Satisfied Clients

"We really enjoyed working with Joe and his contractor team throughout the process. Joe is very specific in his approach to design, selection, layout and quality. Joe listened very well to what we wanted to achieve in our space and in my opinion, over delivered on my expectations. His attention to detail began with the framing of our basement and continued through to the finished wood work, cabinet construction, lighting and flooring. One highlight for me was his commitment to be available to the various contractors that were needing answers on site. Joe was present throughout our project and when he wasn't, we had proactive communication from Joe to contractors outlining expectations. We asked for a clean job-site and Premier delivered. This made us enjoy the process even more, rarely fighting cleanliness or safety issues with our children in the home. The finish in our basement meets or exceeds our main floor finish and as I've stated, exceeded my expectations in craftsmanship. Thank you Joe and team for an absolutely phenomenal experience."

"We hired Joe Moehlenhoff to remodel our basement. After conducting our own “general contractor search" it became evident Joe was the clear choice. While choosing a contractor seemed to be overwhelming at first, Joe made our decision easy. His professionalism, attention to detail and project management continually confirmed we had made the right decision. We never had to worry about the subcontractors he brought into our home, they were always courteous and professional. We had a newborn baby during the project, and we were worried about the chaos. Joe was very conscientious about the needs of our family and that meant a lot to us. Joe always went above and beyond what we expected. He took a personal interest in our family and made sure the finished product would bring enjoyment to everyone in our home."

Sensory Considerations In Designing A Bedroom For A Child With Autism

Tue, 19 Mar 2024 05:46:00 GMT

Sensory issues are difficult for children with autism. For these children, their bedrooms can be a sanctuary from other stressful areas. You can make a child’s bedroom a retreat by reducing sensory elements; consider all their senses, including smells and sounds. Here are some helpful tips from our remodeling contractors to help parents get started.

Clearing the Air

Your first thought when decorating your child’s bedroom might not be related to air quality, but you should definitely add it to your list. Ridding the air of pollutants such as mold, dust, and pollen will make your child more comfortable in a room where he spends lots of time.

Pollutants can cause allergies and other respiratory issues. Use an air purifier (make sure you choose the correct size) to clean the air, and replace your HVAC filter often. Use HEPA filters to trap most airborne pollutants. You can order filters online and even subscribe to a service that ships them automatically so you don’t have to remember to order them.

Other scents can cause irritation as well. Laundry detergent and fabric softener scents, for example, can often be overpowering, so consider choosing scent-free laundry products. Soaps, candles, and colognes may bother children on the autism spectrum, so watch for places in your house where these products are frequently used. Many companies make scent-free or lightly scented soaps for the bathroom and kitchen. When choosing a cologne or candle, take your child along to sample the scents and find a pleasing one.

Soothing Sounds

Sound pollution can be disturbing to children with autism. Barking dogs, traffic noise, and the television in the next room can irritate your child. If so, consider investing in a white noise machine. Ocean waves, a gentle breeze, or merely a buzzing sound can mask other sounds that bother kids. A radio tuned to a classical station can also be soothing. A CD player with your child’s favorite singer or band can be the most soothing thing of all. You may need to try many different sounds to find the right one for your child. You may even need to mix up the sounds from time to time as your child grows tired of one and cycle through several options.

Overstimulation

Bold colors and lots of clutter are overstimulating for children with autism. When planning paint colors, choose colors that are soothing. Pale colors such as tan and gray are much less stimulating and provide a neutral palette. A single bold element, such as a piece of art or a giant sunflower in a vase, can brighten a room without being overpowering.

Clutter is overwhelming for most people, but it’s especially difficult for children with autism. Cut the clutter by organizing toys in plastic bins or baskets. Store most of these items in the closet so your child can close the door to reduce the overstimulation of too much stuff. Periodically sort through your child’s belongings and weed out things that are broken or worn.

Your child may need a special bed to feel safe, even in the bedroom. Consider a tent bed or some type of barrier to keep her from falling out of bed. Consider providing your child with a place to get away from all the stimulation. Hang a curtain diagonally across the corner of his room, creating a tented space. Add some large cushions covered in a soft fabric and a low-light lamp, and your child may find this the perfect spot to read or play with a favorite toy.

When you are decorating your child’s bedroom, wall colors, lighting, and storage options may be the first things that come to mind. For a child with autism, remember to plan for all the senses, including smell and hearing. Scents and sounds can be just as upsetting as things your child can see and touch. A little planning will help your child have happy times in their bedroom.

If you looking for a professional remodeling contractor who can provide you with a safe place for your autistic child then please call Premier Home Design & Remodeling.

3 Reasons To Invest In A New Kitchen Remodel

Tue, 19 Mar 2024 05:36:39 GMT

While most homeowners think of summer as the best time for home remodeling, you might be surprised to find that there are a number of remodeling projects perfect for fall as well. Your kitchen, in particular, can be a great remodeling project for the fall, providing you with an excellent opportunity to add a bit of style and some additional functionality to the space just in time for the coming holidays. Your kitchen is like the beating heart of your home, so why not take the opportunity this fall to make the changes that you've been wanting to make for some time now? To help highlight just a few of the reasons that make fall an excellent time to remodel your home's kitchen, our team of skilled St. Louis County remodeling contractors have taken the time to put together this short list for your reading pleasure.

