remodels and additions

From bathroom and kitchen remodels to complete renovations of an existing home, these sample projects display the myriad of opportunities that a well-planned and executed modernization can offer to existing homeowners. Often homeowners approach a contractor without first engaging an architect to program and design the project. Not only does that not result in saving money, it often results in an unsatisfactory process that ignores the these opportunities and is burdened by unforeseen costs as construction changes lead to change orders. The construction phase is not the optimal time to discover the consequences of prior decisions and indecision.
