The decision to add the stairs to the remodel scope was straightforward. DreamMaker replaced the non-compliant railing with a new code-compliant version and replaced the stair flooring with LVP matching the newly installed kitchen flooring. Safety addressed; visual cohesion achieved.

About The Neighborhood

Ogden is one of Northern Utah’s most sought-after communities — a vibrant, family-friendly city with beautiful homes, tree-lined neighborhoods, and an easy pace that belies its proximity to Salt Lake City’s booming business corridor.

The Challenge

What Was Not Working

Before the remodel, the space faced several challenges:

Like many homes in Cave Springs, the master bath retained its original footprint — creating real functional limitations for a busy household and making what should be a personal retreat feel like an afterthought.

BEFORE:

“Adding the stairs to the kitchen remodel was an easy decision once we saw the railing was not up to code. DreamMaker handled it seamlessly and the floors match perfectly now.”

The Solution

Built Around Safety First and Visual Cohesion Throughout.

To solve the bathroom’s layout and style challenges, DreamMaker redesigned the master bath with improved flow, custom storage, natural light, and a clean modern finish. Removing the unused Jacuzzi unlocked the footprint entirely, custom cabinetry made every inch purposeful, and thoughtful material choices brought the spa-like atmosphere the homeowners had always wanted.
