Basement Refresh & Moisture-Resistant Upgrade
This basement was showing signs of failing paint and moisture wear, so we tackled it the right way — no shortcuts.
✔️ Scraped and removed failing paint
✔️ Thorough TSP wash for proper surface prep
✔️ Repainted masonry walls with Sherwin-Williams Loxon (designed for basement and masonry conditions)
✔️ Removed old utility sink and installed a new, clean utility sink
The result is a brighter, cleaner, and more durable basement space built to hold up long term.

For this complete yard renovation in the Weddington/Matthews area, our team executed a total lawn transformation featuring top-tier Zeon Zoysia sod—a premium, fine-bladed grass variety chosen for its exceptional shade tolerance and carpet-like density. To ensure long-term health and flawless root establishment, we first tackled proper site preparation by excavating and hauling away roughly 7 cubic yards of poor, sandy soil left behind by a previous installer. Once the sub-base was correctly graded, enriched, and prepped, we installed 36 pallets of fresh sod to create a vibrant, seamless lawn.
To guarantee the new lawn would thrive, our technicians carefully calibrated the property's irrigation system, setting zone run-times and coverage angles for optimal moisture distribution without overwatering. The before-and-after contrast highlights the value of proper site prep and high-quality materials, taking a bare, uneven dirt lot and turning it into a plush, golf-course-quality front lawn. At Pine Valley Turf Management, we pride ourselves on delivering detailed turf transformations that elevate property value and leave our clients thrilled with the results.

“Proper pH Pools (E. Hampton) created a perfect space for us to add the new hot tub,” says Bill Renter, owner of Best Hot Tubs. “They came back after we installed it and finished the carpentry around it. It’s a beautiful mahogany deck which we coordinated with the hot tub’s cabinet. The access panel door they crafted is removable, so it’s easy to take out the framing and make any maintenance required.” www.besthottubs.com

This East Troy home on Booth Lake had a few drainage issues that needed to be resolved, but one thing was clear, the homeowners knew with the proper design features, their property had amazing potential to be a fixture on the lake.
Starting with a redesign of the backyard, including retaining walls and other drainage features, the home was then ready for a radical facelift. We redesigned the entry of the home with a timber frame portico/entryway. The entire portico was built with the old-world artistry of a mortise and tenon framing method. We also designed and installed a new deck and patio facing the lake, installed an integrated driveway and sidewalk system throughout the property and added a splash of evening effects with some beautiful architectural lighting around the house.
A Timber Tech deck with Radiance cable rail system was added off the side of the house to increase lake viewing opportunities and a beautiful stamped concrete patio was installed at the lower level of the house for additional lounging.
Lastly, the original detached garage was razed and rebuilt with a new design that not only suits our client’s needs, but is designed to complement the home’s new look. The garage was built with trusses to create the tongue and groove wood cathedral ceiling and the storage area to the front of the garage. The secondary doors on the lakeside of the garage were installed to allow our client to drive his golf cart along the crushed granite pathways and to provide a stunning view of Booth Lake from the multi-purpose garage.

Embarking on a garage remodeling project is a transformative endeavor that can significantly enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of the space.
By investing in tailored storage solutions such as cabinets, wall-mounted organizers, and overhead racks, one can efficiently declutter the area and create a more organized storage system. Flooring upgrades, such as epoxy coatings or durable tiles, not only improve the garage's appearance but also provide a resilient surface.
Adding custom workbenches or tool storage solutions contributes to a more efficient and user-friendly workspace. Additionally, incorporating proper lighting and ventilation ensures a well-lit and comfortable environment.
