Benefits of Remodeling

Remodeling involves changes in the structure, shape, form and functionality of any living space in your home, business or church. We often think of remodeling in terms of renovating a kitchen or bathroom, which involves expanding these spaces, making them more attractive and efficient, and installing them with modern appliances and amenities. Remodeling includes any structural improvement that renews the feel and practicality of the spaces we inhabit.

Reasons to remodel your home, business or church:

  • Add more usable space to an existing room

  • Upgrade cabinets, counters, floor coverings, appliances and fixtures

  • Create a new floor plan that is better tailored to your unique lifestyle

  • Improve energy efficiency with new windows, doors, insulation, and climate control systems

  • Increase the resale value of your home

Kitchen Remodels

Kitchens are the main hub of most homes, where we flock for sustenance – from the morning cup of coffee to the late night snack – so you want your kitchen to be welcoming and efficient. A kitchen remodel increases the functionality of your kitchen and frees up “household traffic” by expanding the floor and counter space, and installation of up-to-date appliances. Kitchen remodels enhance the attractiveness of your space through installation of new cabinetry, cupboards, kitchen sink, floors, counters and lighting.

The remodeling experts at New Life Crew, LLC will consult with you about how a remodeled kitchen can better suit your needs and increase the quality of your life.

Bathroom Remodels

A bathroom remodel is a great way to increase the comfort and useability of one of the most often used spaces in your home or business. There are many goals of a bathroom remodel. You can increase the efficiency of your bathroom by saving water through an updated toilet replacement or improve the ventilation by upgrading fans and vents – which reduces condensation, mold and mildew. Or you may want to augment your overall bathroom experience by installing a more lavish vanity or flooring using opulent materials like marble, slate and stained hardwood. A bathroom remodel can expand your shower and bathing area with new and basic upgrades or high-end tubs and stone tile.

The choice is yours as the potential of a bathroom remodel is limited only by your imagination!

Basement Renovation & Remodel

Vermont homes are famous for their basements. While many basements are relegated to storage – becoming hotbeds of dust and decay – remodeling your basement can be a way to radically increase the livable space inside your home. A remodeled basement (or “finished basement”) also provides a temperate zone in your home, where you can keep cool in the summer or amp up the heat with a woodstove in the winter. Renovating a basement into a fun hang-out place or a bedroom / livingroom only costs about one third of what you would spend on an home addition, and it marks a significant increase in your home’s value.

Our first priority in remodeling your basement is making sure it is dry. To do this, we ensure there are no leaks and the foundation is solid and secure – when needed, we install flashing systems so that water is diverted away from your home. Because basements are prone to more moisture than other areas of your home, we use flooring, insulation and wall systems that are the most weather-resistant. And while we focus on enhancing the comfort and quality of your basement, we also keep functionality in mind by ensuring access to plumbing and heating systems, electrical panels, and other utilities.

Flooring

Installing new flooring is a great way to improve the look, feel, and functionality of your home or business. There are many kinds of flooring to choose from, each offering its own unique set of benefits and advantages

The main kinds of flooring are:

  • Wood Flooring

  • Tile Flooring

  • Laminate Flooring

  • Concrete Flooring

  • Carpet Flooring

  • Epoxy Flooring

  • Vinyl & Linoleum Flooring

  • Rubber Flooring

Wood flooring has many benefits; it enhances the look of your space while also making clean-up more effective. It is also highly durable and, unlike carpet, can last for decades and remain in good shape with regular upkeep. It provides a clean and sleek look, and comes in a variety of kinds and stains that can augment any room in your home or business.

Tile flooring is a great option if you want a spill-resistance floor that enables easy clean-up. Tile is durable and long-lasting, and comes in an endless variety of colors and designs that enables a sky-is-the-limit opportunity for a new visual impact and overall design aesthetic.

Laminate flooring has the waterproof and durability benefits of wood and tile while also being very affordable and easy to install. It is good for heavily trafficked areas and is also available in eco-friendly options.

Concrete flooring is a good stripped-down flooring option that is stain-resistant and extremely durable. It is affordable and provides a foundation for creative elaborations, such as painting, waxing or sealing. Lest you think it is always hard and cold, keep in mind that concrete can be installed with a radiant heating system to increase comfort through those chilly winter months.

Carpet flooring is probably the most popular and traditional kind of flooring. Because of its cushioning effect it provides a warm and cozy feeling that makes a home more comfortable. Carpet also absorbs sound and provides insulation as well as making a safer space for baby to fall down. It comes in a vast array of colors, types, designs and thicknesses – enabling your creative design instincts to have a field day.

Epoxy flooring is a synthetic resin that is laid on top of and serves to protect and decorate concrete. It increases durability and is highly resistant to water, heat, or chemical damage. Epoxy flooring is also very affordable, easy to maintain and comes in a variety of designs.

Vinyl & linoleum flooring comes in many look-a-like options that resemble stone, wood, tile or other kinds of flooring – but at a cheaper cost. Vinyl and linoleum flooring is very easy to install and provides quick clean-up as it is scratch- and water-resistant.

Rubber flooring is remarkably slip-resistant, easy to maintain, provides ample cushioning, and can withstand heavy usage and high traffic. Durable, eco-friendly and affordable, rubber flooring is a great option for your comprehensive flooring needs.

Dry Wall Installation & Repair

Dry wall installation is part and parcel of new construction and includes hanging, mudding, and taping. However, dry wall can also be installed in older historic buildings, wherein it reinforces the insulation and makes interior remodeling and painting possible. We cut new dry wall to fit your building’s exact specifications and offer new painting to arrive at a finished product.

In most buildings dry wall is covered only by a few layers of paint. Therefore, it is very easily damaged by moving furniture, hanging paintings, or the errant fist. Doh! Damaged dry wall allows permeation between the interior of your home and the inner wall systems, and can lead to problems in the structure of your home. We repair cracked, dented or gashed dry wall, which safeguards the integrity of your home.

Insulation Installation & Repair

New Life Crew, LLC installs insulation on new construction homes and business, using high grade materials to better regulate internal temperatures – which keeps your dwelling cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Whether it’s the framing, crawlspace, attic, or basement, installing insulation increases the energy efficiency of your home or business. Our insulation installation is quick and effective, producing an immediate impact on your home’s integrity.

We also provide insulation repair on older homes in which the existing insulation is damaged or nonexistent. Insulation repair updates your older or historic building or home to make it better able to maintain climate control and comfortability – as well as meet code.
