Before & After

This 30-year-old builder-grade space needed a comprehensive bathroom renovation to improve its aesthetics, functionality, and address minor leaks and damage accumulated over time. The linoleum flooring was damaged and outdated, the toilet had visible scrapes, and the bathtub was creaky and leaky. Simple one-piece surrounds are no longer the most attractive way to enhance home value.

The client wanted to transform the bathroom into a classic, spa-like retreat with a nature-inspired design. They wanted a spacious walk-in shower with enough space for a a shower bench when needed. Classic marble was chosen for the shower walls, shower niche, and vanity countertop, creating a cohesive and elegant look. The shower was meticulously designed and expanded to be ADA compliant. High-end shower faucets were installed, offering various water functions, including a luxurious ceiling-mounted rain shower head. The marble shower niche, adorned with a floral motif and framed in marble, serves as a functional art piece. This bathroom remodel shows how a space can be both ADA compliant and visually stunning, with spa-like elements achieved through the use of marble, premium shower fixtures and thoughtful details in the bathroom design.

The kitchen, over 40 years old, had outdated features like ceramic tile countertops and cabinets that had been repeatedly repainted and repaired. The layout lacked functional flow, and the appliances were in need of modernization. To achieve a comprehensive kitchen remodeling, a complete demolition of the existing space was necessary.

The homeowners envisioned a modern kitchen with sleek cabinetry and optimized layout for enhanced workflow. They prioritized energy-efficient appliances and ample storage solutions to cater to their culinary preferences. Inspired by a fresh design, they were eager to transform their outdated kitchen into a welcoming space for family gatherings and entertaining guests. We designed the kitchen layout to feature leathered, natural stone countertops, space-saving cabinets with extra storage, rolling racks, and appliances built-in. The new island improved workflow, while the timeless herringbone floor pattern retained a touch of charm. Finally, we added a Venetian plaster wall behind the island, completing the transformation.

The bathroom under examination has undergone extensive dismantling as part of a comprehensive mold mitigation process. The demolition phase had been executed, revealing exposed structural elements that were previously concealed behind drywall and fixtures. This meticulous deconstruction is crucial for identifying and eliminating mold colonies residing within walls, under tiles, or in other hidden recesses. By removing affected materials such as gypsum board or deteriorated wood, specialists can apply fungicidal treatments directly to the impacted areas to prevent further mold proliferation. Additionally, this approach facilitates a thorough assessment of any underlying water damage that may have contributed to the mold growth initially. The safe disposal of contaminated materials and diligent air quality monitoring are imperative to ensure that remaining spores do not compromise indoor air quality post-remediation. Such detail-oriented procedures underscore a commitment our bathroom remodelers have to restoring the space to its healthy, pre-contamination state effectively.

The client wanted a contentemporary spanish bathroom with spa like amenitites.  To create a spa like feel heated floors were added,  with large soaking tub and  a large curbless walk in shower.   Various types of ambient lighting were used layering the lighting with vanity mirrors for task lighting, ambient lighting LED bathroom mirrors and an accent chandelier above the soaking tub.  The thoughtful bathroom design used maxamized their space, creating a new and beautiful bathroom renovation!

The kitchen featured a butcher block countertop that exhibited dense striations and stains. The three-dimensional ledger tile backsplash proved challenging to clean and had accumulated grease over the years. The two-tone cabinetry, with light upper and dark lower cabinets, did not harmonize with the overall aesthetic of the house. While the kitchen was functional, it did not align with the preferences of the new homeowners.

The new homeowners envisioned a cohesive and modern kitchen design that would perfectly reflect their personal style. They made a bold decision to replace the backsplash with easy-to-clean Spanish tiles with a pop of color, creating a seamless wall and visually appealing look. To complement the new backsplash, they chose a uniform cabinetry color that harmoniously blended with the rest of the home, enhancing the overall aesthetic. Resurfacing the cabinets was all that was needed to bring them up to an elevated look. The butcher block countertop was replaced with a light quartz countertop with some gold vaining. These updates transformed the kitchen into a welcoming space that not only met their functional needs but also became a true centerpiece for family gatherings and entertaining guests.

The outdated tile surround of the 1,500-pound cast-iron bathtub was deteriorating and causing significant leaks. The water damage had begun to affect the subfloor and framing around the bathtub area, necessitating an urgent intervention. This emergency project required both mold mitigation and a comprehensive bathroom remodel to ensure a waterproof and functional space.

After considering various design styles and options, we opted for natural marble over porcelain or ceramic to enhance the home’s value at a comparable cost. The design included a wall-to-wall, elongated niche, and the area behind the bathtub was transformed into a simple bench rather than a full built-in surround. To replace the satin gold fixtures, we selected a modern copper finish, offering a unique design that complemented the tile and the Taj Mahal quartzite countertop.

The outdated kitchen, featuring granite tile countertops, desperately needed an upgrade to improve both functionality and aesthetics. Once popular for their durability and natural appeal, these tiles had become outdated due to their limited color variation and the hassle of upkeep. Today’s kitchen renovation trends favor seamless surfaces that combine elegance and ease of maintenance, leading homeowners to opt for materials like quartz or solid stone slabs. By addressing the outdated aspects of the space, our kitchen remodelers aimed to rejuvenate the space and potentially increase its market value by aligning it with contemporary design standards. 

The outdated kitchen underwent a transformation with a light quartz countertop featuring modern edge profiles. A matt white herringbone backsplash was installed to seamlessly blend the contemporary and traditional elements of the home. While the cabinets were retained to reduce costs and preserve some traditional elements. The result of this kitchen remodeling project was a kitchen that perfectly reflects the current era, elevating the home’s overall standard.
