The Home Garden and Lifestyle Show is this weekend at the Washington Farms Council Ground Saturday and Sunday it's going to be a great show and everyone's looking forward to it joining us today to talk about his offerings in the show we welcome Shane Sullivan. He is owner of SRS remodeling in Selene.
He's a dedicated professional known for delivering high quality craftsmanship and personalized service.
I am in love with your photos on your website. We're going to give everyone the address in a moment here, but the tile work you do is superb.
Thank you.
Just gorgeous and you trained under someone who he's now retired but was excellent in our areas.
Yeah, so I trained under Jamie Trumbull from second edition. He was in the Ann Harbor area working probably 30 years as a remodel or an addition builder.
So yeah, you just do gorgeous work. Tell me a little bit about yourself and it you don't the apple doesn't fall too far from from the tree because your mom is the head of the builders and remodellers association of greater Ann Arbor Andrea Seleme.
She is fantastic does a great job and they are putting on the show this weekend at the Washington Farms Council.
Yeah, yeah, it should be a great show. It's packed. I've been talking to her and she said she's sold out.
Yeah, we're happy to have the show and hopefully a lot of people come out and visit and talk with us.
That's great. How old were you and you knew you wanted to go into this line of work?
You know, I can't really put a pin on it. I just know that ever since I was young, I loved putting things together like building furniture pieces and stuff like that.
And I've always liked hard work. You know, I work with my hands all day, get to go home relax. I can look at what I've done, be proud of it.
So that's kind of what I.
You did the lower level of the Bregan Arbor offices off of Little Lake Drive there.
Yeah, it was a great honor to be able to do the remodel down there.
That's so nice because that's a beautiful event space and it pours out onto an area that has a fire pit and the lake and back there and it's really nice.
People can actually rent that out, which is great. What did you do in there?
So I ended up doing all the cabinet work. I installed the cabinets. I ripped off all the carpet that was in there.
There was glued down to the concrete. So that was quite a feat.
We redid all the base moldings in the lower level.
You did a gorgeous concrete floor too.
Yeah, so that was from a contractor that is, I don't think he's a brag member, but he's in the Southeast Michigan area and he travels.
I actually all over the country to do floors for stores and stuff.
Wow, it's really beautiful. And leading up to that gorgeous island and the kitchen behind there.
Yeah, it was really important to kind of integrate some stuff to clear space.
So we have integrated microwave cabinet as well as lots of storage for rental supplies for the renters to use.
It's great to see that because people get an idea of what they can do in their own home as well.
So let's talk a little bit about all the different things that you do with your company, SRS remodeling.
So SRS remodeling, we kind of more focus on kitchens and bathrooms, but we also do other kind of remodels.
We do just tile work, we do floors, we do repairs for walls and everything like that.
So from big to small, we really do it all.
What are some of the common homeowner issues that you encounter?
So a lot of people have aging bathrooms and a lot of people don't know that the industry standard for the age of like a shower.
They're only supposed to last 10 to 15 years.
Are you kidding? I didn't know that.
How many people in the Ann Arbor region are sitting there in 30, 40, 50 year olds?
I know, I know, yeah, yeah.
And it's not just aesthetically that it doesn't go into this time, right?
No, it's so the older methods of how they used to build showers, you know, the waterproofing can fail.
You could have mold behind your walls just from water penetration.
And that's always the challenge with showers is to keep them as watertight as possible.
So you don't have to worry about that.
And their technology has changed.
Yeah, so there's lots of innovations.
No more concrete shower pans anymore.
It's a lot of it is new foams with waterproof membranes on top.
So it's all encompassed in one thing.
It's a lot quicker.
And it's a lot more efficient for the builder.
And it's a lot more efficient for the customer because you have less downtime.
So, you know, you can get packed using your space.

Oh, what are those?
Just did a couple of bathrooms this past year from the show.
So I'm grateful to have people who reach out at the show.
Actually, you know, come and visit me and we can get your bathrooms done.
So got some bathroom pictures.
I love the tile work.
Some other tile did in the shower.
This blue gray combination.
That is gorgeous.
That was a very pretty shower that we put together.
Yeah.
How hard was that to do?
Doing the layout.
So those are kind of like art deco style tiles.
So all the blues are different.
They all come in the same box.
So you kind of have to figure out how to blend them together.
So you don't have like a big patch of like a darker blue.
And then the lighter blue.
Right.
So you got to blend them very well.
Yeah.
