Bathroom renovation
Back to the studs.
This bathroom started with leveling the floor, squaring the walls and updating the plumbing and electrical. The homeowner helped shape the design you see here.

From farmhouse
to home gym.
This one involved demolition, structural changes, framing and insulation before the finishes went in. We coordinated with our trade partners, then finished the space with custom pine walls, a black steel ceiling and gym flooring.

What we do
Construction &
renovation services.
Some projects start with an empty space. Others start by taking an old one apart. Our work covers both.
New construction
Starting from the ground up? We take on new builds and coordinate the site work, framing and trades that bring them together.
Custom homes
Whether you've got house plans in hand or are just getting started, let's talk about the home you want to build.
Kitchen & bathroom renovations
New layouts, cabinetry, islands and countertops, or a bathroom rebuilt from the studs. We handle the renovation and coordinate the trades involved.
Home additions & garages
More room at home, a garage, or an existing space put to a different use. We'll talk through what you're planning and what the work involves.
Framing & home renovation
Structural changes, framing and renovations that go beyond the surface. Our projects include opening up rooms and rebuilding the spaces around them.
