Google Analytics has provided Titus Built with the top keyword searches as well as the length of time searchers have spent on the site. Bathroom Remodel outweighs every other keyword search. What are clients looking for in a bathroom remodel?
- Radiant heated floors in bathrooms.
- Soaking tubs instead of Jacuzzis.
- Steam bath/shower combos with advanced shower heads.
- Privacy rooms for the toilets.
- Dual vanities as well as a lower level vanity for putting on makeup.
- Better ventilation creating comfortable room temperatures with less mold and mildew.
- Flat screen televisions on swivel mount.
- Quartz countertops are replacing granite countertops as the #1 choice.
- Satin nickel faucets followed by brushed nickel faucets.
- Under mount sinks continue to dominate while vessel sinks have become a clear second.
According to a CBS Money Watch Report “Bathrooms are the hottest project…Baths cost less than a kitchen or addition and most houses have more than one bath, so there are more available to be remodeled.”

Our clients has 3 growing boys and 1 good sized dog and were finding their existing space to be too confining. We were hired to add a family room addition to a modestly sized 4 bedroom colonial in Ridgefield, CT. They indicated they’d like a warmer look to their cathedral ceiling than the stark appearance offered by drywall. We referred to our photo gallery of past jobs for alternatives that might fit the bill.
We had achieved excellent results and very favorable response from clients and architects using painted tongue & groove pine with 1 key detail added. As we were using center-match T&G stock, we wanted to avoid the inevitable inconsistent gapping that would occur as the material dried over time.
We ran our 16 foot T&G stock through our table saw and removed about 1/8” on the groove side along its length. Doing this insures that when each length is butted up to the adjacent length, the tongue will bottom out in the groove and the finished ceiling will align with a consistent 1/8” spacing between boards. 1/8” is too large a gap for paint to bridge it, so when painted, the ceiling yields a continuous, finished look which doesn’t vary visibly with climate generated material expansion and contraction. Result was spectacular!
The construction progress of this Ridgefield Family Room Addition can be seen on 2 previous Titus Built posts. http://bit.ly/haQ0Cv

In recent months we have seen a substantial increased interest in patios, pergolas and screened-in porches. What better way to spend time entertaining and dining, from spring through fall, than outside with family and friends. Patios, screened-in porches and pergolas with fireplaces provide extra living space for three-season entertaining outdoors.
Last fall, Titus Built was commissioned to build a Patio and Pergola for one of their clients. The catch was the majority of the project had to be complete within three weeks for an exciting large gathering for Halloween. Talk about an extreme home makeover!
Below are some construction photos showing the progress of the project:
