Basement Remodel

 When looking to add functional space to your home, 

sometimes you need to look no further than your basement.  

A basement remodel can often add useful space to a home

 for far less cost than an addition. Below are 

some pictures of a basement remodel we did 

this year. 

 (Before)

We removed the existing finishes and constructed

perimeter walls.  We installed a moisture barrier

between the block walls and our new wall

which allowed us to fully insulate the space for 

both sound and thermal control.

The entire space was wired with can lighting, dimmers,

USB hubs, cable, and plenty of receptacles for 

every device imaginable.  The homeowners wanted

to give the basement a slightly rustic finish. We custom built 

the sliding barn door as well as the headboard for the bed.

The lighting and flooring choices helped to give the rustic

elements a more refined feel. 

As you can see the formerly stale basement turned out to 

be a very comfortable place to

sleep, watch TV, study and relax! 

Dining Room Remodel

These are some photos of a unique 

and fun remodeling project.  We were 

tasked with the challenge of transforming

an existing old dining room and bedroom/office

area into a large dining area.  We also needed to 

squeeze in a hidden laundry room 

for easy 1st floor access. It was a 

fun project for great people!

After

Makeover

Below is the before and after shot of

an exterior remodel project.  The siding 

had become dated and was beginning to 

blow off in the wind. The windows and doors were

drafty and needed replaced. 

We replaced the siding with Mastic dutch lap

vinyl siding. The old windows were removed and new Marvin

windows were installed.  If you look closely you can see 

that the 2nd floor windows are now separate units

rather than mulled together. The porch posts were 

replaced, as well as the doors.  It was a fun project 

and we love results!

Kitchen Renovation

Earlier this year we had the privilege of 

renovating a kitchen for a very nice couple. The kitchen 

in the house was original and lacked the necessary

counter and cabinet space for a modern kitchen.  It also had a large 

window and a chimney that were taking up valuable room.

  

Chimney has been removed from corner.

You'll see in the after pictures that 

we reduced the window height to allow space for a dishwasher and

counter top.  We also added a peninsula which helped

to maximize storage.  The former chimney location has become

a great place to feed and water the family pet!

Living Room Addition

In this project we worked with a family that 

loved their neighborhood, 

but their floor plan was a little too small.  They worked 

with a designer to come up with an addition that

met their need for living and entertainment space and

the full basement helped add some useful storage.

  We really enjoyed working with the family

and were happy to help make their home a little more functional!

In the photo below you can see where 

we extended the roof line of the home.  This made the home look 

more substantial and better protected from the weather. 

The home had a small addition and patio 

on the back that we removed. 

Before and After

Pool Deck

Though our summer has been a little rainy

we have been busy building pool decks! On this particular

deck we were able to incorporate the original deck into the 

new construction, which made the large deck space 

more cost-effective.  We used artificial decking and PVC Pool 

Code-Compliant rails which made for a nice finished product! 

Deck

On this Deck project we worked with 

Building Innovations, LLC. out of Saegertown, PA (814) 392-0092.  After 

the deck was laid out the owners decided they wanted more 

space for entertaining.  The local Building Inspector worked with us

to make the new scope of the project compatible with adopted 

building codes, while keeping the additional time and costs to a minimum. 

Everyone was very pleased with the results!
