In the Studio, you can see a portion of the vacuum ducting using spiral ducting material. The duct route begins at the workbench, travels through the wall and into the soffit, and is then exposed on its path to the floor at the opposite side of the shop. All dust and debris is vacuumed into a container in the lower level, where the ducting terminates.

Gracious terraces and formal interiors characterize this stately home.

For this Barrington Home Remodel, the customer wanted to remove the wall that divided the dining room and living room. After inspecting the Blueprint it was determined not to be load-bearing. After the removal, it left voids in the 16-foot wood ceiling and hardwood floor. All electrical supplied to the wall was re-routed, removed, and terminated. The existing HVAC return vents were re-routed and ran to the adjacent wall. Brand new Red Oak wood flooring and Knotted Pinewood ceiling planks were installed, sanded, and stained to match. The end result turned out to be a 40 foot by 30 foot beautiful Great Room in Barrington, Illinois

Free-standing direct-vent gas stove installation in a charming Seattle home. The homeowners wanted the warmth and ambiance of a wood stove without the maintenance, smoke, ash, or hassle of cordwood. We installed a high-efficiency direct-vent gas stove in the corner of their open-concept living room, with a code-compliant single-wall vent pipe routed straight up through the ceiling. The clean black exterior and authentic flame complement the home's mid-century modern aesthetic — leather sofa, light wood floors, natural light, and lush greenery — without overpowering the space. Scope of work: - Site assessment and gas line evaluation - Hearth pad installation and floor protection - Free-standing direct-vent gas stove installation - Single-wall vent pipe through ceiling and roof - Code-compliant clearances and termination - Gas line connection and leak testing - Final commissioning and homeowner walkthrough Installation completed in a single day. Family-owned. Licensed and bonded in Washington State.

This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option! Photo credit: Jeff Murrey
