Project Spotlight: Luxurious Bathroom Remodel in Kinnelon, NJ
Our goal at RWC is to provide our customers with everything they need when it comes to doors, windows, and other remodeling projects. Your home is your castle, and should reflect that fact. We believe you’ll love our service as we not only educate our customers about their options, but we listen to what you really want when you contact us.
When you come to us with the ideas you have about making your castle fit your needs better in how it looks and feels, we let you know the choices that you have open to you without trying to pinhole you into a specific brand we carry. Our services will provide you with all you need for your kitchen and bathroom remodels, decorative glass, windows, doors, and pre-finishing. Below is a project spotlight from one of our very satisfied customers in Kinnelon, NJ.
One past customer states, "We found RWC through searching the Internet. Every aspect of the project from design to completion was handled professionally and to our satisfaction. Ours was a bathroom remodel of our only bathroom in the home. RWC worked diligently to minimize our inconvenience and completed the project in 10 working days. All of their workers were polite, professional and interested in doing their job to our satisfaction. Ashley was great and very patient with my 100's of texts and questions. We would highly recommend RWC they are a great family owned and operated business and we would use them again."
To get to this point of satisfaction, we take all of our customers through the same process. We start with our initial design consultation. We come into your home to help get a feel for the project. We listen to your wish list, and then help guide you through what the construction process will be like to achieve your desired changes. At this time, we take measurements and pictures along with examining any potential issues that could impact your design. A basic budget is then discussed.
Our next stage is the design presentation and draft proposal. This is when you come to us at our Design Center to pick the products we’ll install during the remodeling process. At this point, we’ll help you make your choices while keeping you within your desired budget.
The final stage is the project proposal and contract. This is when we take everything that has previously been determined and create your written proposal and the drawing of the proposed remodel. Additional ideas and designs can be gone over at this time to help you to get what you want out of your remodel. Then, after the contract is signed, we will order materials, introduce you to the Lead Carpenter, and go forward with creating the remodel timeline.
Our clients for today’s project spotlight entrusted us with their only bathroom, and now have one that fits their needs better. The new enclosed tub offers a luxurious spa feel with the enclosure, tile, and fixture choices. The vanity now offers a nice touch with plenty of bathroom storage space that will help give their bathroom a less cluttered look with a place for everything.

Home Sweet Home: Renovations and Your Home’s Value
If you're a homeowner, you've probably thought about renovating your home at one time or another. You may want to restore your home for structural or aesthetic reasons. As the owner of your home, you naturally want your home to look nice and to not be falling apart! Improving the quality of your home seems like a good investment, but is it?
Contrary to popular belief, some renovations can decrease the value of your home. For instance, moderately renovating your kitchen (on a reasonable budget) is a good idea and can improve the worth of your home. But, according to U.S. News, dropping tens of thousands of dollars on completely restyling your kitchen so that it looks more like the ones you see on your favorite gourmet cooking TV show can make your house less appealing to future potential buyers. They may not be as crazy about having a fancy kitchen as you may be, so they won't want to pay for it.
The same goes for bathrooms and even specialized rooms (like a sunroom or an indoor movie theater). Renovating traditional rooms so that they're high-class or high-tech, adding in nontraditional rooms, or even installing that hot tub you've always wanted may seem like upright investments, since they add appeal, which adds to the overall worth of your home. But, this is not the case.
Again, future potential buyers are most likely working on a budget or are just not interested in paying extra for things you might like, but they might not need, or for all that extra space you created. These factors and possibilities make your house less appealing and therefore of lesser value.
These issues are why renovating your home can be a huge waste of your time and money. Your time and money are just as valuable as your home, right? At first, restoring your home may seem worth the cost and commitment but as stated above. Most of the time it's not worth it since you'll only be decreasing the value of your home when you want to be increasing it.
If you're going to renovate any aspect of your house, renovate responsibly. Keeping up with the Joneses is not worth your home losing any of its value. Renovate your kitchen or your bathroom on a tight budget—it's possible under only $1,000! Also, don't knock down rooms you need, like a patio or a garage, for things you don't need, like a swimming pool.

Increase Your Home's Value With These Fun Renovations
When you purchased your home, it was probably the home of your dreams. It fit all of your needs and was just right for your family. Time has moved on, and you’re starting to notice that your home doesn’t fit your needs like it used to. You may even be thinking about putting it on the market and finding a new home, but you may not have to take that drastic a step just yet.
It may be time to look at some fun renovations that can make your home fit your needs once again. Even better, it can increase your home's value for when it comes time to take out an equity loan or get better bids when you sell your home. Here are some fun renovations that will put the sparkle back into your home while helping your home increase in value in the long run.
Kitchen
Some people advise to skip an expensive kitchen remodel, and it’s true that going overboard with a luxury kitchen remodel may not earn you the return on investment you’d like, but a kitchen remodel can still offer a great deal of value if you focus on the important aspects. U.S. News and World Report had an article on renovations that showed that homeowners who perform a minor kitchen remodel can see an 82.7 percent return on investment.
One of the reasons you may be unhappy with your home is that the kitchen feels cluttered and the flow is wrong. Some areas to focus on with your kitchen remodel include layout, cabinetry, adding an island, and making more space for storage. These minor renovation projects will help improve the flow of your space, and make it more useable for your family. You’ll be able to finally pick up the extra gadgets and gizmos you’ve always wanted for cooking, but never had a place to put. Plus, people love updated kitchens.
Bathroom
People love kitchens, but they also love bathrooms. This is where you go to relax in a hot shower or get ready for the day. A bathroom remodel is another excellent investment to increase value in your home. You can install a new bathtub or even an enclosed shower, add beautiful tile, get a new countertop, update your fixtures, and more, to give your bathroom a facelift that makes it feel more like a luxury spa than a room in your home.
Not only are you increasing your home's value and the usefulness of the space, but you may also be saving yourself money in the long run. New shower, sink, and toilet fixtures are often more efficient than your old fixtures when it comes to water conservation. This means that your family will be using less water in their daily routines than before, and your water bill will decrease.
Curb Appeal
Maybe you’re pretty happy with your home’s layout and setup. You might even think that nothing needs to be done with it and that there aren’t any ways to improve the value of your home. Perhaps it is time to stop thinking about inside the home, and step outside.
Your home’s entryway may need an update. Believe it or not, the same article from U.S. News and World Report shows that front door replacements net a 96.6 percent return on investment with just that one small update.
Real estate agents aren’t crazy when they talk about curb appeal. The way your home looks on the outside influences the first impression that others will get from your home. If it doesn’t look welcoming or inviting, potential buyers may not even step inside to see how amazing it looks. Giving the front of your home a facelift not only helps to increase your home's value for that day when you may put it on the market, but it also gives you a home you can be proud to show off.
RWC is here for you when it comes time to finding ways to increase the value of your home. Our company is different in that we take the time to listen to what our customers need and want, and help you to find the solutions that will work in your current home that makes it better. We handle everything in-house for you, and all of our installers are factory trained to know the right way to go about your installation.
No matter if you’re looking to complete a small project, like a new door, or large project, like revamping your kitchen layout, we’re here for you. Check out our services to see how we can help you to turn your old home into the home of your dreams.
