The Home & Garden Show Season is upon us! Every year for a few weeks in February and March, the area's best in Home Construction, Remodeling, and Landscaping get together in one central location to show the Valley what they have to offer them and they usually do it with some great deals in hand! 

Without a doubt, the two most important things when building a house is the foundation and framing! They are like the two thick slices of bread that hold the sandwich together. You wouldn't want wimpy bread and we don't want wimpy framing! Here is a quick video to show how we frame a house here at Joe Koch Construction ( see if you can spot Joe Jr.!).

Part 2- Bathroom Trends: Adding Color

Bathrooms seem to be the unsung hero of our home. They welcome us in the morning and are usually the last room we visit before we go to sleep. Yet, how often do we really look around our bathrooms and think about how to make the space better, more tranquil, more special?

There are a number of different ways that a bathroom can get a facelift without ripping it out completely and starting new. One of them is to change the colors of the room. 

Part 1- Kitchen Trends: Artistic Upgrades

We all know that the top two rooms to remodel are the Kitchen and Bathrooms. In this two part series, we will look at the latest trends in both those rooms and how to maximize them within your budget.

With the kitchens, if you’re looking at outdated cabinetry and countertops, then the glaring answer is to upgrade those. But what exactly should you do? You could just go to the box stores and grab the first set of cabinets that catch your eye and be done with it. No real thought as to what is trending or how it works within your home. Add a mediocre countertop that doesn’t have scratches or stains and viola, up dated kitchen.

But there is so much more that you could do!
