Our busy Silicon Valley clients asked us to convert their tight-quartered 1960’s ranch house to a gracious family home that would meet their long term needs. Ease of living was paramount, both in functionality and in ordered design.
The project was completed on a moderate budget.While retaining most of the structure of the existing house to avoid costly structural changes, we opened walls to improve the sight lines and flow of the house and bring in more light. We made small additions at the front and back bedrooms to gain space for the family and relatives. An existing underused patio area was improved with a simple outdoor kitchen and overhang to extend the living space to the outside. Costs were kept down with choices of modest materials.
Everything was made to be functional. Ample storage has been built into the right places. The details of the kitchen were carefully worked out to accommodate all the wishes of the various cooks in the family. The house is set up to be easy to keep clean. Acoustic walls separate living from bedroom spaces so adults can enjoy time together while children sleep. The outdoor kitchen has easy access to the indoor kitchen and the garage, and its setup promotes socializing while cooking outdoors.
A large part of the narrow back yard was previously unusable space due to a steep slope up to a neighbor’s higher fence. With a new retaining wall and some re-grading we took back more of the yard for the patio and play space on a new lawn.
The remodeled house is a mix of contemporary and traditional elements. Cool colors have a calming effect. Traditional items such as prairie style windows, trellis, mosaic tiles, and Shaker style cabinets, break down the scale in an otherwise streamlined, contemporary design. A new gabled roof with a broad arch at the front of the house marks the entry and resolves a challenging form where the central entry is set back from walls on both sides.

This Lenexa, Kansas primary bathroom remodel was designed to create a brighter, more open space while improving everyday functionality and long-term accessibility.

Centennial, CO – James Hardie Siding Project
This Centennial home received a fresh new look with a stunning combination of James Hardie siding in deep blues and crisp whites, accented with warm cedar details. The bold HardiePlank® lap siding in a rich blue tone provides timeless curb appeal, while the white trim adds clean contrast and highlights the home’s architectural lines. Natural cedar accents bring warmth and texture, creating the perfect balance of modern style and Colorado charm.
Designed for durability as well as beauty, the fiber cement siding offers exceptional protection against Colorado’s weather, with low-maintenance performance and lasting color through James Hardie’s ColorPlus® technology. This transformation not only elevated the home’s exterior style but also added long-term value and peace of mind for the homeowners.

For this Gulf Coast family who split their time between states, the bathroom in their seasonal home was anything but a retreat. With its narrow layout, outdated finishes, and a bulky tub-shower combo crowding the space, it felt more like a motel stopover than a sanctuary. What they wanted was simple: comfort, elegance, and ease — a space that matched the rest of their coastal lifestyle.
We started by tearing down barriers — literally.
Two partition walls were removed, and in their place, structural beams were installed to open up the room and let it breathe. The once-cramped layout was transformed with a smarter floorplan: the toilet was relocated for better flow, a sleek new pocket door replaced the traditional swing door, and the plumbing was reworked to accommodate a modern, furniture-style vanity.
The tub was replaced with a walk-in shower, designed not just for today, but for tomorrow — offering both visual appeal and long-term accessibility. Large-format tile flooring adds to the sense of spaciousness and stability underfoot, while soft gray tones and clean lines create a calm, spa-like feel.
The result? A complete reimagining of space and function — where every design choice was made with comfort, beauty, and longevity in mind. It's the kind of upgrade that doesn’t just look good on a listing — it feels good every single day.

This custom outdoor living project combines architectural structure, premium materials, and integrated amenities to create a highly functional, resort-style backyard. The existing deck was fully removed and replaced with a new patio cover featuring a clean 2/12 roof pitch, four large skylights with blinds, pine soffits, black hardware, and a durable PVC roofing system. Thoughtful detailing includes wrapped beams and posts, integrated gutters and downspouts, and discreet venting for long-term performance.
The space is anchored by a fully built outdoor kitchen with a 42” Hestan grill, Danver flat-panel cabinetry, and Entzo countertops, designed for both everyday use and entertaining. A custom outdoor fireplace adds warmth and visual impact, complete with a substantial wood mantel and provisions for a recessed TV.
Underfoot, large-format bluestone deck tiles in a staggered pattern create a refined, modern surface, paired with bluestone stairs and clean fascia detailing. Black cable railing with an IPE top cap preserves open views while maintaining safety.
Comfort and technology are seamlessly integrated with recessed lighting, multiple heaters, Control4-ready electrical, and future-ready planning throughout. The result is a cohesive, high-end outdoor space designed for year-round enjoyment and future expansion.

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.

Professional outdoor furniture space planning ensured each seating area was properly scaled and positioned to maximize comfort, function, and the overall outdoor experience.
The furnishings were carefully selected from premium outdoor brands known for exceptional craftsmanship, comfort, and long-term durability, creating an outdoor space designed to be enjoyed for years to come.

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.
