Challenges & Solutions

Full - Length Mirrors & Bowed Walls

Full - Length Mirrors & Bowed Walls

Challenge:

Installing wall-to-wall full-length mirrors posed a challenge for this project. The walls needed to be perfectly plum in order for the mirrors to sit flat against the walls.

Solution:

Multiple adjustments were made to the framing and drywall to ensure the mirrors were hung properly and would support the weight over time.

What to Expect

1

Design Phase

This project was designed by Rachel Henry of Sanctuary Designs. Rachel worked closely with the client and worked through the overall floor plan, material selections, tile pattern, color palettes & textures that make this space complete.

2

Project Planning

During the design phase, we worked with Rachel & the client to establish a realistic budget for the project, timeframe, start date and more. Once the designs were completed, selections were made we had all the information to present a formal proposal.

3

Customer Onboarding:

The customer is given access to Buildertrend, a platform where we manage all of our projects, providing the customer with daily updates for completed phases, submit change orders, secured payments & more.

Project Preparation:

With the designs confirmed, selections made, budget set, time frame arranged & signed project proposal it was time to get started. With all material selections made, ordering was made easy. We ordered all the materials directly to our shop in preparation for the project start date and ensured all items were indeed correct and intact. Just one damaged item could have caused unnecessary lead time.
