REMODELING

We took great care in making the new wing of this home blend in with the original. The part of the home on the right is the original part of the house.

One of the most challenging and rewarding ventures in the residential building field is remodeling. Whether you are adding a room, updating a kitchen, or replacing the siding on your house, the project seldom goes as planned. Yet in the end, how it turns out can surprise you. Remodeling takes craftsmanship, coordination, customer relations, conflict resolution, and occasionally, anger management. We are Pros at remodeling. You may find a cheaper (and I do mean cheaper) source, but you will not find a firm in East Central Illinois that is more dedicated to exceeding your expectations.

Whether you want to completely change the appearance of your home with a new bath, kitchen or siding, or just make subtle changes by opening up a room or completing necessary repairs, we are accomplished at both.
There are important factors unique to the remodeling process. An important goal for any home improvement project is to try to keep the integrity of the home intact. You know you have been successful if you invite friends or relatives over who have not been to your house in a while and they are scratching their heads trying to figure out what you actually did to the house.

A good remodel job should seamlessly tie in to the existing home, carrying the same styles and complementing the existing structure. This is accomplished not only with careful planning and design choices, but also in the execution of little details like making sure floor surfaces are all the same height, making window and door sizes the same size and elevation, and using similar trim and wall surfaces. The trick is to update items, but not to the point that they become obvious and clash with the surroundings.

We also added a detached garage on the back of the house that coordinates with the existing home.

Additionally, remodeling can be such an invasive process that you need a company that understands that “This is our home, and we are LIVING here while you work around us.” We understand. (see Customer Satisfaction for further details).
