First time homeowners personal touch

🤕 Symptoms: -Tight, restrictive layout with dividing walls blocking natural flow -Living room and kitchen disconnected, cutting off usable space -Basement laundry setup taking up valuable square footage -Non-code-compliant basement bedroom lacking egress -Uneven traffic flow from room to room -Septic line showing signs of failure with limited exterior access 🩺 Diagnosis: The home had potential but was locked into an outdated rhythm. Energy couldn’t move freely — too many walls, not enough flow. At the same time, some foundational concerns were starting to rise, literally from underground. The layout needed to be opened, realigned, and grounded in practicality, while keeping the project aligned with the homeowner’s budget and long-term vision. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Removed half the kitchen wall and a full living/bedroom dividing wall to create an open floor plan -Reinforced the kitchen wall cutout and transformed it into a bar-height dining surface -Installed LifeProof floating vinyl plank flooring throughout the upper floor — durable, waterproof, and clean -Converted the basement laundry room into a full bathroom, complete with shower, vanity, and toilet -Repurposed an adjacent closet into a functional laundry space -Installed a new basement egress window to bring the bedroom up to code and add natural light -Excavated the property to access the failing line and replaced the main drain pipe from septic to house -Added a septic riser extension to make future maintenance faster and safer -Finished with trim, drywall, and cosmetic touches to lock in a clean, cohesive look 💡 Prognosis: Once we opened this layout, the energy changed — literally. Walls block more than footsteps. They block light, airflow, and the way a space makes you feel. With better flow, better light, and now a solid septic system, this house is no longer stuck — and neither is the person living in it.

Car Garage w/loft & Home garage & Office Transformation

Patient: Multi-functional garages and home office setup with aged, underutilized zones Referred by: Homeowner looking to turn raw garage space into clean storage + living support, and refresh home office finish 🤕 Symptoms: -Detached garage structure installed with no insulation or finishes -Existing house garage was cluttered, moisture-stained, and poorly surfaced -Office had worn trim, cosmetic damage, and outdated layout details -Storage needs were growing — but square footage was under-leveraged 🩺 Diagnosis: The detached garage was an unfinished shell — framed but empty inside. It needed full insulation, drywall, ceiling, loft framing, and finish work to become usable. The house garage showed classic wear: unsealed floor, stained lower walls, and brittle ceiling seams. And the office? Patchy walls, outdated trim, and layout issues that affected flow. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Frame and build a 10’x13’ elevated loft platform inside the large garage -Fully insulate and sheetrock walls + ceiling (1800 sq ft) -Tape, mud, prime, and paint all surfaces (walls, ceiling, trim) -Install LifeProof vinyl plank flooring and quarter round in loft -Mount 80" TV and soundbar (client-supplied) In the house garage: -Repair ceiling board fasteners and re-tape seams -Skim damaged walls and repaint entire garage -Clean, prep, and apply gray floor coating over 230 sq ft -Scrape and seal concrete wall with Drylok (124 sq ft) -Frame, insulate, and finish small panel above garage door In the office: -Fix all corners with joint compound; skim walls -Paint walls, 4 doors, trim, and wood feature wall behind workstation -Lower chair rail and install approx. 48’ of crown molding -Replace baseboard covers (3 long, 2 end caps, 1 corner unit) 💡 Prognosis: This space is now balanced and optimized. The loft brings vertical utility and style. The garages are crisp, dry, and functional. And the office? Clean lines, refreshed flow, and no more mismatched finishes. From rough shell to refined support zone — this transformation delivered serious ROI on livability and layout.

Fresh start

Patient: Old farm house with a stale feel 🤕 Symptoms: -Sinking kitchen floor with visible sloping and soft spots -Cracked and aged plaster throughout bedrooms and hallways -Damaged chimney stack showing wear and water intrusion -Railings and stairs aged, faded, and in need of new finish -Closed-off floor plan creating tight, outdated living spaces -One bedroom with unserviceable flooring; another with hardwood worn thin -Overall visual fatigue — surfaces tired, flow restricted 🩺 Diagnosis: The home had good bones, but the structural heart of the kitchen was failing. Sill plates and floor joists had weakened with age and moisture, making it unsafe to install new finishes. The rest of the home reflected time and neglect — not from abuse, just from use. It needed a combination of structural rehab and surface renewal to carry the owner into the next chapter, without losing the house's soul. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Repaired and replaced damaged sill plates and joists beneath the kitchen -Installed new subflooring to stabilize and prep for surface work -Opened the kitchen into the living area to modernize the floor plan and allow better flow -Built a bar-height countertop along the former kitchen wall for casual dining and spatial balance -Installed all new kitchen cabinets, appliances, and a farmhouse sink for function and style -Repaired existing plaster walls in both bedrooms -One bedroom received vinyl plank floating flooring; the other had its original hardwood floors refinished -Repainted stair railings and second-floor hallway to freshen vertical circulation -Repaired and resealed chimney to restore integrity and stop moisture entry -Tied in all new trim, paint, and surface finishes for clean lines and cohesion throughout 💡 Prognosis: With the structure reset from the sill plates up, this house is no longer working against its people. Before, that sloped floor was stealing stability. Cracked plaster and dark corners drag energy down. Now it flows, feels fresh, and respects both the client’s memory and their future. Restoring this house wasn’t just practical — it was medicinal.

