This home remodeling project was completed by Gappsi in Old Brookville, Long island NY. The project was a total renovation of the entire house exterior, including walls and trims. All existing crown moldings and sills were removed, the surface around the window exteriors and doors were adjusted and prepared, and then they were wrapped with decorative PVC/AZEK moldings. All moldings were sealed, nail holes were patched and filled, and all new trim work was painted. Front stoop platform was enlarged from the original size and extended out with two new steps added. The top of the steps and platform were paved with Pennsylvania Bluestone, the sides and step risers were faced with grey-color split face marble stone veneer. Two columns, three feet tall, were added as a base for the portico columns. The first floor and the 2-car garage walls were finished with grey & white colored marble split face stone veneer from foundation to the suffits. The front lawn retaining wall was redesigned and wrapped with the same grey color split face stone veneer. Bluestone caps were installed on top of it, and two new lights were installed on the left and right end side wall of the driveway aprons. Gappsi installed a new front entry door. New stucco was applied on all exterior walls of the front, rear, and side of the entire house with a light grey color. Gappsi provides all types of home remodeling and construction throughout the Incorporated Village of Old Brookville in both zip code areas of 11545 and 11548. This village is located within the Town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County, New York. Gappsi also provides commercial general contractors, dormers, home extensions, and all home improvement services in the Village of Old Brookville on Long Island, NY.

Modern luxury meets warm farmhouse in this Southampton home! Scandinavian inspired furnishings and light fixtures create a clean and tailored look, while the natural materials found in accent walls, casegoods, the staircase, and home decor hone in on a homey feel. An open-concept interior that proves less can be more is how we’d explain this interior. By accentuating the “negative space,” we’ve allowed the carefully chosen furnishings and artwork to steal the show, while the crisp whites and abundance of natural light create a rejuvenated and refreshed interior. This sprawling 5,000 square foot home includes a salon, ballet room, two media rooms, a conference room, multifunctional study, and, lastly, a guest house (which is a mini version of the main house).

A small pinhole in the coupling of the hot water supply line from the Hot Water Heater developed and began leaking and spraying hot steamy mist. Because of its location in the seldom used Finished Full Basement, it initially went unnoticed. By the time the homeowners noticed the leaking water, the moisture content in the ceiling sheetrock and well down the walls read 100%. The moist, warm environment proved to be ideal for colonies of mold spores to spread throughout the basement, aided by the HVAC systems return and supply lines circulating the mold spores. It didn’t take long before mold patches eventually covered all of the exposed materials and surfaces, furniture included. The homeowners’ had protection from their insurance policy and were able to have repairs done after this unfortunate disaster. Construction ensued. The ceiling, floors, and all of the interior and exterior walls were stripped down to the wood framing and masonry and disposed of. The 1st and 2nd Floor HVAC Ductwork was removed, and the entire existing Full Bath was gutted. The remodeling included increasing the size of the full bath and removing the shower/tub as well as installing a large and comfortable tile shower. We added a small towel closet, and a separate entry into the adjoining room, which would now be reconfigured into a bedroom. A new EPA Water Sense-rated commode, a vanity cabinet with a natural granite countertop and an under-mount sink, a wall-hung mirror, and new sconce lights rounded out the update. We turned the adjoining room next to the full bath into a bedroom. We added generous closet storage space and new lighting. We finally turned our attention to the old kitchenette / wet bar. We took away some of the footprint to add to the full bath and designed an efficient and handsome wet bar / kitchenette. Porcelain tile, no VOC interior paints, a complete replacement of the basement and 1st Floor HVAC ducting, air handler equipment cleaning, and green-certified carpet and pad combined to create a healthy and light-filled living environment.

A full concrete floor restoration and epoxy coating system completed for an enclosed sunroom in Ventura, CA [source: 7, 8]. Enclosed sunrooms and patio rooms present unique challenges: they endure intense direct sunlight, heavy daily foot traffic, and the shifting temperatures of indoor-outdoor California living. This space required a durable, long-lasting surface that could handle harsh UV exposure without blinding glare, hot-tire pickup, or chemical breakdown. Mechanical Diamond Grinding: Prepared the entire concrete slab using heavy Husqvarna planetary diamond grinders connected directly to continuous pulse HEPA dust extractors [source: 1, 3, 5]. We strictly avoid acid etching and chemical washes, opening the concrete’s pores purely mechanically to ensure an unbreakable bond without airborne dust or lingering odors [source: 3, 5]. Substrate & Crack Remediation: Chased, cleaned, and patched all surface fractures, joints, and micro-imperfections flush with the slab to create a level, seamless foundation. Commercial Epoxy Base Coat & Decorative Blend: Applied an industrial-grade epoxy base coat followed immediately by a full, edge-to-edge broadcast of decorative color chips, creating uniform texture, hiding substrate flaws, and providing built-in slip resistance [source: 7, 8]. Matte UV-Stable Poly Aspartic Topcoat: Finished the floor with a heavy-duty, non-yellowing poly aspartic clear coat specified in an anti-glare matte finish [source: 7, 8]. The matte sheen diffuses harsh sun glare streaming through the sunroom windows while resisting hot patio furniture, pet claws, stains, and daily wear [source: 7, 8].
