Our Missouri construction company offers a wide variety of services for new construction, remodeling, and storm damage repair. To do this, we also have a wide range of products that we have fully researched, seen in action, and know are the best quality to use for both commercial and residential construction. 


Occasionally we will use this blog to highlight some of those products. Today Midwest Renovation would like to tell you about Boral Versetta Stone®. This is a mortarless, cement-based, manufactured stone veneer. It gives you the impressive look of real, traditional stone masonry, but it is much easier to install, as well as a more affordable option. There are some great reasons why this may be a product you want to use on your home or office. 

• Fast & Easy
  This material does not need to be painted, coated, or sealed. It also does not need additional footings for support as real stone would. It is lightweight, and the entire project can be finished much quicker than traditional masonry would take. There are no seasonal restrictions on installation, so you can begin a project using this project any time of the year.
  
• Beautiful Outdoors & Indoors
  This incredible product not only gives the outside of a building an attractive look, but it can also be used for indoor projects. These photos demonstrate that wonderfully.

• Eco-Friendly
  Boral Versetta Stone® is made from a minimum of 50% recycled content, and that fact has been validated by UL Environment. It is also a National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Research Center Green Approved product. 

As if those weren't enough reasons to convince you to take a closer look at Boral Versetta Stone®, the company also backs their product with a 50-year limited warranty. This is in addition to Midwest Renovation's own 5-year installation warranty for commercial and residential customers.

Our mid-Missouri renovation company offers a wide variety of residential and commercial construction and repair services all over the state. While some of these services may pertain to either home or office updates, wall vinyl is a product that can benefit both types of spaces. Midwest Renovation is an expert when it comes to applying wall vinyl to make your space look great with material that is built to last. 


Wall Vinyl For Your Home
Wallpaper has come a long way over the years. Regular wallpaper can be easily torn, and it doesn't do extremely well in moist environments, like bathrooms and kitchens. Vinyl wallpaper, on the other hand, can. Here are a few reasons why you may want to add it to some of the rooms in your house. 

• Easy to Clean
  In most cases, all it takes to clean off vinyl wallpaper is a damp rag. This is extremely handy for families with small, rambunctious children with messy fingerprints. It also easily withstands grease and other dirt.
  
• Hides Wall Imperfections
  Wall vinyl comes in a variety of different thicknesses. This makes it easier to cover up imperfections in a wall, such as small cracks or slightly uneven areas. Paint tends to highlight these problem areas rather than hide them.
  
• Provides Texture & Color
  You can find many different colors, as well as gorgeous patterns, in vinyl wallpaper. It even comes in textured varieties, which can add a wonderful architectural element to your home decor.
  
• Long-Lasting
  Since it is thicker and has a coating of vinyl over the top, this type of wall covering is much more durable than regular wallpaper. It's toughness means that it can withstand a lot of wear, lengthening its life span. Stains typically do not soak through the vinyl covering, which also helps to make it last must longer. 

Wall Vinyl For Your Business
Many of the reasons listed above also make vinyl wallpaper an excellent choice for the wall covering in an office or commercial building. In addition to the ease of cleaning and extreme durability, it can also be a wonderful way to brand your business while adding to the overall look. 

Wall vinyl can be customized to have your logo, murals, or inspirational sayings placed upon your walls. It can be used to impress customers, and it's also great for increasing moral in the workplace. A few reasons to consider this type of customized wall vinyl for your business are:

• Brand Recognition
  Having your logo covering an entire wall that can be seen the second someone enters the building is an excellent way to reinforce brand recognition.
  
• Show Off Your Work
  Show clients some of the work you have done with giant vinyl murals on the walls of your business. If you are in the business of selling, you can show happy customers enjoying your products.
  
• Inspire Employees
  You can have inspirational sayings printed onto vinyl wallpaper that helps to make the work environment a positive and encouraging place to be. Bright, inspirational designs can even make it a more pleasant environment to be in rather than a plain, neutral color. 

There are many ways to improve the look of your home, one of which is making sure you have proper lighting in every room. Lighting is one of the many residential and commercial constructions services in Missouri that we offer. Whether you want to make a small change or completely remodel all of the lighting in your house, Midwest Renovation can make that happen. 


3 Sources of Light
You should strive to have three types of light in every room. The main source of light, generally overhead lighting, is the first. Next add task lighting, which illuminates the extra corners that are used most often in a room. Finally, some decorative lighting can add to both the decor and the architecture. 

New Lighting Ideas
Your main source of light in a room can also double as the room's focal point. A beautiful chandelier is perfect for this. If you prefer to spread the overhead lighting out, there is a wide array of pendant lights to choose from. Adding illumination below cabinets does double-duty as task lighting for functionality, like in a kitchen or bathroom, plus it adds an interesting decorative look. One of the best ways to improve the lighting in a bathroom is to add it to both sides of the main mirror, eliminating shadows. 

Energy Efficient Lighting Tips
Having dimmers installed so that you have control over the amount of light being used at different times for different situations is a wonderful way to save energy. You can even have lighting installed that is connected to a motion sensor that will turn off on its own when you leave the room. One tip that doesn't involve a change to the lighting is to paint the room in a light-colored shade that will reflect the bulbs of your current lighting, making it seem brighter. 

Instead of Light Bulbs...
Actual lights aren't the only way to make a room brighter and more appealing. If you like a soft glow, you may want to add a fireplace to your bedroom or living room. Consider adding new windows to a room to take advantage of natural light. Midwest Renovation offers an extensive selection of quality windows and doors by ViWinTech. We can even provide customized sizes and specialty shapes.  


Making even the smallest home improvements can add to the enjoyment of living there, and if you decide to sell your house in the future, they can add value to the asking price. We can take care of a large variety of renovations to a home or office in Missouri. We guarantee the quality of the work that we do and the excellent customer service that we deliver it with.
