Findlay Quality Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling: Custom Renovation, Upgrade, & Design

Kitchen Remodeling

How easily you can cook, move, and open cabinets depends on measurements made before a kitchen remodel begins. The sink, stove, and refrigerator form a work triangle, and the paths between them should usually total between 13 and 26 feet, so the main work areas stay close without feeling cramped. Cabinet runs also need proper clearance around appliances, islands, doors, and walkways before finish selections are ordered.

Kitchen cabinets have to support daily storage while standing up to constant use. Cabinets certified by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (KCMA) are tested with loaded shelves, thousands of open-and-close cycles on doors and drawers, and exposure to spills, heat, and household chemicals. Those tests give the kitchen a stronger foundation for storage, hardware, and countertop support. The base cabinets must be level before quartz or granite countertops are templated, so small errors do not show up in the seams, overhangs, and edges. Under-cabinet LED task lighting brightens prep zones along the backsplash. Code-compliant plumbing, electrical, and ventilation work keeps your finished kitchen safe, efficient, and built for daily use.

Bathroom Remodeling

A well-planned bathroom keeps moisture away from materials it can damage. Cement backer board gives tile walls and surrounds a stable surface that will not swell like drywall, while a waterproofing membrane adds the real protection layer behind the finished surface. Pressure-balanced anti-scald shower valves help prevent sudden temperature swings. Near sinks, tubs, and showers, GFCI-protected outlets — ground-fault circuit interrupters that cut power the instant electricity leaks toward water — reduce electrical risk.

Once your bathroom remodel is finished, properly sized exhaust ventilation helps protect the room from moisture. Gut-to-finish bathroom remodeling can include vanities, tile, shower glass, and slip-resistant flooring, along with fixtures from established brands with readily available parts like Delta, Moen, Kohler, and American Standard. Each selection gets checked against the layout, plumbing rough-in, electrical plan, and clearances before the room is rebuilt.

Custom Showers & Tub-to-Shower Conversions

A failing shower can leak into the framing long before the damage shows on the wall. Custom shower work therefore starts with the parts that control water, including the base, drain, valve, and wall system. Low-threshold and barrier-free shower bases reduce the daily step-over, while slip-resistant textured flooring gives wet feet better grip. Water-efficient fixtures cut water use without making the shower feel weak.

Replacing a tub with a shower can make the bathroom safer and easier to use while giving you more room to move. A tub-to-shower conversion begins with controlled demolition and same-day haul-away of the old tub. We rework the drain and valve for the new shower base, then seal the waterproof wall system directly to the pan. Non-porous solid-surface surrounds resist mold and staining without resealing. Options including built-in shelving, fold-down seating, handheld shower systems, custom glass enclosures, and properly anchored grab bars make the shower easier to use. Many standard shower replacements and tub-to-shower conversions can be completed in one day, and wall-system products are backed by lifetime warranties.

Basement Remodeling & Basement Bathrooms

A finished basement only lasts if moisture is handled before the walls close. A 10-mil vapor barrier separates your living space from the concrete, while dehumidification, mold-resistant drywall, and moisture-rated luxury vinyl plank flooring keep the room comfortable through humid summers and snowy winters. When the plan includes a bedroom, an egress window of at least 5.7 square feet gives the room a code-compliant emergency exit and brings in natural light.

Adding a bathroom below the main drain line takes more planning because gravity does not always help move wastewater out of the house. A sewage-ejector or upflush system lifts wastewater back to the sewer line, and an 18-by-30-inch basin gives the pump system the capacity it needs. Exhaust ventilation must duct all the way to the exterior so damp air leaves your house instead of condensing overhead and feeding mold. That duct cannot empty into a joist bay — the hollow channel between the floor joists overhead — or into unfinished ceiling space. Before the walls and floor close, we map where every drain, water line and wire needs to run. Along with GFCI-protected circuits and moisture-rated wall and floor materials, this planning turns the lower level into usable living space without hidden problems.

Aging-in-Place Bathroom Remodeling

Aging-in-place bathroom remodeling should make the room safer without making it feel medical. Our crews are certified Senior Safety Specialists through Age Safe America, and that training shapes the layout before finishes are chosen. Curbless and low-threshold shower entries make getting in and out easier and safer. Because grab bars may need to support your full weight, they mount into solid blocking inside the wall rather than drywall anchors. Many grab bars are rated to support 250 pounds when installed correctly.

When sitting, standing, or moving through the bathroom becomes harder, a few carefully planned features can make daily use safer and more comfortable. Comfort-height toilets usually sit 17 to 19 inches from the floor, which can make sitting and standing easier. Other helpful features include non-slip flooring, a handheld shower on an adjustable slide bar, wider access paths, a fold-down shower bench, and brighter task lighting. The goal is a safer room that still feels clean, attractive, and built into the home instead of added as an afterthought.

Cabinetry, Countertops & Kitchen Upgrade Packages

A kitchen upgrade can change the room without a full gut remodel, but the cabinet and countertop work still has to be precise. Cabinet runs show every shortcut. Laser-level layout lines keep the boxes aligned, so the doors and countertop form one straight line across the room instead of sloping toward a corner. Cleats anchor the weight into wall studs instead of drywall, which keeps loaded shelves and a heavy stone top from pulling away over the years. In older kitchens, shimming and scribing close the gaps where floors and walls are not perfectly level, so the cabinets sit tight to the wall with no crumb-catching space behind them. Doors and drawer fronts hold a consistent 1/8-inch reveal, the even gap you notice when a kitchen looks built-in rather than assembled. Soft-close hinges and slides make daily use smoother.

When your cabinet boxes are still sound, they can often be refaced or refinished instead of replaced. Refacing adds new doors, drawer fronts, and matching veneer. Refinishing uses catalyzed conversion varnish, which creates a harder, factory-grade coating that shrugs off water, cleaning sprays, and daily wear at the sink and stove. These upgrades often cost about 40 to 50 percent of full replacement.

A countertop needs to follow the real shape of your walls so the backsplash meets it cleanly. We laser-template the countertop to capture those measurements before cutting the quartz, granite, or quartzite. Mitered edges give the counter a thick, solid look, while tight seams keep the joints between slabs nearly invisible. Because sealed undermount sink cutouts leave no exposed rim to trap grime, crumbs wipe straight into the sink. Supported overhangs also let an eating bar take someone leaning on it without flexing or cracking.
