This master bath was previously a logistical nightmare with virtually no space in the most important areas: the shower and the water closet. We moved some walls to open the space to what’s now a couple’s dream bathroom with plenty of space to do everything they desire in comfort.

The homeowners invited us in to their home with hopes of updating it's aesthetics, fixing some functional nightmares, and creating an open but still intimate space for small gatherings. Our changes included; removing a large wet bar area, partially removing the wall between the living and kitchen, and opening the formal dining to the kitchen by removing a cased opening between the two rooms. By making these changes, along with many cabinet and appliance location adjustments, a cordially inviting space was achieved. Now the home matches the owner's charm and hospitable spirit.

This Loudonville couple started by getting a quote to finish their attic space, but then changed gears and decided the kitchen was more important at this time. Estimator Anthony and designer Justina from Bennett Contracting went to work on a new design. The home is an older colonial with classic features, and the existing kitchen was a poorly laid out 90’s nightmare. With children in the home the island cooktop alone was a constant danger. By adding a window and removing the wall from the dining room, the new kitchen is much brighter and connected to the rest of the home. Bennett removed the old vinyl tile and continued the wood flooring into the new kitchen space. Justina admits it was so much fun working on this project because the owners were open to all sorts of design features. Roll-outs in most cabinets, hidden bread boards, hutch coffee bar, brass chicken wire, and the very cool antique foot rail. Then there are the custom cabinet colors. RD Henry Cabinets matched Glidden paint colors to get the exact color the client desired. They even sent three cabinet samples to get it right. These classic features combined with the modern design brings new life to the space.

The clients purchased the home about 15 years ago and never knew what to do with the porch addition off the back of the home. In addition to being a general eye sore and cutting off a large portion of their small back yard, it was always a little damp, smelly, and not very well arranged. This also impeded access to the back yard by forcing passage through a secondary space. The size of the porch restricted light into the home which they did not like. The at-grade cedar deck was a maintenance nightmare and a terrible misuse of space.

Sitting room connected to Master Bedroom,. It is the most relaxing room you will ever find. The coffered ceiling has 3 shades of grey with white crown. A painters nightmare!

“Just a quick thank you to You, Lester and your team at Cascade West. I also wanted you to know that if it wasn’t for Dustin at DeWils, this would have been a nightmare. He was fabulous and helped us out in any way he could. Both him and Ron are professionals that have my referrals going forward. You all there build a great home.”

For this kitchen remodeling project, the homeowner’s mobile home suffered from water damage and the kitchen needed to be completely redone. We got busy tearing out all the old cabinets and flooring. The new cabinets were done in a birch Maui door in a polar white color. Next, we installed a new quartz countertop done in Blanco Maple and a Raku Ocean backsplash. To finish the new kitchen, we installed a new laminate plank floor. See how this kitchen went from a nightmare into a dream kitchen.

This master bathroom was a nightmare prior to construction. It is a long, narrow space with an exterior wall on a diagonal. I was able to add a water closet by taking some of the bedroom walk-in closet and also added an open shower complete with body sprays and a linear floor drain. The cabinetry has an electric outlet and pull outs for storage. I changed the large windows to higher awning windows to work with the style of the house.

The listing on this home said the electrical had been updated. Our inspection found a new panel and service, but 30-40% of the knob and tube wiring was left in all of the hard to reach spaces. Now this house is a mixture of old and new wiring. An electricians nightmare moving forward! Baseline Inspections
