Our recent customer in Frisco already had a great outdoor living space, but after years of enjoying it...a few areas were definitely ready for an update. Instead of starting over, we focused on refreshing the features that mattered most. The outdoor kitchen received all new grilling equipment, which meant modifying the existing grill cutouts and updating portions of the luederstone to make sure everything fit perfectly. The result is a cleaner, more functional cooking space that's ready for the next backyard gathering!
Additionally, we gave the patio a refreshed new look by installing beautiful tumbled travertine tile, adding warmth, character and a timeless feel to the patio itself. We replaced the rotting wood at the bottom of several patio cover posts, helping restore the structure's appearance and longevity. Sometimes the best patio transformations aren't complete makeovers...they're thoughtful upgrades that make an already-loved space feel fresh, updated and ready for years of enjoyment ahead!

This thoughtfully renovated flip was designed with both beauty and longevity in mind, featuring an ADA-accessible private suite tailored for aging in place. The layout was fully re-imagined to improve flow and daily functionality—most notably by opening up the main living areas and removing an outdated corner brick fireplace, allowing for smoother circulation and a brighter, more connected home.
The primary suite was significantly expanded to create a spacious bedroom, an oversized walk-in closet, and a serene master bathroom, transforming it into a true retreat. A new patio door was added to enhance indoor-outdoor connection and bring in natural light.
The kitchen was refreshed with a timeless black-and-white palette, elevated by champagne bronze hardware, updated lighting, and charming shiplap accents. A dedicated coffee bar adds both function and personality, making the space perfect for everyday living and entertaining.
Bathrooms were finished with extra-large format porcelain tile on both floors and walls, creating a clean, seamless, and spa-like feel while ensuring durability and easy maintenance. Throughout the main living areas, we installed rustic waterproof wood-look flooring in a mid-tone oak, offering warmth, texture, and long-term performance—ideal for multi-generational living.
This renovation balances accessibility, comfort, and modern elegance, proving that a well-designed home can be both future-ready and beautifully timeless.

Elegance often starts with simplicity, regardless of the style of the space. This Midcentury Modern kitchen has a 24x48 porcelain floor tile installed. Bigger is better, even in the smallest of areas. When stepping to a 12x24 tile, the reality of that choice, often creates the space to date quicker due to the increased grout. Also, a product on the floor must appear to have the strength and depth to support the visual size of a room. That is created by size or by using tiles to work as a team. Stepping to a 12x24 tile will often cause a home owner to feel as if they must remodel once 3-4 years have passed. Simply, a larger format tile will often increase the longevity of a home, space or project, it's due to the simplicity and decrease in grout.
This home has porcelain countertops installed. Porcelain countertops are a choice many don't know they can make. Porcelain handles heat incredibly well, It looks incredible and handles abuse, with no real maintenance required, where stone requires a lot of up-keep. We have been walking on porcelain for decades. It's strange it has taken so long to create porcelain countertops. To be successful with the install of a porcelain countertop, you must hire the right company that specializes in installing that type of product. Not always, but often, a stone countertop installer is not interested or trained in the install of a porcelain countertop. Laminam is probably one of the most successful porcelain countertops to install. They don't have a tendency to hairline facture at install like the other bands.

This home, located in Millis, MA, had originally had 5-year old Certainteed Weatherboard fiber cement installed that was improperly installed by the builder and had cracks and rot already setting in. This homeowner heard about Everlast Composite Siding and decided to reach out to us because the idea of having a low maintenance siding appealed to her.
Understandably, this Millis homeowner did every bit of her homework to ensure she found the right product and the right company to replace her failing siding.
As the most experienced composite installer in New England and installing Everlast for close to a decade we’ve perfected the installation and understand what procedures are necessary to ensure the longevity of the product.
We loved restoring this homeowners confidence and restoring their love for their home again. We did so by installing Everlast Composite Siding in the 7” exposure of Sand Dune and a new Provia Entry Door with Sidelites.

The stepped board-formed concrete retaining walls, strong lines of the metal work and the organic character of the native plantings make a strong architectural statement while responding to the original slope. The board-formed concrete is colored with Davis Gray 860 and all of the metal work is painted Anthracite Gray in order to accentuate the strong lines while maintaining a muted color palette. The stairs and railings are capped with Cumaru wood for color warmth and material longevity. The plant palette is composed of predominantly California sun-loving natives - including Manzanita, California Buckwheat, California Poppy, and others - in order to capitalize on the southern exposure and provide a drought resistant landscape into the future.
