Concrete Patio & Under-Deck Storage Upgrade Removed severely cracked and failing concrete and installed a new reinforced concrete slab beneath the elevated deck to create a clean, functional storage area. The project also included a concrete retaining wall beneath the staircase to help manage water runoff and prevent erosion around the new slab. The completed installation transformed an unusable space into a durable, attractive extension of the property while improving drainage, accessibility, and long-term performance.

Family room library - large modern open concept laminate floor and multicolored floor family room library idea in Los Angeles with white walls

This West Seattle home received a full roof replacement in October, upgrading to CertainTeed Landmark PRO shingles in Moire Black, one of the most popular colors for its clean, modern look. The 1,900 sq. ft. roof featured an easy 6/12 pitch, and the homeowner opted to enhance long-term performance with a ridge vent system and Ice & Water Shield in the valleys for added protection. The result is a durable, high-quality roofing system designed to withstand the Pacific Northwest climate while elevating the home’s overall curb appeal.

Our team completed this multi-phase installation while residents remained in place, maintaining clear communication with property management and the HOA throughout. The result: enhanced curb appeal, improved weather protection, and long-term value for the entire community backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty.

We gave this rather dated farmhouse some dramatic upgrades that brought together the feminine with the masculine, combining rustic wood with softer elements. In terms of style her tastes leaned toward traditional and elegant and his toward the rustic and outdoorsy. The result was the perfect fit for this family of 4 plus 2 dogs and their very special farmhouse in Ipswich, MA. Character details create a visual statement, showcasing the melding of both rustic and traditional elements without too much formality. The new master suite is one of the most potent examples of the blending of styles. The bath, with white carrara honed marble countertops and backsplash, beaded wainscoting, matching pale green vanities with make-up table offset by the black center cabinet expand function of the space exquisitely while the salvaged rustic beams create an eye-catching contrast that picks up on the earthy tones of the wood. The luxurious walk-in shower drenched in white carrara floor and wall tile replaced the obsolete Jacuzzi tub. Wardrobe care and organization is a joy in the massive walk-in closet complete with custom gliding library ladder to access the additional storage above. The space serves double duty as a peaceful laundry room complete with roll-out ironing center. The cozy reading nook now graces the bay-window-with-a-view and storage abounds with a surplus of built-ins including bookcases and in-home entertainment center. You can’t help but feel pampered the moment you step into this ensuite. The pantry, with its painted barn door, slate floor, custom shelving and black walnut countertop provide much needed storage designed to fit the family’s needs precisely, including a pull out bin for dog food. During this phase of the project, the powder room was relocated and treated to a reclaimed wood vanity with reclaimed white oak countertop along with custom vessel soapstone sink and wide board paneling. Design elements effectively married rustic and traditional styles and the home now has the character to match the country setting and the improved layout and storage the family so desperately needed.
