Barn Door Shower and Bathroom Remodel
Have you been dying to see a bathroom remodel that features a barn door style shower door? You know you have and now is your chance because DCI just completed that very remodel!
This client had a number of things she wanted changed in her previous bathroom. Our team removed essentially the entire bathroom to renovate. All tile and drywall was removed as well as all fixtures including the toilet. With such a large renovation, the client opted to upgrade the bathroom window to an insulated vinyl window. When the drywall and tile were replaced the crew brought in the lovely vanity with matching linen closet and new toilet. Then the team assembled the frameless glass shower with a glass shower barn door. Once the remodel was done, the DCI team finished up with fantastic colors and accessories that speak to this client's wonderful taste in decor.
Disaster Castle Demo Stage II
Back with another blog about the D.C.!
Initially, we had not planned to completely overhaul the full interior all at once. The plan had been to get the flooring replaced, paint, and do the kitchen and bathrooms over time once we moved in. As often happens with the best laid plans, that approached changed pretty quickly. It just didn't make sense to do part of the work and make our lives more difficult down the road. That said, bathrooms and kitchen were taken out. A good portion of drywall has been removed. We managed to get the gross spots on the floor cleaned up well. Any subfloor that was beyond cleaning or was rotten is getting replaced.
As the extra demolition went along we discovered some rotten boards that were framing in the big sliding glass doors to the back yard. We had planned to remove the sliders and replace them with French doors, but that was planned for further down the road. Needless to say, the French doors were ordered and the sliders were replaced pretty quickly. It turns out that the rotten beams were not load bearing, which was a HUGE relief! There was a regular door from the kitchen into the backyard (the sliders were seriously five steps away so it made no sense). That door was removed, the area framed in, and it's now ready to have a window put in.
Just take a peek at these photos and you will see why I have named our new place "Disaster Castle!"
Room addition, Window Replacement, and Decorative Backsplash in Trinity, FL
Often clients contact us to get help getting their home more energy efficient by replacing windows. This particular client wanted to not only upgrade their windows but also refresh their kitchen and add space to their existing home. We installed impact resistant windows for the entire house, which helps not only with energy efficiency and safety during a hurricane but also lowers home insurance in some cases!
The client did not want to remodel their entire kitchen, just breathe new life into the spaceThe ultimate decision was to replace the backsplash between the counter tops and upper cabinets. This is a great way to inexpensively create a more eye-catching space in your home. For the room addition we added a hoe office. The addition resulted in a lovely, bright space that is perfect for getting some work done.
Ultra Modern Bathroom Remodel in Tampa
This bathroom remodel was a blast! DCI was contacted by a client in Tampa who wanted to reinvent her bathroom for a dull, drab space to an ultra modern showpiece room. The client opted for a natural stone floor with high contrast black cabinets against a white room. The full glass shower creates an eye catching centerpiece for the room. The beautiful chrome shower head and controls paired with the sleek chrome cabinet pulls and sink hardware unify the space to create an amazing bathroom.
Disaster Castle Demolition Stage 1
Welcome back to Disaster Castle! I've been so wrapped up in the process of buying, planning, and working on D.C. that I have neglected to blog about it. I have always heard people talk about how time consuming the process is, but I thought for sure it wasn't that bad. I mean, Jeff is a contractor so that will push things along faster. HAHAHA! I have had a very rude awakening!
Due to the improper installation of the laminate floors and the fact the the entire house reeked of dog (we have 5 dogs and our current house doesn't smell like dogs...) the first project was to remove all the existing flooring. D.C. has a few things come up on the home inspection, but we weren't expecting the massive patches of disgusting subfloor. We discovered that the master bath had been leaking and there was a large black stain going into the hallway next to the kitchen. Some of the studs in the wall near the bathroom leak had rotted out due to extended exposure to water. This was definitely not what we expected. Luckily the subfloor showed no signs of rot. Due to the leak we opted to take the bottom 4' of dry wall off on the walls impacted by the leak. No mold in the walls!
Initially, we had planned to simply replace the floor, paint the walls, and move in. We thought replacing the kitchen, baths, etc could be done once we moved in. After we saw the true extent of the work that needed to be done we decided to gut the house and get most of the renovation done before we move.
After seeing those massive stains and wet spots in the subfloor I was quite discouraged. The house smells much better now that the existing floors are out, but it became clear that I was living in a dream world. At this point, D.C. just seemed insurmountable. Pulling out the floors made the space seem so much smaller, especially because of the wall between the kitchen and living room. So, buckle up. Next up we start knocking down walls.
Fireplace renovation in Odessa
This project was a surprise gift for a client’s wife. He came to us with this project in mind and a budget. We were able to work with him and come up with a design that fit the space just perfect. We were able to match his existing stacked stone in the television room and the finish on the fireplace really tied the room together.
Shower Renovation, Lighting Upgrade, & Frameless Glass Install in Palm Harbor
Some of the best advertisement a contractor can get for their company is a return customer. DCI recently did a full home renovation for a client that included a kitchen, master bathroom, and flooring install throughout the home. For this project, we tackled a couple of areas around the home that were left untouched. During out last visit, we didn’t renovate the guest bathroom shower. It was small and uninviting. The guest bathroom was also plagued by having an exterior entrance that took away from the size of the shower and the beauty of the bathroom. We closed in the second access door and an existing closet in the garage to allow us to create a much more useful space for the shower. Our client had a very specific idea of what he wanted the shower to look like and I feel like we delivered. This shower features an overhead rain head, a four position custom shower valve, a custom wall niche, and a frameless glass surround. Other parts of this project were adding additional lighting to the dining room area to match the already renovated kitchen area. Also, we added a beautiful frameless glass door to the already renovated master bathroom.
Sliding glass door installation in Palm Harbor
We were recently contacted to remove and replace an old non-insulated aluminum sliding glass doors.

We finished these doors with oversized interior and exterior trim.
