Problem: Homeowners had a leak in their smelly, damp basement Solution: Problem solved... and fresh, beautiful living spaces were created! "The homeowners called us to fix a leak in their basement... which turned out to be a backed up drain, caused by a crack in an obsolete drain tile, and two leaks in their foundation... it sort of snowballed," says Bryan Ogle, owner of Ogle Construction and Maintenance Services. With small children in the home, the couple decided to invest in solving the problem with a long- term solution. They wanted to make the basement safe and comfortable for their young family. After the drain tile was fixed, the entire area was reinsulated, and finished with new sheetrock, trim, carpet and lighting. The electrical system was updated and a new laundry room (with loads of storage), bedroom and family room were created in the space. What was once a damp, smelly basement (with a dehumidifier running constantly) is now a fresh, clean living space for the family to enjoy.

"TaylorPro completely remodeled our master bathroom. We had our outdated shower transformed into a modern walk-in shower, new custom cabinets installed with a beautiful quartz counter top, a giant framed vanity mirror which makes the bathroom look so much bigger and brighter, and a wood ceramic tile floor including under floor heating. Kerry Taylor also solved a hot water problem we had by installing a recirculating hot water system which allows us to have instant hot water in the shower rather than waiting forever for the water to heat up. From start to finish TaylorPro did a professional, quality job. Kerry Taylor was always quick to respond to any question or problem and made sure all work was done properly. Bonnie, the resident designer, did a great job of creating a beautiful, functional bathroom design combining our ideas with her own. Every member of the TaylorPro team was professional, hard-working, considerate, and competent. Any remodeling project is going to be somewhat disruptive, but the TaylorPro crew made the process as painless as possible by being respectful of our home environment and always cleaning up their mess at the end of the day. I would recommend TaylorPro Design to anyone who wants a quality project done by a great team of professionals. You won't be disappointed!" ~ Judy and Stuart C, Clients Carlsbad home with Caribbean Blue mosaic glass tile, NuHeat radiant floor heating, grey weathered plank floor tile, pebble shower pan and custom "Whale Tail" towel hooks.

My client in Alberta, Canada wanted more privacy on their front door side panels. I created this Forest privacy film to solve the problem. It looks as though you are looking out into a forest scene with beautiful brook. My client was very pleased with the end result.

Remodeled a tired wood porch with no skirting and a very tired look. Now its less time to maintain. Vinyl wrapped columns, composite decking, open ceiling with added lighting, and solved a water problem where the garage roof used to dump into house

In this view, we see the fireplace, which was renovated to display a higher hearth. The original was too close to the floor for easy viewing. Moving the hearth higher creates a focal point for the room. This treatment required an extremely creative fireplace technician to solve the problem. The niche to the right of the fireplace houses the television and stereo.
