Amy found COGS on Houzz, and we created the space that she had been dreaming of for 16 years. Start by removing everything including bulkheads, useless partition walls and dated floors. The kitchen design process went well, and when we shopped for selections, Amy made decisive and elegant choices. CountryBoy Construction got the job done on schedule while adding insulation and electrical upgrades. The results are outstanding :-)

A top to bottom renovation of a 1939 bungalow in Bethesda, MD totally transformed a dark and dated house into an open, bright and welcoming home. The old basement was a warren of oddly placed and shaped rooms with low bulkheads throughout that resulted in awkward, claustrophobic spaces. We completely gutted and reimagined the layout, relocating the laundry room (formerly just a closet off the family room), expanding the bathroom, removing a stair wall, replacing windows and resizing/raising the ductwork to make the space feel open and inviting. Removing the old laundry closet created the perfect spot for an art nook, a great place for budding artists to create and display their art projects. The custom under-stair storage cubbies can be used to stow away kids’ toys, extra linens, and other odds and ends. Replacing the solid stair wall with an open wood slat wall provides sightlines while the natural wood gives a nod to the light oak floors above.

A unique family home that incorporates contemporary and daring features. The layout of this house was designed with a focus on entertainment while making the most of the space of the plot. This 4-bedroom family home features large areas that blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Modern bulkhead ceilings brighten up the open plan area while the matte black painted doors create a moody atmosphere upon entering the different rooms. The combination of elegant, timeless finishes combined with moody hues resulted in yet another stylish home added to our proud portfolio
