How to Getting Your Dining Room Ready for Thanksgiving
Hire a General Contractor in Methuen, MA to remodel your dining room!
With COVID-19 pandemic sullying the holidays last year, it almost goes without saying that this holiday season is going to be extra special to those who get to celebrate it in person together. If you plan on entertaining friends and family, you may consider upgrading or remodeling your dining room. You may also consider doing a kitchen or bathroom remodel as well. If that's the case, we recommend checking our other recent blogs about those topics. Regardless of your plan, we have the skills at Skillville to help make it your best Thanksgiving yet.1) Is the dining room well lit?
Most dining rooms may be a standard room with average windows. Maybe it's time to increase the height and / or width of your windows to add in more natural light. You can even have windows practically floor to ceiling. You can also add other lighting such as sconces or theater-like lighting to give an extra ambience or possible "mood lighting" for the occasion. 2) Bring your party inside-out or outside-in.
Maybe
your dining room is located by your back porch or deck. If that's the
case, you can possibly swap out your windows and have a contractor
install a sliding glass door and possibly extend your deck or porch so
it wraps around your house, making for a larger entertaining space..
3) Do you wish you had a fireplace?
Some dining rooms may already have a fireplace while other houses may not. If you want to have a warm fire going while Thanksgiving dinner is served, there are few things to consider. It would be best to have a licensed, bonded, and insured general contractor to come out and see if it's even possible to have a fireplace. There are many codes and regulations to add a fireplace so that your home and the people in it are safe. There are special methods of installation to help make this possible. You may need to add a chimney. If so, how will it affect other floors, your attic, and your roof? Even if you decide upon a pellet-fed, natural gas, or electric fireplace, you still need a licensed general contractor to do the work properly and safely. Once you decide upon what type of fireplace can exist in your dining room, you may also consider what type of maintenance is necessary. Did adding a fireplace create an unexpected draft when you have the fire going? This would deem possible vents, doors, windows, and / or insulation needs that must be corrected as well.