1st home --> vacation home

🤕 Symptoms: -Outdated vinyl siding and soffits showing signs of fatigue -Cracked or compromised fascia and wood structure behind trim -A closed-off kitchen layout with poor flow and limited overhead space -Dated bathroom in need of full gut and rebuild -Client needed work completed while he remained out of state managing his own projects -The home needed modern upgrades without losing its family-rooted foundation 🩺 Diagnosis: This house had history — not just wear and tear. It had been lived in, loved, and left behind by time. The finishes were stuck in an older era, and the kitchen layout restricted both air and movement. The client, a builder himself, began the job by replacing the windows, working shoulder to shoulder with me on-site. It wasn’t long before he saw the care I put into every cut, every decision. That trust opened the door to do things right, from the siding to the structure, while he focused on his own clients back in Florida. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Fully removed and replaced all vinyl siding for a clean, weather-sealed exterior -Rebuilt wood framework behind the soffits and fascia, then installed new vinyl soffits and aluminum trim --Custom cut and installed aluminum flashing to all doors, windows, and fascia boards for protection and polish -Fully demoed the bathroom down to the framing and subfloor for a true restart -Removed all kitchen cabinetry and demoed a structural wall -Installed a new post and beam system to open the ceiling layout and enhance the space -Coordinated the install of new 6" black gutters and leaders with Gutter Tech 845-463-2578 (shout out to Adam — tell him I sent ya) 💡 Prognosis: The home now sits proudly with a sealed exterior, a refreshed flow, and a modern but grounded energy inside. What started as a few updates became a full evolution, and the client didn’t need to look over my shoulder to know it was being done right. The trust was mutual, and the result speaks for itself — a childhood home reborn into a vacation-ready retreat.

Recoup chicken coop!

🤕 Symptoms: -Rotted structural footings and compromised framing -Roof collapse due to years of moisture exposure and neglect -Drafty, poorly installed windows and wide entry gaps from prior work -Animal intrusion from underneath, making the space unsanitary and unsafe -Interior unsuited for storage, work, or retreat — cold, dark, and exposed 🩺 Diagnosis & Evaluation: This coop wasn’t just old — it was forgotten. Animals had made their home beneath it, the roof had failed, and the structure was hanging on by soft studs and wishful thinking. But beneath the decay was potential. The bones were still whispering, “fix me right.” Full demo wasn’t needed. Revival was. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Lifted the structure and replaced all pressure-treated footings -Added a central beam + footing to support flooring long-term -Reframed damaged walls and sealed all animal entry points -Installed 3" rigid foam board insulation + spray foam sealant in all wall cavities -Sheathed the walls with DenseGlass, then taped, painted, and finished for moisture resistance -Fully rebuilt roof system and added two skylights to invite natural light -Reconstructed soffits and fascia to prevent water intrusion and future rot Interior Work Included: -Laid new cedar plank flooring over original subfloor -Fabricated custom cedar desk and built-in shelving -Wrapped all window/door trim in cedar for character and protection -Light touch-up paint on exterior — enough to refresh, not erase its history 💡 Prognosis: Now this coop is more than functional — it’s poetic. What was once an afterthought is now a fully restored, insulated, light-filled retreat. Warm in winter, dry in spring, sealed year-round. Whether it’s storing tools, housing projects, or just offering peace — this space is now alive again.

