A bathroom remodel can breathe new life into your home. If done correctly it will provide a fresh, functional space to relax and rejuvenate. But before you jump in, it's important to have a clear idea of the potential bathroom remodel costs. The size and upgrades you want, along with the materials you choose, will all impact your bottom line. Local market conditions will also have an influence on the final price. BUILDING TRUST BLOG BATHROOM REMODEL COST Are you considering a bathroom remodel in South Carolina? < Back Will Cord 2023-09-20 A bathroom remodel can breathe new life into your home. If done correctly it will provide a fresh, functional space to relax and rejuvenate. But before you jump in, it's important to have a clear idea of the potential bathroom remodel costs. The size and upgrades you want, along with the materials you choose, will all impact your bottom line. Local market conditions will also have an influence on the final price. Below are some key factors to keep in mind before starting your bathroom remodel. This is a practical guide for avoiding sticker shock as you plan your bathroom remodel. Bathroom Size The size of the bathroom is a significant factor in determining the cost of a remodel, small bathroom remodel costs will obviously be less than a larger bathroom as they use more materials, fixtures, and labor. Master bathroom remodel cost s, on the other hand, are typically more expensive as they are typically the largest bathroom in the home. Do you plan to make big changes to the layout, plumbing, or other modifications to the structure? This can also make the project more complicated and increase the price tag. Fixtures and Appliances Upgrades to existing bathroom fixtures and appliances affect the outcome. Toilets, sinks, faucets, showerheads, and bathtubs come in a range of price points. Choosing high-end or luxury fixtures will add to your bottom line. Opting for more affordable appliances can help you stay within your budget. Flooring and Wall Finishes Your choices for flooring and wall finishes will also impact the final cost of your remodel. Will you choose ceramic or porcelain tiles, vinyl, or natural stone? Each option includes a variety of styles and price points. The more complex the cuts and the size of the bathroom will also affect the cost. Consider your style, durability and maintenance when making your choice. Cabinetry and Storage Updated cabinets and storage solutions can make your bathroom more functional and stylish. The cost of cabinets depends on the materials, design complexity, and storage options. Custom-made or high-end cabinets will be more expensive than prefabricated or in-stock options. Storage needs and budget are important factors, but like anything be careful how much quality you sacrifice. Going “too cheap” could cost you more in the long run. Lighting and Electrical Work Enhanced lighting in your bathroom can create a more inviting and functional space. But you will need to consider the price of fixtures, wiring, and any necessary electrical work. An upgrade to energy-efficient lights or adding task lights may result in extra electrical work, which adds to the overall cost. Labor and Professional Services The labor cost to remodel bathroom s are a significant component of any bathroom remodel. Hiring a professional contractor, plumber, and electrician results in a high-quality outcome. But this will also contribute to the cost. Choose wisely otherwise this could turn into the costly mistake of all. Trust is key. Use references, reviews and really good judgement before entrusting your bathroom to a contractor. Contractor horror stories abound. This is when a contractor comes across as competent and charming at the start but fails to deliver in a major way. Avoid that nightmare by choosing the right bathroom remodeling contractor! As outlined above, h ow much to renovate a bathroom depends on a variety of factors. The type of materials used, the type and size of your upgrades, and the professionals you choose all count. Establishing a realistic budget is the first and most important thing you can do. Next, rank the items that are most important to you. Your contractor or remodeling pro can help you estimate the cost of each item on your list. By understanding cost drivers, you can make the best decisions. This will lead to a beautiful and functional bathroom design within your budget and become your favorite room to rest.

Project Manager Daniel Bailey narrates video of his renovation. BUILDING TRUST BLOG PM PERSPECTIVE Project Manager Daniel Bailey narrates video of his renovation. < Back Will Cord 2023-03-04 Here are two things everyone should know before hiring a contractor to transform their home. First, custom renovations can't be replicated. No 2 are alike. As a wise sage at Daniel Builders frequently says, "We're not building widgets." Not only does the scope of work vary from project to project, every home is completely different. So, producing the same thing never happens, hence the word " custom ". Second, no 2 General Contractors are alike. Each GC has a different approach, different standards and yes different outcomes. That's why it's a terrible idea to bid a project exclusively on price. Pardon the cliché', but you're not comparing "apples to apples". All that to say, a custom renovation usually comes down to one person being tasked to produce the right outcome. That's the Project Manager. A highly competent project manager has the best perspective on all that a custom renovation entails. In this video one of our project managers narrates the scope and challenges of his project. He's good at narrating, but as you'll see he's even better at his day job, being a project manager.