More Time Indoors

With summer finally giving way to fall, most homeowners are likely going to find that they are spending more and more of their time indoors, especially as we move closer to winter. Because you and your family are likely going to be spending more of your time together in your kitchen later in the season and into the winter, now is the time to update your old kitchen space and make the kinds of changes that will make your kitchen a more enjoyable place for you all to gather and hang out. Whether you are just looking for aesthetic updates to improve your kitchen's comfort, or functional updates in preparation for baking season, you really can't go wrong.

Getting Ready For The Holidays

With the holiday season right around the corner, it's only a matter of time until visiting family comes into town and everyone is working in the kitchen to prepare a home-cooked holiday meal together. Unfortunately, many homeowners simply don't have a kitchen layout or the necessary space to do the kind of holiday cooking they would like, but a kitchen remodel can easily change that. The right kitchen remodel can help you transform your old kitchen space into the kind of cooking and entertaining space you've always dreamed of having in your home.

Install New Appliances

If new kitchen appliances are on your holiday wish list this year, or you are just planning on taking advantage of some sweet Black Friday sales this year, now can be a great time to change things around in your kitchen and make space for your new appliances. In addition to making room for any new appliances you've been eyeing for your kitchen, a fall kitchen remodel can also help you update the look of your old space and coordinate its appearance with the look of your new appliances to create a brand new, cohesive design you and your family are sure to love.

What You Should Know About Basement Finishing

Sun, 17 Mar 2024 08:06:54 GMT

You've been meaning to finish your basement, but you don't know where to start. Your situation is not unique because many homeowners struggle to form plans for their basement finishing, but hiring a remodeling contractor and exploring designs for finished basements will get you on track. Depending on the function of your basement, your basement finishing project may require simple adjustments or drastic renovations.

Things to Consider When Finishing Your Basement

Building Codes – If you're planning to install wiring and plumbing in your basement, check to see if a permit is required. Once the work is done, the wiring or plumbing may have to be inspected. Your local municipality's building and safety codes may also require direct access to the outdoors, so if your basement doesn't have a door that leads outside, your remodeling contractor may need to install one.
Function – Basements can serve as dens, guest bedrooms, game rooms, music rooms, pantries, laundry rooms, and craft rooms. The function of your basement will depend on your household's needs and preferences.
Insulation – Installing insulation to basements is necessary to control moisture levels, maintain temperatures, maximize energy efficiency, and dampen sound.
Waterproofing – Basements are prone to moisture, a problem which can damage surfaces and promote mold and mildew growth. Check for signs of water damage, add vapor barriers to the floors and walls, and repair cracks in foundation walls prior to basement finishing.
Lighting – Once you've determined your basement's function, you can choose the types of lighting that will suit the space best. Many homeowners select recessed lighting because it doesn't take up as much space as surface lighting. You will also have to choose between LED, fluorescent, or incandescent lights.
Radon Testing – During your remodeling project, take the time to test the basement's radon levels. Radon is a radioactive gas produced by decaying uranium, and it is odorless and colorless. It exists in soil, and its presence in the lower levels of houses can pose problems. Prolonged exposure to high levels of radon can be extremely dangerous, so having your basement tested during the finishing process is recommended.

If your basement is unfinished, you aren't making the most of the space in your home. Determine the needs of your household, and design the basement to meet those requirements. Because basement finishing can be quite extensive, hiring a remodeling contractor to perform the renovations is wise. If you're ready to finish your basement, contact a reputable remodeling contractor at Premier Home Design and Remodeling.

3 Benefits Of Custom Kitchen Cabinets

Sun, 17 Mar 2024 08:03:23 GMT

Kitchen remodels are undergone for a wide variety of reasons, but updating or installing brand new kitchen cabinets tends to be one of the more common reasons for doing so, or at the very least, a big portion of the project at hand. Whether you realize it or not, your kitchen cabinets are easily one of the most important elements of your kitchen space, and as such, it pays to invest in the kind of quality product that will deliver you the kind of function you need and look great while doing so. For this reason, custom kitchen cabinets can be a great addition to your home anytime you are looking to do any remodeling. To help highlight just a few of the benefits of upgrading your kitchen space with brand new custom kitchen cabinets, our team of skilled St. Louis County remodeling contractors have taken the time to put together this short article that we hope you will enjoy.

Built To Last

While many stock cabinets claim to have hundreds of different combinations to create a cabinet solution that works for you, you are still likely going to find yourself limited by product availability and the like. With custom cabinets, on the other hand, you can get your new cabinets personally tailored to your specific needs and tastes. From different woods, styles, finishes, and even the hardware used in their construction, you can get the custom cabinet solution that is perfectly suited to your particular tastes that is unlike any other out there.

