Semi-Professional styles: 

Many homeowners dream of replicating the functionality of a professional kitchen in their own homes. Gas stoves, large workspaces, and spring faucets are a must. Not only do these features help you to cook with power, but they are aesthetically pleasing. 

Unique finishes: 

A few years ago, the only options for kitchen faucets were chrome and brushed nickel. These days our showroom is a sea of satin gold, brushed brass, black stainless, and matte black faucets, as well as the old stand-bys.

Technology Integration:

Touch-activated faucets have been around for quite a while now, but the mechanics involved keep getting better. Take advantage of the technology revolution by installing a new touch, motion, or voice-activated faucet in your home.

Green Living:

Millennials and others are more focused on the planet now than ever before. Water use and recycled materials have become a talking point in all aspects of their consumer lifestyle, including remodeling. Faucets that use less water while still providing incredible cleaning power are becoming more and more popular.

The kitchen faucet is hands-down the most used appliance in your family’s home. Whether you are there to wash hands, fill a glass of water, do dishes, water houseplants, or rinse produce, the kitchen faucet is constantly being turned on and off. It’s time to enjoy your time in the kitchen with a functional faucet!

All of these styles and more can be found in stock at Handy Man! With the help of our in-store experts, you will surely be satisfied with your purchase for years to come!

Emerge Shower Column
The possibilities are endless when you install a shower column! Install your favorite rain-type shower head and pair it with a coordinating hand shower. One major perk to this is that you do not need to alter your plumbing to enjoy an overhead rain shower!

Peerless Ezra Shower Bar

This 6-function hand shower has a “pause” function that reduces water to a trickle, which allows you space for shaving and lathering while keeping the water temperature warm for when you need it next. The sliding bar allows you to adjust the water spray to the ideal height to suit you.

The post 6 Shower Heads For A More Relaxing Experience appeared first on Handy Man Home Remodeling Center.

In a world of smart homes and smart cars, it’s time to introduce the smart shower! The U by Moen fully integrates the power of technology with the experience of a rejuvenating shower.

What is it? 

The U by Moen shower is a digitally controlled shower experience. Instead of manual controls for temperature and water pressure, there is an LCD screen that controls all shower functions – temperature, which shower head is active, and can set time limits and water-saving features. We’re a huge fan of the U by Moen shower and agree with Wise Pick that it’s the “Best All-Around Smart Shower Controller”. Not only do you get a great shower every time, but you also get the support of Moen’s customer service and experience.

Customization

Instead of controlling your shower temperature and spray pattern with handles or knobs, a small digital control panel is placed in your shower that can be set to a specific temperature, time limit, and pre-set. For example, if you prefer a hot shower in the morning and a cooler one after a workout, you can set it so. The U by Moen shower has the ability to have FOUR outlet valves for multiple showerheads. Simply choose which ones you want running with the touch of a button.

Cleaning

The absence of levers and knobs makes shower cleaning a breeze and leaves your shower looking less cluttered. It is also easy to install in your home because extra holes for valves do not need to be drilled.

Cost-Efficient

In total, the cost of installing the U by Moen Smart Shower is comparable to that of a standard shower. Although the solenoid for the smart shower comes at a price, you do not need to purchase separate valves and have them installed. Plus, once you are using it, the water-saving ability is abundant.

It is not unusual for users to turn on their shower, get distracted, and forget the shower is running while gallons of clean fresh water pour down the drain.  When you turn on the U shower and it reaches the desired temperature for your shower, the water stops until you’re ready to use it. The pause function not only saves water for the environment but also saves you money on your water bill. You may also save water by programming the timer function. Reduce your water usage by setting a shower time limit. For each 5-minutes the shower is running, approximately 12 gallons of water go down the drain.  By limiting, or simply being conscious of your time spent in the shower, you can drastically reduce your water bill.

Connectivity

By connecting your smartphone to the U by Moen, you can start the shower from anywhere in your home. When the water temperature meets the programmed setting, it will pause the water and let you know that your shower is ready to go!

With all of the technological advances in kitchens and bathrooms, the U by Moen will be welcomed along with touch and motion faucets, electric mirrors, washlet toilet seats, and more! Find and experience all of these items in Handy Man’s showroom!

The post Bring Technology Into the Bathroom with a Smart Shower! appeared first on Handy Man Home Remodeling Center.

The bathroom is the room in the house that can present some of the biggest challenges. From washlet bidet toilet seats to safety handrails, there are many options to make a bathroom more accessible. Here are some things to consider whether you’re building a new home or modifying an existing one. You might also be looking to help a parent who wishes to stay in their own home, but needs some basic modifications for safety and convenience.

Consider comfort height toilets to avoid having to bend knees too far. A grab bar and toilet paper holder-in-one can provide great convenience. It can be mounted at any height you’d like. You can also install a safety hand bar that comes down on either side of the toilet for support. It’s simply mounted on the wall behind the toilet, providing stability and support while on the toilet.

When it comes to the shower, consider installing a bench or seat for stability. Also look at the curb of the shower. There are many options available. You might consider a low profile curb to avoid a tripping hazard, making it much easier to get in and out of the shower safely.

If you prefer a bathtub, but have difficulty climbing in and out, consider a walk-in bathtub with a door for access. This option makes it much easier to get in and out of the bath. These tub systems come with a special valve to allow for a faster fill-up time and a larger drain allowing the water to drain quickly when you are finished.

Whether you’re looking to add modifications for your own convenience, or someone else, be sure to consult with an expert to find out what options will work best and follow ADA guidelines. From simple fixes to complete remodels, there are many modifications that can make all the difference when it comes to safety for your loved ones in one of the most used spaces of your home.
