HOMEOWNERS COMMENTS continued

at remodels, but we spent a lot of time figuring out our wish list that we then took to the designer to put into action.

What amenities were must-haves? What were some you wanted but ultimately discarded?

We wanted a bigger shower. Our old shower was so small! Also, two sinks was a must. One of the real issues with the old bathroom was that it was very difficult for two of us to get ready in the morning at the same time because the shower, toilet and sink were all in the same area. With the remodel, we have so much room! It is hard to believe that the walls are in the same place! We were going to put in a heated towel rack and a half wall for the shower, but ultimately decided it made more sense from a spacing standpoint with the tub and the windows to have all glass doors on the shower and to not have the heated towel rack.

Was the process easier or more difficult than expected? Any pleasant surprises?

A little of both. You never know what you are going to find until you start tearing things apart, so we ended up with some unanticipated plumbing issues that made it a bit more difficult. However, the contractor and subcontractors were so good about their work and how they isolated the bathroom that the job was much less disruptive to our household that we might have anticipated, especially for a second-story room remodel!

How long did it take to complete?

Just over two months.

Was it disruptive at all during the construction phase?

Honestly, Brendan Payton of Payton Customs was our contractor and he was the best! The disruption to our household was minimal and he always made sure we knew what was coming up next so that we could anticipate any issues that might occur. D
