Custom Granite and Marble Designs Raleigh

emi{D}y


I am going to try and help my mother remodel the house. She has decided since we use the kitchen the most, to start in it first. My mother and I have never really done any remodeling before, so I need some tips, like what to do first, and things like that.

I know she wants to get a new sink, and counter tops, along with painting the walls.

I am looking for any ideas, websites, and tips from experience.

Please help!!!!

My brother was doing an art project and spilled krazy glue everywhere on the granite countertops in the kitchen.

We moved into a ’40’s style home. The previous owners put plastic tirm molding on the tub (the kind you see in office buildings). We took the tirm off, but the adhesive stayed. We want to remodel but keep the tub if possible….
Does anyone know how to remove such adhesive off an old tub…or should we just invest in a new tub? Thanks!

I have new formica countertops, but they are dull not shiny. What can I use to make them shine like real granite?

I just bought my first little 2/1 starter condo. The place is pretty nice and spacious for 868 SqFt. Its in a great neighborhood. The living room is nice and the bathroom is descen but the kitchen is like a cave from hell. The kitchen is a boxed in 10×10 slum, pretty much the same as it was the day they completed it in 1987. Orange/yellow linoleum, old dark cabinets, beat up appliances and one dim light in the center.
I have the money to put into remodeling the kitchen to be quite nice. New lighting, maple cabinets, granite countertops, stone floors and stainless steel appliances. Here in NorCal kitchens get the money on a resell. The dilemma is, do I want to sink that kind of money and effort into a place that will scare away “starter home buyers” or do I want to go for it and appeal to the higher end bachelor/bachelorette? Any suggestions?
I do plan on living in it for about 5 years to build some nice equity. I would like to live with the nicer kitchen, but I would be content with a less extravagant kitchen that would cost thousands less.
Good answers so far…I was thinking about the fact that the kitchens in the other unit’s for sale in the complex are updated, somewhat, but are still 10 years old and not impressive. That’s why I picked mine, besides the best location in the complex; it had the oldest kitchen with the lowest asking price.

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go “all out” on the remodel or hold back and just do a “nice” remodel. I am definitely doing more than just some painting on cabinets and a tile backsplash.

I am trying to be as cheap as I can while redoing my kitchen and thought about trying to make my own cabinets. I really can’t afford to spend a whole bunch.
