UPDATED, BUT STILL HISTORIC LOOK: This old Victorian fireplace was beautiful in its prime, but 100+ years of wear and tear has left the historic tile cracked and loose. One of the previous owners even painted the surround white to update the look, but I wanted to take it a little further. Homeowners were originally… Continue Reading
TOTAL GUT! We addressed every aspect of this outdated kitchen. The first step was to remove all existing cabinetry to create a clean slate. All new high-quality Medallion cabinets were installed, featuring bead-board style solid maple doors in a hazelnut finish. I installed solid brushed nickel hardware to accent the look – nice! The counter… Continue Reading
At some point, you have to replace those old steel-framed, single pane, drafty basement windows with something a little more energy efficient. Every fall season, this homeowner dreaded going to the basement to place foam board insulation over the old windows, only to have to remove it each spring to allow light and a cross… Continue Reading
KITCHEN REFRESHER! We spent just a couple days adding some accents to this kitchen, as well as installing a new stainless Frigidaire range and hood with LED lights! The changes are sharp and effective in updating the room! The mosaic backsplash (1″ x 1″ glass) is applied directly over the plaster wall after a good… Continue Reading
NICE UPDATE! We completely gutted this bathroom, including an old cast iron tub and a restrictive plaster arch over the alcove. Installation items included a new acrylic shower base with ceramic tile/mosaic walls and two custom inset niche shelves. High quality sliding frameless bypass doors are Sterling Finesse – mist glass with nickel trim. Vanity… Continue Reading
SAME STRUCTURE; NEW LOOK – Old treated deck boards were removed and existing joists reinforced (where necessary). Ultradeck Fusion Composite Deck Boards (Walnut) were installed using hidden t-clip fasteners. The new skirting is comprised of horizontal deck boards as a perimeter border, and followed up with vertical deck boards as a nice, solid critter barrier. … Continue Reading
SOME MAJOR BATHROOM REHAB! From what I understand, this bathroom was last remodeled in the 1950s, which means the update was well overdue! All major areas were addressed, including a new one-piece fiberglass 41″ shower unit (I pulled out the cabinets above the shower alcove to open up the space a bit), new 19″ vanity… Continue Reading
TOTAL RENOVATION! This bathroom was in dire need of some TLC. We ripped everything out (all drywall on the ceiling and walls and even the subfloor) so we could start from scratch and do it right! I must say, the end result is fantastic! New tile floor and wainscot, as well as a nice tiled… Continue Reading
GOOD FOR ANOTHER 40 YEARS! This aging storage shed had seen better days, but no structure is too far gone for me! Upgrades include new TimberCrest premium vinyl siding (Dutch lap – khaki), Pro Rib steel roof (charcoal), lifetime aluminum soffit and fascia trim (khaki), and vinyl-trimmed entry doors with stainless hardware. This old shed… Continue Reading
BEST ROOF IN THE BUSINESS! Once again, I’ve got another happy customer who has received the best roof in the business. I always use synthetic felt, ice guard on all eaves, and super-sealed triple layered valleys (ice guard, aluminum flashing, and shingle overlap). In this case, I used ice guard over the entire roof due… Continue Reading
