What we build
Four kinds of work, all run by our own crew. If your project mixes them, a kitchen with a small bump-out for example, we price and schedule it as one job.
Kitchens
Layout changes, new cabinetry, counters, lighting and the plumbing and electrical behind them.
- Wall removal and new beams
- Custom or semi-custom cabinets
- Stone, tile and wood floors
Typical
8 to 12 weeks on site
Bathrooms
Primary suites, hall baths and powder rooms, taken down to the studs and waterproofed properly.
- Curbless and walk-in showers
- Tub-to-shower conversions
- Heated floors and ventilation
Typical
4 to 6 weeks on site
Additions
Rear and side additions, second stories and bump-outs, framed and finished to match the house.
- Foundations and framing
- Roof tie-ins and siding match
- Permit drawings coordinated
Typical
4 to 7 months on site
Whole-home renovations
Several rooms or the whole house at once, phased so the work runs in a sensible order.
- Floor plan changes
- Systems upgrades: wiring, HVAC, plumbing
- Older-home repairs and trim
Typical
Phased, scheduled with you
We also take on basements, porches and mudrooms, and the structural repairs that turn up during other work.
Before and after, drawn to scale
Three typical projects, drawn the way we draw your house before we price it. Drag across each one to see the existing room become the finished one.
