Volume 10 | October, 2017

This past month has left all of us in a state of repair after the unprecedented devastation of Hurricane Irma on Lee and Collier Counties. As our community recovers from the storm, we want to extend our thoughts and best wishes to you and your loved ones. If you are concerned about the immediate safety of your home, would just like some assurances that your home is safe, or want recommendations for local suppliers or vendors, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Weather aside, if you still love your home and the community you live in—whether it is the school district, amenities or thriving retail scene—chances are you have no desire to move. And, if you're struggling with a room layout that no longer fits your functional needs, or you simply like the idea of living with nicer, modern amenities, let us help you get started. Contact us today to learn how Progressive Design Build can help you transform your home to fit your growing family perfectly. Wishing you a great fall season. Stay warm and cozy. From your friends at Progressive Design Build,

Aging In Place Home Remodeling Tips

Attractive Upgrades that Will Make Your Home Safer and More Comfortable Most of us want to live in our homes as long as possible. The problem is, our homes may not be aging as well as we are, preventing aging in place. Do you have hard, slippery surfaces in your bathroom? Is your home dark and hallways narrow? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 235,000 people visit emergency rooms each year due to injuries they’ve sustained in the bathroom alone. Despite this humbling statistic, many homeowners resist making changes to their bathroom that will make it safer. Why? Because they fear their beautiful bathroom will look “institutional” and hospital-like. Thankfully, times have changed. Some of the amenities that will make your home safer and easier to navigate—walk-in showers, natural lighting, wider doorways—are also some of today’s latest design trends. Old grab bars are today’s new shower rails. Higher seated toilets are today’s comfort height. Easy-to-use handles on cabinets and doors are today’s ergonomic features. This type of adaptable design is known as “aging in place,” making your home comfortably welcoming to all ages and abilities. To give you an idea of how to add attractive upgrades to your home while keeping you comfortable and safe, we’ve compiled a list of aging in place recommendations broken down by room. These are just a few ideas of how to make your home comfortably welcoming for all ages and abilities, for many years to come:

Even Hurricane Irma Can't Keep Us from Making Progress on this Spectacular Outdoor Kitchen on the Caloosahatchee River

There's nothing like sitting outside on a warm summer evening or beautiful fall afternoon. This family is already picturing themselves sitting around their luxurious outdoor fireplace and savoring the smell of hamburgers grilling on their barbecue. Nearly complete, their covered patio has received a beautiful English Chestnut stain. Lighting, plumbing and trim work has been completed and pavers installed. In the videos above, you can get a close up of the copper pendant lighting, wall scones, and the new baby barrier fence that has been installed around the pool area. Take a look and let us know if anything catches your eye, or you have any questions!
