Five Ideas For Remodeling Your Kitchen This Spring

With warmer weather upon us, and spring cleaning in full effect, now may be the best time to spruce up your home’s kitchen. It does not matter if your kitchen remodel is a minor remodeling job or a major one, if your kitchen is dated and in need of new life, your return on investment upon selling should be high. Of course, you may just want an updated look for your forever home. When it comes to remodeling your Fayetteville, NC or Pinehurst, NC home, here are five ideas that the staff at Fayetteville Granite wants you to think about.

 

Consider New Kitchen Countertops. With resilient materials like granite and quartz now readily available  to homeowners, a countertop upgrade could really change the look and feel of your kitchen space. These countertops are easy to care for and come in a seemingly endless group of colors and designs. If you are currently living with laminate countertops, you will love and appreciate granite countertops or quartz countertops.

 

Update Your Kitchen Floor. If your current kitchen floor is laminate sheets or peel and stick vinyl, then you know that, while a very cost effective option for kitchen flooring, it is prone to wear and tear over time.  There are several different flooring styles today that are easier to care for and much more durable. Many homeowners will choose ceramic tile, cork or hardwood floors for their kitchen space.

 

Renovate or Replace Your Kitchen Cabinets. For a truly transformed look in your kitchen, change the look and functionality of your cabinets. If you want to do a minor remodel of your kitchen, and you want to keep your cabinets the way they are, a simple update in paint color will create a whole new look to your space. If you want a more drastic change, replace your cabinets with a new cabinet style, or even open shelves for a more modern feel.

 

Upgrade Your Appliances. A lot of homeowners will simply update their kitchens by upgrading their appliances. The choices in today’s market for kitchen appliances are many. Stainless steel appliances tend to look good in most any kitchen space. Before you make a major appliance purchase, measure the space so that you do not buy an appliance that won’t fit in your kitchen.

 

Shine a New Light On Your Kitchen Space. Sometimes, a minor kitchen remodel consists of a change in the lighting of the space. Replace old fluorescent fixtures with recess lighting, pendant lighting, and even under the cabinet lighting for an updated look.

 

Of course, a new paint color will completely change the look of your kitchen space. Remodeling your kitchen this spring does not have to cost a lot. Whether you choose a simple kitchen remodel or a major one, Fayetteville Granite can help!

Magnus Anderson is Your Choice For Carpet Installation

Spring time is the perfect time to consider making some flooring changes to your home. The flooring options for homeowners and homebuilders are numerous, but many homeowners and homebuilders will choose carpet flooring for at least some of the rooms in their homes, particularly the bedroom areas and the living room and den areas. While hardwood flooring or other flooring alternatives are popular with many homeowners and homebuilders, the use of carpet in homes has not diminished over the past few decades, and for many good reasons.

Carpet is functional and practical. The majority of homeowners and homebuilders will choose carpet that is comfortable to walk on. There are several carpet options that are not just comfortable to walk on, but also to sit on as well. In the cooler months of the year, carpet acts as an insulator, trapping heat. This usually results in a lower heating bill for residents. Carpet also acts a noise insulator. You can tell a difference in sound quality in a room that is carpeted versus one that is not.

Carpet provides safety features as well. People tend not to fall as easily on carpet, and when they do, injuries seem to be less severe, as carpet cushions their fall. This is particularly helpful in homes with small children and older adults. Believe it or not, new carpet can also help with the air quality of the home. Dust, dirt and air allergens get trapped in the fibers of carpet instead of floating in the air of the room. People struggling from breathing issues may see their symptoms improve with carpet installation.

There are so many high quality options when it comes to carpet. From plush to practical, and everything in between. Magnus Anderson specializes in flooring for new and existing homes. The professionals at Magnus Anderson want to help you find the right carpet option for you. We will walk with you every step of the way of your project from the consultation to picking out the perfect carpet and installing it to your satisfaction.

Magnus Anderson Hardwood Flooring

If you’re looking to increase your home’s value, or even just revamp your living space, consider installing hardwood floors.

Hardwood floors work especially well in living room and kitchen areas. They’re sleek and modern in appearance and make cleaning a breeze! Because dirt and dust won’t accumulate on hardwood floors, and they are much more resistant to staining, a quick vacuuming and mopping routine once a week is all you need. There’s no grout lines to scrub or fibers to trap mud and debris, just be sure to keep them dry!

Strength and durability is also a bonus when you choose hardwood. The high quality hardwood flooring that we offer at Magnus Anderson will pass the test of time. Our floors are long lasting, tough and able to stand up to high traffic areas of the home. Hardwood floors that meet the elevated specifications of Magnus Anderson will last for generations and maintain their strength even under the toughest of circumstances!

Of course, there’s more to hardwood flooring than its ability to withstand wear and tear. Hardwood floors are known for their transformative properties as well. Even the smallest room will appear larger and more spacious with hardwood floors. The appeal of hardwood floors is apparent when you consider the source. Hardwood floors bring the warmth and essence of nature into the home that isn’t available with other sources. The value and aesthetic of hardwood floors is timeless.

For a classic look and value that grows, hardwood floors are the top choice for homeowners who want to change up their floors. Whether you plan to live in your home for a lifetime or are looking to sell, hardwood floors will meet your needs.

Why Choose Luxury Vinyl Planks?

When it comes to flooring in Pinehurst and Fayetteville, the options are endless! With tile, hardwood, carpeting, laminate, and vinyl, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and wonder how you’ll ever decide.

But there’s another option at Magnus Anderson! Luxury vinyl planks. These planks offer the look of hardwood, stone, and tile at a fraction of the cost for our Pinehurst and Fayetteville customers!

You’re probably familiar with standard vinyl flooring that we offer at Magnus Anderson. The peel and stick plastic sheets that adhere to the floor. Luxury vinyl planks are on a different level and Magnus Anderson is proud to offer these floors to our Pinehurst and Fayetteville customers. They typically install in much the same way as vinyl, but luxury vinyl planks have a much thicker wear layer than regular vinyl. Because of the increased thickness we know our Pinehurst and Fayetteville clients will love these floors. Luxury vinyl planks are much more resistant to wear and tear as well as more durable and long lasting which is especially useful for Pinehurst and Fayetteville family homes.

In fact, luxury vinyl planks may be more comparable to laminate flooring. Both types of flooring have cost and durability advantages for our Pinehurst and Fayetteville customers, as well as being easy to clean. Laminate and luxury vinyl planks prove that luxury flooring doesn’t have to cost and arm and a leg in Pinehurst and Fayetteville. They are masters of disguise, taking on the qualities and look of tile and hardwood.

But that’s where their similarities end. Luxury vinyl planks stand up to moisture, which can be especially useful in the bathroom and kitchen areas in Pinehurst and Fayetteville. Because there is no wood in the product, you could soak luxury vinyl planks in water and not see any damage!

Luxury vinyl planks can be glued down, floated like laminate, or even grouted like tile! They are the number one choice for homeowners in Pinehurst and Fayetteville looking for luxury flooring without the high cost!
