Pam and Steve Peigh recently completed a bathroom renovation that began in August and finished in November. The couple had moved into their house in 2010, and the bathroom was original to the house, dating back to when it was built in 1996. It was clear that the bathroom needed an update, especially since it lacked sufficient storage and had a bathtub that was too small and inconvenient to use. The Peighs wanted a bathroom that was not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional.
To achieve their goals, the Peighs decided to gut the bathroom completely. The couple chose to go with Thomas Kitchen & Bath for the project because they had heard good things about them from friends who had used their services. Pam and Steve commented, “We knew this would be major, and because they are local and specialized in kitchens and baths, we knew their reputation was important, so we chose them.”
The process began with the Peighs meeting Amy — lead designer — to discuss their vision for the bathroom. Pam noted, “I had in my mind what I wanted to accomplish, but she was able to make the vision come alive!”
“The Peighs wanted more built-in storage space in their bathroom so they could get rid of all the superfluous clutter,” Amy recounted. “Having a therapeutic bathtub was also a critical item on their wish list. Their current layout did not allow for either, so we had to get creative! By borrowing from an adjacent hall closet as well as combining their two closets into one large walk-in closet, and also changing the configuration of the room doors, we found that we could make it happen in a beautiful and functional way, including Pam’s dressing table under the windows!”
Amy showed them renderings of the new layout as well as how the colors and materials would look together and helped them make informed decisions. Pam appreciated being able to see how everything would look before making any final choices.
Once the project started, Tim from Thomas Kitchen & Bath came in and prepared the area for renovation. The Peighs were impressed with the organization and transparency of the process. They were given a worksite calendar that outlined the schedule and progress, so they knew exactly what would be happening each day. They also appreciated that the team would promptly communicate if there were any delays or issues.
Throughout the renovation, the Peighs were constantly updated on the progress. Each day, as the work crew finished up, they pointed out what had been accomplished that day and any remaining tasks. Steve, in particular, was impressed with the skill and expertise of the entire team.
Now that the renovation is complete, Pam is thrilled with the results. The bathroom is neat, clean, and organized, with a place for everything. She loves the new tub, which is a BainUltra ThermoMasseur, and even has self-cleaning capabilities. With delight, Pam and Steve commented on the overall experience, “We felt very comfortable with them and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!” In fact, the Peighs have already begun the process to update their kitchen this fall!
