Could a dreadful dishwasher leak be a blessing in disguise?
The Redding kitchen was very odd. The house was a beautiful brick house from the early 1900’s, but the kitchen had been renovated since then with an impractical layout. It worked, but, for as much time as Mr. and Mrs. spend in the kitchen, it left much to be desired. Because they enjoy cooking so much, they dreamed of having a functional kitchen that added to the character of the home and respected the history of it.
So that’s why Mr. and Mrs. went to a Lancaster Home Show where they meet ALL Renovation & Design. They were impressed with our process which guides clients through the design phase in a unique way that guarantees a customized remodel, tailored to their dreams. We really hit it off, but, since they were still in the idea stage, the years passed quickly.
Then one morning they discovered a puddle under the dishwasher. And, as is often the case, the damage had already spread to the surrounding cabinets and a large area of the floor. And upon further inspection, it was discovered that part of the floor was made with asbestos – which would require expert remediation. This was turning into a major rehab project.
That’s when they were faced with a tough call: do they patch it up now and rip it out in a few years when they remodel the entire kitchen, or, do they remodel now? They called ALL Renovation & Design.
First we worked with the insurance company to raise the damage claim to what it would have actually cost to repair the damage done by the leak… several thousand dollars higher than what they had initially appraised it.
Then we guided Mr. and Mrs. through the design process that carefully articulated the goals and vision for the new kitchen. Functionality and complementing the home’s character were top priority. They were extremely pleased with the help we provided in guiding them through the cabinet choices, layout, and color selections.
Communication was key. Especially when we got into the demolition and construction work. One thing you can be sure of when working with older homes is that there are almost always surprises between the walls. For the Redding kitchen it took the form of a steel support beam that we discovered on the second day of demolition. Because it prevented us from opening up the doorway, we had to pivot and adjust the cabinet spacing. Electrical access was also a serious problem that required added creativity to be sure the new space would include all the functionality of a modern kitchen. But all the challenges were overcome through creativity and almost constant communication.
At last, it was complete. Together we transformed the space into a beautiful transitional kitchen that is a joy to work in.
The maple cabinets with full-overlay doors were painted in matte white with copper hardware. The countertop and backsplash were Hanstone Quartz in the Strato color. It included a 30” single-basin sink in 14-gauge hammered copper. For the floor they chose Lauzan Maple Hardwood in the Sahara finish, installed in the herringbone pattern. And to really set off the kitchen, the old appliances were replaced with new GE Café appliances in their classy matte white with brushed copper accents.

This exterior repair project began after our client had their home re‑roofed a little over a year earlier. Like many homeowners, they didn’t realize the roofing crew had damaged several areas of siding and removed key trim pieces during the installation. It’s a common issue: most roofing companies have a single day to complete their work, and if siding or trim is in the way, it often gets cracked, loosened, or pulled off entirely.
At Deskins Siding & Exteriors, we specialize in identifying and repairing the exterior damage that often goes unnoticed after a roof replacement. During our inspection, we found multiple areas that needed attention, including:
• Damaged or missing Hardie siding
• Removed or broken trim
• Holes left behind during the roofing process
• Rotten soffit and deteriorated wood that required replacement
We restored each affected area using proper materials, matched profiles, and seamless Sherwin‑Williams paint blending to ensure the repairs disappeared into the home’s original exterior. The result is a clean, structurally sound finish that protects the home and enhances curb appeal.

This home experienced significant flooding, and Kitchen Solvers was honored to help bring it back to life with a stunning remodel. The homeowners chose the Maui door style in a beautiful Slate finish, creating a modern and sophisticated look throughout the kitchen.
To complement the cabinetry, they selected Bella Vista quartz countertops, which were carried up the wall as a full-height backsplash for a seamless, polished design. New stainless steel appliances completed the transformation, adding both style and functionality.
The result is a bright, refreshed kitchen that feels completely renewed. What an incredible transformation!
