This large family room was beautiful before the built in, but looks even better after.
The room had shiplap on the fireplace wall, but over 16 feet of open wall that the TV was situated in front of.
Taking shape! The base cabinet is over 13 feet long! Cabinet carcass is installed, and just waiting for paint.
Only thing left to do was to install the base cabinet doors.
We think the cabinet turned out great. Spray ‘n Coat Painting did a fantastic job on the cabinet base and doors.
This bathroom needed an update, but the owner did not want to spend a ton of money on new cabinets or counter tops.
Changed out the mirrors, light fixtures, added shiplap and crown moulding.
This dining room had a tray ceiling that was painted the same color as the walls. The homeowner wanted the ceiling to really stand out, so we painted it white and installed crown molding in the tray, and base plus crown molding around the edge. The base molding went under the crown to build it up and make it look even more significant.
We started by painting the ceiling (you really don’t have to cut in if you are installing crown molding all the way around). The light fixture came down too as the homeowner had one that was to be installed when everything was completed.
I cut and coped each corner as I think it gives the best fit you can get with either base or crown molding. Trying to cut crown so that it just 45 degree butts into eachother will never give you a great finish. The walls (especially where the walls meet eachother or the ceiling is never truly square). Drywall and plaster have the same problem- the corners are finished with a trowel or taping knife and are almost impossible to get perfect.
Here is the finished product with both courses of crown molding done. The one around the edge also has the base molding under it. Once it is up and caulked and painted, it looks great, and really sets the ceiling apart!
This Jack and Jill bathroom needed some updating as it was mostly original from 1959. The homeowners wanted a classic style bathroom remodel. As with all projects, deconstruction had to come first. The bathroom was stripped down to the studs and the ceiling joists. This process was messy, and all of the old plaster and tile had to go out the small window.
One of the requested upgrades was the removal of the outward swinging doors that were taking up too much wall space in each of the adjoining bedrooms.
New pocket doors were installed, followed by new drywall on the ceiling and the walls.
The shower surround has a niche for shampoo and soap, finished with metal tile trim.
The vanity was a pre-built piece that had to be placed before the door trim was put into place. The vanity was trimmed out with wood at the same time that the base and crown moldings were installed. The new pocket doors were put into place, and this bathroom was finished!
The floor was installed with minimum grout lines (laid out without spacers) for the cleanest look possible.

This kitchen had last been updated several decades ago, and even then it did not address some of the huge issues that were limiting it’s potential. It was a small, galley style with a drop down ceiling and dated tile.
The homeowners wanted an open concept kitchen and great room, so this kitchen wall that housed the sink and ovens had to go. The sliding door at the far end had to come out too as this was to become the window over the new farmhouse style sink.
The layout was done to maximize the open site lines required for open concept, and also to provide enough storage for a functional kitchen.
The new custom cabinets were built in place. The only thing left was to wait for the cabinet and door fronts to arrive to finish installation.
The range hood was installed and the granite countertops were laid to finish the kitchen.
