Staircase Options and Alternatives to Carpet
If your home staircase was originally carpeted you can now opt for other alternatives. Innovative staircase designs and materials including glass have altered the way a staircase can look. In fact you could, like others, use the look of the staircase to lend a theme to your home interior. Staircase treads are decorated with tiles and murals to give them a unique look.

Screen Room Addition for Your Home
Bringing the outdoors inside is a frequent request from homeowners considering an addition project. One of the most efficient ways to accomplish this is by adding a screen room to your home. There’s more to it than just the extra space—it’s the privacy you have, the additional functionality while being able to ward off the sun and rain (the two season screen room) and still being able to enjoy the beauty of nature.

These rooms can go by other names, like solariums, porch enclosures, and conservatories. They are rooms that have large windows, sometimes even floor to ceiling ones, all depending on your preference. Continue reading
Sometimes we get to a certain point in life when the bedroom we’ve been sleeping in for years just isn’t good enough or big enough for us anymore.

The problem is not that your current master bedroom is not luxurious enough – it’s often not large enough. When you need to make it larger, the only thing you can do is put a master bedroom addition onto your home.
Putting an addition your home should be fun – so why do so many people get stressed out over it? Well, because there are so many little things to get stressed out over, that’s why.

That is why we decided to ask the DBPlanners some of the top questions people have, and let them answer the questions for you.
