This home show house won best in entertainment for a reason! Catching the game (or three) will never be a problem for this basement bar. It contains glass cabinetry features, open shelves and wine nooks. The backsplash was a copper color that complimented the porcelain floor. Appliances included a microwave/convection oven and 2 sets of refrigerator drawers-one containing a freezer on top with an ice maker. *Photos by Kerry Bern

At Christian Exteriors, we use GAF, known for the manufacturing of exquisite roofing materials that ensure protection against weather extremes. Our roofing system keeps the roof deck dry and moisture-free so you don’t have to deal with problems like wall stains, wet insulation, or even rotting of the deck, thus preventing you from the loss of hundreds, and even thousands of dollars! GAF is the number one asphalt roofing shingle manufacturing company in all of North America.

This section of cabinetry provides specific problem- solving features that the old kitchen did not provide. Hidden inside the middle and bottom drawers are dish peg organizers, while the top drawer offers an expandable cutlery rack. A message center is located inside a wall unit at the left end of the cabinet run. The glass doors are shorter to create ample space for the counter appliance, which never fit on the counter in the old kitchen plan.

Pre-existing concrete courtyard entrance. The concrete entrance was originally designed to provide a low maintenance wheel chair friendly entrance. The unintended consequence of positioning the pathway in the lowest part of the courtyard caused water to pool and freeze during the winter creating a very dangerous entrance. Given the entire concrete hardscape surface, snow and water has to be completely removed from the courtyard to alleviate the problem. - Larry Elmore

ouble the bathroom trouble in this 1990’s home … solved with this Sosna renovation! Our clients, empty-nesters desiring the peace and ease of retirement, were instead frustrated and exhausted with leaky bathroom plumbing from a previous renovation that would just not go away. Their Shared Bathroom, renovated by their friend years ago, was not done correctly, causing repetitive leaking with damage to their Kitchen ceiling below. They had had enough of trying to fix it themselves. To say this couple was leery of hiring another renovator was an understatement. But they also knew it was time to fix this problem and decided to update their Master Bathroom while they were at it. Our initial plan included minimal demolition by re-organizing the walls between the 2 Bathrooms and keeping the existing plumbing rough-ins in place, while updating the fixtures. However, unwelcome surprises are sometimes inevitable in renovations. Even though we conducted a thorough investigation during the planning stage, we were faced with plumbing in the Shared Bathroom that was not done correctly and may even have been illegal. Because of this, relocating the rough-ins in the Shared Bathroom were necessary after all, which then meant re-planning the walls in between the 2 Bathrooms. These are exactly the kinds of problems we love to solve. Why? Because we know that we’re not just fixing the physical problems that can be seen; we know we are also restoring this family’s faith in quality craftsmanship and good service, and that it’s possible to enjoy the renovation process. This is why we don’t vary from our tried and true Renovating the Sosna Way™ process. Because it works. For everyone. For the Masons, we ended up renovating two bathrooms and completing a number of smaller projects that were causing them great pain to find a renovator for. At the end of the day, we have another happy client. The Masons have two new bathrooms that better fit their life stage and style, and the “Honey-Do” list is empty! When you and your home are ready for an upgrade, we're the Renovator You Can Count On™. It's our promise. Contact us to get started!

Kitchen - contemporary kitchen idea in Salt Lake City

The existing house was narrow, so it was a challenge to lay out the house in a way that felt functional and generous. We were creative in solving these spatial problems, making the bathroom more of a linear layout. The double vanity spans the width of the bathroom while the shower and toilet are behind the camera.

Check out this beautiful kitchen remodeling project we just completed in Hollywood, FL. The owners had a problem with a water leak, and they had to remove all of the lower cabinets. They went with the Catalina door from Hardware Resources in snow white and a black granite countertop. To finish the new look, we also made a table with columns that matches the new cabinets and added a slab of the same black granite top.

The resident of this 1904 classic Montford home has owned it for more than 30 years. Behind the walls and under the floors of the kitchen and bathroom were a myriad problem areas that needed attention. Hanging new cabinets on walls and from ceilings that may have been plumb a hundred years ago is par for the course. Our project manager even fabricated a special switch plate from wood that was required for an awkward spot in the bathroom. LED can lights and hand-blown glass pendants brighten the kitchen. Intricate tile work and massive glass sliding shower doors bring the bathroom up to date.

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.