Full Exterior Refresh

This project shows the full transformation of a dated split-level home that received an overdue exterior overhaul—from aluminum siding removal to structural deck repair. 🩺Symptoms: The aging aluminum siding had oxidized, dented, and lost its weatherproofing over the years. Paint was flaking off the foundation, the roof was curling at the edges, and the back deck looked structurally uncertain. Window frames and trim lacked proper sealing or protection. Diagnosis & Evaluation: The aluminum cladding, once a modern solution, had become a liability. It lacked insulation value, showed surface deterioration, and didn’t offer the crisp aesthetic the homeowners were looking for. The whole home needed re-wrapping—both visually and functionally. 🛠️ Treatment Plan (What We Performed): -Removed all existing aluminum siding and prepped for full vinyl replacement with upgraded underlayment -Installed brand new Owens Corning Duration shingles featuring high-wind resistance and SureNail technology -Wrapped all exposed wood window trim with clean-cut aluminum coil for a long-lasting, maintenance-free finish -Applied aluminum wrap to garage door frames for visual continuity -Repaired foundation cracks and applied a fresh coat of foundation paint for water resistance and a polished base -Installed two new basement windows to improve thermal performance and security -Fully repaired, restructured, and stained the backyard deck, including stairs -Installed new soffit and fascia for airflow, pest resistance, and complete siding integration -Added new shutters to reinforce clean symmetry and style 💡 Result: A polished, energy-efficient exterior that dramatically boosts curb appeal. Every detail—from the crisp blue siding to the protected trim—was planned for longevity and balanced aesthetics. Lorna and Lascoe now have a home that feels truly renewed.

Market Ready Condo Transformation

🤕 Symptoms: -Water damage in ceilings and behind fixtures -Mold and rot around slider door and utility spaces -Missing drywall and trim throughout unit -Outdated wallpaper, hardware, and patchwork repairs -Worn-down surfaces in high-traffic areas -Poorly sealed exterior slider, leaking into substructure -Unfinished access to mechanicals (heater, plumbing) -Mismatched or incomplete baseboards and fixtures -General appearance not ready for market 🩺 Diagnosis: This condo had what we call “silent sabotage” — hidden moisture damage, outdated repairs, and a general mismatch of finishes that quietly drained appeal and value. From ceiling leaks to unsealed walls, every room needed something. It wasn’t about flash—it was about function, finish, and future value. The mission? Strip it down, smooth it out, seal it up, and get it market ready. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: 🔧 Bathroom (8'x5'): -Removed 8 sq ft of damaged ceiling sheetrock and insulation, replaced and taped seams -Fully skim-coated walls and ceiling after wallpaper removal for a smooth surface -Primed with 2 coats of Kilz and applied fresh paint throughout -Replaced 12 sq ft of rotted drywall behind heater with fresh board and triple skim -Installed new trim, door hardware, patched latch irregularities 🔧 Bedroom (11'x12') + Closet (2'x8'): -Patched and skimmed ceiling, spot primed -Installed 5’ of base molding, puttied and sanded -Repaired closet doors, added a 4’ wire shelf -Patched, primed, and painted closet interior -Painted walls, ceiling, doors, and trim with crisp finish -Installed matching hardware and adjusted latch fit 🔧 Kitchen: -Installed 40 sq ft of sheetrock under bar, taped, skimmed, and primed -Repaired wall after mirror removal and patched behind washer/dryer -Cut and built custom 30”x24” access panel to water heater -Installed new bar board (5/4"x10"x8'), painted for durability 🔧 Living Room: -Skimmed and spot primed wall above heater -Installed approx. 20’ of 5½” base molding throughout 🎨 Whole Open Area (Living Room + Kitchen, 26'x14'): -Painted 364 sq ft of ceiling with 2 coats -Patched nail holes and painted 700 sq ft of wall area with finish coat -Painted all trim and doors (semi-gloss white) -Rehung blind from slider on washer/dryer closet 🚪 Slider Leak Repair: -Built 96 sq ft temporary support wall -Removed slider and framing—replaced with new Andersen 200 Series unit -Replaced rotted framing: king, jack studs, headers, top & bottom plates -Installed 60 sq ft of new sub wall and 70 sq ft exterior siding -Cut and installed 24’ of cedar clapboard -Cleaned and treated mold-affected studs (80 sq ft) -Installed 130 sq ft insulation and vapor barrier -Reinstalled 130 sq ft sheetrock, taped, and primed -Mortared trench under slider and installed all trim 💦 Kitchen Leak Repair: -Reinsulated and sheetrocked 64 sq ft of ceiling -Taped, primed (2x), and blended into surroundings 🧼 Laundry Room Leak Repair: -Removed 30 sq ft of sheetrock and cleaned studs -Installed new board, taped, primed, and painted (2 coats) 💡 Prognosis: After treating the water damage, rebuilding the framing, and smoothing out every imperfection, this condo finally showed what it was capable of. The layout didn’t change—but the energy did. This unit now flows with confidence and shows with pride. Every room feels intentional, clean, and fully prepped for market. No surprises behind walls. No leaks, no loose ends. Just a solid, finished, ready-to-sell home.
