FEATURED PROJECT


We have named this remodel the "Modern Farmhouse" because of the rustic, modern and open feel.  Now perfect for entertaining family and friends, this gorgeous remodel breaths new life into this older home, built in the 1960s. This family decided to renovate the kitchen, bathrooms, replace the siding, redo their deck and put a fresh coat of paint on everything.  The change is astonishing! Take a look at these amazing before and after photos!

COMPANY NEWS: 

We are consciously navigating these challenging times brought to us by the COVID-19.  There is a statewide exemption for construction to allow us the continue to work.  We are following the highest safety measures set by OSHA and the CDC to keep our associates, clients, and vendors healthy – while maintaining operations as usual and providing you with the highest level of satisfaction.

Looking forward, we do expect is a short-term shortage of building materials from vendors.  According to a recent article from the National Association of Home Builders, China is the largest importer of building materials.  China accounts for 31% of the total imports of building materials. 

That being said, we are working diligently to secure the necessary materials in advance to try and mitigate any setbacks we might face due to these shortages.  By making selections as early as possible, we are able to avoid delays by allowing extra time for delivery.  In addition, we are working as far ahead as possible on the administration side to avoid delays due to closures or changes in normal business services.
