The Story

The Vision Behind This Project

The Challenge

This comprehensive residential renovation project in Alexandria, VA featured a first-floor addition and complete second-floor master bathroom transformation. The first-floor addition included a new concrete porch with composite railings and French doors, creating an inviting entry point.

The Approach

Inside, a functional mudroom was constructed with custom built-in cubbies, closet storage, and barn door entry, complemented by hardwood flooring throughout the addition. The exterior siding was upgraded across the entire existing house, including new house wrap, vinyl siding, porch ceiling, vented soffits, wrapped fascia and rakes, and new gutters and downspouts.

The Result

The second-floor renovation reimagined the master bathroom layout with complete demolition and reconstruction. A new hallway was framed at the top of the stairs to improve circulation and privacy. The master bathroom received a luxurious upgrade with a custom double vanity, new tile flooring and shower walls with niche, frameless glass enclosure, and modern fixtures throughout. Adjacent improvements included updates to the boys' bathroom with a new tub installation and the addition of a hallway closet. All electrical and plumbing systems were relocated and upgraded to accommodate the new layouts, with custom lighting design and proper ventilation installed throughout both floors.
