This kitchen project is in a newer build home (2007). The family liked everything about the space except for the island layout and location. Both ends of it were pinch points which made it cumbersome for multiple people to be in the space at a time. They liked the granite countertops but the one on the island was damaged and needed to be replaced to accommodate the new island configuration. Due to this, it made sense to replace all the countertops with quartz. The perimeter cabinets were in good shape but were a dark color which made the space dark and uninviting. We solved this by painting them a bright green/blue color with a two-part water-based paint. We added a couple of other cabinets in the adjacent spaces to provide them with more needed storage which did not impact the kitchen space. We relocated the existing 3 recessed lights over the island which saved them from the landfill. We replaced the old under cabinet fluorescent light fixtures with new energy efficient LED channel fixtures that provide much better counter task lighting. We painted both the ceiling and walls to freshen up the space. As you can see, we were able to solve this family’s kitchen problems in both an environmentally and budget conscious way with creative solutions.

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.

Way back in the late 1970s, the owners of an 1894 Victorian in Somerville hired Charlie Allen Renovations to renovate and restore their home, a landmark property that had been divided into apartments and lost some of its period charm. This was a memorable project and it was a shock when the homeowners called in December 2014 to let us know that their home had been badly damaged by a fire. They asked if we could once again restore it to its original prominence. This time nearly every original element of the home needed to be restored or rebuilt. We began the process by carefully removing all original moulding and paneling, which was then catalogued, thoroughly cleaned, and stored away. Belfor, a property restoration firm, was hired to remove soot and smoky odors, which required opening the walls and then rebuilding them. Numerous decorative elements throughout the home, including an intricate stained glass window in the dining room, had been too badly damaged to be restored; these were carefully remade by both our talented team and by an exceptional group of project partners, to match their original design. All of the windows in the house had to be replaced, and all of its floors needed to be refinished. Tile hearth surrounding the dining room fireplace and the living room fireplace mantel and surround were removed, cleaned, and replaced. The homeowners also took the opportunity to have some long-desired renovations accomplished, including remodeling the outdated kitchen, which now features an expansive island, pantry closet, new cork flooring, backsplash, and greenhouse window. Today, the house is fully both meticulously restored and remodeled, and the owners are happily back home. At its conclusion, the project was awarded with the Somerville Historic Preservation Commission’s 2017 Directors Award and a 2018 Contractor of the Year Gold Award. Along with Belfor, additional project partners include Jackson Schillaci Woodworking, master finisher Wayne Towle, and Jim Anderson Stained Glass. Photo by Shelly Harrison Photography

Homeowners chose to replace their 40-year-old rotting redwood deck with a new TimberTech deck from Braun Building Center! Mr. and Mrs. B chose a textured wood-grain composite decking and railing with a true wood-like color and finish to blend with their house. They stressed it had to be low maintenance – no more sanding, staining and sealing! Big plus for them, too, was TimberTech's 30 year Fade & Stain Warranty, and its resistance to mold, mildew, scratches and moisture damage. TimberTech by AZEK Building Products. All construction was done by Backhaus Builders of Manitowoc.

This picture shows two key factors of gutter and downspout installation. The new guttering is positioned so it overhangs the brick walls. This means rainwater is carried away from the walls, preventing possible damage to the brickwork and window frames. Notice the position and angle of the downspout. It doesn’t have a boot for water collection. This downspout has been designed and installed at an angle. This cleverly moves the rainwater down the sloped driveway where it can flow down into the street and into the town’s stormwater drain.

For this kitchen remodel, the homeowner had new countertops and didn’t want to risk damaging them. Cabinet refacing was the perfect solution for them. They went with the shaker bevel door in Stratus Super Matte White 3D Laminate. We then accented the upper cabinets with the Windsor crown molding while the lower cabinets were done with a decorative base molding. We also replaced all the existing drawers with dovetail constructed solid wood drawers with under mounted drawer glides. To brighten up the kitchen even more, we added under cabinet lighting. Now this kitchen has the new look the homeowners were dreaming of.

The sliding closet doors were damaged when the property was purchased. With the intention of it being a vacation rental, the decision was made to forgo replacing the doors and create another seating area for couples who may be traveling together and wanting more privacy, instead. We painted the closet a dark gray, added a hanging sconce that we'd repurposed from a hurricane, and introduced two printed club chairs to create a private seating area. Because this room gets so much light, we added a lot of drought tolerant plants that could handle not having daily care.

This Bailey, Colorado mountain home underwent a full exterior upgrade after the original cedar siding began deteriorating from years of wind, moisture, and pest damage. The homeowner wanted a more durable, low-maintenance solution while modernizing the home’s appearance.

The result is a refreshed mountain-style exterior built to withstand Colorado’s harsh climate while dramatically improving curb appeal.
