This home renovation story begins with John and Barb, a fabulous couple looking to remodel their 15-year old winter home in Bonita Bay, Bonita Springs, Florida. Living in the home only part-time, spending their summers in Oconomowac, Wisconsin, John and Barb had an idea of what they wanted, but didn’t know how to bring it to fruition. They also needed someone who they could trust to renovate their home while they were away in Wisconsin. Their vision for their home started with a new kitchen, family room and wet bar. Enjoying their time outdoors and on their lanai, they also envisioned improving their indoor-outdoor living space. With the help of Progressive Design Build, this couple’s home was designed and completed remodeled while they were away, transforming the common area of their home into a more user friendly, functional space. Emphasis was placed on the kitchen and the open floor plan. New tile flooring was installed throughout the space, with all new painting that matched the homeowner’s style and taste. A new Anderson door was also installed from the kitchen to the outdoor living space, replacing heavy sliding glass doors and making access to the lanai easier and more functional.

With a kitchen that felt small, cramped and uninviting, our Naples client wanted to remove the bulky island range hood that blocked the view of her living room. Solving this issue, Progressive Design Build installed a white Zephyr Lux hood that was flush with the soffit to open up the space. Adding visual interest and functional use, two modern glass pendants were installed on either side of the range hood above the two-tier bartop. We also added open shelving to the right of the oven with a custom built-in coffee station below. For functional storage, a pantry was designed into the space with roll-out shelving. Additional features of this kitchen remodel included Dura Supreme kitchen cabinets, a 3×6 Tesoro Flower Glass subway tile backsplash, and Pompeii Milky Way Quartz countertops. Last but not least, this kitchen received all new high-end appliances including a plumbed combi-steam oven by Miele and a matching oven and an induction cooktop.

After putting in a new swimming pool, our client’s main goal was to create a functional outdoor living space that would accommodate friends and family and satisfy their need for entertaining large groups of people. Progressive Design Build designed a solution that started with a large covered patio and seating area. The renovation focused on building a grilling station that included a curved granite countertop with an area for seating at the end of the cabinet run; and a large grill and hood vent, which allowed for an adequate cooking surface area to accommodate any occasion. We matched the existing brick pavers from an existing area of the home to create a cohesive look and maintain the rustic feel of the backyard. The cabinets were built out of Cypress and stained to match the finish of the newly installed wood patio ceiling. We were also able to supply and install a new fire pit so this family could enjoy the beautiful Florida sunsets with friends and family—the ones we Southwest Florida residents have the privilege of experiencing and enjoying throughout the year.

The cabinets were transformed from a dark, dated brown stain to a fresh, lighter white painted cabinet, and topped with beautiful quartzite countertops. The once raised bar top was changed to a one-level counter, opening up space, and allowed us to provide a much needed, functional prep space for Katie to sit comfortably in the center island. Progressive transformed the existing desk area to a full height base of cabinets, providing ample storage—a luxury this couple didn’t have in their old kitchen. And, Katie’s favorite part of the whole remodel? The fabulous wide built-in pantry with useful hanging racks on the doors.

In the heart of the desirable neighborhood of Bonita Bay, these condo owners were ready to remodel their entire home with sophisticated custom cabinetry, elegant finishes, and high-end appliances. They contacted the design-build professionals at Progressive Design Build to come up with a design plan that worked within their budget. As is often the case with condo remodels in Southwest Florida, we also needed to fulfill our client’s needs by renovating within the home’s existing footprint.

It was in 2012 when Mike Spreckelmeier first met Roy and Patti. They had been despondent after meeting with multiple contractors in an attempt to start their kitchen remodel. The contractors lacked follow through, came tardy to meetings and even failed to show up at others. Determined to leave nothing to chance in the pursuit of their dream, Roy and Patti followed up on a recommendation after overhearing a conversation that was taking place while they were standing in a gallingly long line waiting to cast a vote on Election Day. With a solid recommendation to pursue, Roy and Patti contacted Progressive Design Build. The rest is history. Mike showed up on time. For a small retainer, he provided preliminary sketches, ideas for maximizing space and storage, and solutions for a sunken family room that created a safety hazard and a problem with traffic flow. More importantly, he designed the project to the homeowners’ budget. Progressive Design Build shot some different elevations and designed a plan to raise the floor, allowing all finished floors to be on the same level. Upon completion, the kitchen was stunning. Features included LED backlit fire glass shelving, white recessed panel cabinets, a subway tile backsplash, Granite countertop, integrated refrigerator, undermount sink, and more. The living room was designed with complimentary finishes and included a natural stone fireplace wall with open cabinets flanked on both sides. The 12’ fireplace was made with a floor-to-ceiling white pebble finish. This Bonita Bay project completed on time and on budget—allowing this fabulous family a wonderful opportunity to create lasting memories for many years to come.

Challenge: When our clients decided to do a major renovation on their home, they were looking for a more modern, transitional design with additional cabinetry for storage, new appliances and hardwood flooring. They also wanted to create an open, more cohesive kitchen/dining/living area. The existing kitchen had dated finishes, a non-functional layout and was closed off from the living area by a large partition wall. Solution: To ensure a smooth renovation process, a lot of time and effort went into the planning phase. The existing hardwood floors throughout the home were removed in certain areas and laced in with new material. Once installed, all floors were sanded and multi-coated with tint and sealer to achieve a weathered look. All rooms were also repainted to complement the newly remodeled kitchen/dining/living area and the refinished wood floors. The kitchen was modernized and opened up to give the family a more functional living space. It was designed with white Dura Supreme cabinetry and Weathered Oak finished floors, creating a sophisticated contrast and an open, airy feel. By adding a large center kitchen island we created a comfortable sitting area for people to gather while the family entertained or cooked. The refrigerator was disguised using custom cabinet appliance panels, effectively integrating it with the cabinetry wall for a unified look. In the master bathroom, Progressive Design Build added a curbless, walk-in shower with a half-inch clear glass partition, separating it from the new undermount tub and Quartz tub deck. White Dura Supreme cabinetry was paired with Quartz countertops, and two towers were added for additional storage. A honed marble accent band was used throughout the room to tie it all together. Results: The clients were very pleased with the new layout of the kitchen/dining/living area and the master bathroom, particularly all of the final finishes that completed the look and feel they were looking for.

Progressive Design Build began designing a solution that included removing the dated archways, columns, and dark faux finishes. The kitchen cabinets were replaced with white decorative shaker style cabinets with recessed panels, effectively lightening up the room and bringing it up to date. The stacked cabinets were designed with glass-paneled doors and in-cabinet lighting perfect for highlighting kitchen collectibles. A simple yet stunning white subway tile backsplash created the clean, contemporary look our clients were looking for.
