Recent builds, start to finish

Three projects with the scope, the schedule we held, and what the homeowner said afterward.

A finished dark green kitchen with quartzite counters and a built-in banquette

Ottawa Hills kitchen rebuild

A 1926 kitchen carved into three small rooms became one working space. We pulled a bearing wall with a flush beam, moved the range to the exterior wall for a straight duct run, and built a banquette into the window bay. The new oak floor was woven into the original, so the seam is hard to find, and the old pantry door was saved and re-hung.

Kitchen7 weeks

They found rot under the old sink wall on day three, priced the repair that same afternoon, and still handed the kitchen back on the date we were given at signing.

A bluestone path and cedar deck with wide steps, ornamental grasses, and a fire bowl

Bluestone path and cedar deck

The back yard drained toward the foundation and the old deck sat two steps too high. We regraded, set a dry-laid bluestone path with a cut stone edge, and rebuilt the deck in cedar with wide steps that meet the lawn. A gas line went in for the fire bowl while the trench was already open, and the downspouts now run to daylight past the beds.

Exteriors3 weeks

Three different crews came through and every one of them cleaned up before leaving. The path has been through two Michigan winters now and has not moved.

A primary bathroom with a curbless tile shower and an oak vanity milled to the wall

Primary bath renovation

A cramped bath with a corner tub gave up its closet for a proper shower. We moved a drain, framed a curbless entry, and ran large format tile to a hidden linear drain. The oak vanity was milled to the full wall length, so the room reads calm instead of crowded, and the niche is lit from above.

Bathroom5 weeks

We asked a lot of questions and got straight answers every time, including the ones where the answer was that our idea would cost more than it was worth.

A new two story rear addition seen from inside, with beam ceiling and glass doors to the yard

Two story rear addition

A narrow 1940s house gained a family room below and a bedroom above without losing the yard. We matched the roof pitch and siding reveal, carried the existing ceiling line through the opening, and set the new footings clear of a maple we were asked to save.

Addition5 months

The addition ties into the old roof so cleanly that our neighbors keep asking which part of the house is new.

Theo Blanchard, West Michigan homeowner

A finished lower level with polished concrete floors, built-in shelving, and low recessed lighting

Lower level rebuild

Water came in at two corners every spring, so drainage and a new sump came before a single stud. We kept the ceiling as high as the ductwork allowed, framed shallow soffits only where they were needed, and finished the slab rather than building a floor over it.

Lower level8 weeks

It stayed dry through a wet spring. The unglamorous work happened first, which is why the finished part still looks new.

What homeowners tell us

Illustrative demo reviews written for this template, from the kind of clients this site is built to attract.

Our kitchen came back two days early and the punch list had four items on it. Both of those were firsts for us.

Ellen Vasquez

The schedule taped to our fridge was updated every Friday. I always knew who was coming and what they were doing.

Grant Whitley

They protected the floors, the stair rail, and the dog. The crew felt like guests rather than a job site.

Marisol Pena

The bid broke out every allowance, so the final number matched the first number we were quoted.

Naomi Sutherland

They talked us out of a layout we liked and into one that works. Six months in, they were right.

Curtis Ahn

Our plaster was repaired instead of torn out, and the 1908 trim still matches around the new opening.

Hollis Byrne

One lead carpenter for eleven weeks. By the end he knew our house better than we did.

Dev Raghunathan

Permits, engineering, and the inspection schedule were handled without a single phone call from us.

Simone Ferraro

The tile layout was drawn and approved before a single piece got cut. No surprises at the wall.

Jonah Kessler

They came back at eleven months to adjust two doors that had settled. No invoice, no argument.

Adaeze Nwosu

Dust walls and air scrubbers meant we stayed in the house with a toddler through a kitchen gut.

Perry Lindqvist

Every change order arrived in writing with a price before the work happened, not after.
