Kitchen Remodeling
Your kitchen is the heart of your home.
More than a place to cook and eat, it's where you gather with family and friends, help with homework, work on projects and much more.
Today's best kitchens are designed to function for the way your family lives.
They have expansive countertops for prep and entertaining, layered lighting for ambiance and tasks, energy efficient appliances, open eating areas, lots of storage, drop zones and charging stations.
A kitchen remodel will renew your kitchen's look and function.

Basement Remodeling
Most basements are designed to give your family space: for entertaining, for getting fit, for guests to sleep and refresh, and for storage.
And many homeowners choose to take basements to the next level with wet bars and kitchenettes that are every bit as useful as a full kitchen.
When movie night rolls around you'll never need to head upstairs for pizza or popcorn!
See our basement portfolio.
Your lower level doesn't deserve lower quality.
Finishing or remodeling your basement is a significant investment and you need a company that will make sure your new basement is equal to (or better than!) the rest of your home.

Home Additions
Sometimes, you absolutely positively need more space.
Moving is expensive, and with so many great neighborhoods in our area, more and more people are choosing to add on to their existing homes.
We'll work with you to clearly understand your goals and we'll present multiple ways those goals can be met that make sense for your home.
Sometimes, homeowners are pleased to realize they can meet their goals through a remodel instead of an addition.
Other times, an addition is clearly necessary.
An addition is one of the most complex remodeling projects for anyone to undertake.

Whole Home Remodeling
Most of the time homeowners remodel a single room at a time and we make sure the finish blends well with the rest of the home.
But when budget allows, amazing results can be achieved when you remodel your whole home or an entire floor.
We occasionally hear homeowners say, "I can't remodel my kitchen/bath/etc because the rest of my home would just look worse."
Not a problem with a whole home/whole floor remodel!
When you're able to remodel an entire floor of your home at once, you're not limited by existing finishes or styles.

Our Process
Our initial discussion is typically a phone conversation during which we talk about your project, goals, ideas, timeline and budget objectives.
Often we are able to provide a general budget range for the project based upon our experience with similar projects.
Why do we need to know your timeline?
If you have a specific date when your project must be finished, for a graduation or holiday, for example, we need to know that up front so we can make sure it's possible to meet the deadline.
