Find The Perfect Flooring
With so many flooring options to consider, it can be hard to make sense of what will work best in your home. Here are a few facts to consider when choosing flooring materials for your kitchen or bathroom remodel.
Cheaper materials may show wear and tear more quickly.
Laminate flooring is a perfect example. Its low price point makes it popular, but homeowners that opt for laminate flooring may end up with scuffed, warped floors sooner rather than later. Read more about why you shouldn’t choose laminate flooring here!
Waterproof flooring is best for kitchens and bathrooms.
Waterproof and water-resistant are not the same. In places where water spillage is likely, you’ll want to ensure your materials aren’t prone to warping or discoloration when exposed to moisture.
There are flooring options for every family and lifestyle.
Our selection of flooring includes pet-proof, slip-resistant, and easy-to-clean options! We supply high-quality flooring brands that take everyday needs into account.
Choose Countertops That Look Great & Last
Your kitchen and bathroom countertops see a lot of use over their lifespan. With hot kitchen gadgets, liquids all around, and plenty of daily messes, quality has to come first when choosing your countertops.
Start by figuring out which material works for your space.
Before focusing on pattern and texture, make a choice about what materials work for your space. For example, there are pros and cons to choosing quartz vs. granite. Knowing the best material for your home can give you a better starting point in our countertop search.
Make sure to consider maintenance and longevity.
Our quartz and granite countertop options are all a dream for long-term use in busy homes. With low maintenance, easy cleaning, and resistance to stains, these countertops will continue to look beautiful for years to come.

Enhance Your Home With Cabinetry
Cabinets can transform your kitchen or bathroom during your DIY remodel. If you haven’t shopped for cabinets recently, you may be surprised by the new options available to upgrade your kitchen.
Be aware of the tradeoff between durability and affordability in cabinet materials.
To lower the overall cost of cabinetry, some options use particle board as the main component. Particle board doesn’t perform well near moisture, making it a material to avoid in your kitchen and bathroom. Opt for plywood cabinet boxes for sturdier, longer-lasting cabinetry.
Make your kitchen feel luxurious with soft-close cabinet doors and custom accessories.
Straight Line Construction offers the finest selection of cabinets, complete with all the features to make your DIY renovation feel extravagant. You have to see these features for yourself! Visit us in Gainesville/ Alachua and Ocala for the best selection of cabinet supplies.
Don’t Forget About Plumbing Fixtures
Have you considered how plumbing will affect your kitchen or bathroom remodel? Above all else, convenient and functional plumbing fixtures are a necessity for everyday ease. A luxurious new showerhead or a spacious soaking tub can transform how you relax at home.
Modernizing your plumbing fixtures goes a long way in updating the entire room.
Fixtures that were popular when your home was built can make your entire kitchen or bathroom feel outdated. Newer features like zero-entry showers and waterfall shower heads can make your home look decades newer.
Practical updates can change how you cook, clean, and relax.
Some new design trends bring added function to your daily life at home. For example, pot fillers and touch-activated sinks make working in the kitchen cleaner and more enjoyable. Even tried-and-true updates like garbage disposals and handheld sprayers can make life easier and add to the resale value of your home.
A Guide To Lighting Fixtures
Many homeowners underestimate the impact that light has on their interior design. Lighting fixtures are a crucial aspect of your home renovation. The perfect lighting enhances the aesthetic of the entire room while providing just the right amount of light to illuminate your space.
Note the current lighting issues in your home before making design decisions.
What areas of your home feel dark? When you start to plan out your new lighting, decide where you need stronger lights and where you should add more lighting.
Match each area with the amount of light you’ll need.
Light can set the mood or make your tasks easier, so it’s important to have just the right amount. Make a note of cozy spaces that need ambient lighting, work areas that require brightness, and opportunities to add decorative and accent lights.
Choose lighting fixtures that amplify your interior design.
With so many ways to light up a room, you can use your fixtures to add to your overall style. A modern look might benefit from recessed LED lighting, while a transitional style could use accent lighting that mixes classical and clean elements.
