This project was done for a professional couple who had two children and a grandchild move back home due to the Pandemic. We helped the family add over 600 SF to their living space that they desperately needed.
The home is a brick home built in the 1980s. The area we had to work with was an atrium (We don’t see many of those these days!) and a garage that would be closed in.
They needed an additional room & storage space including a mechanical room for the AC that would service this area and expanded office space.
The primary difficulties were making the project not look like a closed garage and reframing the roof that had a valley that terminated at the atrium.
We were able to raise + level the floor of the garage so that it was equal to the rest of the home. We also matched windows put into the garage to other windows on the front of the house creating design continuity.
Often when we do garage conversions, we uncouple the drive way from the house to avoid the closed in garage appearance. Unfortunately, on this project that was not possible because of the need for maximum parking. But with the design consistency, the conversion appears seamless with the house.
The roof framing turned out to be more problematic than we had anticipated because the garage roof had been created with trusses whereas the rest of the roof had been traditionally framed. That combined with the open atrium falling in the roof valley made the infill framing a challenge. Ultimately, we were able to fill in the roof over the atrium so that it looks like it was always there.
Where there had once been a garage door, there was now a bedroom wall with two large windows. In addition to the two large windows, light-colored paint and flooring also contributed to the brightness of the new space. The bedroom has a walk-in closet with built-in shelving.
On the other side, we created a large storage space for the family to use since they no longer have their garage for storage.

A home worthy of Bebb & Gould, this Tudor now sings in concert with its gorgeous PNW landscape to the delight of its green thumbed homeowners. The renovation required a full gut of its interior and a significant amount of roof reframing, vaulting its dining room to Lutyens like splendor, sifting in light to the existing living room with the addition of 6 dormers, and modifying the roof line to accommodate an enviable walk in closet for the primary suite. Additionally, reworked stucco, all new double paned wood & leaded glass windows & doors, and timberframing at the back porches and dining room seamlessly deliver a better “old” with the new. Craftsmanship is celebrated in the smallest details— appropriately understated millwork profiles, all new paneling at the family room with a cast stone fireplace, a spacious new kitchen, and handmade tile at the bathrooms. Yet where needed, modernity pops in the unexpected— such as the handpainted wallpaper and sculptural soapstone sink in the powder room.

New Kitchen update 2016. Soffit size was decreased to allow a 42" tall wall cabinet with cornice trim. New 4" LED recessed lighting and new hanging pendants. Reframed existing window opening to allow for a larger casement style window. New under cabinet lighting and inside cabinet lighting. Granite counters with stone backsplash. Larger vent hood with exterior, roof mounted exhaust motor. New Mahogany hardwood floors throughout.

This bathroom featured a bathroom divided into two areas, a vanity area and a shower/ toilet room. We we replaced an acrylic shower surround with a custom tile shower. We found a surprise on the exterior wall when we removed the acrylic surround.... termite damage. There were sections of the wall that were literally sawdust! We had to remove the exterior siding and sheathing, reframe the wall and window and install new sheathing and siding before we could move on with the shower.
The custom tile shower is a twist on a classic subway tile. We used larger 8" x 20" tiles for the shower wall instead the traditional 3" x 6" size. We completed the shower with a marble bench, recessed niches and a rain head style shower head with a handheld shower wand.
We carried the wall tile down the exterior wall to create an accent wall in the toilet area.

This client’s vision for their kitchen/hearth room remodel was to create a harmonious space for gathering and socializing with family and friends. Without the before and after photos, you would scarcely believe this was the same home.

