Our client wanted to give her kitchen a clean, updated look while staying within budget.

The updated cabinet style, new hardware, and improved drawer functionality brought new life to the space while complementing the existing finishes. Most importantly, our client trusted our team throughout the process and was thrilled with both the results and the efficiency of the project—we completed the installation in just six working days.
The finished kitchen feels brighter, more current, and much more functional, proving that a dramatic transformation doesn't always require a full remodel.

This long-time family home was ready for a thoughtful evolution. Originally built years ago, the homeowners came to us seeking a comprehensive renovation that better reflected how they live today — entertaining frequently, welcoming their grown children home for holidays and summers, and desiring spaces that feel elevated, functional, and deeply personal. What began as a kitchen and bath update ultimately became a whole-home transformation, touching every floor — from the main living level to the bedroom floor and even the attic.
On the first floor, we completed a full gut renovation and thoughtful reconfiguration of the layout. Walls were removed — including a former pantry and powder room — to dramatically improve sightlines and flow between the kitchen and living room. The kitchen footprint was expanded to accommodate a generously sized island designed for gathering. A two-tone cabinetry palette establishes subtle zoning: Farrow & Ball Stiffkey Blue anchors the island and refrigerator surround, while White Tie brightens the perimeter cabinetry. Paneled appliances conceal the dishwasher and trash, while a stainless refrigerator adds balance and contrast. Antique brass hardware and oversized statement pendants layer in warmth and charm. Inside the cabinetry, custom storage solutions — from built-in spice racks and pull-out trays to a dedicated Tupperware drawer with lid dividers — ensure everything has its place.
The former dining room was reimagined as a full-service butler’s pantry, complete with a second prep sink, paneled beverage drawers, an ice maker, glass display cabinetry, and abundant storage. Two built-in desks and a bench create a flexible zone for puzzles, homework, or casual seating. By relocating coffee and cocktail service to this dedicated space, the main kitchen remains uncluttered — even during large gatherings.
The powder room was thoughtfully relocated to support the new layout and transformed into a jewel-box moment for guests. Schumacher’s Romantic Bosphorus mural wallpaper creates a hand-painted, immersive experience. A custom console vanity with a Carrara marble top and backsplash pairs beautifully with an antique brass wall-mounted faucet, layered with warm lighting and brass finishes for an unforgettable impression.
Beyond the kitchen, we opened up the living room and installed a custom bi-fold door system that seamlessly connects the interior to the screened-in porch, enhancing indoor-outdoor living. A bespoke music room was also created on the main level, complete with integrated soundproofing and custom cabinetry designed to house instruments, sheet music, a piano, and a concealed sound system — allowing the family’s love of music to be fully supported without visual clutter. Throughout the home, existing hardwood floors were refinished, and new decorative lighting and upgraded recessed lighting were installed to elevate both ambiance and functionality.
On the bedroom floor, every space received a refresh. Each bedroom was thoughtfully updated with custom wallpaper and wall coverings, while the shared bathroom was fully renovated to incorporate a highly functional laundry area. Durable finishes, smart storage solutions, and a clean layout ensure it works seamlessly for adult children when home while still serving daily needs year-round.
The primary bathroom was transformed into a serene retreat designed for daily restoration. A soft neutral palette and layered materials create a calming environment, while half of the space functions as a wet room where the tub and shower share one expansive area. Porcelain tile with a Calacatta marble look delivers timeless elegance without the maintenance of natural stone. Champagne Bronze fixtures complement natural cherry cabinetry — a nod to the homeowner’s passion for woodworking — and thoughtful recessed niches provide clean, hidden storage.
Even the attic was elevated to support modern living. Previously underutilized, the space was upgraded to serve as a dedicated home office for the homeowner, who works there daily. Improved lighting, finishes, and function transformed it into a productive and comfortable retreat tucked away from the main living areas.
Integrated technology plays a key role throughout the home. A Control4 smart home automation system was implemented to seamlessly manage sound, lighting, and comfort. Custom blinds, drapery, and upholstery were carefully coordinated and fabricated to complement each space, adding softness and cohesion from room to room.
This project represents more than a renovation — it is a full reimagining of how the home supports gathering, creativity, comfort, and daily life. Every floor was thoughtfully considered. Every space was elevated. And the result is a sophisticated yet welcoming home designed to serve this family beautifully for years to come.

