Restoration repaints require a high level of skill to execute. This Stucco Home in Sewickley, Pennsylvania was in dire need of attention. It had been well maintained but time still had caught up to it some. The House Hues Team used a proven process that involved a scrape back, bonding agent on raw concrete, multiple coats of a building primer and two coats of a high quality finish to make sure the texture variation disappeared. We kept many classic features intact like Gloss hand brushed oil doors and shutters. Giving this beautiful property a new lease on life

Custom kitchens and fine woodworking are built or designed according to a client's specifications. A client has complete control over the appliances, fixtures, finishes, countertops, and the materials used in the cabinetry including the required features, size, and type of wood and finish.

This 1000 sq. ft. one-bedroom apartment is located in a pre-war building on the Upper West Side. The owner's request was to design a space where every corner can be utilized. The project was an exciting challenge and required careful planning. The apartment contains multiple customized features like a wall developed as closet space and a bedroom divider and a hidden kitchen. It is a common space to the naked eye, but the more details are revealed as you move throughout the rooms. Featured brands include: Dornbracht fixtures, Flos lighting, Design-Apart millwork, and Carrera marble.

Although the Kids Bathroom was reduced in size by a few feet to add additional space in the Master Bathroom, you would never suspect it! Because of the new layout and design selections, it now feels even larger than before. We chose light colors for the walls, flooring, cabinetry, and tiles, as well as a large mirror to reflect more light. A custom linen closet with pull-out drawers and frosted glass elevates the design while remaining functional for this family. For a space created to work for a teenage boy, teen girl, and pre-teen girl, we showcase that you don’t need to sacrifice great design for functionality!

This was a full-gut kitchen renovation that included removing a load bearing wall to expand into an adjacent room.

Paul came to us with a very tight site a couple of blocks from the town centre. A great lot, but the program required for the site was stretching the limits of the site. With the final design, we ended up being at 99.99% of our allowable buildable area! The home contains a compact two bedroom suite accessed from the rear of the property. Wrapping around this is a huge two car garage, with enough space for the owners trucks and motorbikes. The lounge and kitchen are open plan and have large doors out to the west. A double height entry creates a feature opening, with a single run of stairs up to the upper floor. Here, three large bedrooms and two bathrooms fill the space, some with vaulted ceilings. The master bedroom has sliding doors that open to a private west facing balcony. The craftmanship and skill in woodwork throughout the building is exemplary and a real testament to the skilled guy and girls at Tree Construction who built the home.

Still adhering to the vernacular of its local neighborhood in Mission Viejo, this majestic home sitting high on a cul-de-sac gets a contemporary refresh. The McCool family wanted to remove the elevated living room, reconfigure the stairs, and update the whole space. This required extensive preparation even before the demolition was executed. The Burgin Design • Remodel team put up temporary stairs with a full wood wall to keep the homeowners safe and clean during the demo stage of the project. The McCools also wanted to open up the rear area of the home and enlarge the opening to create an indoor-outdoor living experience. We expanded the opening to 16' wide using a steel I-Beam, 2 posts with 2 pad footings, and then installed an AG Millworks bi-fold door system. Our clients now enjoy a full view of the backyard without having to worry about glare or bugs—Thanks to the retractable accordion screen feature!

A close up of the shampoo niche. Preparation for this detail required modifying the framing studs inside the wall, but that pretty easy to do (plan ahead!). We sized the niche to be the same as the field tiles (12x24), thus minimizing tile cuts and grout lines.

This gorgeous wide plank antique Oak is our most requested floor! With dramatic widths ranging from 6 to 12 inches (14 inches in some cases), you can easily bring an old-world charm into your home. This product comes to you completely pre-finished and ready to install. We start by hand sanding the surface, beveling the edges ever so slightly, and being careful to preserve the historical integrity of the planks. Typically, about 80% of your flooring will be "Smooth" with the remaining 20% having a slight texture from the original saw kerfs. This material will also have nail holes, knots, and checks which only adds to the unique character. Next, we apply Waterlox, a tung oil based sealant with or without stain added. Finally, 3 coats of Vermont Polywhey finish are added with a hand buffing between coats. The result is a luxurious satiny finish that you can only get from Historic Flooring!

After the remodel, the laundry room is a room unto itself. No longer a hallway from the garage into the kitchen, it features large cabinets over the washer and dryer (not pictured), a tall pantry cabinet and five feet of countertop, a generous sink and an upper cabinet for additional storage. This sunny laundry room was taken up a notch with the addition of a custom Roman Shade and Valance. It also features two chrome closet rods that the client uses when removing clothes from the dryer to prevent wrinkling and also for hand washables that require air drying. PHOTO CREDIT: John Ray

This staircase is a “curved” staircase design and is an example of highly specialized woodwork. The challenge with this curved wall was to use something that would be flexible enough to build into the curve. We settled on doing “Judges Panels.” “Judges Panels” are created with a “stacked box” look from the floor (or from the steps in this case) to the ceiling. Panel molding was used to build the box frames because it’s flexible enough to make those curves. The calculations necessary to make the boxes or frames and to make the cuts is where a highly skilled craftsman is separated from a regular trim carpenter. The process required two full days just to mark up the wall to visually set up how it was to be laid out. Then another two full days were needed to cut each frame and nail it to the wall. Every cut was absolutely perfect. Once all the woodwork was completed, the panel wall was sprayed with white enamel to give it the look of a full wood wall. The end result was stunning.
