2018 has arrived! With the new year, it is a great time to consider ways to upgrade and update your everyday. New year, new kitchen? Yes, please! As you prepare for the winter and for a few months indoors, why not set your sights on remodeling your home’s interior? But, be sure to call the experts in the area, Titus Contracting. As remodeling contractors for St Paul, we have compiled a list of some of the best remodeling projects to tackle this winter to help revamp your home for the new year.

Kitchen/Bathroom Remodeling

Kitchen or bathroom remodeling are great projects to work on during the colder months. For one, you won’t have to worry about any of your home being exposed to wind, cold and other elements. The reason being, for the most part these types of projects won’t require construction on the exterior of the home. When you have the experienced remodeling contractors at Titus Contracting running your project, you can expect a very exciting transformation and exceptional return on your investment. And another thing, planning your project and selecting fixtures can be a nice distractions from the harsh weather outside.

Lower Level Remodeling

Since the basement is already part of the home and is completely indoors, this is a great winter project. When you hire us as your remodeling contractors, we won’t have to leave any areas of your home open to the outdoor elements. Additionally, winter is typically a slower time in the remodeling business which can mean better pricing and tighter control of schedules.

At Titus Contracting, our remodeling contractors can build you a basement you’ll love to hang out in. If your home has a basement that is being used only as a storage area, why not turn it into a great place to hang out? From a new office space to an extra bedroom for the in-laws to a home theater, there are many ways to transform your basement.

New Flooring Installation

Winter is a great time of year to have new flooring installed by our remodeling contractors. Consider hardwood floors or new luxury vinyl perhaps. This time of year, the air is dry, so that helps to prevent gapping in the boards. Planning a vacation? While you are traveling to some warm destination we can quickly and professionally complete this type of remodeling project and have it ready for you when you return.

Titus Contracting Completes Beautiful Kitchen and Main Level Remodel

Titus Contracting completed a main level and kitchen remodel in Edina, Minnesota. Recent remodeling designs have been trending toward bright, open spaces that incorporate both function and energy efficiency. Our clients in Edina were looking to open up their dark and cramped kitchen and turn the main level of their home into a beautiful open-concept space.

One of the main challenges Titus faced in this remodel was finding a way to remove load bearing walls so the space could be opened up in their home. With some creative engineering and design, we were able to make this happen for our clients. After opening up the space, our crew was put to work updating it to make it brighter and more contemporary. This included completing a full kitchen remodel, upgrading the millwork to larger white enamel woodwork and updating finishes throughout the space.

The new kitchen features white cabinets (some with glass inset doors), quartz counter tops, tile backsplash, gourmet appliances and LED recessed lighting under the cabinets and inside the glass door cabinets. New hardwood floors were installed throughout the main level creating a consistent flow throughout the space. The stair railings were also given a more contemporary makeover using a combination of iron and wood.

Titus Contracting was happy to deliver this dream open space to our deserving clients. Together, we created a great family meeting space, where meals can be shared and daily happenings discussed, making it not only a beautiful new space, but a functional space as well.

Tips for Creating Your Perfect Living Space

When it comes to our homes, most of us want a space that truly shows off who we are. It may reflect our hobbies and interests, our line of work, or perhaps our family heritage, but in some way or another, as homeowners, we like to put our personalized touch on our home. It is these personal touches in design, décor and even architecture that make the walls of our house become a space we call home.

If you are new to design or perhaps have recently gotten the urge to customize your home, it can be somewhat overwhelming – but don’t panic. Instead, take a few minutes to bring in some design pros, as well as a professional contractor to help you determine what can – or cannot – be done with your space. By consulting with professionals, you can develop a plan based on the structural capabilities of your home, as well as its design potential.

For home remodeling in St Paul, you can rely on Titus Contracting. We can help with both the design and implementation of your project. As you begin the process of creating that perfect living space, here are some tips and ideas to consider:

• Plan, plan, plan. This is absolutely the most important part of the process. Pay close attention to what the contractor tells you is possible with your space. Just because you want to take out a wall between the kitchen and living room, doesn’t mean you can, structurally. Once you know what type of structural changes can be made, it is safe to move ahead.
• Be budget savvy. All home remodeling projects come with a price tag. Know what you can and can’t afford and be realistic with your expectations. Also, keep in mind that unforeseen things are sure to come up so have some cushion room in your budget to account for added expenses.
• Love your kitchen. For many families, the kitchen is the heart of the home, so why not show off your personality with custom cabinetry? Whether it’s with unique wood designs, a custom-built table, inset shelving, bar, natural stone countertops, an unconventional paint pattern, or other features, the kitchen is a great space to show off your style.
• Bring the outside in. Do you have a room that needs extra light? We can discuss adding a large picture window. Go a stop further by adding a decorative window seat, complete with shelves or a hidden storage area. Now, you’ll have have extra seating, storage and more light!
• Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Consider having custom furniture, bookshelves or other woodworking included to show off your style. There are many ways to put a fresh spin on a traditional space.
• More than a washroom. Are you ready to stop thinking of your bathroom as just a necessary space in the home? We can turn your basic bathroom into a home spa with custom counters and cabinets, textured finishes, a Jacuzzi tub and more.

Designing the perfect living space is about finding what makes you happy and incorporating that in your home design. If you need help with more ideas or are ready to start your St Paul home remodeling process, Contact Titus Contracting.