We're excited to share the details of another successful project completed by our dedicated professional team! In just one week, we transformed this cozy pool and spa into a beautiful oasis for relaxation and enjoyment. Here's a breakdown of the transformation process:
**Before:**
- The pool and spa were in a state of wear, with visible cracks and surface damage.
- The water had to be drained completely to provide access for the necessary repairs and preparations.
**Transformation Process:**
1. **Draining:** We began by completely draining the pool and spa to ensure a thorough and effective workspace for repairs.
2. **Preparation and Repair:** Our experts carefully prepared the surface by cleaning and repairing the existing cracks to ensure a smooth and durable base.
3. **Pebbling:** We applied a high-quality pebble finish to the pool and spa surfaces. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures longevity and a non-slip surface for safety.
**After:**
- The result is a stunning, clean, and rejuvenated pool and spa area where our customers can relax and cool off in style.
- Their pool and spa are now ready to provide countless enjoyable moments during these hot summer days.
Our team takes immense pride in delivering such transformations that bring joy and satisfaction to our customers.

This homeowner wanted help in transforming their outdated kitchen to something more open and inviting. We helped them design a new kitchen where we removed the peninsula and upper cabinets to open the space up. This also allowed them to incorporate an island which they really wanted. The new cabinets were from our Kitchen Solvers Legacy Collection in a shaker door in a rustic hickory wood. They stayed with a natural stain for the color. Next, we installed a new Notting Hill quartz countertop along with a 3” x 12” Raku White tile backsplash. To finish this stunning transformation, a new luxury vinyl plank floor was also installed. Check out this amazing new kitchen!

A coastal Massachusetts backyard deserves a space that can be enjoyed from the first warm days of spring through the crisp evenings of fall. This project transformed an underutilized grassy lawn into a beautiful outdoor living area centered around a 12' x 12' Cedar Big Kahuna Attached Pergola.
The transformation began with a simple backyard that offered plenty of potential but lacked a defined gathering space. The homeowners first installed a spacious paver patio, creating a durable foundation for outdoor entertaining and everyday relaxation. As the project progressed, the addition of the attached Big Kahuna pergola brought structure, shade, and architectural character to the home's exterior.
Crafted from premium cedar, the Big Kahuna's robust design complements the coastal New England setting while providing lasting durability and timeless style. The finished space now features a welcoming outdoor bar, comfortable seating areas, and plenty of room for family and friends to gather.
The result is a seamless extension of the home, transforming what was once an open patch of lawn into a functional outdoor destination for dining, entertaining, and enjoying the beauty of the Massachusetts coast. From the first paver installation to the finished pergola-covered patio, this backyard makeover is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can completely redefine an outdoor space.
Project Details
Pergola Style: Big Kahuna Attached Pergola
Size: 12' x 12'
Material: Rough Sawn Western Red Cedar (Premium)
Location: Massachusetts
Features: Paver Patio, Outdoor Bar, Entertaining Area, Coastal Backyard Design
Use: Outdoor Dining, Relaxation, and Gathering Space

