We've been busy giving clients their dream rooms, from whole additions to kitchen and bath remodels to new decks and even a solar grid! If you have a project in your home that you'd like to talk to us about, reach out via messenger or give Shawn a call at (518)369-3737. We've got some slots coming up for new projects and we'd love to hear more about your "dream room".

Oh boy, what a crazy summer it’s been, but this addition is really starting to take shape! I can’t wait to see the finishes go in. This will be an awesome new room overlooking the canal and some beautiful gardens (which you can’t see here because we had to dig up a lot of ground for the new foundation).

It’s Demo Day!! Our dear friends had a garage that was literally falling off the house so they asked us if we could rebuild the garage (on a stable foundation) and add an extra “quilting”/family room on the back with an awesome view. Shawn and JR have been waiting anxiously all winter to start this demo. Ella even stopped by yesterday at lunchtime to inspect the preparation work.

Shawn just finished up this bathroom remodel and it looks AMAZING! Who says tiny bathrooms can’t feel luxurious?

While the boys are busy working on a couple projects, here's a look back to one of our first "flips" that wasn't a flip (and took us seven years to finish!) in California. These before and after pics really highlight how much light we brought into the home. We were so happy to get rid of all that wood paneling, and we were even able to repurpose one of the closet doors as a "barn door" for the pantry.

Opening a box of tile to check for damage and color variation is like Christmas morning for me! I can’t wait for these to be used in our dear friends’ bathroom remodel!!

We are not the typical "flippers", we take care and perform quality work to make sure the home is safe, energy efficient, and restored to its former glory, but with a modern style. If you or a friend, family member, neighbor, or acquaintance has wanted to sell a home in need of restoration, we'd love to speak to you! Anyone that provides us with a lead resulting in a purchase will receive $1,000 CASH! Please FEEL FREE TO SHARE THIS. We can't wait to hear from you!
Email [email protected] or call Shawn at (518)369-3737 for an easy, no-obligation, socially distanced consultation.

We’ve got another open house today from 12-2 at 17 Murdock Ave in Glens Falls, in case anyone wants to check out the finished product. After the holidays we may have some time to take on a project or two since we’ve been unable to finalize our next purchase (thanks again COVID!). If you’re considering a home remodel, or just a single room update, message me and we can set up a free consultation. Likewise, if you or someone you know would like to sell your home but don’t want to spend the money on fixing it up first, we’d love to talk to you about it.

One of my favorite things about the Murdock house is the open concept we were able to create between the kitchen and the living room. The living room was an addition at one time and was actually two rooms: a bedroom with a closet (yes, we eliminated a bedroom, but it was so worth it) and the tiniest little room (without a closet) I've ever seen. We took out the wall down the middle of the addition and opened up the wall between the kitchen and the addition by putting in a new header. Now it feels like it was always open! We can't wait for a family to enjoy this space. If you're interested, we're still doing private showings, but I'm sure this home won't last long!

UPDATE: SOLD!
The Murdock house is now on the market and we have an open house Sunday from 12-2pm!
It’s been a long, challenging journey with this house, with more obstacles than we could have ever imagined (hidden foundation and structural issues, bad plumbing AND electrical, a new baby born this summer, and oh yeah, a global pandemic!), but it turned out so beautiful and we know that all of the issues are fixed! We’ve seen so many “flips” done with just a coat of paint and new floors, that is NOT what we did here. We brought this house down to the studs, then repaired the studs, along with everything else!

For sale: $199,000. You will want to check out this custom rehabbed 3 bedroom 2 bath home. A lot of care and attention went into all the details to make this home turn key ready. Way beyond standard upgrades and nothing has been overlooked with all new appliances, kitchen, bathrooms, fresh paint and...

We’re so close to being done!! We’re hoping to go on the market on Black Friday. We’ll have an open house (TBD) but if anyone is in the market for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with an office in a wonderful neighborhood in the Jackson Heights/Glens Falls school district, message me (Diane) and we can set up a private showing.
Carpets were finished yesterday, this is the master with a huge reach-in closet.