The client was interested in new appliance technology, cabinetry to the ceiling, and an Island large enough to seat 3. They also wanted a built-in breakfast nook, improved pantry space, more functional storage on either side of their fireplace, and a built-in appearance for the TV above the mantel. The original built-in desk was not used, and they preferred for that space to serve as a small bar area with refrigeration and a place to store their printer. We designed several plans for the space before selecting the final layout.
The new design required the removal of the soffit over the old sink, as well as a small wall beside the old refrigerator. The wall beside the stairwell had to be shortened 13 inches and a new beam installed to carry the load of the home’s 2nd story to gain enough space for the large central island. The existing closet pantry walls were also reconfigured as per the new plan.
This serves as a great reminder that Dimensions In Wood is much more than just custom cabinets.
Central to the entire custom kitchen is an 8-foot Walnut island. The huge island, which comfortably seats three, is topped with Essenza Blue quartzite. The stone’s natural striations are beautiful. Quartzite is harder than granite, and less likely to stain than other stones because of its density. The couple had to look through multiple slabs to find a piece they LOVED. The island’s custom Walnut cabinetry, built to resemble a piece of custom furniture, was stained Bronzed Walnut by Sherwin Williams.
The 4-foot Galley Workstation in the island, handles all the kitchen’s prep, serving, and cleanup needs. The Galley’s culinary tools include an upper tier cutting board, upper tier drying rack, 2 lower tier platforms, 11″ colander with non-slip handles, and 11” mixing bowl with lid and non-slip bottom. Learn more about the amazing Galley Workstation here. A Waterstone gantry faucet in a pewter finish combines a pull-down sprayer for maximum mobility and a articulated swivel spout. A water tap with reverse osmosis filter provides the highest quality drinking water. To keep a clean and sleek counter we installed a raised air switch for the garbage disposal and integrated soap dispenser. The island also houses the Thermador Sapphire 7-Program Dishwasher with a hidden touch control panel and a custom Walnut wood front. The cabinetry under the Galley Workstation features a trash roll out, as well as storage for the culinary tools.
Shortening the stairwell wall, and reframing around the stairs, which included shortening the handrail, also made room for a bi-fold door walk-in pantry with extra roll out storage and space for a small microwave. Above the panty doors is a remote controlled, electric motor powered, lift up cabinet door which hides a flat screen TV, used while the family is cooking.
To the right of the walk-in pantry is cold food storage. The Thermador, 30-inch Freedom Collection refrigerator and 24-inch built-in freezer column with internal ice maker are covered with matching cabinetry fronts. An open display space was designed above the units, creating an aesthetically beautiful wall. To the right of the refrigerator & freezer columns is a tall cabinet designed for the built-in Thermador steam and convection oven. The convention steam oven is a relatively new technology for homes, but its versatility and food quality is amazing. To the right of this is a pull-out appliance pantry which provides easy access and storage for a stand mixer, blender, and any other appliance you do not want to clutter the counter.
The most visible wall of the kitchen features the 36-inch Thermador Professional Series Harmony Gas Range with Griddle. Between the range and custom designed wood hood, a framed mosaic tile accent in the backsplash, creates a focal point. To clear the air, the Professional Series Thermador 42-inch ventilation insert provides excellent exhaust capabilities, as well as providing multi-level, vivid LED lights for beautiful illumination.
The wall cabinetry symmetrically flanks the custom hood, utilizing deeper wall cabinetry on each end, allowing for storage of oversized dishware. The base cabinetry on this wall is made up of drawers, except for the corner, which is a Kesseböhmer LeMans II. This specially designed shelf system allows ease of access in underutilized blind corners. The dual action articulation system with soft close mechanism ensures a smooth open and close.
Rounding the corner to the outside wall, the base cabinetry was built to a narrower depth, providing additional space for the island, as well as easier access to the new larger pass-thru window which serves the screen porch. The client selected Black Vermont granite countertops with an ogee edge to contrast the Linen White painted cabinetry.
The door to the screen porch was replaced with a Marvin Exterior Door with a raised panel at the bottom of the 3⁄4 glass door.
Marvin Windows replaced the other windows in the space increasing the energy efficiency and value of the home. To establish the breakfast nook, a bench with drawers and an upholstered seat was built into the bay area of the room.
Custom bookshelves were built with open shelves, cabinet doors, and drawers on either side of the fireplace. A new stone hearth and fireplace surround were installed. Above the existing mantel we built a recessed space for the flat screen television hiding all wiring inside the walls for a completely clean look.
The space that was once a desk was transformed into a bar area. The glass shelves and glass cabinet front liquor cabinet stand out. But this bar area has hidden secrets. Tucked beneath the black granite is a Thermador under-counter double drawer refrigerator with matching wood front panels. They blend in perfectly with the cabinets. A wireless printer is easily accessed on a slide out drawer. Plus, what looks like merely wooden panels on the wall are concealing recessed storage for more bottles and glasses!
Overhead recessed lighting and speaker system provide illumination and entertainment through the entire space.
This luxury home had original, solid oak flooring through most of the first floor which the homeowner obviously wanted to keep but were in desperate need of repair and refinishing. Our master craftsmen wove in new wood flooring to match the old where needed, particularly where walls had been changed and where the floor was damaged. We sanded the floors, smoothing away years of wear and tear. The entire wood floor was then uniformly stained, making it impossible to differentiate where any repairs were made.

The client’s original kitchen dated back to the 1960s–70s and was ready for a full renovation. Their vision included new cabinetry, appliances, countertops, and flooring. Along with those goals they wanted to open up and brighten the space by reframing the doorway for a more inviting entry.

In a wonderful Tudor 30’s home there was a tiny kitchen, a tiny laundry and a tiny breakfast nook enclosed by walls. We removed all the walls and reframed the load bearing beams to convert these tiny little spaces into one large kitchen with many windows for a bright feeling, another wall was removed to connect the kitchen space to the dining and living room creating a great semi-open space.
Classical shaker cabinets with a pewter accent island combined with the warmth of the bamboo flooring and the wooded floating shelves made this kitchen feel like it was always there.
Modern gold pulls, plumbing fixtures and pendant light combined with the Viking range give this kitchen a high end feeling.

We completely transformed this bathroom by starting from scratch, ripping it down to the studs and gutting every inch of the space. The process involved redoing the electrical and plumbing systems to ensure everything was up to modern standards. Several walls were reframed to accommodate the new layout and design, ensuring both functionality and flow. With the client's budget in mind, we carefully planned every detail of the design, creating a sleek, modern bathroom that would stand the test of time. The tile work was executed with absolute precision, creating a flawless finish that added both style and sophistication. One of the standout features was re-glazing the original 1969 cast iron bathtub, giving it a fresh, new look while preserving its vintage charm. The end result was a beautifully renovated bathroom that met all of the client’s needs while respecting both their vision and budget.