Today, we’re focusing on commercial remodels. In this blog, you’ll meet Tim Cutliff. Tim is a recent hire who plays an integral part in developing the Daniel Builders Commercial Division! Building Trust Blog (BTB): Tell us a little about your background in commercial construction. Tim: I’ve been a project manager in commercial construction for over ten years, managing a range of projects from small tenant upfits to various new construction projects. BTB: What factors make a commercial remodel successful? Tim: Good client/builder communication. Trust is huge. When trust is lost, everything is impacted. From a business standpoint, losing trust means you’re not likely to have repeat business. BTB: What are some of the major differences between a commercial remodel and a residential remodel? Tim: There are similarities, but differences might include the scale of work. As a homeowner, you have a different level of sensitivity than you would with a commercial building. BTB: Who do you interact with in your role? Tim: I interact with commercial architects, commercial designers, commercial real estate brokers, property managers, building owners, and end users. BTB: What is the competitive advantage of using Daniel Builders for commercial projects? Tim: Having residential knowledge and experience is an advantage, which usually comes with more attention to detail and more focus on personal relationships. If you can succeed in residential then commercial is less challenging, even though they are different. BTB: What excites you most about your role in the Commercial division? Tim: 1. The relationships: strengthening existing relationships and building new ones while executing projects with a high standard of excellence. 2. Honoring God in my work and doing my work for the glory of God as Colossians 3:23 talks about. BTB: What’s next for the commercial division at Daniel Builders? Tim: We’re going to continue Building Trust, as previously established by the Daniel Builders brand. We’ll continue to uphold a high standard of excellence in projects large and small.

Whole home renovation started by stripping everything down to the studs before a complete transformation occurred. CONTEMPORARY OPEN CONCEPT Lake Keowee 2022 Bridge Award Bathroom Exterior Upgrade Kitchen Multi Room Whole Home At the project kick-off, the client sincerely asked, “Is this not the ugliest house you’ve ever seen?” They went on to describe their vision for their home which included a more modern feel, higher ceilings, more natural light, space to entertain friends and family and to be able to see straight through the entrance of the house to beautiful Lake Keowee. The original home had low ceilings, dark wood paneling on the walls and several small rooms that made entertaining very difficult. The clients desired a more modern look on the exterior which we achieved by raising the roof, adding some architectural interest at the entry, painting the stone and using a composite material on some of the siding and decking to give a wood look without the added maintenance. Some unique features of the inside of the house included: a vaulted ceiling with timber beams, wood slat wall in the bar area, a hidden pantry entrance in the kitchen, a Zen-like shower with loose stones in one master bath and tile slat walls and a walnut floating vanity in the other. Wood beams in the ceilings highlighted the drastic change in ceiling height as did the new clerestory windows. This home went from being a dark and dreary 1970’s ranch to a sleek contemporary lake home filled with lots of natural light and wood elements, reminding you that it is a lake house after all and it’s ALL about that VIEW!!

Tracking Trends in the Guide Design Build realm. BUILDING TRUST BLOG NEW YEAR SPECULATIONS Tracking Trends in the Guide Design Build realm. < Back Will Cord 2020-12-31 Tracking Trends in the Guide Design Build realm. As 2020 disappears in the rear-view, a simple question comes to mind. What will 2021 be like? We won’t attempt to delve into the societal/political/pandemic issues, but we do have some pretty clear ideas regarding residential renovations in the new year. Much of what is coming in 2021 is related to the new “way-of-life” that developed in 2020, a year many spent indoors. Daniel Builders has no crystal ball, and we’re not interested in endless speculation. Fortunately, crystal balls aren’t necessary. In 2021 these 7 aspects of your home will take on even greater significance. Adding Closet and Cabinetry Space - Clutter can become depressing quick. Especially if you’re looking at it all day every day. The goal is having the optimal amount of storage space to keep your home clutter-free. Cabinetry can be added to otherwise “dead” space and there are literally endless ways to upgrade your closet . Enhancing the RESTroom - More commonly known as the Bathroom, which is meant to be a place to escape, relax and recharge . And with the stress of this past year, such a room is even more vital to your home renovation. Taking walls down - Opening up your home (ie. removing walls) will continue to be trend in 2021. The non-load-bearing walls in your home typically are not difficult to remove . Something to keep in mind when your renovation includes the walls of a closet. As for a load-bearing wall, consulting with a structural engineer is always good idea. Creating a Productive Sanctuary - Home gyms and home office renovation projects are more common now more than ever. So, whether you’re working remotely or working out, you are likely working at home more. This means designing spaces to maximize your focus, motivation and productivity. Adding another dwelling - Multigenerational dwellings are trending up. This isn’t just for those extra-large homes either. It could be creating a mother-in-law suite in an existing structure, doing a major addition, or building an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Going Outside - In the coming year everything from outdoor kitchens to outdoor fireplaces will grow in popularity - an area of renovation referred to as hardscapes , and the options are truly limitless. The importance of hardscapes in 2021 is they will keep you from being “cooped up” inside. Improving the View - What do you want to look at on a daily basis? More than ever, home renovations will take into account the mood-altering impact of paint colors, flooring, décor , and lighting. Designers will be tasked with creating a home environment of positive vibes. These topics are great discussion starters when meeting with a renovation contractor. Our Design team (including architect and interior designers) are equipped to guide you through the process of enhancing your home in 2021. Speak with a Daniel Builders project guide by calling 864.506.5546 and discuss the best path forward for your custom renovation or get your renovation started here! One last thing. Happy New Year!

