Introduction to Cork Flooring by Remodel West

RemodelWest has been designing and remodeling homes since 1992. Just recently we have noticed a trend in using cork material as a flooring solution. We thought we would take the opportunity to share a few quick facts about Cork.

RemodelWest uses several tools to help homeowners get a grasp on the possibilities that best fit their needs and wants. In particular, www.houzz.com, has been a valuable resource for both homeowners and designers to communicate their wishes and expectations for the outcome of their remodel project.

New Kitchen Remodel Completed in Saratoga, Ca

Remodel West first visited this home in July of 2010 to take initial measurements and assess existing conditions of the house.

Cupertino Resident Recommends Remodel West.

This review came through my LinkedIn account.  If you are not yet LinkedIn I recommend you check it out as a good source to keep in touch with your colleagues. “I hired Bill’s company to do a complete remodel of my 1970s-era kitchen. The designers were very good about listening to my “vision” and implementing it. The construction team and the subcontractors were great; superb quality, excellent work ethic, and wonderful follow-up. The job went well, and when there was an issue, Bill and his team jumped on it and made it right for me. I highly recommend Bill and his company.” April 23, 2010 Top qualities: Great Results , On Time , High Integrity Elinora M. hired Bill as a General Contractor in 2009…
