Home Improvement

Home improvement, depending on the project, can be a very large expenditure and time commitment. I know from personal experience after just completing a 6-month demolition and rebuilding of over half our house. In our home improvement project, we demolished the existing kitchen, living room, family room, kitchenette, entryway and huge internal wood-burning fireplace. The fireplace was in an internal wall that opened up into both the living room and family room.

We tore out the existing internal and external walls everywhere except for the bedrooms and bathrooms. Next, we expanded the living area of the house by approximately 800 square feet and built a completely new and modern kitchen, great room, formal dining room, entryway, laundry room and hallway. We raised the ceiling (put in coffered ceilings) in the great room, dining room and entryway.

The kitchen cabinets were fabricated out of natural cherry wood and a beautiful granite was selected and installed on the new kitchen counter and huge kitchen island. We installed brand new appliances in the entire kitchen and laundry room.

In addition, we replaced the entire house wood floor with a new natural oak wood floor. Next we tore off the entire old roof and replace with a brand new top of the line 50-year Presidential roof.

We ripped out both the backyard and frontyard grass (in terrible condition) and replaced with new sod. The entire land area was also landscaped. At this time and place, my wife and I are very happy with the finished results and our new home improvement project.
