RECENT PROJECTS


Spanish Colonial Remodel

This handsome project included a full exterior facelift and interior remodel including roofing, interior and exterior finishes, and the addition of more space on the master bedroom, entry, and living room. The entire exterior was re-plastered and a tower was added to the structure with operable windows for summer cooling stack ventilation.
 
The kitchen was completely redone with new cabinets, counters, and tile flooring. The main living space had the carpet removed, the existing concrete slab reworked and finished with patterning and a patina stain. Many antique pieces of furniture were configured into the interior and a Kiva style fireplace was installed and finished with plaster to add to the Spanish colonial effect.

Energy efficiency improvements included increased insulation throughout, attic ventilation, new energy efficient windows, skylights with heat blocking shades, and solar tubes to allow for adequate day lighting.

The entire remodel was accomplished with the owners living in the home. While this required effort on all parties, it was very successful, and a tribute to all the workers and the homeowners alike.
