A retired couple considers Olney kitchen design & remodeling companies. Larry Wise the home owner had this to say about Signature Kitchens Additions & Baths, its kitchen designer, process, project coordinator & crew.
"After evaluating the highest rated companies for kitchen design & remodeling, we decided to go with Signature Kitchens, Additions and Baths. We went to their Rockville kitchen design showroom and spoke to one of their kitchen designers, who spent an hour or more reviewing some initial choices with us and discussing Signature kitchen design process. The kitchen designer then came to our home to take measurements & got into more detail on what we wanted. After visiting our home in Olney, she came up with a kitchen design we really liked. Our project included gutting our kitchen, tearing a half-wall out between the kitchen and family room and repairing a floor area in the family room. Our kitchen design included Medallion custom kitchen cabinets and quartz counter tops. Alyssa recommended cork flooring for both the kitchen and family room, since with no wall between them, the two spaces had become one large room."

Carriage house over garage renovation and addition. Newly retired homeowners elected to rent out their adjacent single family home and live in this small carriage house. They wanted a functional, organized and absolutely beautiful space. To accomplish that, they decided to renovate the existing utilitarian space and add a large outdoor deck.

New master bath has an open feel for a small space. Beautiful mosaic tile inlay and flooring in the shower give at an artists touch. Stackable Washer / Dryer. Frameless 3/8" shower door and glass have the look of quality! Linen tower provides just the right amount of storage.

This Bonita Bay home, located in a 2,400-acre gated community with 1,400 acres of parks, nature preserves, lakes and open spaces, is an ideal location for this retired couple. They loved everything about their home—the neighborhood, yard, and the distance to shopping areas. But, one vital amenity was lacking—a spacious family room. The clients needed a new space to read and showcase their treasured artwork. Building a first-floor addition was the perfect solution to upgrading their living conditions. As the project evolved, they also added a built-in book case/entertainment wall.
With minimal disruption to existing space and to the family, who lived in the home throughout the remodeling project, Progressive Builders was able to dig up a small section of the front yard, in the area where the addition would sit. We then installed a new foundation and constructed the walls and roof of the addition before opening up the existing exterior wall and linking the new and old spaces.
An important part of the design process was making sure that the addition blended stylistically with the original structure of the home. Progressive Builders carefully matched the existing stucco finish on the exterior of the home and the natural stone floors that existed inside the home. Distinctive trim work was added to the new addition, giving the new space a fresh, updated look.
In the end, the remodel seamlessly blended with the original structure, and the client now spends more time in their new family room addition than any other room in their home.

A handy, empty-nester couple, nearing retirement, sold their mansion, and purchased a fixer-upper on a sunlit hillside that features the spectacular ocean view of the Channel Islands. ENRarchitects was hired to assist with making minor enhancements to the plan, integrating the lower level parking court, and adding a patio deck. The owner, a retiring engineer, took on the responsibilities of general contracting during construction.
Our collaboration included opening the kitchen to the Living-Dining space, so all can enjoy the ocean view. A balcony was added to second floor Master Study, with a new laundry room below it. Both bathrooms were modestly enlarged to provide more spacious showers. Lastly, the Entry Foyer was opened to ceiling height into the Living Room.
In California, ocean views inherently include relentless west sunshine, and formidable interior heat gain. Multiple design studies explored various means to incorporate shading and solar screening measures to permit the view, and to reduce heat gain. Additional studies featured more substantial proposed additions, including a lower level guest suite, and a detached office.
A key feature, is the addition of a raised, covered entry porch, where passengers and goods can be offloaded, prior to parking on the lower level. The new porch also provides a secondary transition around the structure to the ocean view, split-level patio.
A 2nd phase included the suggestion of rebuilding the lower covered parking to include a roof deck, rooftop guest suite, and solar electricity, which was successfully completed. The property is now mildly reminiscent of the Sea Ranch community.
With the blessing of year-round comfortable weather, and ever-changing, dynamic views, the successfully remodeled home takes full advantage for a new generation of colorful living. (photo by owner)

We are extremely happy and will always tout your skills."

Susan and Doug loved their two-story home set on a lovely large and secluded wooded lot in a quiet and centrally located neighborhood in Apex, NC.
They decided that they would retire in the home, but were aware of their need to transition to a first-floor fully accessible living environment as they aged so that they could remain in their home as long as possible. Our solution was to design and build a first-floor Master Bedroom suite that flows seamlessly into the other living areas on their first floor, and also serves to bring more of the “outdoors in”, allowing them to enjoy more of their lovely large wooded back yard and gardens.
The Aging in Place and Special Needs Accessible Master Bedroom Suite Addition transformed their two-story home into a fully accessible and functional 1st Floor retirement home, with guest suites on the 2nd Floor!
The Master Suite Addition features a large master bedroom with generous windows that looks out on the lovely wooded back yard and creates a light and bright interior. The large master bathroom features an amazing tiled barrier-free shower, large closet, free-standing tub, and fully wheelchair accessible water closet.
Beautiful natural finish hardwood floors flow into the fully wheelchair accessible and barrio-free kitchen, dining room, and family room. The large wrap-around deck extends the living space into the large private back yard, and ties the master bedroom in with the screened porch.
Special Features:
Fully Aging in Place and Special Needs Accessible 1st Floor Home.
Generous windows to bring in natural light and the lovely private and wooded back yard.
Energy efficient advanced building science techniques.
Amazing tiled barrier-free shower and master bath.
