On this project, we were asked to build a cabinet that would cover the sump pump/pipes, be removable if work needs to be done on the pumps but have a way to quickly check the pumps without removing the entire unit. What we came up with was a cabinet complete with shelves and a hinged door that opens to reveal sump pit. The cabinet was built using G2S nine ply Baltic Birch and primed with Benjamin Moore Fresh Start topped with two coats of Benjamin Moore Advance. Clean and simple!
Nice to have a place where the kids can go and play. On this project, we first added ten pot lights to the room, followed by building a bulkhead to hide all the pipes and frame the windows. We then insulated the ceiling with Roxul Safe and Sound for noise reduction! Following this we drywalled and taped, primed and painted the project complete including stair rails. To keep the finished floor warm and dry we laid Dri-core throughout entire project area, finishing it off with a beautiful cork floor.(soft on the knees!!) We also finished the stairs by installing cork on both the treads and risers complete with vinyl nosings. The sharpest looking playroom on the block!!
Installing a kitchenette can dramatically increase the functionality of a room. Here we installed a three drawer cabinet with a 36″ wide sink base, a Rheem mini hot water heater and simple shelving above.
Modernizing this basement was the nature of this project. We started by removing the two fans and installing ten pot lights. We drywalled the holes in wall from bookshelf and TV, fixed a hole in the stippled ceiling and installed crown moulding. The room was then painted with two coats of Benjamin Moore Aura. We also changed the balusters to a square profile and painted them with three coats of Benjamin Moore Advance. Ready to kick back!
Here we were asked to redo a laundry area/entrance way. Sorry, no before pictures. The project included the following; heated floor using the new Ditra Heat by Schluter Systems, ensuring even spacing between wires. Porcelain tile on floor complete with tile baseboard and brushed nickel tile edge. Custom cabinetry to house new washer/dryer, along with cubby holes and hooks for jackets and drawers for shoes. The project was lit up with 4 new LED lights.
On this project, we were asked to renovate a number of suites, all with the same finishes. We started by stripping the existing carpet and lights. We then patched all the walls, and sprayed the kitchen cabinets. The entire suite was was hit with paint, ceilings, walls and trim/doors. We then laid 100% vinyl waterproof laminate flooring throughout entire suite except bathroom. Finally, new lights, counter/sink, door handles, plugs/switches, baseboard heaters, blinds were all installed to complete the picture. These units have gone from being ordinary to some of the nicest to rent in town!
Here we were asked to bring this basement up to speed with a facelift. We started by gutting the walls, removing the cedar and old door. We then drywalled the walls and ductwork, priming and painting them two coats with Benjamin Moore Aura. Next came the drop ceiling complete with LED fixtures, followed by doors and trim. To complete the picture, the floor was painted with two coats of Benjamin Moore Floor paint. Clean and neat. Beautiful drywall job to cover up ductwork!
Sorry, no before pictures on this one. Walked into this project, plumbing was roughed in and tub sitting there. Walked out 5 days later with bathroom complete. Bathroom has simple fixtures but is clean and highly functional.
No before pictures on this one folks! You will have to take my word for it, conventional tub in the same space, changed to walk in tub. Out with the old, in with the new. The modern walk in tub allows those whose mobility isn’t what it used to be enjoy a warm luxurious bath knowing they will easily be able to get up out of the tub. Much easier to relax if you know you are safe.
When getting up and down in a bathtub becomes difficult, the answer may be a walk-in bathtub. Here we were asked to change out the old tub for a walk in. After removing the old tub and surround, we reconfigured plumbing and installed the new tub. We then drywalled the surround, primed it, and tiled it and the soap niche. Finally, we grouted and siliconed all edges.
