Kitchen Remodel – cabinet modifications and re-face

kitchen_remodel_cabinet_refaceThis kitchen was originally designed for a smaller refrigerator and the cabinets were installed 4 inches down off the ceiling.  The kitchen remodel included reinstalling all the top cabinets  flush with the ceiling.  New smaller width cabinets were installed to the left of the refrigerator opening.  All the cabinets were re-faced and a matching crown molding was added.

This colonial started out as cape with two small slanted wall bedrooms and a bath.  A second floor addition transformed the second level to include 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.  A rear bump out addition created a spacious family room with a cathedral ceiling.  The project also included a heating system and electrical upgrade.

Home Modifications

Whole House Remodel

Whole House Remodel

Our recent work includes a whole house remodel where we demoed the house to the framing and re-configured  rooms, making them larger and a more open configuration.  A new kitchen and two new baths were added.  All the mechanical systems were replaced.  The heating system was converted to gas and central air conditioning added.  Hardwood floors were added.  Some of the existing woodwork was preserved, repaired and painted and much of the original architectural character maintained while using siding and composite materials to eliminate the need for maintenance.
