Remodeling

Smart home technology has come a long way in the past few years, moving from a fun add-on to a practical, valuable part of everyday living. As homeowners look for ways to make their spaces more efficient, comfortable, and future-ready, smart upgrades have become one of the most exciting parts of remodeling. At LBK Design Build, we’ve seen firsthand how thoughtful integration of these systems can completely transform the way clients enjoy their homes.

In every home, there should be at least one space that feels completely your own. A place to unwind, recharge, and start or end each day in peace. For one Villanova homeowner, that space became a newly reimagined primary bath.

Considering a home addition? Whether you need extra space for a growing family, room for entertaining, or are taking in an elderly parent, this guide offers a straight-forward way to ensure your project succeeds.

We recently launched a podcast, Elevate & Renovate, where we dive into common questions about renovation, remodeling, design, and construction. In the first episode, LBK’s President and CEO Nick Kornea discussed an important reality when hiring a contractor for your remodel: you can choose “Good, Fast, or Cheap” — but each choice comes with its own implications for your project. You can watch the whole episode below or on YouTube. Here’s a summary of our conversation.

Our award-winning kitchen remodel: clever layout rework, mixed materials, warm floors, hidden storage – all while respecting the home’s style.

Interior design trends are always evolving to reflect shifts in lifestyle, technology, and homeowner priorities. In and around Bucks County, where homes balance historic character with modern functionality, the design trends for 2025 emphasize comfort, sustainability, and timeless appeal.

When LBK gets called in to remodel a primary suite, there tends to be two very different types that homeowners are looking for. The first is the utilitarian suite where they can sleep comfortably, keep closets organized, and get ready efficiently. The other – the one we will discuss today – is the sanctuary suite where the homeowners can retreat, relax, and renew.

We recently featured several projects on our Facebook page that showcased stunning tile designs that we used in kitchen and bath remodels. We mentioned briefly how playing with patterns can make a big impact on a room, but let’s take a deeper dive into what that entails.