Behind the unassuming exterior of this 1985 split-level home in Southwest Portland lies a dramatic whole-home transformation that blends thoughtful functionality with bold postmodern design. What began as a series of disconnected, dated spaces evolved into a cohesive living environment tailored to the homeowners' everyday routines, entertaining style, and appreciation for distinctive design.
The kitchen served as the anchor of the renovation and set the tone for the home's updated aesthetic. Rich Sapele cabinetry, geometric white tile, and sleek contemporary finishes create a sophisticated gathering space that balances warmth with modern refinement. The original layout suffered from limited storage, inefficient workflow, and underutilized square footage. Through comprehensive space planning, the kitchen was completely reimagined with highly customized storage solutions, including dedicated organization for cookware, utensils, baking supplies, waste management, and small appliances. Panel-ready appliances, concealed storage features, and a striking waterfall island maintain clean visual lines while enhancing everyday functionality.
Entertaining was a major priority for the homeowners and inspired the creation of a dedicated hospitality zone adjacent to the kitchen. A previously overlooked nook was transformed into a custom beverage station complete with a kegerator, wine refrigerator, beverage refrigerator, illuminated display shelving, and storage designed specifically for the homeowners' collection of glassware and spirits. The result is a welcoming destination for gathering with friends and family.
Beyond the kitchen, the renovation extended throughout the home to create a more functional and cohesive living experience. The primary bathroom was completely reconfigured to improve storage, accessibility, and comfort. By reshaping the shower into a more efficient footprint, space was gained for a larger custom walnut double vanity with integrated storage and open shelving. Layered tile selections introduce texture and visual interest, combining porcelain floor tile with blue-gray ceramic wall tile and coordinating patterned accents throughout the space. A Toto bidet toilet, updated plumbing, and provisions for future accessibility enhancements ensure the bathroom is both beautiful and practical.
A nearby powder room received its own bold personality through the use of geometric flooring, warm honey-gold wall color, floating walnut-toned shelving, and a vanity featuring linear detailing that echoes the patterns found throughout the space. The combination of warm wood tones, graphic shapes, and contemporary fixtures creates a memorable guest experience while complementing the home's overall design language.
The basement level was also transformed from a dated and underutilized area into functional living space designed to support the homeowners' evolving needs. Luxury vinyl plank flooring was installed throughout to coordinate with the main floor finishes, while outdated wall coverings were removed in favor of fresh drywall and modern finishes. An existing closet was converted into a dedicated laundry area with integrated storage, and new spaces were created for a guest bedroom and home gym, adding versatility and value to the home.
To unify the renovation, updates were carried throughout the entire residence. Flat-panel interior doors, modern chrome hardware, simplified flat-stock trim, and updated lighting establish a cohesive mid-century-inspired aesthetic from room to room. Electrical improvements throughout the home support the new fixtures while enhancing overall functionality and comfort. New lighting in the dining room, entry, primary bedroom, outdoor living areas, and throughout the home further reinforces the clean, modern design approach.
What makes this remodel especially compelling is the balance between bold design expression and everyday livability. Every decision, from the custom cabinetry and specialized storage to the carefully selected finishes and lighting, was made with both aesthetics and function in mind. The completed renovation transforms an ordinary split-level home into a highly personalized environment where modern convenience, thoughtful organization, and distinctive design come together seamlessly.

