Accessible Remodel of Laundry Room and Bathroom in NJ

This Branchburg, New Jersey family wanted to update their home by remodeling numerous different parts of the home, centered around a master bath and laundry room remodel. One of the primary factors was adding accessible features. The Design Build Planners created designs for the interior remodel. To the right is a 360 view of the master bathroom remodel.

The homeowners drew their inspiration from remodeling projects featured on Houzz.com. The design options are a result of homeowners online research combined with an in-home consultation with Design Build Planners. There is also a proprietary profile checklist that homeowners fill out that depicts their lifestyle and room use. After compiling this information, Design Build Planners incorporates their construction knowledge and design creativity for the space with a focus on the budget and overall investment.
