Our clients loved my suggestion of the microwave drawer when we proposed removing the dining room wall. The spice rack is on the left and trays on the right of the range anchored by pot drawers for a fully functional island with a shiny new hood above.

These homeowners had patio installed before we showed up, but they had the builder grade wood deck, much smaller than useful. We decided to build a much larger deck of 36′ wide by 14′ deep with different areas separated by an accent boards. The materials they choose was Timbertech’s PVC Capped Composite Decking in the Legacy Series with using Pecan color for the main decking and then accented with the Mocha. We wanted the deck design to flow easily with the patio, so we created an open and cornered staircase that connected the 2 areas as well as easy access to the backyard. Black Westbury Full Aluminum Railing was installed in the Tuscany Series and to keep everything in a “clean” look – we decided to use 2″ posts all around. To finish it off, we installed Timbertech Riser Lights on the stairs and then Westbury’s Side Post Accent Lights. This deck turned out great and will be enjoyed for many years!

This bathroom was a dated mish-mash (see Before Pics!) We decided to design it with mission/arts & crafts style tiles & include the farmhouse window frame(s) that go throughout the house. It's a pretty space now!

Designed for large living spaces, the Georgian wood burning fireplaces feature a full brick to face design with no visible sheet metal. Astria’s Mosaic Masonry™ system uses real firebrick walls giving your home an upscale feel for a fraction of the cost. Georgian Fireplace shown with Warm Red Split Herringbone Mosaic Masonry™ Brick.

Like trying to choose a favorite child, it’s hard to decide which spots they like more…the front patio, the fireplace seating area, or the private corner nook. And the winner is….the corner nook. “It’s like an addition on our house! We spend every moment we can in there. It’s cool and comfortable…a nice place to relax, read, and nap,” said Jan.

Taking good care of this home and taking time to customize it to their family, the owners have completed four remodel projects with Castle. The 2nd floor addition was completed in 2006, which expanded the home in back, where there was previously only a 1st floor porch. Now, after this remodel, the sunroom is open to the rest of the home and can be used in all four seasons. On the 2nd floor, the home’s footprint greatly expanded from a tight attic space into 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The kitchen remodel, which took place in 2013, reworked the floorplan in small, but dramatic ways. The doorway between the kitchen and front entry was widened and moved to allow for better flow, more countertop space, and a continuous wall for appliances to be more accessible. A more functional kitchen now offers ample workspace and cabinet storage, along with a built-in breakfast nook countertop. All new stainless steel LG and Bosch appliances were ordered from Warners’ Stellian. Another remodel in 2016 converted a closet into a wet bar allows for better hosting in the dining room. In 2018, after this family had already added a 2nd story addition, remodeled their kitchen, and converted the dining room closet into a wet bar, they decided it was time to remodel their basement. Finishing a portion of the basement to make a living room and giving the home an additional bathroom allows for the family and guests to have more personal space. With every project, solid oak woodwork has been installed, classic countertops and traditional tile selected, and glass knobs used. Where the finished basement area meets the utility room, Castle designed a barn door, so the cat will never be locked out of its litter box. The 3/4 bathroom is spacious and bright. The new shower floor features a unique pebble mosaic tile from Ceramic Tileworks. Bathroom sconces from Creative Lighting add a contemporary touch. Overall, this home is suited not only to the home’s original character; it is also suited to house the owners’ family for a lifetime. This home will be featured on the 2019 Castle Home Tour, September 28 – 29th. Showcased projects include their kitchen, wet bar, and basement. Not on tour is a second-floor addition including a master suite.

Our installation experts at Independent Home just completed a walk in tub installation for our customer Edward of Haddonfield. Find out why he decided to go with Independent Home along with how the installation was completed. Edward began shopping around for walk in tubs about a month ago. He was looking for a tub that was not only safe but could help with his arthritis. He received quotes from a few different companies but in the end decided on Independent Home. We were chosen because our salesmen were not pushy and were patient with answering all of Edward’s questions. A pre-installation meeting was then scheduled. The pre-installation meeting involved our installation experts and, of course, Edward. The meeting consisted of discussing what tub would be best for Edward’s needs, where the best location would be, and what type of finish should be added. Edward and our experts decided to go with our celebrity walk in tub with hydrotherapy model. The celebrity was the best choice for Edward because it had all of the requirements he was looking for. It met his safety requirements with a non-slip floor, an ADA compliant seat, and a low threshold for an easy entrance and exit. The tub’s hydrotherapy features will be able to reduce Edward’s arthritis pain. All he has to do is turn on the jets and relax. The way that the jets move will increase his circulation which will help his muscles and joints rehabilitate. The entire installation process only took a couple of days to complete. This consisted of removing Edward’s old tub and foundation, bringing in the new tub, leveling the legs, connecting the water, and testing for leaks. The last step of the installation was building the finish with a simple tile wall surround that Edward had requested. Edward loves his new tub. The hydrotherapy features have decreased his arthritis pain, allowing him to get out more.
