Customer initially wanted just a storage shed, then opted to buy all the options to make it essentially a small house. It was framed from treated timber, insulated, drywalled, and fully finished. It has an outlet and an a ceiling fan receptacle. It was painted, trimmed, and shingled to match the main house.
1. Flat ceiling was removed and vaulted with stained tongue-n-groove wood planks. 2. Deck was extended and stairs on grade installed. 3. Screened in porch was reframed and full-size windows installed. 4. Stairs leading up to storage above garage was renovated and brought up to code. 5. Concrete board base installed under the tile, river tile installed. 6. Siding uninstalled in the room and replaced with drywall. 7. A/C unit removed and finished. 8. Custom lattice work installed.
Customer had a water leak in one of their vacant properties. It was not noticed for a couple weeks and flooded the house. The cabinets were ruined and the vast majority of the flooring, drywall, and bottom trim. We were hired to use the old cabinet facings to reinstall the lower cabinets in the kitchen (so they would match). This included new framing, plumbing, countertops, sink, and faucet. We reinstalled the oven and dishwasher.
Customer ordered a two-car shelter built on her rental property. We had to use LVL's since the customer did not want a support post in the middle of the entrance.
This deck needed new floor boards, a custom handrail, and the customer ordered framed lattice work. It was then stained.
The wife wanted a shelf to make use of dead space. I made this according to her demanding specs.
Customer wanted custom pipe shelving installed in the living room. They also requested a built-in furniture setup with shelving units on the ends. This required the floor registers to be rerouted into the new built-in furniture. Do not have decorated photos available.
Playsets like this with numbered wood pieces usually take 1-2 days to install.
A bad door installation led to a big repair bill. To complicate matters, a deck was attached to the rim joist.
I liked the drop zone project done for a customer so much that I decided to put one in my home. Here it is, with lots of input from the wife.
Removed carpeting, installed 2.25" unfinished red oak hardwoods, sanded, stained, applied polyurethane on-site. Installed shoe molding.
This garage had a "rough" finish. We applied the skim coat, sanded, primed, and added two coats of paint. We also added floor moldings made of decking wood. The floor had two coats of Shieldcrete, flakes, and a coat of anti-slip clear glaze.
We installed built-in furniture, wrapped windows with trim+shelves, chair rails, picture frame moldings, and custom columns. We then painted the whole house.
Customer installed Pergo scraped hickory 10 mm laminate in the entire house. Home Depot was supposed to install it, but insisted on transition pieces in all the doorways. Customer ended up paying less and getting seamless transitions using our service. Customer opted to install the baseboards themselves to save money.
A relatively new construction in Brier Creek suffered from a damaging water leak, brought upon by poor builder work. We had to remove engineered wood flooring, damaged drywall, and damaged trim. We then had to bring the room back to its original appearance. Many thanks to Sherwin Williams for matching an aged paint perfectly.
Deck was weathered with several boards cracked, railings coming apart, and trim boards falling off.
Customer wanted a doorway created in the garage with steps on both sides.
Customer wanted a custom, stain grade chair rail installed in the downstairs bathroom. The white trim was removed, and stain grade floor molding was installed also to match. The stain is Minwax Fruitwood with select Pine substrates.
Customer wanted to add a door to a short hallway to make another room downstairs. Converted their home from a three to a four bedroom with a simple move and less than 300 dollars. It required framing, sheetrock installation/finish, and door installation. The customer opted to sand and paint themselves to save money.
