as always and we thank you all for…

Holidays are a great revealer of the state of our homes. With friends and family gathering, we often find out how convenient (or inconvenient) the kitchen is, whether doorways create traffic jams, or if seating arrangements are awkward.

The world of remodeling is not usually known for fostering loving relationships between the remodeler and the homeowner.

From the first appointment to working together in the design development, and especially through the construction process, our goal is to treat all our homeowners with kindness and thoughtfulness. We genuinely aim to be friends. Nurturing these relationships results in homeowners turning to Wood Wise for second, third, and even…

Compact spaces call for creative solutions. This powder room has a small vanity which required a smaller sink. As with all the selections, WW designer Kathy Walker helped the homeowner with the pros and cons of the sinks at Fergusons. This decorative vessel-type sink with the bronze-finished single faucet fits the space well and makes this bathroom stylish for family and guests.

Today’s toilets can be one-piece or two-piece, skirted or non-skirted, have elongated bowls or round, and be comfort or standard height. And these are just some of the considerations. The choices on sinks and faucets is even wider.…