Master Bathroom Remodeling in Ambler, PA – A Complete Transformation by BMR Belmax Remodeling
At BMR Belmax Remodeling, we specialize in creating beautiful, functional, and luxurious bathroom spaces tailored to our clients’ needs. One of our most recent projects involved a master bathroom remodeling in Ambler, PA, where we completely reimagined the layout to maximize space, improve functionality, and enhance aesthetics. The result was a modern, spacious, and inviting master bathroom that perfectly suited the homeowner’s vision.
The Challenge: An Outdated and Divided Bathroom
The original master bathroom in Ambler, PA was divided into two separate rooms. One area housed a vanity and closet, while the other contained the shower and toilet. While functional, this layout felt cramped, disjointed, and inefficient. The homeowners wanted to merge these two spaces into a single, cohesive master bathroom that felt larger, more open, and more luxurious.
They envisioned a modern walk-in shower, enhanced storage, better lighting, and high-end finishes, all while improving the flow and accessibility of the space. Our team at BMR Belmax Remodeling worked closely with them to develop a design that addressed their needs and transformed their bathroom into a modern retreat.
The Transformation: A Unified & Modern Master Bathroom
Our approach to this bathroom renovation in Ambler, PA focused on space optimization, luxury finishes, and functionality. We combined the two separate rooms into one expansive master bathroom, making the space feel more open and elegant.
1. Layout Reconfiguration & Wall Removal
We removed the dividing wall between the shower and vanity area to open up the space and create a more seamless layout.
A new wall was built to expand the shower area, allowing for a larger and more comfortable walk-in shower.
The closet and vanity space were integrated into the main bathroom layout, eliminating the need for a separate entryway and making the space more efficient and accessible.
2. Walk-In Shower with Premium Features
A stunning walk-in shower with sleek glass doors was installed to give the bathroom a modern and luxurious look.
We used large-format tiles on the shower walls and flooring, creating a cohesive, stylish, and low-maintenance surface.
A built-in recessed niche with a custom tile shelf was added for practical storage while maintaining a clean and sophisticated design.
3. Vanity & Storage Enhancements
The old vanity was replaced with a sleek, modern vanity that provided ample storage and counter space.
We incorporated custom-built shelves on the left side of the vanity, offering additional storage without cluttering the design.
A lighted mirror was installed above the vanity, combining style and practicality while enhancing the overall lighting in the space.
4. Elegant Fixtures & Finishes
To add a touch of luxury, we installed gold-finished fixtures, including the showerhead, faucets, and cabinet handles, giving the bathroom a high-end, elegant feel.
A modern one-piece toilet was installed to complement the clean and minimalist design.
The bathroom’s neutral color palette and textured finishes created a calm and inviting atmosphere.
5. Enhanced Ventilation & Lighting
A new exhaust fan was installed to improve air circulation and moisture control, ensuring a comfortable and mold-free environment.
Additional task lighting and ambient lighting were carefully placed to make the bathroom bright, warm, and inviting.
The Result: A Stunning, Spacious, and Functional Master Bathroom
The completed master bathroom remodeling in Ambler, PA is now a spacious, modern retreat that perfectly blends style and functionality. By unifying the previously divided rooms, we created a flowing and open space that feels larger and more inviting. The walk-in shower, gold fixtures, and custom vanity elevate the aesthetics, while the recessed niche, built-in shelves, and enhanced lighting provide practicality and comfort.
The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation, noting how much brighter, more functional, and elegant the space now feels. They particularly loved how the layout reconfiguration made the space more open and efficient, as well as the luxurious finishes that added a high-end touch.

This kitchen went through a stunning kitchen transformation. We removed a wall to help open up the kitchen space and give the homeowner room to add an island. We also removed the soffits to install tall cabinets. The new cabinets were done in a Hickory mission door in a Safari color from our Kitchen Solvers Classic Collection line. We then added a new HD Laminate countertop in Perla and a 3” x 6” Architectural Grey Gloss backsplash. To complete this transformation, we installed a new luxury vinyl plank floor. Now, this is truly a beautiful kitchen transformation.

Built in the 1970s by a hardworking family patriarch, this Portland-area ranch home had been the backdrop for generations of memories. When the homeowners inherited the property from their grandparents, they saw an opportunity to honor its history while creating a modern sanctuary for their growing family. Through a thoughtful whole-home renovation, this once dark and compartmentalized ranch was transformed into a bright, open, and welcoming home designed for the next generation.
With a toddler at home and another child on the way, the family's goal was to create spaces that felt connected, functional, and built to last. The heart of the renovation centered on opening the home's main living areas, replacing disconnected rooms with a spacious open-concept kitchen and living room designed for gathering and everyday life. Enlarged windows flood the interior with natural light, while carefully selected finishes bring warmth, durability, and timeless appeal.
The kitchen became the focal point of the transformation. Stock cabinetry was elevated through custom details including floating wood shelves and stained wood-wrapped columns that add warmth and character. At the center, a striking quartz island serves as both a gathering place and a clever structural solution, seamlessly incorporating support elements required for the newly opened floor plan.
Creating this open-concept layout required significant structural modifications, including the removal of six walls, three of them load-bearing. Engineered beams were recessed into the ceiling to maintain clean sightlines, while new footings were carefully installed within the crawlspace to support the redistributed loads. Additional improvements included relocating the furnace to eliminate a major circulation obstacle and installing a new garage access door that required modifications to the existing foundation.
Throughout the project, thoughtful planning helped maximize both budget and performance. Luxury vinyl plank flooring provides the look of hardwood while standing up to children and large pets, while stain-resistant carpeting offers comfort in the bedrooms. Existing window locations were retained and enlarged to increase natural light without the expense of major structural changes. Even the structural columns required for the new beams were integrated into the island design, transforming a necessity into an architectural feature.
Completed two weeks ahead of schedule, this Portland metro ranch remodel demonstrates how thoughtful design-build remodeling can preserve a home's heritage while adapting it for modern family living. Through strategic planning, creative problem-solving, and quality craftsmanship, a beloved family home was transformed into a bright, functional retreat ready to create decades of new memories.

