			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the not so recent downturn in new housing construction in the Cleveland area,  there is a flood of people coming into the home remodeling business who are not truly qualified home remodelers. Some of them are General Contractors or Home Builders. Because of this it is very easy to get so called “remodelers” to be very competitive in their bidding. You will probably be getting several estimates for your project before you begin and I can bet that you will be thinking you need to go for the lowest or even middle price bid. The one thing you should really consider when doing a remodeling project as opposed to a new construction project is the details that are involved with a bathroom remodel or kitchen remodel.</p>
<p>The details that have to be thought out ahead of time truly need to be managed by and experienced remodeler and not a building contractor. Why you ask? Because home builders build large projects and sub-contract out all the different areas of the house. The kitchen and the bathrooms are usually designed by the architect or designer, not the contractor. The contractor is an expert at overseeing the project not designing the project.</p>
<p>Another group of “remodelers” you will run across these days is the independent contractor who is an experienced carpenter or plumber perhaps. Again, they are experts in their fields but not experts in overseeing and designing a home remodel.</p>
<p>When looking to do a home improvement project you should first think about getting your free bathroom remodel estimate from a qualified remodeler not a home builder. Gerome’s Kitchens &amp; Baths in Cleveland has been in the remodeling business for over 50 yrs. Not the home building business or general contracting business. We are experts in our field and we know what details to be concerned with. We have streamlined our process to run smoothly. We guide you through step by step, we give you realistic costs and expert design. Our 50 plus years of experience has put us into just about every situation possible so we can look at your project and think about which questions to ask and what to expect before we tear down a wall or pull up a floor. Our professional carpenters, plumbers and electricians have been with us for decades and are even second generation with us.</p>
<p>We also have a <a href="http://www.geromes.com/virtual-showroom/the-bath" title="Bathroom Showroom">bathroom showroom</a> for you to come into so we can thoroughly plan your project. We have cabinetry, tubs, sinks, bath &amp; kitchen fixtures for you to see samples of. A lot of non-remodelers will send you off to Home Depot to pick our your products on your own.  We have a wealth of knowledge of the latest products and a long-standing relationship with our suppliers so we can give you the custom choices you are looking for.</p>
