Because the house is located close to other homes, the courtyard was essential for privacy.

Clients were wanting to expand their 50's era semi-bungalow to a full two storey so they could add one more bedroom and bathroom to their second level. Part of the plan was to create an actual master suite with proper ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet space. Phase one took the project to drywall stage, but later we added phase two where we finished the rest of the second level to finish stage along with a complete refresh of the main level with new finishings including flooring and counter-tops. The exterior of the home was also re-done including new windows, doors, and siding plus roof shingles of course. The result was a great and expanded character bungalow in a very desirable area located close to downtown.

Want the most unique backyard covered area in town? Your friends will be amazed by your Aluminum Louvered Patio Roof System that OPENS and CLOSES by remote control! It’s even Solar Powered! These are not kits. We build them to your specifications for both residential and commercial, up to any size. With the Lifetime Warranty on the powder coated finish, you will enjoy this maintenance free roof for YEARS! (The system pictured is attached to the house which is our most popular!) This product will totally protect you from the SUN and RAIN! When closed all the way the roof will not leak underneath. Each louver acts as a gutter that channels all the water off into the grass or an optional gutter system. You can adjust the amount of sunlight you want coming through your roof because you can stop it in any position between open and close. This is the Cadillac of roof systems so be prepared to spend some money, but it will be one of the best investments you can ever make in your home. What good is a Florida backyard if it’s too hot or wet to enjoy it!

This home had a generous master suite prior to the renovation; however, it was located close to the rest of the bedrooms and baths on the floor. They desired their own separate oasis with more privacy and asked us to design and add a 2nd story addition over the existing 1st floor family room, that would include a master suite with a laundry/gift wrapping room. We added a 2nd story addition without adding to the existing footprint of the home. The addition is entered through a private hallway with a separate spacious laundry room, complete with custom storage cabinetry, sink area, and countertops for folding or wrapping gifts. The bedroom is brimming with details such as custom built-in storage cabinetry with fine trim mouldings, window seats, and a fireplace with fine trim details. The master bathroom was designed with comfort in mind. A custom double vanity and linen tower with mirrored front, quartz countertops and champagne bronze plumbing and lighting fixtures make this room elegant. Water jet cut Calcatta marble tile and glass tile make this walk-in shower with glass window panels a true work of art. And to complete this addition we added a large walk-in closet with separate his and her areas, including built-in dresser storage, a window seat, and a storage island. The finished renovation is their private spa-like place to escape the busyness of life in style and comfort. These delightful homeowners are already talking phase two of renovations with us and we look forward to a longstanding relationship with them.

Increased space for a larger kitchen was accomplished by relocating the dining room to the front of the home and removing the wall between the existing kitchen and the former dining room. The new layout allows for all the desired appliances, along with plenty of seating at the island and peninsula for this active family. Three windows were removed and a new, larger window was installed over the sink. Two work areas were created between the sink and range. A second oven, microwave drawer and warming drawer were located close to the range. A dishwasher was installed in the island, and for additional storage, new, tall pantry cabinets were placed across from the island. Cabinets were painted cream with a charcoal glaze. A focal point was created by a buffet that includes a wet bar, sink and ice maker. The buffet cabinets are painted black to match the island, along with a decorative backsplash and granite counter in "Ice White." A chevron pattern tile backsplash blends the colors of the cabinetry and the floor, while pendant lights over the island create a striking effect.