Built To Fit Your Space

If you are one of the many homeowners out there who has an unconventionally sized kitchen or a unique layout, you might find it hard to find stock cabinets that will fit correctly with your space. Whether this results in gaps that require fillers, or overlap that has to then be removed, it can be a real eyesore for you and your family. With custom cabinets, however, your new cabinets will be built specifically for your space. Ensuring that you get a perfect fit every time.

4 Benefits Of Getting A Professional Bathroom Remodel

Sun, 17 Mar 2024 07:58:27 GMT

While a professional bathroom remodel can be a major investment for your home, it's an investment that can certainly pay off, which is probably why it is one of the most highly demanded home improvement projects among homeowners all over the country. To help show why bathroom remodels are such a popular home improvement choice among homeowners, our team of skilled St. Louis County remodeling contractors have taken the time to put together this short list detailing just a few of the most notable benefits this particular remodeling project can bring to your home. We invite you to read through and give our team of professionals a call today to let us help you start planning your next bathroom remodeling project.

Increase Your Home's Value

Whether you are looking to list your home for sale in the next couple of months, or you are just looking for ways to protect your investment by keeping your home's value high, a bathroom remodeling project can be a great way to do so. With a good design and tasteful choices, you can actually get a return on your investment that is nearly equal to the money you put into the project, which is something that just isn't possible with most other remodeling projects out there. In fact, even if you are looking to sell your home in the very near future, investing in a bathroom remodel can still be an excellent asset, as it will not only help to increase the value of your home, but it can also serve as a major selling point among any potential buyers that might be looking.

Add More Space

One of the most common reasons that homeowners choose to invest in bathroom remodels is that it's a great way to increase the amount of usable space your bathroom is able to provide. This can be done in a number of ways, including expanding the space as a whole, or just making more efficient use of the space that you already have available. In either case, the right bathroom remodel design can net you a great deal of additional space in your bathroom, enhancing the overall function and beauty of the room at the same time.

More Efficient Fixtures

When it comes down to it, most older bathroom fixtures just weren't designed to operate at the level of efficiency most modern fixtures are capable of. If you are one of the many homeowners out there who are looking for great ways to enhance the beauty of your home, as well as make your home more efficient overall, investing in new fixtures for your bathrooms can be an excellent way to do so.

Modernize Your Space

Another wonderful benefit of a professional bathroom remodel is that it allows you to modernize those old, outdated bathroom spaces around your home. Tastes and styles change over time, and if you are one of the many homeowners out there who can't stand the sight of your old bathroom any longer, investing in a quality remodel is a great way to provide yourself with the opportunity you need to transform your bathroom space into something new and exciting that you and your family are sure to love for years to come.

4 Kitchen Remodeling Ideas To Increase The Value Of Your Home

Sun, 17 Mar 2024 06:01:16 GMT

Homeowners who are looking to increase the value of their home can sometimes find themselves in a dilemma. Which home improvement project is going to get you the most bang for your buck, while also improving the functionality of your home overall? Major home improvement and remodeling projects aren't cheap, so making sure that you get the most value for every dollar you spend is absolutely vital. When you are looking for a remodeling project that is going to deliver in terms of return on investment, kitchen remodeling is ranked right there at the top of the list. Depending on the housing market and the types of improvements made, a professional kitchen remodel can boost a home's value quite a bit, but you want to make sure you are investing your money in the right improvements. To help you in this aspect, our team of St. Louis County remodeling contractors have taken the time to put together a short list of kitchen remodeling ideas that have been proven time and again to net you the best return on investment in when it comes to the value of your home.

High-End Appliances

With the right appliances, you can make your entire kitchen space feel much more finished and luxurious. Not only do new appliances increase the functionality of your kitchen by a great deal, but they don't require any construction either. Most kitchen remodeling contractors recommend going for upgrades like new ranges, refrigerators, cooktops, and other utilitarian devices with stainless steel finishes. When upgrading the appliances in your kitchen, most experts are going to recommend that you replace them all at once to help keep the design and look cohesive as opposed to replacing them slowly, over time. That being said, if you have to choose one appliance to upgrade, the one you should never skimp on is the dishwasher. Many homeowners often overlook this one in favor of flashier alternatives, but it is still one of the most important appliances in the kitchen.

Neutral Colors

Introducing a neutral color palette for major kitchen surfaces, like your countertops and flooring might just be the biggest return on investment you see in your kitchen remodel. While neutral colors might sound a little boring, they are a truly universal color choice and tend to go well with just about anything. This can also give you a neutral backdrop to highlight the beauty of your countertops, appliances, and dishware as well. They can also be swapped out much more easily than many other colors.

Chef's Kitchen

It is a fact of life that people want to imitate what they see on TV, and that applies to cooking show kitchens as well as anything else. With the increased number of foodies and amateur chefs these days, gas stoves, double ovens, and a number of other high-end cooking appliances are highly sought after upgrades among homebuyers and renters. You should stay away from superfluous extras, however, like pizza ovens or built in hibachi grills as these aren't going to do you any favors.

Expand The Space

Most potential homebuyers are looking for larger kitchen spaces when they are shopping around for a new house. Knocking down a wall to expand the space is obviously a good option is possible, but if not, there are a number of other ways to give the illusion of spaciousness, including adding a window.
