In the midst of the spring season and summer quickly
approaching, people love to begin work on the exterior of their home. Whether
it be gardening, lawn maintenance, or outdoor furniture it becomes a necessity
for the outdoor appearance. But everyone can admit there’s nothing
like taking care of the interior of your home. An interior renovation can
breathe new life and make it feel brand new. Of course we care
about the outer appearance of our home, but when you step inside this is where
it can truly make a difference with just some subtle changes. Corey’s Floors
owner, Jeff Corey, has offered five go-to renovations to really rejuvenate your
nest.
1.
Flooring
The first renovation that can really make an impact, would
have to be changing your flooring. Of course some people have a preference for
carpet, but Jeff suggests that if this is your “forever home” then hardwood is
the way to go. Throughout home renovations, there is a popularity growing with
hardwood that can make all the difference. Though hardwood is more expensive
than carpet, the investment is worth it since hardwood can last a lifetime with
proper care. Carpet might only last about five to ten years, however, if you
are on a smaller budget then refinishing or cleaning could be a simpler step
and still have an impact.
2. Bathroom
Did you know that in a lifetime you will spend over 92 days
in the bathroom? So obviously with so much time spent there, the next renovation
should be the bathroom. Jeff has seen a push recently for people modernizing
their commode. One nice feature to really modernize the room would be the
shower. People are now moving away from the classic tub and shower head, and
have begun a trend for the walk-in shower with multiple jets. Forget about just
soaking in the tub after a stressful day, and enjoy a pulsating shower head
that can massage all your worries away.
3. Kitchen
People have said that the kitchen is the heart of the home,
so why not pump some new life into that heart with just a few changes. You
don’t need to strip out the whole kitchen to have it look brand new. Besides
just updating appliances, Jeff offers that installing new cabinets can make all
the difference. Replace those old cabinets you’ve had since you moved in, with
a modern wood grain look that can quickly draw attention. Cabinets are not what
they used to be, so you know longer have to yell at the kids, “stop slamming
the cabinet doors” since new cabinets have a self-closing feature.
4. Stairs
Stairs may not be an obvious renovation for most people, and
has never even crossed their mind, but a brand-new set of stairs is the perfect
way to change the look of a home. Wouldn’t you love to tell people that you
installed a custom stair case with oak hardwood? Jeff is very excited to
announce that custom staircases are becoming a major focus for his company and
have really helped his customers’ homes shine. Another major benefit with
having new stairs, is that it actually increases the value of your home.
5. Moldings
Painting is usually the first step when people think about
renovation, but to set your room apart even more would be to install beautiful
moldings in whichever room you prefer. Jeff states that many people are going
to crown moldings, especially as an added decorative piece for custom living
rooms. Also adding chair rails can add depth to the room and allow you to even
go with two colors on the wall to have a nice contrast.
Now these five renovations are guaranteed to make you feel
like you just moved in to a new home. Also if you’re not the "do it yourself"
type then Jeff Corey is only a phone call away to handle all of these
renovations and more. Corey’s Floors

oriented having had all four of his sons work with him and still has the two
youngest, Danny and Steve, help run the company. Also his wife, Carol Corey, is
the Vice President running operations. So give Jeff Corey (610-368-8477) a call
