A Word From the Faulkenbery Family
October is here, and with it comes football weekends, busy school schedules, and hopefully a few cooler Texas evenings. It’s also the time of year when home starts to become the center of everything again. Family dinners, game days, holiday plans, and more time spent together are right around the corner. If there’s a space in your home that isn’t working quite the way you’d like, now is a good time to start thinking about what could make it better. Maybe it’s a kitchen that needs more room for everyone to gather, a bathroom that could be more functional, or an outdoor space you want to enjoy when the temperatures finally cooperate.
As always, we’re grateful for the families who trust us with their homes and allow us to be part of their projects.
Get Your Kitchen Holiday-Ready
Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here before we know it, and the kitchen usually becomes one of the busiest rooms in the house.
If hosting this year has you noticing everything you’d change about your kitchen, start making that list. More counter space, better storage, improved lighting, or a layout that makes it easier to cook while still joining the conversation can make a big difference.
A remodel may not happen before this year’s holiday meal, but starting the conversation now can put you in a great position to have a kitchen you’ll love gathering in for holidays to come.
October Is Made For Outdoor Living
This is the time of year we wait for in Texas. Football is on, evenings are getting cooler, and spending a little more time outside finally sounds pretty good.
A covered patio, outdoor kitchen, screened-in porch, or enclosed bonus space can give your family another place to gather without feeling disconnected from the rest of the home. Add comfortable seating and a TV, and you’ve got a great spot for Saturday football, family dinners, or a quiet evening outside.
With thoughtful planning, an outdoor living space can become an extension of your home that you enjoy throughout the year.
Aging in Place: Start With the Bathroom
If you’re thinking about how your home can continue working for you in the years ahead, the bathroom is a smart place to start. Features like a curbless shower, strategically placed grab bars, improved lighting, non-slip flooring, and easy-to-reach storage can make everyday routines safer and more comfortable without making the room feel clinical.
The goal is to create a bathroom that works well now while also making life easier down the road.
Corbett's Monthly Tip: Check Your Home Before Cooler Weather
Before fall weather settles in, take a walk around your home and look for the little maintenance issues that are easy to overlook during summer. Check exterior caulking around windows and doors, look for damaged weatherstripping, clean out gutters, and make sure outdoor drainage areas are clear. It’s also a good time to check windows for drafts or signs that they’re no longer sealing properly.
A little attention now can help keep your home more comfortable and prevent small issues from becoming bigger repairs later.
Planning A Remodel? Start Earlier Than You Think
If a home project is on your wish list for the end of the year or early 2027, now is a good time to start the conversation. Remodeling takes planning. From working through ideas and creating a design to selecting materials and preparing for construction, getting started early gives you more time to make thoughtful decisions without feeling rushed. Whether you’re considering a kitchen, bathroom, outdoor living space, or another update to your home, we’d love to hear what you have in mind.

A shower base is a pan that serves as the bottom of a shower. It is typically made of fiberglass, acrylic, or stone and helps to contain water within the shower. A shower base is an important part of a shower as it helps to prevent water from leaking out and damaging the floor.

There are a few things to consider when trying to decide whether a tiled shower or an acrylic shower is right for you. First, think about your budget. Tiled showers can be more expensive to install than acrylic showers, so if cost is a factor, acrylic may be the better option. Second, think about maintenance. Acrylic showers are easier to clean and require less upkeep than tiled showers. Finally, think about your personal preferences. Do you prefer the look of tile, or the ease of acrylic? Ultimately, the decision comes down to what you value most in a shower.
