In this Home Remodel, we completely demolished the existing dining, living, and family rooms down to the foundation. By renovating the foundation, we were able to enlarge the spaces and make them more livable. The duct work below the floor was upgraded during the home remodeling. We framed new (thicker) walls and installed fiberglass BIBS (blown-in blanket system) insulation in the walls and ceiling. The owner liked the look of modern materials, so with our interior design skills, Paralam beams were selected and used for headers and structural members. We created custom, clear vertical grain fir cabinets. The position of the entry door was relocated and numerous upgrades were made to the home during its complete renovation. We remodeled the kitchen, the main entrance to the house, and the upstairs bedroom suite as well.
