    Tile, sinks and faucets - a kitchen and bath renovation can be so overwhelming! Today I’m joined by Emily and Dawn of Torrco Design Center, who reveal how having the right team behind you can take the overwhelm out of the process. They also provide some great tips and best practices for accomplishing the next renovation project you tackle in your home, along with the pitfalls to watch for, and so much more.  Emily Becker Fasano is a Senior Sales & Design Associate and part owner of Torrco, a family-owned plumbing, heating, and HVAC supply wholesaler with a rich history spanning over 107 years based in Waterbury, Connecticut.

Dawn’s experience with clients over the years, and managing showrooms, helps her to lead the Torrco Design Center team in creating an exceptional client experience. Although Dawn’s focus is now on the business side of the showroom, she fulfills her passion for design by working closely with Torrco’s vendors, building relationships with the Builder, Architect, Designer community and designing the Torrco showrooms to stay on trend and inspirational. If you’re in Connecticut and have a Torrco Design Center in your local area, I encourage you to visit their showroom to learn more about all the products and services they provide for homeowners.
