This beautiful marble mantel is a hand carved work of art. Carved from a pure white marble in the french style from the rococo period. This piece is an elegant addition to any french countryside home.

Beautiful large bay window behind the sink that looks out into the backyard. It's such a nice look with the counter top extending all the way toward the window. Photos by Chris Veith.

When Carl’s was called on to transform a Manasquan, NJ home from top to bottom, our team responded emphatically to the challenge. Here’s a quick look at this complete Manasquan makeover. Weatherproof Roofing Carl’s installed an Owen’s Corning watertight roofing system designed to outlast the harshest elements of all four seasons. Owens Corning is known as a top-quality manufacturer, with roofing materials lasting up to 20 years and capable of withstanding up to 80 mph winds. Cedar-Impressed Siding Vinyl siding with cedar impressions serves the dual purpose of being both stylish and easy to manage. Seamless Gutters 5” seamless gutters reduce the need for ongoing maintenance, as they do not need to be cleaned frequently like other types of gutters do. They are also minimally invasive of the home’s unique design and character. Energy-Efficient Andersen Windows New windows don’t just look sparkly and clean; they can also go a long way toward lowering your monthly energy bill. Carl’s installed energy-efficient windows from Andersen, the largest window manufacturer in North America. The homeowners will benefit from reduced home heating and cooling costs for years to come. Front Storm and Sliding Doors Front storm doors and back sliding doors were matched to the homeowners’ tastes in design. Low-Maintenance Decking There’s no better place to be in spring and summer than on your own private deck. This home’s decking is made from WOLF Tongue & Groove Porch material, which is durable, visually pleasing, and low-maintenance all at once. Vinyl Fencing Lastly, vinyl fencing around the home’s exterior brings the full renovation together with a final touch of curb appeal.

Maybe you can relate to these empty nesters who reached out to us to design and build a new kitchen for their current and long term needs. They do lots of entertaining, have an extensive wine collection and enjoy welcoming more grandchildren into the family. Both cook, although he prefers his grill. They wanted their new kitchen to be an open space that is easier to move around in. They were also looking forward to more storage and new, state-of-the-art appliances. Design objectives: -New layout to accommodate large groups for frequent entertaining -Big island to seat as many people as possible Improve traffic flow by omitting a counter peninsula by the family room and other cabinet barriers -Main cooktop to face visitors with point-of-use spices, utensils, pots & pans nearby -Multiple cooking & refrigeration appliances -Plan for as much countertop space as possible for multiple cooks -Dedicated spaces needed for wine, liquor, cold drinks & decorative glassware -Incorporate special details such as thick or waterfall countertops, unique backsplash, wood accents -Need better task, ambient and general lighting -Make it beautiful – a kitchen the homeowners could be proud of -Seamlessly join kitchen with breakfast room, given load-bearing wall & various ceiling heights -Ensure the large, newly opened space remains intimate and inclusive -Determine how to best utilize the breakfast room, given limited availability of wall space with two sets of French doors and a large window -Relocating two ventilation ducts currently in a wall to be removed -Incorporate multiple appliances while adding functional storage -Integrate special details that wouldn’t be lost in a large room -Utilize multiple finishes and colors that provide continuity Design solutions: -The wall between the kitchen & breakfast nook was completely removed – the structural beam was shortened, providing the largest opening possible -One small wall section remained intact to relocate ductwork, which conveniently created an alcove for the dual refrigerator armoire -Two islands in the same finish visually join the elongated room -The cooking island includes necessary point-of-use storage along with a steam oven and additional storage on the opposite side The wide cooking island allows for two cooks to comfortably share the counter space, allowing casual interaction -The second island fills the center of the former breakfast room; tall cabinets in a contrasting finish flank the French doors and provide visual balance -The sizable second island provides seating for six on a conversation-conducive curve. It houses freezer drawers, a microwave drawer, an under-counter refrigerator, plus additional storage -Docking station inside drawer -Two cabinet styles in three finishes provide continuity, balance and interest in the large room While the clients didn’t have a specific vision of the remodeled space, they were completely open to new ideas and knew which features they wanted when they saw them. They were truly doing the project for their own enjoyment and that of their family and guests. We’re happy to know they are thrilled with the end result. In fact, we had so much fun working together we’re now talking about a new project!
