Need new bathroom faucets that will complement polished brass
Comments (3)I would replace it with brass so it matches or is closely coordinated. If I were a potential buyer I would wonder if the non-matching faucets were a quick fix. I think this is one of those situations where keeping the finishes the same is more important....See MoreNew tile floor trip bar need help quick
Comments (8)It happens all the time. A homeowner will choose a tile or type of flooring and the installer will install it without thinking. Tile and flooring is not something that you can just throw down and make it work and come out even especially on a remodel. Here's why.. You start out with all of the subfloor heights even. You decide to install 1/2" thick wood flooring in all of the rooms but the kitchen. When new the builder compensated for the extra height when they tiled the kitchen. Say for example 1/4" thick tile was used. The builder would add 1/4" thick plywood to raise the floor to where the tile would be even with the wood flooring.. Fast forward.. You come along and decide to redo the kitchen floor with 1/2" tile that calls for a 1/4" underlayment. You now have 3/4" total height to deal with. The old 1/4" tile is removed. Minus 1/4 from 3/4 you have 1/2 left. !/2" will be the difference in height between the old and new. So now you have three choices. Go back and find a tile or flooring type with a thickness that will come out even when fully installed. Rip out all of the old wood flooring throughout the house and start over. Add a transition piece and learn to live with it. Myself I would have did a lot of measuring and after if you wanted to go with the tile you choose. Then I would have added something like a Shur-Trim transition piece under the tile and onto the wood flooring....See MoreFAST, Quick help needed with new flooring issue.
Comments (1)anyone?......See MoreCorrosion of new Rejuvenation aged brass faucet
Comments (40)OK, we're back to this again. Anne, this is definitely not right. Tell Rejuvenation that you want a a refund. There is no way a faucet should corrode like this, even if it is a living finish and even if it cost less than $100, much less the inflated prices charged by Rejuvenation. (which used to be a great store, now it's crap). Understand that if you replace it with the same finish you are probably going to have the same problem all over again. These faucet is probably made by Watermark and should not have this problem. I presume you did not have an opportunity to read the faucet warranty prior to the sale, and that you bought it over the internet. Good. That puts you in a great position to enforce your warranty rights. Take a look at The Warranty Game: Enforcing Your Product Warranty for the steps to take....See MoreRelated Professionals
