Our recent customer reached out to us for an exterior refresh and siding replacement at her twin home in Burlington, NJ. A challenge with a twin home is staying complementary with the neighboring house. NexGen Exterior Home Remodeling solved that problem by installing CertainTeed Mainstreet Vinyl siding in Natural Clay to flow nicely with the green siding of the attached home.
The existing windows were removed and replaced with the Harvey Slimline Series of windows. In order to complete the remodel, NexGen replaced the fascia, soffit, and gutters. Our homeowners are thrilled to show off their updated home.

This contraption is one of our many innovative problem-solving designs. In the corner you can see the scarves are hanging nicely on their round hooks, which are attached to a rotating mechanism for easy browsing.

This compact DC kitchen was in dire need of space saving tricks and we used several. The kitchen features two tip-on toe kick drawers, sink tilt out, lazy susan, blind corner cabinet and custom vertical wood dividers over the frig. The original kitchen layout was L shaped because space did not allow for full depth base cabinets on the right wall. Problem solved -- we simply built cabinets that were 18" deep which still provide loads of storage as well as much needed counter top space.

Open office workstations are designed for conversation to encourage impromptu problem-solving sessions.

The kitchen, while spacious, was completely enclosed from the living and dining room spaces and did not utilize the space efficiently. Traffic flow between the indoors and outdoors was disjointed, and the new kitchen layout solves those problems. The new design eliminates the walls in the kitchen to create an open space for entertaining, and an exterior door was added off the kitchen to facilitate a better traffic flow to the outdoor entertaining space. New cabinets, countertops, flooring, appliances, light fixtures, and finishes help to brighten and modernize the space.

Customer did not want to see the TV on this project when not in use. Solution ? Hide the TV behind a painting ! Notice the painting below the TV, that was hanging above the fireplace. We duplicated the painting to use in our custom Art Screen. Turn on the system and the painting rolls up into the frame, problem solved !

Craig Weber of Bridgewater Construction solved the problem by designing a unique custom staircase. He used the same building materials for both staircase and deck. But the stairs were both longer and wider than usual, making it easy for two or even three dogs to chase the same Frisbee at the same time. An unusual design objective, but it worked.

Wine gets better with age, but kitchens don’t. Such was the case with this Delano residence and the retired homeowners who asked us to guide them through a fresh design and color scheme in their kitchen, dining, and living room.

The solution to enjoy? Something clean, light, efficient, and elegant.

The completely reimagined floorplan included relocating the kitchen and Master Suite to the opposite side of the home to take better advantage of the views and natural light. All bathrooms and the laundry room were completely remodeled along with installing new doors, windows, and flooring throughout the home and completely upgrading all electrical and plumbing.
The end result is simply stunning. Light, bright, and modern, the new version of this home demonstrates the power of thoughtful architectural planning, creative problem solving, and expert design details.

The side-view close-up shows detail of the LED lighting we used to illuminate all the art objects on display. Fully adjustable shelves let us size each space to suit each object. We used non-combustible tiles on the hearth to blend seamlessly with the floor.
