When remodeling your home, be sure to take advantage of the latest technological applications.
While much attention gets paid to AI, semiconductors and other revolutionary developments, an unsung beneficiary of modern technology is home applications. If you’re planning a home remodeling project, it’s a good idea to incorporate some of the latest and greatest innovations. “Everything in our industry has become high-tech over the last couple of decades,” affirms Michael Abrishamcar, owner of Peninsula Design and Construction in Hayward. “A lot of amazing innovations have come onto the market, with home automation making things more functional and convenient for today’s homeowners.”
One such innovation that Mr. Abrishamcar highlights is smart smoke detectors. “Smoke detectors used to be battery-powered, which made them less reliable,” he says. “The new smoke detectors are hardwired to the home’s electrical system, which increases reliability and safety. They’re considered ‘smart’ because they can be monitored and controlled via a smartphone app. That’s a common theme we’re seeing in these new home applications—they give homeowners more control to program and adjust things remotely.”
Other examples of modern home applications include automated lighting systems, window covering products and irrigation systems. “With the tap of your finger, you can customize lighting levels, open or close your window shades, and turn on your garden sprinklers,” explains Mr. Abrishamcar. “Of course, you can also program these things to adjust automatically at specific times of day. There’s even leak detection for your plumbing system, where your app will alert you if there’s a leak. It’s pretty incredible to see how far technology has come in terms of residential applications. If you’re remodeling your home, it’s a great time to incorporate some of these new innovations.”
Maintaining customer satisfaction is a key component of any successful business, but it’s even more important for design/build contractors that have earned Diamond Certified. For Peninsula Design and Construction, the best way to keep clients happy is to bring an uncommon depth of experience to their projects. “I have a background in architecture, so I’m able to give project recommendations that improve upon the original design, whether it’s to maximize functionality or help the client save money,” explains owner Michael Abrishamcar. “There’s a real benefit to working with a contractor who brings an architectural perspective.”
Peninsula Design and Construction has been offering remodeling and construction services to residential and commercial clients in San Mateo, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties since 2016. The company is qualified to take on everything from basic home repairs and carpentry to ground-up construction projects, and it also provides project management services for those who want guidance throughout the building process.
Unlike less experienced contractors that take a “hands-off” approach to keeping their customers informed, Peninsula Design and Construction walks alongside its clients throughout each step of their projects. “A lot of people feel nervous about starting a building project because they don’t really know what they’re getting into,” offers Mr. Abrishamcar. “If it’s a client’s first time, I’ll hold their hand and educate them about the process so they know what to expect. This puts their mind at ease and lets them enjoy the job instead of feeling on edge.”
Another distinguishing attribute of Peninsula Design and Construction is its dedication to quality control in every aspect of its operations. “Following each phase of the job, I check the subcontractor’s work to make sure it fulfills the project requirements and my expectations for quality,” says Mr. Abrishamcar. “I’ll also check in with the client to make sure they’re satisfied and see if they want any adjustments.”
