This reno was a quick upgrade for the client. Tiling the one main wall and adding a floating vanity creates an open feel to the room, while the LED back-lit vanity mirror adds just the right amount of light for getting ready.

The upgrade of this home office included refinished wall cabinetry and used original aged barn beams to create a distinctive design. The combination of a freestanding desk, a comfortable seating area, and ample lighting both from natural light and LED ceiling lights result in an inviting space for work or relaxation.

Turning overlooked corners into usable space, this Sherman Oaks, CA backyard was upgraded with a newly built pool and a full outdoor renovation planned around how the family uses the yard. The design centers on a custom pool and a practical BBQ area that supports everyday use and hosting. We added walkways, a retaining wall, and rebuilt steps to manage elevation and improve access across the property. Stone paving with lighter accents defines each area, while LED lighting enhances visibility after dark, creating a durable, well-structured outdoor space.

After a Pensacola homeowner experienced issues with a Level 2 EV charger installed by Florida Power & Light (FPL), our team at Mr. Electric of Pensacola diagnosed the problem as a surge issue combined with an undersized breaker. We upgraded the electrical system with a 50-amp breaker and whole-home surge protection to provide safe, reliable charging. The project was completed with testing to ensure the system was fully functional and code-compliant. The homeowner also joined our Mr. Electric Advantage Plan, which provides a 15% discount on services and doubles the warranty from one to two years. Now, this home is protected from surges and ready for hassle-free EV charging.

The goal of this project was to upgrade the builder grade finishes and create an ergonomic space that had a contemporary feel. This bathroom transformed from a standard, builder grade bathroom to a contemporary urban oasis. This was one of my favorite projects, I know I say that about most of my projects but this one really took an amazing transformation. By removing the walls surrounding the shower and relocating the toilet it visually opened up the space. Creating a deeper shower allowed for the tub to be incorporated into the wet area. Adding a LED panel in the back of the shower gave the illusion of a depth and created a unique storage ledge. A custom vanity keeps a clean front with different storage options and linear limestone draws the eye towards the stacked stone accent wall.

The layout of this bathroom was opened up to get rid of the hallway effect, being only 7 foot wide, this bathroom needed all the width it could muster. Using light flooring in the form of natural lime stone 12x24 tiles with a linear pattern, it really draws the eye down the length of the room which is what we needed. Then, breaking up the space a little with the stone pebble flooring in the shower, this client enjoyed his time living in Japan and wanted to incorporate some of the elements that he appreciated while living there. The dark stacked stone feature wall behind the tub is the perfect backdrop for the LED panel, giving the illusion of a window and also creates a cool storage shelf for the tub. A narrow, but tasteful, oval freestanding tub fit effortlessly in the back of the shower. With a sloped floor, ensuring no standing water either in the shower floor or behind the tub, every thought went into engineering this Atlanta bathroom to last the test of time. With now adequate space in the shower, there was space for adjacent shower heads controlled by Kohler digital valves. A hand wand was added for use and convenience of cleaning as well. On the vanity are semi-vessel sinks which give the appearance of vessel sinks, but with the added benefit of a deeper, rounded basin to avoid splashing. Wall mounted faucets add sophistication as well as less cleaning maintenance over time. The custom vanity is streamlined with drawers, doors and a pull out for a can or hamper.
A wonderful project and equally wonderful client. I really enjoyed working with this client and the creative direction of this project.
