Fun Facts about Counter Tops: Counter tops, or solid surfaces, (which they are sometimes referred to) are one of the most important parts of any kitchen or bathroom remodel. Why? Well, they cover your cabinets, they provide a working surface for you in the space, and they take up a lot of the space visually, so it’s nice if they are attractive as well as functional. Your counter tops and cabinets are usually the first selections made in a kitchen and bath remodel. They make the biggest visual impact, and they sit against each other, one on top of the other. Its best to choose them as a unit. Either pick your counter top to go with your cabinet choice, or pick your cabinet to go with your counter top choice. This a good place to begin your material selections for your project. These two can be the inspiration for all your other choices.

A lot of clients go into their Bathroom remodel thinking that because it’s a small space, this means that it will be a small budget. Not true! It’s a small space with a lot of moving parts and pieces behind the walls. So, if you are thinking that since you have never remodeled before and you’ll just get your feet wet with the bathroom, think twice. Bathrooms can often times be more complicated than a kitchen. There are a lot more choices to make.

Welcome to my first Blog Post: Remodel consultation services My name is Chris Maxwell. Some of you know me as the person that assisted you with your kitchen or bath remodel and as a former designer at Southwest Kitchen & Bath. While I enjoyed my work of almost 10 years at SWKB, and I gained lots of experience there regarding kitchen and bath remodeling, I felt there was a niche that needed to be filled. I am a designer first and a sales person second. This works well when you are passionate about helping people and sharing what you know. I feel that the knowledge I have gained in the Remodel industry is priceless . So I have found a way to share it and also earn a living doing what I love.
