If you have decided to finish or remodel your basement, you are in for a treat. Remodeling a Yakima basement offers almost unlimited opportunity to add living space for your family. It will also increase the value of your home when you sell it. Finding basement remodeling ideas can be fairly easy using magazines and the internet. The space you create can be used for many things. Some of the most popular transformations would be: a space for your children to play, entertaining business associates, family and friends, or perhaps another bedroom addition. We believe that a well-designed basement should accommodate whatever the homeowner's needs are.

Notice how the white oak wood grain flows continuously across the door fronts. Nearly every other custom cabinetmaker will not go to this much trouble. Guess what this means: if I make a mistake or damage one during manufacture, I have to replace a whole batch. Ask me how I know this :(

This Denver Area home had composite wood siding that had been damaged by hail and was beginning to swell and rot. We installed James Hardie ColorPlus HardiePlank lap siding in Monterey Taupe, staggered edge HardieShingle shake siding in Evening Blue, and Arctic White HardieTrim.

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

This project has been very special to work on as the clients went through the unfortunate flooding of their house and most of the furnishings were damaged by water. Trying to help this family rebuild and return into their sweet home has been our top priority. We had a pleasure to replaced all damaged window coverings and install a new beautiful drapes that not only added function but framed the windows and softened the entire space. We've selected a linen blend fabric to complement the relaxed and elegant feel of the house. The same fabric was used on all rooms including living/breakfast area, dining room and master bedroom. A combination of different textures and natural tones gave this modern farmhouse a very welcoming and sophisticated feel. It's been a pleasure to see this family moving back to their gorgeous home.

One of your chief concerns as a homeowner is protecting your property, and water damage is one of the biggest threats to your property that there is. That’s one of the reasons that your roofing is so important, and it’s why it’s important that your gutters are clean, perfectly installed, and in excellent condition.

Our Grand Rapids gutter specialists can make sure that your gutter system is always in the best condition possible.

Give us a call today if you need an installation of Grand Rapids gutters, gutter cleaning, or if you need gutter protection.

This picture illustrates the color choice. The owners chose a light gray which perfectly matches the home’s siding. This works to blend the guttering in with the siding while also acting as a nice contrast to the brickwork. The gutter is designed to keep rainwater away from the siding, thus preventing rainwater runoff damage to surfaces.

Removal of the existing shower and shower glass enclosure, toilet, vanity, and vanity faucet. Demolition also included the removal of the existing bathroom flooring, bedroom carpet, and damaged ceiling materials. All demolition work was completed carefully and efficiently to prepare the affected areas for the upcoming renovation, repairs, and installation phases.

At the beginning of the project, we identified issues with the existing subfloor and a damaged plumbing line. Our team addressed these underlying problems by repairing the plumbing system and replacing the affected subfloor areas to create a safe, stable, and properly prepared foundation for the bathroom renovation.

For this recent garage door project in Garnet Valley, the homeowner wanted to replace heavily damaged, standard white garage doors with something that would bring warmth, character, and a more custom look to the home’s exterior (not to mention enhanced safety with a functional, modern door). To create that transformation, we installed beautiful Clopay Bridgeport™ Inlay garage doors in a rich Walnut Oak finish. The carriage-house style design, combined with decorative windows and hardware, gave the garage a completely new presence while complementing the home’s existing siding and trim. Beyond the visual upgrade, these new garage doors offer the durability, reliability, and smooth performance homeowners expect from a modern Clopay system.

Keeping the same brick, these homeowners gave it new life by painting it a neutral gray for future use and longevity. New siding, fresh trim, and a modern coat of paint on the existing brick. The result is a cohesive, contemporary exterior that blends style, durability, and thoughtful design — turning what could have been a setback into a stunning transformation.
