Interior

• Kitchen Remodeling
  Making use of many modern and green materials, the kitchen of this ranch-style home displays many clever design elements. Careful attention was given to traffic flow since the kitchen serves as a link between casual family livng and more formal entertaining areas. Additionally, with multiple members of the family in the kitchen at one time, work areas were scrutinized heavily. 'Green' materials include the cork floors for a cushioned footing and Caesarstone countertops. The appliances are also the latest in energy efficiency.
• Bathroom Remodeling
  Kitchen and bath renovations are the best returns on investment you can make, followed very closely by family room and deck additions that increase the 'feeling of space'. Master suites, attic bedroom creations, and siding replacements are also projects that return excellent value. (
• Flooring
  A closer look into the dining room shows the refurbished full length casement windows and french door to the back patio. The new flooring is an engineered, pre-finished, nail-down wood laminate.
• Door Installation/Replacement
• Drywalls
  The most noise and mess occur during the demolition, framing, roofing, and drywall phases. Plumbing and electrical phases, may require brief interruptions of water or power during the working day. Painting, tile and concrete areas need time to dry traffic-free. These are all momentary impositions, but needful for the successful completion of your project. It is our aim to keep you informed each step of the way.
• Framing
  The actual building costs (materials and labor to actually construct your project) are outlined on the final project cost estimate and on the Building Contract, which includes a proposed time frame for completing your project. The contract also delineates a payment schedule linked with a timeframe (bi-weekly payments) or by stages of job completion (such as completion of the foundation or framing portions).
• Tile Installation
• Fireplaces
  Here's the new living room complete with fireplace insert, tile hearth and mantle. Built-in book cases house the library.
• Skylight Repair/Replacement
  "People are looking at exposures and windows," says Phipps, "energy efficiency is very important. Well-placed skylights are also a good touch to add value."

Landscaping and Fencing

• Landscaping
  On rare occasions, we dabble in landscaping. Here we have a wonderful transformation of a front yard which previously consisted of a 'lawn-in-trouble' and a narrow sidewalk access to the backyard. Look just below for the 'Before' pictures.
• Driveways

Exterior

• Window Installation/Replacement
  An allowance is a method that contractors use to estimate the dollar amount that will be spent on a certain item or items that have not yet been selected by the customer. Allowances are commonly used for flooring, appliances, lighting and plumbing fixtures, windows and doors, etc.
• Siding
  The product selection process is the opportunity to put your signature onto the project. It ceases to be just walls, doors and a roof, but brings the full picture of your dream into focus. It is both exciting and difficult, since there are many, many things that will need your final choice. Things such as doors and knobs, windows, paint colors, trim styles, faucets, siding styles, and sheetrock texture to name just a few. Because of this, we have a few suggestions to make this process smoother.
• Residential Roof Repair
  Certainly, the sooner you can select the various products and finishes to be used in your project, the better. In fact, most of your selections will be made during the design process itself-such as siding types, window styles, exterior paint colors, and roofing colors. Many items, even though not installed until later in the project, need to be selected early in the planning or construction so that the proper framework and measurements are prepared. For instance, floor heights vary depending upon whether they will be covered with vinyl, tile or carpet. Consequently, the floor covering needs to be determined before the floor joists are installed. A single handle faucet is plumbed differently than a two-handle faucet, so it's no small guess that the faucets need to be selected before the plumbing in the walls is finished.
