This Lenexa, Kansas primary bathroom remodel was designed to create a brighter, more open space while improving everyday functionality and long-term accessibility. The existing oversized jacuzzi tub was removed to expand the shower footprint, allowing for a spacious zero-entry shower and a more efficient layout tailored to the homeowners' needs. Thoughtful accessibility features, including heated floors, grab bars, and a curbless shower design, were seamlessly integrated into the space without compromising style. Warm wood cabinetry, marble and travertine tile, brass plumbing fixtures, and a custom makeup vanity with an LED wall mirror add warmth and sophistication throughout. A frameless glass shower enclosure enhances the open feel of the room, allowing natural light and carefully selected finishes to shine. The result is a timeless primary bathroom that balances luxury, comfort, and accessibility while supporting the homeowners' lifestyle for years to come.

This project transformed a simple entry area into a custom outdoor living space designed for durability, safety, and long-term value. We built a new pressure-treated wood porch and elevated deck system with reinforced structural components, clean craftsmanship, and code-compliant railings. The design improves accessibility while creating a welcoming outdoor extension of the home. Surrounding landscaping and hardscape elements were incorporated to deliver a polished, cohesive finish that enhances curb appeal from every angle. Constructed with quality materials and professional attention to detail, this upgrade provides a functional, low-maintenance space for everyday use while significantly improving the home’s exterior appearance and resale value.

For this prewar Classic Seven on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Tara McCauley reimagined a long-term rental for a family of five who loved their home but felt it needed a more intentional point of view. The goal was to make it feel like a fully realized, personal space without undertaking major renovation. In the main living area, one room that functions as living room, dining room, entry hall, and play zone, the clients wanted to keep several beloved pieces, including a comfortable worn-in leather sofa, yellow patterned valances, and the Oushak rug that ultimately drove the project’s palette. New elements like grasscloth, custom lighting, and color-forward furniture add structure and warmth while still accommodating the daily orbit of three young kids.

Bright, Functional Basement Remodel Designed for Everyday Living This basement transformation focused on creating a warm, inviting space where the whole family could relax, entertain, and unwind. The goal was simple: turn an underutilized lower level into a comfortable extension of the home — without sacrificing durability or long-term value. A neutral color palette keeps the space light and open, while recessed LED lighting throughout eliminates dark corners and enhances ceiling height. New plush carpeting adds comfort underfoot, making the space ideal for movie nights, game days, and everyday lounging. Strategically placed support columns were integrated seamlessly into the layout, preserving structural integrity while maintaining open sightlines across the room. The flexible floor plan allows for multiple zones — including a dedicated media area, gaming space, and additional room for hobbies or future customization. Clean trim details, fresh paint, updated doors, and cohesive finishes give the basement a polished, finished feel that mirrors the quality of the main living levels upstairs. At Hillview Custom Renovations, we believe basements should feel intentional — not like an afterthought. This project demonstrates how thoughtful planning and quality craftsmanship can transform a lower level into one of the most loved spaces in the home.

This Chicago modern renovation was designed to create a clean, open living space anchored by a custom floor-to-ceiling fireplace wall. Finished with large-format marble-look porcelain slabs and a sleek linear fireplace, the feature wall brings strong architectural presence while maintaining a refined and minimal aesthetic. The open layout creates a seamless connection between the living room, dining area, and adjacent kitchen, improving natural flow and making the entire main level feel larger and more intentional. A custom floating mantel adds contrast and balance, while layered lighting and warm wood flooring soften the modern finishes. Every element of this renovation was planned to support both everyday living and long-term value—combining strong material selection, clean design lines, and precise execution to create a timeless interior built to endure.

Attached Gable Patio Cover – Custom Outdoor Living Upgrade This project features a beautifully crafted attached gable-style patio cover designed to seamlessly integrate with the existing home while creating a bright, open outdoor living space. Built with a 4/12 roof pitch and a structural center rafter layout, the cover provides both architectural interest and long-term durability. The structure includes solid GLB beam wrapping, pre-primed cedar post wraps for a clean finished look, and a natural pine soffit that adds warmth and texture overhead. Roofing was carefully matched to the home for a cohesive appearance. To enhance usability and comfort, we installed four 6” recessed can lights on a dimmer switch, creating adjustable lighting for evening gatherings and everyday enjoyment. Black hardware accents complement the home’s exterior, while the gutter system is designed to integrate with future landscaping plans. Every structural detail — from custom 11” x 11” plinth footings to careful vinyl siding integration — was executed to ensure strength, longevity, and a polished finish. This attached gable patio cover transforms the backyard into a functional, inviting extension of the home — perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying year-round outdoor living.

This Costa Mesa kitchen remodel is a stunning blend of modern luxury and timeless craftsmanship. Rich espresso shaker-style cabinets bring warmth and depth to the space, beautifully contrasted by the light, veined elegance of a Perla Venata quartzite island and countertops. The backsplash combines soft ceramic tiles with a decorative accent behind the range hood, adding texture and character. We upgraded the plumbing and electrical systems to support both form and function, ensuring long-term comfort and performance. Under-cabinet lighting highlights the custom details, while a fresh coat of Natural Linen paint brightens the entire kitchen. A centered island sink with a sleek gooseneck faucet enhances usability and style. Altogether, this transformation delivers both aesthetic beauty and practical luxury, redefining the heart of the home.
