This photo shows our ProTEK team member commencing work on the window sill repair. This picture also is a good close up of the trim’s former gold color. You can also see the overspray lines in the shingle siding’s former gray color.

Cottage Construction Complete. Garage Addition to be commenced in Spring 2017. This large open-concept custom cottage overlooking the lake is what every getaway is looking for. Boasting high cathedral ceiling in the Great room with a gas fireplace, 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, Screened-In Porch, Large Gourmet Kitchen with Adjacent Dining Room and Office on 2nd Floor overlooking the lake. This place was everything the owner needed (and then some), but was lacking an attached Garage which was something they desired when looking to move to cottage country full time. Adding the Garage adjacent to the Kitchen and adding a transition room with a stairwell with access to the loft above the Garage, makes this addition function perfectly. The 3-Car Garage adds plenty of storage for the owner and adds a Gift Wrapping Area, Home Gym and Additional Storage Room.

Core Remodel was contacted by the new owners of this single family home in Logan Square after they hired another general contractor to remodel their kitchen. Unfortunately, the original GC didn't finish the job and the owners were waiting over 6 months for work to commence - and expecting a newborn baby, living with their parents temporarily and needed a working and functional master bathroom to move back home. Core Remodel was able to come in and make the necessary changes to get this job moving along and completed with very little to work with. The new plumbing and electrical had to be completely redone as there was lots of mechanical errors from the old GC. The existing space had no master bathroom on the second floor, so this was an addition - not a typical remodel. The job was eventually completed and the owners were thrilled with the quality of work, timeliness and constant communication. This was one of our favorite jobs to see how happy the clients were after the job was completed. The owners are amazing and continue to give Core Remodel glowing reviews and referrals. Additionally, the owners had a very clear vision for what they wanted and we were able to complete the job while working with the owners!

We were hired to put together a full redesign of the front and back of the home. We sat with the clients and got an overview of what they were looking for. One of the elements involved includes a large synthetic deck, that oversees the entire rear landscape. We installed a large creek bed that runs from the top of the design to the bottom. Included are steps and walkways from the top of the drive using natural quarried stone steps, incorporated is a long meandering paver walkway that ultimately leads to a large paver patio area below. There was a severe storm water drainage issue that was rectified prior to the commencement of the project. We expect to return this spring to complete the front phase of the project.

Transitional living room photo in Vancouver

In this photo, you can see the preparation work that needs to be undertaken before painting commences. The siding is dirty, particularly at the top. Surfaces need a thorough cleaning before painting, otherwise, the new coat of paint won’t adhere properly, and the dirt will show through. You can see how the bottom of the door is also chipped and scuffed and needs carpentry work.

Barry McCall Photography. This young successful professional decided to completely transform his home. The work commenced with a total gutting of the property and a sustainable renovation followed. The home was heated by underfloor heating and equipped for all the latest technology. Great consideration was given to his active lifestyle and constant entertaining. His future plans to marry his wonderful fiancee and start a family all contributed to the outcome and great success of the project.

Looking at this closer, before, picture, it’s hard to believe it’s the same house. The previous color was a light green. It was very badly weathered and chipped. Even the fascia was showing it’s age. Due to its condition, this home required a lot of preparation work, and some light carpentry before house painting could commence. The arched window on the left shows a definite crack. The light carpentry work our team carried out quickly fixed this issue.
