Kitchen Cabinets

We designed the new kitchen cabinets to fit the Owner's needs complete with Hafele inserts for a custom look. The cabinets are made out of plywood with teak veneer on exposed doors, drawings and edges to match the existing furniture.

Can't wait to share the final product!

Before/After Crawl Space & basement access

The existing house had a very small access to a shallow crawl space. The HVAC unit & HWH were barely accessible. 

For the new design, the Owner got a full height gardening area below the addition, we dug out part of the crawl space to create a full height mechanical room, and cleaned the rest of the crawl space and covered it with gravel and protection membrane.

The new deck extends almost the entire length of the house and overlooks the beautiful backyard.

Before/After - Under the deck storage

The existing storage area under the deck was hard to access, shallow and not waterproofed. The new under the deck storage, is easily accessible, has a clearance height ranging from 5'4" to 4'6", and it's waterproofed.

Before/After

The renovation of the house will be complete by the end of this month. Looking back at the pictures we took two years ago it's impressive to see the difference between the ranch house we started and the end result. For the next few weeks, I will post a lot of before and after pictures for your review.

First one is for the deck stair.

We used 2x 6 garapa lumber for the treads and  2x 2 garapa trim for the louvers around it. The steps will have LED strips under and a new metal railing that will be installed next week.
