Courtenay, BC Kitchen and Bathroom Remodelers

What does a Courtenay kitchen and bath remodeling expert do?

Licensed British Columbia kitchen and bath remodelers are contractors who specialize in altering the structure of an existing space, rather than building one from the ground up. Because he or she must deal with a previous builder’s work, the job can get more complicated than new construction. You might wonder why they often specialize in both kitchens and bathrooms, but if you think about those two spaces, they actually have a lot in common. Kitchens and bathrooms include an abundance of fixtures that require careful planning and installation, including sinks, faucets, tubs and toilets that all need water hookups and drainage. They also use similar materials, such as tile and stone for countertops and flooring, due to the nature of their use. So it makes sense that Courtenay kitchen remodelers and bathroom remodelers be one in the same.
