What a Project Looks Like

Below are the kinds of projects we take on, with the scope and decisions each one typically involves — so you can find the one closest to yours and know roughly what you're getting into before you call.

Discuss Your Project

Kitchen

The Cabinet-and-Counter Refresh

The layout stays exactly as it is. New countertops, sink and faucet, tile backsplash, updated lighting, and either new cabinet fronts or full replacement in the same footprint.

Typically involves: demolition of existing tops and backsplash, cabinet work, countertop templating and install, tile, electrical for lighting.
Best when: the kitchen works but looks dated.

Kitchen

Opening the Wall

Removing the wall between a closed-off kitchen and the living area — the single most transformative change available in the region's 1970s and '80s floor plans.

Typically involves: structural assessment, properly sized header and load path, rerouting any electrical or plumbing in the wall, ceiling and flooring repair across the old wall line, permitting.
Best when: the house feels chopped up and dark.

Bathroom

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Replacing an unused garden tub with a larger tile walk-in shower — one of the most common requests we get, and usually a far better use of the square footage.

Typically involves: tub removal, drain relocation, waterproofing and pan build, tile, glass, and often blocking for future grab bars.
Best when: the tub goes unused and the shower is cramped.

Bathroom

The Aging-in-Place Bath

A bathroom rebuilt for staying in the house long term: curbless or low-threshold entry, blocking in the walls for grab bars, comfort-height fixtures, better lighting, and a wider doorway.

Typically involves: full gut, floor framing modification for a curbless entry, waterproofing, and door reframing.
Best when: planned before it's needed — retrofitting later costs considerably more.

Whole Home

The Multi-Room Renovation

Kitchen, baths, flooring, and trim addressed together across the house, phased so it stays livable throughout.

Typically involves: sequenced zones, dust containment, a working kitchen and bathroom maintained at all times, and a selections schedule driven by material lead times.
Best when: you've just bought the house, or you're finally doing it all at once.

Carpentry

Built-Ins & Millwork

Shelving flanking a fireplace, a closet system that doubles usable space, a cedar mantel, or replacing thin builder trim with substantial casing and baseboard.

Typically involves: measuring and scribing to out-of-square walls, shop and on-site work, and a finish schedule that usually sets the timeline.
Best when: nothing off the shelf fits the space.

Flooring

Whole-Floor Replacement

Pulling dated carpet and tile throughout the main living areas and running one continuous floor, usually luxury vinyl plank or tile.

Typically involves: removal and disposal, subfloor leveling, underlayment, undercut door casings, transitions, and baseboard reinstallation.
Best when: you have three different floor materials meeting in awkward places.

Handyman

The Punch List

Everything on the refrigerator list handled in a single visit — drywall patches, sticking doors, fixture swaps, loose trim, mounting, and the rest.

Typically involves: one scheduled visit, batched materials, and a single itemized invoice.
Best when: you're prepping to sell, turning over a rental, or just done looking at it.

Want to see the work?

Photographs only tell you so much — lighting flatters, and the parts that matter most in a remodel are the parts a camera can't see. The better test is talking to someone whose house we've worked on.

When we come out to give you an estimate, ask for references. We're glad to point you toward past customers in the area who can tell you what it was actually like having us in their home: whether we showed up when we said we would, whether the estimate held, and how we handled it when something unexpected turned up.

Have a project that isn't on this list? These are the common ones, not the limits. Call 830-285-3509 and describe what you're thinking about — if it's something we shouldn't take on, we'll tell you that too.