As you'll hear, Taylor is pretty well versed in this developing market. BUILDING TRUST BLOG THE RISE OF ADUs Taylor Lyles talks about ADU permitting and potential in Greenville SC. < Back Will Cord 2023-07-21 An ADU (Accessary Dwelling Unit) is secondary housing option. You may recognize them by other names such as Granny Flat, Guest House, Garage Apartment, or In-Law Suite. ADUs offer all the same characteristics of a home - kitchen, bedroom(s), bathroom - while sharing the same property as the primary house. An ADU may be attached or detached or even inside the primary house. They can benefit families who care for loved ones in a multi-generational home. ADUs also create rental income opportunities, provide office space or might be the perfect location for a new business.

An award winning master bathroom is recognized for renovation excellence in two categories Highest Degree of Difficulty and Best Innovation of Space. 2021 2021 BRIDGE AWARD WINNER (300K+) CONTEMPORARY LUXURY BATH Daniel Builders was named 2021 Bridge Award Winner for “Best Innovation of Space and Highest Degree of Difficulty in a Partial Home Remodel $300,000+” for the “Chamberlain Court” house. This project also received a Bridge Award for "Best Special Feature: Lighting." The Bridge Awards are presented annually by GBS Building Supply and produced by the Home Builders Association of Greenville to recognize excellence in craftsmanship and professionalism in the Home Building industry in the Upstate. "CUSTOM PROJECTS ALWAYS HAVE UNIQUE FEATURES. THES PROJECTS WERE ESPECIALLY UNIQUE. THEY INCLUDED SOME MASSIVE TILE IN THE BATHROOM AND SPECIALTY LIGHTING IN A CONVERTED CRAWL SPACE TURNED CELLAR." - BOB CORD, DANIEL BUILDERS Master Bath: Beyond upgrading the dated interior, some of the client’s biggest goals for this potential-filled 386 square feet of Master Bathroom space was to create better traffic flow, more shower space and additional closet storage. All existing interior was completely demolished at the start the of this renovation. Defining characteristics of this Design-Build renovation are custom floating vanities with MTI Baths Boutique Collection vanity tops and Integrated sinks, Isenburg matte black wall mounted faucets, B&F Marble Systems Marmara Avenza Light & Dolomite tile accent wall, dimmable backlit mirrors by IB Mirror, Sonneman LED wall sconces, and recessed custom shelving with LED backlighting. A custom zero entry tile shower was designed utilizing the Wet Style Feel Collection matte black shower base, B&F Elegance 24” x 48” Statuario matte porcelain tile walls and bench, and Isenburg matte black shower fixtures and body sprays. Flooring throughout the bathroom was B&F Elegance 24” x 48” Nero Marquina matte porcelain tile. Lighting for this renovation came via a Klus wall integrated LED system. As for bathing, a Barclay freestanding tub with Isenburg matte black tub filler was installed. No detail was overlooked during this Master Bathroom transformation from an outdated area to a delightful new space that thrilled the homeowners. Wine Cellar: The client’s vision for this hidden space, accessed via a secret passageway, was to incorporate elements of modern design to create a wine cellar of unequaled flair. “Before” photos reveal a dark, unrefined basement area prior to undergoing extreme transformation. The effort to convert the original wine cellar into a finished space began with the installation of a waterproofing system. Relocation of existing wiring, plumbing, and HVAC ducting followed, to create the necessary headroom for a finished ceiling. The most eye-catching aspect of this renovation is the lighting. Light sources include Klus wall and ceiling integrated LED strip lighting, LED backlighting for the wine rack, LED up lighting at custom floating shelves, and LED stair riser lighting. The homeowner’s inspiration for the ceiling was to create a lighting arrangement that appeared as “pick-up sticks” that were randomly dropped. A Silver Cloud leathered granite countertop with a mitered waterfall edge sits atop custom-built cabinetry, and is complemented by in-countertop pop-up receptacles, an Elkay quartz sink, and an Isenburg matte black faucet. Under the counter is a beverage cooler and an ice maker. The flooring consists of B&F Elegance 24” x 48” Nero Marquina matte porcelain tile, along with an accent strip of polished black pebbles below the sleek wine rack from STACT.
