Bathroom After Remodel
During Remodel Before Remodel Both baths have been totally
updated and a new washer/dryer added upstairs. New subway tile and hex
tile were added to the guest bath. Period bead board was added to both
baths. The entrance to the master bath was moved from the hallway to the
master bedroom.

Living Room After Remodel Before Remodel During Remodel The living room is extremely
spacious with beautiful hardwood floors. Three layers of wallpaper had to
be stripped from nearly every wall in the house and the glue residue had
to be removed. There was a tremendous amount of plaster repair that had to
be done once the wallpaper was removed. Once the carpet was removed along
with all the staples, we had to replace sections of the oak flooring. We
found matching materials in a salvage store so that the new sections would
blend with the original. Opening the front porch added tremendous light to
the room.
