Patio - mid-sized contemporary backyard concrete paver patio idea in Denver with no cover

For this metal slate roof installation in Middletown, DE, we replaced the home's existing asphalt shingles. This home. built in 1830, faces strong winds often enough to rip up some of the shingles. Metal slate offers that authentic look with maximum durability.

This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option! Photo credit: Jeff Murrey

this projet took over a year to realise after the roof was ripped of the house by quite a gusty wind! I had worked on many rooms of this house and was so looking forward to creating a comfortable and elegant living room for parents and kids. photo byMonique B. Ménard

Roof underlayment was installed during initial inspection to prevent rain water from leaking in where missing shingles were blown off during severe thunderstorm. Furring strips are installed at 3 ft spacing, nails with 3 in (12P) ring shank nails at the rafters (24 in spacing o.c.). This provides air gap for extra insulation, as well as, a solid dense lumber for the large panels to be fastened to instead thru the shingles to the roof decking (OSB), which doesn't hold as well. During another strong wind storm, the right gust of wind can rip theses wind sails right off with screws in the OSB decking. Screwed to solid pine, ring shank nailed to soled 2x8 rafters stand much greater wind resistance. Almost double.

There were closet design dilemmas throughout! The original hall closet was unbelievable. We had the challenge of creating closets from what we thought were real closets until we ripped the floor out! The doors were floating and moving and not really attached to a frame. In the end, the new custom wall to wall closets are stunning… and very real! They maximize storage space in style.

The grey trend has evolved in the last twelve months. Nowadays browns, beige and a touch of grey are in demand. Greige is the new buzzword. Heavier hand scraped or contoured products, the rage that started around 2005 has taken a back seat in most areas, while a softer wire brushed "ceruse effect" seen mostly on White Oak has been remarkably strong showing no effects of becoming “dated” like the others mentioned. Ceruse Color Possibilities There are numerous color combinations to the "cerused" process with the most popular being white or off white. This design trend in hardwood flooring can have darker gray white oak with a mild ceruse off white effect. There are limitless possibilities in either a prefinished hardwood floor or with what we can create for you in a custom on-site finished hardwood floor. If something suits your fancy, contact us and we can work on creating just the look and sense of style you are looking for.
