Q & A With Centurion Homes

Thanks for all the questions and comments on Centurion Homes Facebook Page.  Please feel free to ask questions and leave comments on this blog too.  The question below was posted and this is our response:

Q: Other than carpeting, is there any other type of flooring you can put on stairs?


A: You can put any flooring you like on stairs. As alternatives to carpet, Wood/Bullnose planks, tile, laminate, etc... will wear better and look nicer for much longer; but they can be slippery and will cost as much as replacing carpet three times. Not to mention they'd hurt like heck to fall on. Yes, I'm a klutz and have tumbled a set of stairs or two in my day. Dang sure glad they were carpet.

Basement Finish

As promised Centurion Homes, your Utah General Contractor, is posting pictures of the basement completion in Eagle Mountain.  Finishing this small basement added a living room complete with build-ins, a bathroom with a jetted tub and granite shower surround and a large spare bedroom.  The project went smoothly and turned out perfect.  Finishing your basement is an economic way of adding valuable square footage to your home.  Centurion Homes has finished numerous basements all over Salt Lake and Utah Counties.  If you are interested in a free bid to finish your basement, feel free to contact us.

Eagle Mountain Remodel

Centurion Homes was proud to be the Utah General Contractor on this beautiful remodel in Eagle Mountain.  Our clients purchased this home brand new from a builder who had built it as a model home. It was filled with plain finishes and bland appeal.  Rather than moving, our clients decided to make this house everything they wanted.  I think you will agree that Centurion Homes was able to turn this "Plain Jane" house into a gorgeous home.  In many rooms the remodel involved a simple coat of paint and new counter top.  In other areas the renovations were more extensive.  If you are thinking of moving call Centurion Homes first and see if we can create your dream house without packing a single box.  Renovating may be more affordable than you think!

This house was purchased with and unfinished basement.  Centurion Homes was hired to come back and finish the basement as well.  Finishing your basement can add valuable square footage at a reasonable price.  *The basement pictures will be shown in a separate post.

Sugar House Remodel

Centurion Homes was selected to be the Utah General Contractor on this massive remodel in Sugar House.  The  home owners loved their neighborhood and charming little house but needed more space for their growing family.  They decided to expand and renovate their home rather than move.  Centurion Homes was challenged to keep the quaint architecture and curb appeal, while expanding the size of the home.  It was a huge success!

We expanded the home on the back side adding square footage to the main level and basement.  We were able to keep the character of the home while adding all the modern conveniences.  Our clients were so pleased with the result and the way Centurion Homes handled each step of the project that they have referred us to several of their friends.  Gaining a referral is the best compliment Centurion Homes can receive.

If you are on the fence about starting your home project because you are leery of General Contractors, we would be happy to put you in touch with our past customers.  We are confident they will all give us a glowing review.

Q & A With Centurion Homes

The question below was posted on our Centurion Homes Facebook page and we thought we'd share our response.  As a General Contractor we enjoy sharing the knowledge we've acquired over the years.  If you have a question regarding finishes, where to get the best deal on fixtures, stuck on a DIY project or any construction related question or tip - feel free to leave a comment on the blog or a question on our facebook page.  You can click on the facebook icon to be connected to our page.  We will do our best to give you a solid answer built from experience.

Q: "Any thoughts on a laminate or similar wood looking hard floor in a basement?"

A: "When doing a wood floor in a basement an engineered wood will perform better than a laminate but neither one will withstand high volumes of moisture very well. Engineered wood is produced in wood ply that is glued and compressed in opposing directions which gives it great strength but allows for flexibility to withstand temperature/humidity fluctuation."

Bathroom Remodel

Centurion Homes was hired to be the General Contractor on this bathroom remodel.  It was a quick job to demo and bring this old bathroom back to life.  We added a jetted tub, cultured marble shower surround, tile floors, new vanity, fixtures, walls and a fresh coat of paint.  If you are thinking about freshening up your bathroom, we can typically be in and out within a week.  Leaving you and your holiday guests to enjoy a crisp new bath.
