additions & renovations
“I must say that you have really nice guys working for you. You are quite the team — everyone cares!”
– Carol E.
In every addition we build, and home we renovate, we are the customer’s advocate.
What you can expect from us renovating your home:
Expect everything you need.
We can tell you in the first conceptual walk through what is feasible and practical. We can do preliminary designs and budgets to arm you with knowledge for your decision making. Then we can design it to meet your needs and budget.
Expert guidance through the entire process.
We have been doing this for decades and know what to expect in one of the most challenging branches of construction. We are old house experts. You will receive enough education to understand what you and your house will go through during the transformation. This information will help you survive if not enjoy the construction process.
The best possible structural, mechanical, and building envelope detailing for your house from a builder uniquely qualified to detail it and deliver it.
“The basement looks amazing. We’ve already had a family & friends poker tournament and my son had a sleep over. The space is great and will be tons of fun in the future. Thanks to you and all your men for not only a great new living space but also for their courtesy, timeliness and respect they showed to me and my family.”
– Rita A.
Flexibility in design and selections.
We will offer suggestions on practical layouts, as well as the products we feel best match the style of the house, provide the best value, and meet your needs. We use the internet heavily for real time viewing of products and specifications. You will have control of your final selections. If you enjoy the shopping we can point you in the right direction. If time is an issue in your daily schedule we will have all samples brought to you for approval. You will find our vender partners extremely knowledgeable, and helpful. We all want you to enjoy this process.
Talented trade contractors, well coordinated and functioning as a team.
Our renovation partners in the trades have been selected because of their ability to perform their skill efficiently while adapting to new challenges in every unique older home. We are problem solvers. We have trade specialists who know how to work on old houses and respect the needs of the people who will be living through the work. We coordinate, oversee and support this workforce. We are constantly affirming that our client’s best interest is at the forefront.
Every effort put forth to protect your family, your belongings, and your house.
This is the biggest challenge and where many remodelers fail. Construction sites can be both dangerous and messy. One can actually lead to the other. We believe in safety first and we take every practical step available to us to minimize the dust and disruption to your home while we renovate it. From our team you will see a level of genuine concern for you and your property that may surprise you.
We will strive to minimize the intrusion and inconvenience while providing the best value. That balance defines the success of most renovations.
