A New Space = A New Escape
A finished basement and attic serve as an escape for family members, visiting guests, work-at-home parents and devoted hobbyists.

Water Falls and Not Only
Upgrade bath tubs and showers to include spa-like sprays, jets, steams, perhaps a sauna and of course app-controlled, energy efficient features.
