		<description><![CDATA[Remodel of an octagon-shaped bathroom overlooking a private pool and the beautiful Willamette valley.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W0MCbTPqb5w&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W0MCbTPqb5w&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>This home&#8217;s master bath held a recessed, octagon-shaped bath tub in which you had to step down for both the shower and the tub.  All the floors and walls were finished in acrylic which presented a <em>major</em> safety hazard because it was extremely slick.</p>
<p>There were many reasons for the bathroom update: the windows were old and the argon gas had leaked causing major moisture problems, the tub leaked causing safety issues, the look and style of the bathroom was outdated and the owners wanted a shower and a jacuzzi tub with an updated look and feel, all while keeping the architectural integrity of the octagon shape and matching the house facade. </p>
<p>After assessing the situation, Jason and the Star Builders team determined that by extending the bathroom space 2+ feet to the outdoor soffit space there would be enough room to grant all of the homeowner&#8217;s request.  No problem!</p>
<p>As you can see in the video the change to the outside of the house is invisible and flawless, as any addition should be.  The octagon shape was kept intact, and the paint and windows match exactly.  Seamless.</p>
<p>The result is that the bathroom has a larger, more comfortable layout. The focal point is a window-view jacuzzi and shower that is breathtaking.  Custom tile is installed throughout the bath and we suggested a towel heater which was a bonus for the homeowners.  Another dream come true.</p>

<p>The possibilities for remodel on a manufactured home are virtually the same as on a traditionally-built house.  You are not limited to the design or decor that you started with.  </p>
<p>Have you noticed lately that  your kitchen, bath or another room are showing their age with the shag carpet, faux wood paneling, and pastel-paisley wall paper?  Perhaps you&#8217;ve really always wanted an office or an extra bedroom or maybe that bathroom is just too small?  </p>
<p>Over the years your family dynamic has surely changed or perhaps a change in health or mobility is necessitating a change in the floor-plan for easier maneuverability.</p>
<p>When we talk we&#8217;ll create a new design and make your home the castle you&#8217;ve always longed for and most certainly deserve. </p>

<p>This was a big job!  No doubt about it, and many words come to mind when describing the overhaul on this home.</p>
<p><span id="more-900"></span></p>
<p><strong>Renew</strong>~ The floors had dry rot so severe that they could not be repaired, but rather totally gutted and started from scratch.</p>
<p><strong>Reinvent</strong>~  The beautiful original cove base was almost gone with a rubber trim temporarily in place.  We custom built a base mold that looks flawless, and maybe even better than the original.</p>
<p><strong>Rejuvenate</strong>~ The floors had so many different coverings (carpet, linoleum, weathered wood) and so many transitions that it compartmentalized spaces and made everything feel small.  We created a larger, seamless feel by tearing up all floor coverings and refinishing the original wood flooring to a beautiful finish.  With bright, consistent flooring throughout the house it now has a spacious, clean feel.</p>
<p><strong>Revitalize</strong>~ Both the kitchen and the bathrooms were desperate for a structural as well as a facade makeover. Installing state-of-the-art appliances and fixtures breathed new life into this beautiful home.</p>
<p><strong>Restore</strong>~ The original dining room cabinetry was well built and in pretty good shape.  It just needed our expert woodworking to restore it to its original luster.  The result is seamless and beautiful.</p>
<p><strong>Rekindle</strong>~ The floors have been completely redone, the fixtures all updated, the walls painted a bright clean color throughout, and the kitchen and baths updated and opened up for more space ~ this home and its owners have a renewed sense of pride.</p>
