Remodeling

Houses work along the same principles as all relationships do. You fall in love, you live with them, and then you realize you have to change them. Nothing radical, mind you, but just some enhancements to bring out the best. What may have looked perfect at the beginning, upon closer inspection, can actually have profound problems: rotting foundation, not enough weight-bearing structure, confusion in lay-out and skimpiness in scale. Too much room where you don’t want it; not enough space where you need it. Sometimes the problems are simply undetectable until it is too late to fix them.

So, now is the time to shake up the house, to tear down a few walls and to take cleaning to the next level.

Reface your cabinets. Resurface your countertops. Enhance your storage spaces.

There is no time like the present.

A kitchen is not just a kitchen. It is the unpainted canvas on which we hope to create a multi-tasking food center. And a basement is never just a basement, but an unrealized recreation room or a wine cellar waiting to be born. All you need is a clear understanding of what you have to spend, a precise plan of attack and the help of your family members.

Remodeling doesn’t have to make you lose your sanity.
