PROJECT LOCATION: Waccabuc, Lewisboro, NY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION, as told by the homeowner: Think about
walking into a dark, damp, cold cave every time you wanted to take a shower.
Would you look forward to taking a shower? I avoided that shower
mostly and would use my son’s bathroom to shower. My husband and I knew from
day one when we bought the house that we would have to do something to make
the master bathroom more inviting and functional. Besides the cave
like shower, our bathroom had no storage and lacked style of any kind, it
was freezing in the winter and hot in the summer, one sink and mirror was
not working for us and the old toilet was wasting water every time we
flushed. As if this was not enough to make us update the bathroom, the
shower plumbing sprung a leak that could not be fixed without major repairs.
We used our son’s bathroom until we could figure out what our plan of action
was going to be.
After many hours of researching and calling references we finally invited
Absolute Remodeling to transform our master bathroom. They started
with gutting the whole bathroom. Then high-efficiency insulation was
installed on all exterior walls and they added in-floor heating w/
programmable thermostat. Our bathroom was fitted with a bigger and
more energy efficient window to let added natural light into the room and in
addition it makes the room feel bigger. Even though the placement of the
toilet did not change the new Toto toilet uses lower water consumption than
the previous toilet. The new all-glass shower enclosure uses Fantech’s
inline ventilation system that is an effective component to this new
bathroom. Storage was no longer an issue for us after Absolute
Remodeling custom designed and built the cherry wood vanity, mirrors and the
tub panels. One of the biggest visual differences in this bathroom is
that the vanity and tub have traded places. The new ceramic tiles,
marble countertop, pocket doors and wainscot all play a part in making this
efficient bathroom a cozy retreat.
Our new master bathroom is so inviting that our 5 year old son does not want
to use his own bathroom anymore. My husband enjoys the new shower and
can not say enough about the craftsmanship of the cherry cabinetry that
graces our bathroom. As for me, I got exactly what I wanted an
efficient, inviting retreat with storage. We want to thank Sylvain and
his crew for a job well done.
