From a simple 60’s bungalow to a modern open concept space.
Interior renovations improve a home substantially without adding to the square footage. The results can make a home feel much larger, more livable and increase value – when they are well designed and well built.
After the structural work was completed (helical piers) to keep this tired cottage on top of its hill the fun of remodeling began. Windows, doors, siding and both porches were updated and made secure, insulation added and the original wood panelling preserved inside. The floorplan was modified to allow for a 3 piece bath to be added to the main floor and the kitchen to be more open to the living space and fantastic view of the lake.

Kitchens, bathrooms and family living spaces..
This extensive project brought the cottage lifestyle out in this beautiful lakefront vacation home.
A very well built late ’60s brick ranch, was stuck there, needed a functional re-do as well as more modern conveniences.
Special request of the owners was a massive kitchen to accommodate extended family meals, and custom height cabinetry.
This collection of projects shows the variety of ideas our clients have requested over the years…
Country Farmhouse – Post and Beam Renovation
Originally built in 1870 this old gem had seen better times. All systems needed updating since the last minor reno in the 60’s. The whole structure was gutted from the inside allowing lifting, straightening and strengthening of the old timber frame. All the original trims and doors were removed, stripped and refinished, with new matching pieces added where needed to retain the old style. The kitchen cabinetry was built using ash lumber harvested and milled on site from the property – very authentic – with all the modern conveniences.
Restoring the original beauty and charm is the desired result and also requires special care.
Renovating older homes respectfully and appropriately is a specialty at Cedar Ridge.
This house had been vacant for years, last used by tenants working on the larger farm property. The motivation was to create a modern comfortable space, using the existing original timber structure combined with a gathering room addition replacing the old “back kitchen”.
Structurally and from an environmental perspective traditional wood construction benefits are substantial.
We are ready to assist with a hybrid addition or fully developed log and timber home.
An alternative is to add decorative timbers to accentuate an open or cathedral space or as a fresh new entry on your home. Bring us your ideas.
Another rural project, this family needed new space for another generation.
We renovated an existing unused storage space (had been a garage years ago), added space to accommodate a master and a den. All of it tied in very well.
Special features here include in floor radiant heat, high ceilings and tall windows.
