Sheri Brown of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Springfield, VA, partnered with Gallaghers Construction LLC to design a transitional kitchen featuring a mix of cabinetry brands and finishes. The space combines Merillat Autograph in the Basset door style with 5-piece drawer fronts in a painted Dove White finish, along with Masterpiece cabinetry in the Barton door style with 5-piece drawer fronts in a painted Lagoon finish. The clients shared, “I love our new kitchen and the way it has become the gathering space for our family. While it is never easy to be without a kitchen, the end result was completely worth it.” Sheri explained, “This was one of my first kitchens where I was able to design with coordinating cabinets from Merillat Autograph and Merillat Masterpiece to create the layout the clients envisioned. The clients were amazing to work with, which made the project even more enjoyable.” Photos courtesy of BTW Images.

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

Sometimes, there are moments in the remodeling experience that words cannot fully explain how amazing it can be. This home in Quincy, MA 02169 is one of those moments for our team. This now stunning colonial underwent one of the biggest transformations of the year. Previously, the home held its original cedar clapboards that since 1960 have rotted, cracked, peeled, and was an eyesore for the homeowners.

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.

The client was very excited to update her kitchen. She wanted a more inviting place to showcase her amazing cooking skills. The layout remained but the end result was a more complete kitchen with more storage which allowed for more counter space. We updated the tile floor, kitchen cabinets, counter top, tile back splash and appliances. Our professional sub-contractors updated the electric and plumbing to code. We finished the kitchen with a beautiful new gray paint which highlighted the counter top, grout color, appliances and floors. Client said: "Protech is a highly professional and more importantly, trustworthy company that strives to fully satisfy. They truly listened to my desires and made sure to explain all possible options and limitations that could lie ahead. I dealt with two of the owners (Paul, John) as well as their head foreman Will, who were all polite, always at the job site and kept everything clean. The end was everything and more than I was hoping for. While they were not the cheapest price wise, the cost is worth it in the end. You made me VERY HAPPY and PROUD of my new kitchen. THANK YOU!!!"

Diagnostic Service Call | Gilbert, AZ Client: Ganesh Location: Gilbert, AZ Scope of Work: No-cool diagnostic, electrical troubleshooting, referral to licensed electrician Ganesh called us because his system would click but never actually start up. The indoor fan ran and moved air, but no cooling ever came. That symptom points in a few different directions, so our technician worked through the system methodically. The outdoor condenser unit was not receiving high voltage power at all. Tracing it back, the breaker serving that system had failed. Here is where we stopped. A failed breaker is electrical panel work, which belongs with a licensed electrician rather than an HVAC technician. We explained the finding to Ganesh, told him exactly what to have the electrician do, and left it there. We could have kept looking for something to sell. The honest answer was that his HVAC equipment was fine and the problem sat upstream of it. Once the breaker is replaced, we are happy to come back and verify the system is operating properly. Ganesh, thank you for calling us out and for the straightforward conversation. System clicking but not starting? Olive Air and Heating serves Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa and the East Valley. #GilbertAZ #HVACDiagnostic #OliveAirHeating
