✔️ Custom Closet Build-out ✔️

Started with a blank slate and built out this custom designed closet. We built the tower cabinet off-site in the shop and brought it over to build around. Then we marked out and built out all the shelving with hanging rods + two adjustable shoe racks.

Finally we painted everything with lacquer paint

Load bearing wall removals + a 2nd story.
-
Quite often clients request removing 1 or 2 load-bearing walls to create an open concept, but also have a 2nd story or bonus room above that space. Or sometimes the HVAC unit/ducting with minimal attic space could be in the way. In those situations it’s still possible, but one element to take into consideration is the amount of space we are able to push the new LVL support beams up against the 2nd story floor.
-
Usually we have between 10-12” of available space to push up the new support beams, which often range from 16-18” high. That creates an area that extends down below the 1st floor ceiling. The way we handle that is by capping those LVL beams in either maple or oak wood to create a solid beam look, while concealing the LVL’s.
-
On the first 2 examples there is a 2nd and 3rd story above the space & multiple walls were removed.

From an old whirlpool bath tub to an awesome walk-in shower!

This one was gutted down and all plumbing rerouted to align with the new design. We installed a 3-way diverter to allow the rain head to work on its on, just the wand on its own or both at once.

Added a waterfall quartz with miter edge across the top, down the pony wall and on top of the curb to tie it into the custom vanity cabinet we built.

Custom glass splash panel to align with the tile and this one is ready to go.

Custom cabinet and bar extension into the dining area.

My client wanted to extend into the dining area and gain some additional cabinet & counter space in their new home, so we tied into the originals, matched the door and drawer design and made it happen.

Installed “Cloudy Grey” counters and professionally painted them + all the original cabinets in the kitchen.

Refacing cabinets is an affordable way to upgrade the look of your dated cabinets without breaking the budget.

Custom Built Floating Rift Sawn White Oak Cabinets
-
Rift sawn white is different than regular white oak because of how it is cut. Rift sawn white oak is a cut of white oak lumber with a very straight, linear grain pattern, achieved by sawing the log at a precise angle. Standard white oak is expensive, but rift sawn is even more expensive.
-
We rerouted the plumbing for perfectly centered wall mount faucets into a stone backsplash.
-
L-shaped vanity for her and a counter top tower for towels and other misc items.
-
- Double edged Taj Mahal quartzite