The Regal Renovate team begins construction on a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace feature in this El Paso home. The original flat wall is being reframed to house a new fireplace insert and custom built-in design, with scaffolding and ladders in place for the tall, vaulted space. This stage shows the careful planning and craftsmanship that go into creating a stunning focal point that will transform the entire living area.

The owners of this beautiful 1908 NE Portland home wanted to breathe new life into their unfinished basement and dysfunctional main-floor bathroom and mudroom. Our goal was to create comfortable and practical spaces, while staying true to the preferences of the homeowners and age of the home.
The existing half bathroom and mudroom were situated in what was originally an enclosed back porch. The homeowners wanted to create a full bathroom on the main floor, along with a functional mudroom off the back entrance. Our team completely gutted the space, reframed the walls, leveled the flooring, and installed upgraded amenities, including a solid surface shower, custom cabinetry, blue tile and marmoleum flooring, and Marvin wood windows.
In the basement, we created a laundry room, designated workshop and utility space, and a comfortable family area to shoot pool. The renovated spaces are now up-to-code with insulated and finished walls, heating & cooling, epoxy flooring, and refurbished windows.
The newly remodeled spaces achieve the homeowner's desire for function, comfort, and to preserve the unique quality & character of their 1908 residence.

Basement Remodel & Custom Built-Ins
This project involved a complete basement renovation, transforming a previously unfinished and outdated space into a clean, functional lower-level living area with custom storage solutions.
The project began with a full gut of the existing space, allowing us to reframe areas and rebuild the layout to better suit the homeowner’s needs.
Key elements of the renovation included:
• New framing and drywall throughout the basement
• Installation of durable laminate flooring
• New ceiling system with recessed lighting
• Custom trim and finish carpentry
• Installation of new stair treads and refinished staircase
• Construction of a new framed closet with door installation
• Custom built-in shelving units and storage cabinets
• Fabricated custom access panels to maintain access to utilities while blending seamlessly with the finished space
• Full interior painting and finishing
One of the highlights of this project was the custom-built wall shelving system, designed to maximize storage while maintaining a clean, built-in appearance. The project also required custom carpentry solutions for access panels and built-ins, ensuring mechanical areas remain accessible without compromising the finished look.
The completed basement now offers organized storage, improved functionality, and a fully finished appearance, turning what was once an unfinished utility space into a polished extension of the home.

What was supposed to be a tile repair and new window turned into reframing a wall, new insulation, and doing double the amount of tile. Customer's prior tile work was not waterproofed and there were no tiles along the inside of the window. It did not take long for water to get in and destroy everything. We added a new window, repainted the walls and ceiling, framed a new portion of the wall in place, insulation, replaced some of the original tiles, and did a new accent wall and window tile surround.

Small bathroom renovation where we gutted the entire thing and redid it from the ground up. We reconfigured the layout as well. This bathroom was for a rental so the client wanted it to be aesthetically pleasing and durable. We installed waterproof LVP as well as a water-saving toilet. The electrical was re-done (as we are licensed electricians as well), the plumbing was re-routed, and the wall you see in the photo was reframed. Overall, it turned out great!

To maximize storage space when we reframed the walls we framed for a built in as deep as the fireplace chase .Giving us more than enough room for shelves to hold towels and toiletries.

Clean, white, and coastal-styled kitchen with simple semi-custom cabinets and Carrara Venato quatz countertops. Countertops included demi-bullnose edges on the surround and a more decorative detail of short ogee on the island. Refinished floors and reframed first floor to open the kitchen into the living room. Complete new custom pantry with highlighted class shelves and a one-stop-shop for drinks. Blanco concrete gray undermount sink with a Signature Hardware polished nickel sink faucet to match the rest of the polished nickel accents. Custom hood with a 36" thermador range. Brand new powder room and 9 foot sliders to bring as much sunlight as possible into the first floor!

We had the pleasure to design and execute this wonderful project for a couple in Sherman Oaks.
Client was in need of a 4th bedroom and a brighter bigger living space.
We removed and reframed a 30' load bearing wall to unite the living room with the dining room and sitting area into 1 great room, we opened a 17' opening to the back yard to allow natural light to brighten the space and the greatest trick was relocating the kitchen from an enclosed space to the new great room and turning the old kitchen space into the 4th bedroom the client requested.
Notice how the warmth of the European oak floors interact with the more modern blue island and the yellow barstools.
The large island that can seat 8 people acts as a superb work space and an unofficial dining area.
All custom solid wood cabinets and the high end appliance complete the look of this new magnificent and warm space for the family to enjoy.

Remodeling an existing 1940s basement is a challenging! We started off with reframing and rough-in to open up the living space, to create a new wine cellar room, and bump-out for the new gas fireplace. The drywall was given a Level 5 smooth finish to provide a modern aesthetic. We then installed all the finishes from the brick fireplace and cellar floor, to the built-in cabinets and custom wine cellar racks. This project turned out amazing!
