Inspiration for a mid-sized tropical backyard stone and custom-shaped hot tub remodel in Hawaii

This Master Bath was remodeled after the new owner discovered excessive termite damage that required the entire bathroom, including the sub-framing and exterior walls, to be demolished. The bathroom was re-arranged to not include a tub/shower. This photo shows the completed work just before the glass partition for the walk-in shower was installed.

Our client approached us while he was in the process of purchasing his ½ lot detached unit in Hermosa Beach. He was drawn to a design / build approach because although he has great design taste, as a busy professional he didn’t have the time or energy to manage every detail involved in a home remodel. The property had been used as a rental unit and was in need of TLC. By bringing us onto the project during the purchase we were able to help assess the true condition of the home. Built in 1976, the 894 sq. ft. home had extensive termite and dry rot damage from years of neglect. The project required us to reframe the home from the inside out.
To design a space that your client will love you really need to spend time getting to know them. Our client enjoys entertaining small groups. He has a custom turntable and considers himself a mixologist. We opened up the space, space-planning for his custom turntable, to make it ideal for entertaining. The wood floor is reclaimed wood from manufacturing facilities. The reframing work also allowed us to make the roof a deck with an ocean view. The home is now a blend of the latest design trends and vintage elements and our client couldn’t be happier!

We offer many styles of solid or lattice covers, either attached to your home or as a freestanding pergola or trellis in your yard.
We are experts at designing and building patio covers with the best aluminum products in the industry that look like premium grade wood but will never warp, crack, dry rot, burn or become infested with termites.

They are the perfect alternative to building an office, workshop, hobby room, temporary shelter with conventional construction materials like metal studs and drywall or concrete block.They are manufactured with durable coil-coated galvanized steel that sandwiches a fire-retardant CFC-Free Poly-Urethane insulation.
The construction provides a strong lasting wall that reduces heat gain on summer or heat loss in winter making these buildings ideal for all weather conditions and usable for various purposes. The installation is much faster because all of the components used to construct the prefabricated building have already been prepped at our factory.

This outdoor living transformation brought together multiple phases of construction to create a seamless, year-round entertaining space. The project began with dry rot repairs and termite remediation, followed by framing a custom outdoor fireplace, completing the chimney, and preparing it for a beautiful stone finish. A custom soffit with skylights and detailed trim was installed to create a warm, finished ceiling that complements the home's architecture.
The existing deck was removed and replaced with a newly framed deck featuring custom stairs, durable decking, and modern railing. New siding and trim were completed around the home and breezeway, tying the addition into the existing exterior for a cohesive look.
The outdoor living area was further enhanced with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, including cabinetry, shelving, appliances, a kegerator, and a wine temperature control system. Electrical work included recessed lighting, heaters, fireplace power, dimmers, and a dedicated subpanel to support the space's amenities. A new fence and gate were also constructed and painted to match the homeowner's preferences, providing both privacy and a polished finish.
Throughout the project, our team coordinated closely with specialty contractors, including the stone mason and paver installer, ensuring each phase was completed in the proper sequence. The result is a thoughtfully designed outdoor living space that blends craftsmanship, functionality, and lasting quality—creating the perfect setting for entertaining family and friends throughout every season.

This house had a very old kitchen cabinets, old appliances, was very small with walls that was separating the kitchen and dining room and kitchen and laundry room. the sub floor was not even and was sinking down in the laundry room area from bad wood rough and termite. we opened up the 2 walls from the dining room all the way to the back wall with supporting posts and beams, we fixed and raised the damaged floor area by adding new cripple wall drilled to existing foundation and we cut and sistered the floor joists. we removed the old plaster walls and ceilings, frame out new exterior door and kitchen window. adding replumbing and rewiring the kitchen and the entire house and upgrading the panel box to 200 amp. relocating the water heater and installing new tankless water heater outside. adding new insulation on exterior walls, waterproof membrane and adding new wood siding to the exterior wall in the kitchen area. we covered the floor joists with plywood, cover the plywood with waterproof membrane, adding cement board on top and applying red guard waterproof membrane to the cement board, then we installed new tiles. we covered all walls and ceiling with drywall and paint, then we installed the kitchen cabinets, counter top, backsplash tile, appliances and light fixtures.
