National Association of the 

Remodeling Industry 

(NARI) Certified Professionals 

The 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? 

Deciding 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?

There’s more 

living space 

when you 

consider the 

outdoors. 


HOMEOWNERS CONTINUE TO INVEST IN EXTENDING THE HOME OUTSIDE 

The 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. 

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. Check out hpba. 

org for more information about planning an outside space and finding 

the right products and contractors. 

Spring | Summer 2015 


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 #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 #3: 

Outdoor Kitchens 

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! 

Trend #4: 

Water Features 

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 #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 #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 #7: 

Edible Landscapes 

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! 

Trend #8: 

Smart Outdoor 

Lighting 

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. 


Natural Gas delivers 

more for your home

projects you add style, comfort and incredible savings. 

• Precise temperature control in the kitchen or 

at the outdoor grill 

• Endless hot water without the tank, and up to

natural gas appliances

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? 

Aside 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 

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.

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 

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 

The 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. 

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.

Tampa Bay Chapter 

Residential Kitchen $60,001 to $100,000 

Van Selow Design Build, LLC 

DRAMATIC 

NEW KITCHEN 

The kitchen and dining room area of this vintage property were dark, gloomy and uninviting. 



The 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 

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.

WHEN SPRING ARRIVES WILL YOUR DECK BE READY 

1 2 3 

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. 

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.

CotY Tampa Bay Chapter

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. 

They 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. 

Saving a 

Beachfront 

Condo 

Stuck in 

Transformation out from the 80’s 

The King Contracting crew got right to work, removing a “Luma- 

Dome” 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.

Residential Interior $75,000 to $150,000 


1985 

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 Jeld- 

Wen 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! 


“ 

Our beachfront condo was 

elegant when we acquired it – 

1985 elegant,” Bob chuckles. 

“When Doug and the King 

Contracting team finished, it 

was night and day.” 


Volunteers, corporate partnerships and zero-interest 

mortgages make the homeownership dream 

possible through Habitat for Humanity’s program. 

Since 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

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.

Our 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. 

Residential Interior $75K - $150K 

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 

“EACH TIME WE WALK INTO 

OUR BEACH GETAWAY WE 

FEEL AT PEACE. THIS IS 

EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED 

AND WE HAVE SUSANNE TO 

THANK FOR THAT.” 

5/8” dovetail with full extension slow close glides 

and slow close doors. 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. 

The Living Area 

We removed the soffit (hiding the A/C duct) 

from the kitchen area and redirected the soffit 

through the 2nd bedroom to open the water 

view from the kitchen to the living room. 

The Master Bathroom 

Our client needed a master bathroom that was 

functional for their everyday needs. One of the 

“AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 

PROJECT MY WIFE AND I 

FELT LIKE WE HAD FOUND A 

PERSON WE COULD TRUST 

WITH OUR DREAMS.” SAID 

STEVEN SLOAN. 

biggest concerns was increasing the size of the 

bathroom. 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. 

The Hall Bath 

The hall bath stands out with its new custom 

all-wood solid maple painted vanity cabinet and 

granite countertop. This bathroom has easy 

access from both guest bedrooms. 

We added a vanity light, and changed the wall 

color to an inviting, light blue color. This gave the 

bathroom the uplifting, beach-like feel that our 

clients so desperately wanted in their home.

From the Standpoint of a Realtor: 

Remodel, Buy 

or 

Build New 

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. 

Written by Rachel Sartain 

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. 


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 

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 

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 

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.
