2010 Updates (Bathrooms)

Many of our clients in 2010 chose to remodel their bathrooms.  Recently those clients were generous enough to let us take after pictures of their transformation.  These pictures along with the descriptions below offer an idea of how A&E Construction can assist you in remodeling you bathroom to fit your needs.

Bathroom A:

For this master bathroom remodel, the client wanted the luxury of a fresh, modern look that wouldn’t break the bank. The original tub enclosure was removed and we installed a larger, more modern shower area with bench seat.  Additionally, the symmetry and balance of ornamental vanity mirrors with modern vanity spotlights and decorative glass shelf under mirror provided a fresh look to the space.

Bathroom B:

This bathroom was transformed from a weary outdated bathroom into a timeless, for classic design with the installation of an elegant claw footed tub.  We created more storage space with installation of additional cabinetry while also installing a double sink structure in place of the previous single sink.  Additionally, new carrara marble adds texture and compliment to the rich chocolate glazed vanity cabinetry.  Overall, this transformation met the needs off the client and improved the space as a whole.

Pool House Cabinetry Updates

This week fixtures and finishings were installed in the pool house.  In both the main room and the bathroom Starmark Cabinetry was installed.  These champagne maple cabinets finished with a nickel glaze look to provide storage, as well as house the newly purchased appliances.  Additionally this week, the walls were painted, a Moen shower head in a brushed nickel finish was installed, and the pool outside saw initial framing to the jacuzzi.  Look in the coming weeks for more details about the project.

A&E Construction is thankful for its many loyal customers and suppliers. We want to wish you and your family a happy and safe Thanksgiving

The Pool House

This week was a busy week at the pool house.  As you can see below the pool has begun to take shape.  The unique shape is sure to provide endless summer fun.  Inside, the shower was tiled using the same tile design as the flooring, and a GE ptac Heating and Cooling Unit was installed.  This will provide the space with a low maintenance temperature control.

Pool House Updates

Our Pennington Pool house is moving along quite swiftly even with the cold weather approaching.  This week we were able to take more outside picture as Beechwood Landscape Architects began to construct the patio within the week.  The patio will be made from Bluestone which will give the area a natural feel with its different shapes and tones.  This outdoor space along with the pool which will be installed in coming weeks will provide the family with the ultimate in outdoor living.  On the inside of the pool house, the tile was installed.  The Pavaria Earth 12”x12” ceramic tiles from The Tile Shop in Hamilton, NJ features earthy tones, and will be an easy clean when wet feet walk across.

Look out next week for the installation of more fixtures! 

 

Thank you to all veterans past & present for serving our country!

HVAC Systems

Heating & Air Conditioning systems are a major contributor to a homeowner’s energy bills.  These systems include your water heater, air conditioner and furnace.  In order to better understand the severity of these costs, and the ways in which they can be improved, A&E Construction’s home professionals conduct Energy Audits.  In addition to determining the condition of your HVAC systems, windows/door seals, and insulation, we can detect which systems are not servicing your home in the most effective way and how alterations could save you money.

Replacement of your existing HVAC systems will be a welcomed worthwhile improvement thanks to the quality and reliability of American Standard’s HVAC products.  American Standard is a leader in the field of HVAC products and produces revolutionary systems that have the capacity to create over 99% cleaner air circulation in your home. Now combine that with their variable speed blower motors and their Comfort-R technology and you’ll have a system that makes your home more energy efficient along with added comfortable for your family. 

Below you can see the different American Standard products that A&E Construction utilizes to make homes more cost effective while improving air quality.

Did you know?

You can receive a Federal Tax Credit of up to $1500 for simple, and easy energy updates!  A&E Construction has emerged as a leader in energy updating, and our team can be there to assist in all of the following projects:

o   Windows and Doors:  Replacing either of these can significantly decrease energy bills, by strengthening the barriers between your house and the outside environment.

o   Insulation: Many houses have inadequate insulation that lets much of the outside air seep in.  Installing new insulation can in many cases lead to the greatest decrease in energy bills.

o   HVAC Systems: Whether it be your furnace, or air conditioner there are options to help improve the efficiency of your home.

o   Water Heaters: A significant amount of your energy bill is allocated to heating the water, however new technology has developed heaters with a considerable reduction in energy output.

o   Roofing: Replacing an outdated roof can help to alleviate the heat transferred from the sun, thus reducing cooling costs.

This program however only lasts until December 31, 2010!
