The homeowners worked closely with our consultants to create a scope of work and budget for a complete home remodel encompassing both floors. Areas remodeled included bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, the kitchen, and exterior work. There were clear allowances within the contract so our customers knew exactly the range of budget that was included and could be worked within.
Vision
The homeowners wanted to update their entire home to modernize their entire living experience. They wanted to keep the basic structure and location of their home, but modernize all living spaces, including exterior areas such as the screened porch/deck and the garage. This created a brand-new living experience while allowing the homeowners to stay at their same address.
Scope
Significant demolition had to occur on both floors and to parts of the exterior. Most of the existing kitchen was demolished, along with parts of the study, living room, and family room. The powder room and foyer also had to be partially demolished, finishing off the demolition of the first floor. On the second floor, the hallway, linen closet, and laundry room were partially demolished. All of the bathrooms and bedrooms were partially demolished to finish off the second story demolition. On the exterior, the screened deck/porch was removed, and the current garage was demolished as well.
Framing was installed in areas where needed, and water and plumbing lines were run in the kitchen, laundry room, and bathrooms. Necessary electrical outlets were added, and drywall, doors, and windows were installed. Cabinets and countertops were installed in the kitchen and bathrooms, and new flooring replaced all of the existing flooring that was removed. Interior trim was added in all remodeled areas, and then paint was added to finish off the interior remodeling.
On the exterior, a new deck was built in place of the existing one, and electrical lines were run for a ceiling fan and light. Two new garage doors were installed, and an exterior door from the garage to the inside of the home.
