Set Apart Home Solutions

Not every problem needs the most expensive solution.

Several companies told this homeowner their only option was a full gut and remodel. While a full replacement will eventually be needed due to an improper original install, it wasn’t the right solution for right now.

Instead, we offered a cost-effective regrout and reseal to: ✔ Stop active leaks
✔ Refresh the appearance
✔ Extend the life of the shower
✔ Buy them time to save for a proper replacement

All for a fraction of the cost.

At Set Apart Home Solutions, we believe real craftsmanship includes honesty, options, and meeting people where they are — not forcing the biggest ticket job.

Sometimes the best solution isn’t the most expensive one.
Sometimes it’s the one that actually helps.

If your shower looks tired, leaks, or you’re being told “it all has to come out,” feel free to reach out for a second opinion.

Professional. Reliable. Set Apart.

This old attic opening was too small, awkward to use, and had a worn-out access panel. We rebuilt the entire frame and installed a larger, cleaner, more functional attic door — complete with a new aluminum ladder, not the cheap wood style that becomes shaky over time.

The upgrade gives the homeowner:
✔️ A wider, easier-to-use opening
✔️ A clean, finished ceiling look
✔️ A safe, sturdy aluminum ladder for climbing
✔️ Better access for storage and seasonal items
✔️ Long-lasting durability and smooth operation

This is the perfect kind of small home improvement that boosts safety, convenience, and appearance — without the cost of a big remodel.

If your attic access is too small, unsafe, or ready for an upgrade, I can replace it quickly.

Nothing makes a home look tired faster than a rotten exterior door.
This one had water damage, loose trim, and a failing frame — so we removed everything and installed a brand-new, secure, properly sealed door that will last for years.

A clean upgrade like this:
✔️ Improves curb appeal
✔️ Stops drafts & water intrusion
✔️ Increases security
✔️ Eliminates rot before it spreads
✔️ Makes your entry look new again

If you’ve got a soft, drafty, or damaged door… now’s a great time to get it replaced before winter really sets in.

A Quick Reminder to Protect Your Home

At Set Apart Home Solutions, we care about more than just the finished look — we care about the foundation behind it.

This shower is a perfect example of why proper waterproofing and installation matter so much in a wet space. The sad part... it was only a few years old, but because the thin set wasn’t applied correctly, the homeowner dealt with:
• A constant musty smell
• Weekly scrubbing that never helped
• Hidden moisture behind the tile

A bathroom holds a tremendous amount of water every day. When shortcuts are taken behind the walls, problems show up fast — even when the surface still looks “okay.”

We share this because we truly care about homeowners.

Before choosing any contractor, always make sure they’re willing to show you the process, not just the finished photos. Transparency matters, and you deserve to know your home is being protected the right way.

Thank you for trusting us with your homes, your families, and your peace of mind.
Professional. Reliable. Set Apart.

From cramped tub to custom spa shower.

We took out the old fiberglass tub/shower and builder-grade finishes and gave this bathroom a full upgrade:
• Walk-in tile shower with rain head + handheld
• Built-in niches for storage
• New hex tile floor
• New vanity, lighting and fixtures in warm gold tones

If your bathroom feels dated or hard to clean, we can help you turn it into a space you actually enjoy using every day.
