Cornerstone Roofing replaced the Cedar Shake roof on this Sammamish, Washington home with Medium Untreated Resawn Cedar Shakes. Our customer kindly shared, "I was impressed with everything about Cornerstone Roofing. I was representing my mom as her house was re-roofed and Cornerstone Roofing provided me updates while I was on a trip. They also talked with me in person when I was in town and on-site and explained what work was remaining. Also, that they would send out their own inspector to correct anything that needed rework. The work team should be commended for working under extreme rainy conditions. My mom loves her new shake roof." - Sammamish, WA Homeowner

"Not only does Tulipalo provide 'Exceptional Fires' they also provide exceptional customer service.
I ordered my Stuv MicroMega back in April 2023 and my expectations were managed from day one explaining that it had a lead in time of 6 months for manufacture.
In September I had the privilege of having Simon and Mark start the fitting of the fire along with the fireplace, hearth and slips. It took a few days as expected but I was lucky enough to be off for the duration to see them do their exceptional work. Apart from a great service they are also genuinely nice guys who can be trusted with your every need.
Thank you Tulipalo for what was a great experience. I absolutely love my fire and the finished project is exactly what I was after."
Another happy client.

Cathedral ceilings and seamless cabinetry complement this kitchen’s river view
The low ceilings in this ’70s contemporary were a nagging issue for the 6-foot-8 homeowner. Plus, drab interiors failed to do justice to the home’s Connecticut River view.
By raising ceilings and removing non-load-bearing partitions, architect Christopher Arelt was able to create a cathedral-within-a-cathedral structure in the kitchen, dining and living area. Decorative mahogany rafters open the space’s height, introduce a warmer palette and create a welcoming framework for light.
The homeowner, a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, wanted to emulate the famed architect’s use of reddish-brown concrete floors, and the result further warmed the interior. “Concrete has a connotation of cold and industrial but can be just the opposite,” explains Arelt.
Clunky European hardware was replaced by hidden pivot hinges, and outside cabinet corners were mitered so there is no evidence of a drawer or door from any angle.

Hallway
This Financial Firm located in the heart of La Jolla, San Diego was a style revamping that the owners were wanting for over 12 years. After meeting with these amazing financial owners they sat down and explained they were looking for a space that was warm and inviting, with touches of comfort that would show off their talent through design. We did just that.
From designing a new custom sign that displayed their name and logo on the wall as you enter into the firm, to making a lobby space that is inviting for their clients to wait in. We were able to also add in some amazing art in the conference room and design each office geared toward the partners personality. We added in some of their current art and furniture while adding in some new pieces, paint, plants, and a whole new style. This office is new and improved for any client that now walks into the space.
*There are more features that were done within the space

Feature In: Visit Miami Beach Magazine & Island Living
A nice young couple contacted us from Brazil to decorate their newly acquired apartment. We schedule a meeting through Skype and from the very first moment we had a very good feeling this was going to be a nice project and people to work with. We exchanged some ideas, comments, images and we explained to them how we were used to worked with clients overseas and how important was to keep communication opened.
They main concerned was to find a solution for a giant structure leaning column in the main room, as well as how to make the kitchen, dining and living room work together in one considerably small space with few dimensions.
Whether it was a holiday home or a place to rent occasionally, the requirements were simple, Scandinavian style, accent colors and low investment, and so we did it. Once the proposal was signed, we got down to work and in two months the apartment was ready to welcome them with nice scented candles, flowers and delicious Mojitos from their spectacular view at the 41th floor of one of Miami's most modern and tallest building.

This steeply sloped property was converted into a backyard retreat through the use of natural and man-made stone. The natural gunite swimming pool includes a sundeck and waterfall and is surrounded by a generous paver patio, seat walls and a sunken bar. A Koi pond, bocce court and night-lighting provided add to the interest and enjoyment of this landscape.
This beautiful redesign was also featured in the Interlock Design Magazine. Explained perfectly in ICPI, “Some spa owners might be jealous of the newly revamped backyard of Wayne, NJ family: 5,000 square feet of outdoor living space, complete with an elevated patio area, pool and hot tub lined with natural rock, a waterfall bubbling gently down from a walkway above, and a cozy fire pit tucked off to the side. The era of kiddie pools, Coleman grills and fold-up lawn chairs may be officially over.”

"When I first visited the client's house, and before seeing the space, I sat down with my clients to understand their needs. They told me they were getting ready to remodel their bathroom and master closet, and they wanted to get some ideas on how to make their closet better. The told me they wanted to figure out the closet before they did anything, so they presented their ideas to me, which included building walls in the space to create a larger master closet. I couldn't visual what they were explaining, so we went to the space. As soon as I got in the space, it was clear to me that we didn't need to build walls, we just needed to have the current closets torn out and replaced with wardrobes, create some shelving space for shoes and build an island with drawers in a bench. When I proposed that solution, they both looked at me with big smiles on their faces and said, 'That is the best idea we've heard, let's do it', then they asked me if I could design the vanity as well.
"I used 3/4" Melamine, Italian walnut, and Donatello thermofoil. The client provided their own countertops." - Leslie Klinck, Designer
