They shared a Thanksgiving message and photo expressing how much they enjoy gathering in the new space.
We removed two load-bearing walls, dropped in LVL beams, and carried the new structural loads down into the basement so the main floor could breathe without losing the sense of distinct rooms. From there, we relocated exterior windows and doors, refreshed the staircase with new balusters and railing, and added a second HVAC system to keep the upper level comfortable year-round.
A new island, quartz countertops, smarter cabinetry, and improved lighting turned the kitchen into the natural meeting spot for the family and their guests.
The existing fireplace was brought back to life with an updated surround, a new hearth, and built-in cabinetry and shelving, giving the family room a true centerpiece.
The former sunroom was reframed, insulated, ducted, and finished with a closet and exterior door, finally giving overnight guests a real room to stay in.
The old half bath was relocated and expanded into a full bath with a double vanity, walk-in shower, and decorative shiplap.
A defined dining space connected to the kitchen and family room without losing its own identity.
The relocated garage entry now opens into a proper drop zone with storage and a water line ready for a second refrigerator.
New balusters and a new railing system gave the original stairs a fresh, modern look.
A gas line was run during construction so the wood-burning fireplace can be converted to gas down the road.
A second HVAC system and new ductwork were added to keep the new spaces, including the converted bedroom, comfortable in every season.
New posts were installed in the basement to carry the loads from the main floor, with related basement repairs handled in stride.
A full siding replacement was completed as a separate scope of work alongside the interior transformation.
The main floor that once kept this family apart now pulls them together. They host their kids, their parents, and their friends in spaces that finally connect. They loved the new layout so much that they refurnished the entire floor to match the way they use it now.
Let’s reconfigure your space into a home that fits the next chapter.
