Basement Tiki Bar. This is a basement on Lake Lanier. The customer wanted a bar type atmosphere and wanted the concrete floor to look like an old dock, with weathered grayish boards. If you look to the left of the support post, you can see a crack in the floor. The owner chose to keep the crack to add a little character.

This penthouse awning installation near New York City shows 2,000+ square feet of dining area that is now completely protected by a waterproof retractable enclosure. The desire was for a penthouse awning that provided protection from the sun, but was also heavy-duty enough to handle inclement weather. The owner wanted to preserve the Al-fresco outdoor dining feel of the rooftop patio, but wanted to be able to hit a button for on-demand protection when needed. This restaurant can now book additional functions, generating more revenue from the penthouse than before the awning was installed - guaranteeing their patrons a protected space. The Gennius is a retractable pergola awning SPECIFICALLY designed to handle inclement weather. Rainwater is routed downward with the slope of the fabric, and captured within a gutter integrated within the awning's supporting framework. Rainwater then escapes the gutter through the support posts and is diverted away from the entertaining area.

The idea for this kitchen was rustic country and the recycled beams and knotted alder cabinets complete the look. We expanded the counter and designed it with two tiers to give a seating area without taking space away from the kitchen. -Allison Caves, CKD Caves Kitchens

Nestled in the bluffs of beautiful Keuka lake, the Farro Lake House went through an impressive journey to reach the space you see. The kitchen once housed the garage, and you can still see the support beam where the wall used to be. A support post is cleverly hidden inside one of the many custom built-in cabinets. This kitchen has absolutely everything you could want, from a backsplash with tile handmade in Rochester to a built-in coffee machine. The Home is entirely fitted for lake living, with performance fabrics, and a table fashioned from reclaimed oak ready to receive its beautiful lakeside patina.

Original wooden deck structure was failing. Client took advantage of the opportunity to re-build the deck structure and railing system to be able to take full advantage of the great views that their waterfront property affords them. A previously bulky cedar shingle pillar support system was replaced with a much more slight vinyl clad support post system. Then the wooden rails were replaced with aluminum rails and glass panels, thus opening their views amazingly to the water view they have.

Feinmann restored the exterior of an 1885 Victorian home that had deteriorated over the years in Arlington, Massachusetts. Between fixing and improving the front and back porch, Juliet Balconies, shingles, panels, and intricate design elements, we brought back the home’s original splendor. We first focused on restoring the front and back porches by repositioning the stairs, reinforcing the brick and wood support posts, installing pressure-treated framing and mahogany decking, and fixing its existing handrails and roof structure. Feinmann then shifted attention to the house’s design details by replacing all the balusters, posts, spindles, and corbels that give the outside its Victorian feel. We also rebuilt the Juliet Balconies that were located over the dining room and left side of the home and fixed the broken fish-scale shingles, cedar clapboard, and trim.

Xtreme Renovations just completed a Total Kitchen Renovation Project for our clients in the Westbury Area. Our clients envisioned transforming their closed in Kitchen to a functional open space that flowed into the Living Area to provide a much large feel to the main Living area. This renovation project required removing a set of upper cabinetry along with a load bearing support post. To provide the wide open ‘feel’ our clients desired, a new support beam was install between the Kitchen and Living area. All Kitchen existing cabinets were refaced to a shaker style and painted white. Two additional custom built cabinets were added to the back Cabinetry for additional storage space as well as adding a hidden trash receptacle drawer. To add functionality to the new cabinets, full extension soft closing drawer glides were install with European soft closing hedges on the new cabinet doors. The project also included installing new Absolute Black Granite with Travertine subway Tile backsplash. New Travertine tile flooring was also installed on a Versailles pattern from the front entryway into the Kitchen and walkway to the Master Bedroom. To add a touch of class and the ‘Wow Factored’ that our clients deserved and Xtreme Renovations is known for, upgraded LED recessed lighting along with over countertop Pendulum lighting as well as under cabinet lighting on dimmers created a ambiance that is inviting and soothing to the eye. Many other electrical upgrades were provided as well as install a stainless Farm Sink. Drywall repair and repainting areas affected by the renovation topped of this remarkable transformation.
