🏡 FROM THE EXTERIOR TO THE INTERIOR: THE FINISHING DETAILS TAKE SHAPE

Our last update followed this home from footings to framing and eventually to siding. Now, it’s time to step inside and see how the interior is coming together. There’s a lot happening at this stage, with insulation, drywall, trim, paint, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, and stonework all moving forward.

Insulation & Drywall
The home has been insulated with wet-blown cellulose insulation, and drywall is now being delivered as the interior spaces begin to take shape.
The Fireplace Takes Center Stage
This is a wood-burning fireplace, which explains the large red fire-protection board surrounding the firebox. The trim carpenter is working on the built-ins and mantel, although the original mantel will eventually be replaced with a new design. Because the mantel is located close to the firebox, the new concrete mantel must be non-combustible. Stonework will complete the fireplace surround and give it its finished appearance.
Trim, Paint & Cabinetry
The painter is working through the stained areas along with the walls and trim. Meanwhile, cabinet doors have been ordered for the lower cabinets on either side of the fireplace—another detail that will help pull the room together.
Flooring Goes In
The engineered wood flooring has been installed, and protective paper has been put down to keep those new floors protected while the remaining construction work continues.

Into the Kitchen
The kitchen is making great progress, too. The countertops are installed and the backsplash is complete, with only the range hood still waiting to be installed.

And finally, stepping back outside gives us another great feature of this property—the pond located directly south of the new home. The setting is just as important as the home itself, and this view will be something the homeowners get to enjoy for years to come.

More progress to come as this Flint Hills home gets closer to completion! 🏡

From Footings to Framing—and Now Siding! 🏡

This home build got underway late last year, and as it gets closer to completion, we’re excited to start sharing much more of the project and the progress along the way.

One of the fun parts of looking back is seeing the changing seasons in just one photo. When the roof was originally completed, winter arrived with a fresh blanket of snow. ❄️ The home faces east, so the finished homeowners will have a wonderful view for beautiful morning sunrises! 🌅

Here’s a look at the progress:
🔨 Footings formed and ready to pour
The foundation work begins with the footings formed and prepared for concrete.
🏗️ Footings poured
Lines were snapped to show exactly where the foundation walls would be poured.
🧱 Foundation walls poured
The walls are poured, with the forms actively being stripped away.
🚜 Roof trusses going up
The framers are hard at work setting the roof trusses and bringing the home to life.
🏠 Ready for roofing and siding
Two different angles show the home fully framed and ready for the next major stages.
❄️ Roof on—and then it snowed!
A great reminder that this project has truly progressed through the seasons.
✨ Siding and garage doors installed
The exterior is really starting to take shape, and the home is getting closer to its finished appearance.

There’s still plenty more to come as this home moves toward completion. More updates coming shortly!

The transformation is taking shape! In this latest construction update, the exterior masonry work has now been completed, giving the home its finished structural appearance while preparing it for the next major milestone. Inside, our team has also begun hanging drywall, bringing each room to life and making it much easier to visualize the finished spaces.



Up next is flatwork, another critical phase of construction. In the building industry, flatwork refers to poured, horizontal concrete surfaces that are installed on a flat plane. This includes garage and basement slabs, as well as exterior features such as driveways, sidewalks, patios, and walkways. While it may seem straightforward, quality flatwork requires grading, proper reinforcement, precise forming, and expert finishing to ensure long-term durability and appearance.

🏡 From Detached Garage to Stunning Living Space

Sometimes the best remodeling projects don't start with a blank slate—they start with seeing potential where others see problems.

This Wichita transformation turned a distressed property into a beautiful, functional home by connecting a detached garage with a dramatic new vaulted-ceiling addition. The result? A bright, open living space filled with natural light that looks like it was always meant to be part of the original home.

Outside, architectural details—including Douglas Fir porch posts, a warm car siding porch ceiling, and LP® SmartSide® board and batten siding—tie everything together into one cohesive design.

📸 But the finished photos are only part of the story.

Roof shingles being delivered and staged, while the framing crew completes the soffit work. The plumber is installing roof vent pipes before shingling so they can be properly flashed in place, which is a more efficient process, rather than cutting them in later.

Check it out. ICF stands for insulated concrete forms- effectively foam legos that fit together and are then filled with concrete, creating a very efficient home that is very well insulated. A video of this process, along with a Matterport walk through are included. This was a project we are proud of.
