New Home from old cottage

Additions allow updating, upgrading and complete change to a structure, the look and it’s function.  When done properly the project adds convenience and value, reduces maintenance and operational expense.

Eco Houses

From starter cottage style in a great location, to a beautiful new home, inside and out.  And a Golden Hammer winner in 2008.

Kitchen and main re-do

 

The Kitchen is the center of this home.

This 1970’s side split had been reworked before, but needed a modernized open floor plan for entertaining and convenience.

Kitchens…

Before and after kitchen transformations – we’ve done many.  Watch for more.

Grown-up House Mates

At only 4 years old this house needed nothing, except to accommodate a new adult house mate in her own space.  So the walk out rear level became the new entry to a self contained but connected apartment.  Comfortable kitchen added to the basement level and sound insulation installed in the division between the two spaces ensures privacy for all.

Hilltop Cottage

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.

Kitchen for a cook

The Kitchen has to work hard.  The chief cook loves to can, bake and just be in the space…and so does the rest of the family.

This 1970’s raised ranch had been redecorated mid 80’s, but needed a modernized open floor plan for entertaining and convenience.

Every inch of the interior

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.

Coppenhagen House

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.