We incorporated custom-built shelves on the left side of the vanity, offering additional storage without cluttering the design.
A lighted mirror was installed above the vanity, combining style and practicality while enhancing the overall lighting in the space.

A modern one-piece toilet was installed to complement the clean and minimalist design.
The bathroom’s neutral color palette and textured finishes created a calm and inviting atmosphere.
5. Enhanced Ventilation & Lighting
A new exhaust fan was installed to improve air circulation and moisture control, ensuring a comfortable and mold-free environment.
Additional task lighting and ambient lighting were carefully placed to make the bathroom bright, warm, and inviting.
The Result: A Stunning, Spacious, and Functional Master Bathroom
The completed master bathroom remodeling in Ambler, PA is now a spacious, modern retreat that perfectly blends style and functionality. By unifying the previously divided rooms, we created a flowing and open space that feels larger and more inviting. The walk-in shower, gold fixtures, and custom vanity elevate the aesthetics, while the recessed niche, built-in shelves, and enhanced lighting provide practicality and comfort.
The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation, noting how much brighter, more functional, and elegant the space now feels. They particularly loved how the layout reconfiguration made the space more open and efficient, as well as the luxurious finishes that added a high-end touch.

Built in the 1970s by a hardworking family patriarch, this Portland-area ranch home had been the backdrop for generations of memories. When the homeowners inherited the property from their grandparents, they saw an opportunity to honor its history while creating a modern sanctuary for their growing family. Through a thoughtful whole-home renovation, this once dark and compartmentalized ranch was transformed into a bright, open, and welcoming home designed for the next generation.
With a toddler at home and another child on the way, the family's goal was to create spaces that felt connected, functional, and built to last. The heart of the renovation centered on opening the home's main living areas, replacing disconnected rooms with a spacious open-concept kitchen and living room designed for gathering and everyday life. Enlarged windows flood the interior with natural light, while carefully selected finishes bring warmth, durability, and timeless appeal.
The kitchen became the focal point of the transformation. Stock cabinetry was elevated through custom details including floating wood shelves and stained wood-wrapped columns that add warmth and character. At the center, a striking quartz island serves as both a gathering place and a clever structural solution, seamlessly incorporating support elements required for the newly opened floor plan.
Creating this open-concept layout required significant structural modifications, including the removal of six walls, three of them load-bearing. Engineered beams were recessed into the ceiling to maintain clean sightlines, while new footings were carefully installed within the crawlspace to support the redistributed loads. Additional improvements included relocating the furnace to eliminate a major circulation obstacle and installing a new garage access door that required modifications to the existing foundation.
Throughout the project, thoughtful planning helped maximize both budget and performance. Luxury vinyl plank flooring provides the look of hardwood while standing up to children and large pets, while stain-resistant carpeting offers comfort in the bedrooms. Existing window locations were retained and enlarged to increase natural light without the expense of major structural changes. Even the structural columns required for the new beams were integrated into the island design, transforming a necessity into an architectural feature.
Completed two weeks ahead of schedule, this Portland metro ranch remodel demonstrates how thoughtful design-build remodeling can preserve a home's heritage while adapting it for modern family living. Through strategic planning, creative problem-solving, and quality craftsmanship, a beloved family home was transformed into a bright, functional retreat ready to create decades of new memories.
