How to Organize Your Bathroom

Posted on by Nicole

If cleaning up your bathroom is on your to-do list then we have some tips on how to organize your bathroom. Here’s a list of suggestions that made our top 5:

Installing shelves. Besides just a regular medicine cabinet, you could install shelves to organize all of your toiletries. Spice racks make a great bathroom DIY project.

A Shower Caddy. At times the hair products may get out of control. A multi-shelf caddy will save the day.

A Leaning Shelf. A leaning shelf that fits right over the toilet, will help save space and make a great place to organize towels and other necessities.

Laundry Bin. To keep all of your clothes off the floor and ready for the laundry – the right laundry bin with matching color to your bathroom’s theme is a good addition.

Towel Hooks. This is a classy way to organize all family member’s towels. Each person gets their own hook and keeps your towels off the floor.

House Paint Services

Choosing The Right Paint for Your Home

Posted on by Nicole

When it comes time to paint NIC Construction & Electrical is here to get the job done.

However, these types of questions come up quite a bit. What type of paint should I use? What’s the right sheen for my house? Flat. Semi-gloss. Eggshell. What’s the best paint for my living room?

We answer these questions below:

1. What brand of paint should I use? The industry standard is paint from Dunn Edwards. They make a quality product but can be pricey. Other options include Home Depot. They have a great line of Behr paints. Lowes also offers a full line of Sherwin-Williams paints. Think of your budget and get the best you can for your home.

2. What type of sheen of paint should I use on my home’s exterior?
This is a matter of function and taste. Flat paint is the norm for the exteriors of most homes. Flat paint hides any blemishes and won’t show lap marks. It’s downfall though is it’s hard to clean. One answer to this is to use a satin/eggshell which has a slight sheen yet tough enough to keep clean. Of course, semi-gloss paint can be used for trim, and doors and has washability.

3. What type of paint should I use on the interior of my home?
This is another personal choice. Flat paints in the interior – light greys are especially popular. However, if you have kids that could be a problem. As with the exterior, flat paints on the interior do not have a good washability rating. Families with kids should use a paint with at least an eggshell sheen. Dunn-Edwards offers Suprema Velvet product line which is great for families.

Shower Feature

Remodeling Your Tub to a Shower

Posted on by Nicole

The cost to remodel a shower on average is $3,800. You may have an older tub that you now want a new tiled stall shower.

This is possible and will increase the value of your home. Home buyers are already looking for remodeled bathrooms. There are many designs and options to choose from as you move forward with your remodeling.

The trend today is to take the old tub and create a luxurious walk-in shower. You may want a new shower head with multiple settings of pressure. Does the design complement your home? Don’t fall for current fads if the fixture won’t be able to stand the test of time. Here are some examples of the latest in shower heads.

Tile. The right tile can set the mood and correct style for your bathroom and home. Perhaps a nice marble, or travertine tile. Others may like ceramic or porcelain which is affordable and looks nice. On the more expensive end would be granite or polished stone.

Lighting. The icing on cake. Adding beautiful lighting in your newly created shower will give you the ambience, mood for the bathroom. Placement is important, whether it’s the ceiling or even the walls.

Finding an experienced contractor such as NIC Construction & Electrical is going to help you get the most for your money and a bathroom you will love. Call 661-600-2851 today or

Picture Recessed Lighting

What Type of Recessed Lighting is Available?

Posted on by Nicole

There are many types of recessed lighting available. Here’s a look at the different types and features of each.

Open Trim:  This type of recessed trim is flush with the ceiling and allows for the bulb to protrude a little from the surface. This type of trim normally allows for more light to reflect out by not restricting the light from the bulb.

Pinhole Trim: Works to keep the light to a tight single beam. Spotlight type of effect and is used to highlight certain areas of a room.

Baffle Trim: One of the most popular of recessed lights. This light has a ribbed interior that helps reflect light and reduce glare. The light bulb placement is made easier by this design also.

Shower Trim: Like it’s name sake this fixture is perfect for showers, and bathrooms. The light is made with tempered glass to withstand moisture.

Wall-Wash Trim: Like it’s name sake this fixture is perfect for showers, and bathrooms. The Trim face is made with tempered glass to withstand moisture.

One of the nice things about lighting trims is they are made to fit many different recessed lighting applications and come in various styles, colors and sizes to fit a range of recessed fixtures from the simple incandescent bulb type to the more energy efficient LED lighting fixtures.
