Whether you are looking for a new floor for aesthetic purposes or to repair damaged flooring, there is always a time when new flooring is necessary.  It is inevitable to have normal wear and tear.  From all of the options for flooring, you can create a modern, contemporary, vintage, or whatever look you desire, based on the following materials:

• Carpet
• Wood
• Cork
• Laminate
• Linoleum
• Stone
• Tile
• Vinyl

For different rooms, you may choose to have different types of flooring.  For example, you may want to have carpet in bedrooms and hardwood floors in the kitchen and dining room.  In rooms where you expect to have a lot of traffic, a hard surface is probably a safer choice for cleaning purposes and maintenance.   We work with all flooring types, and our professionals are equipped to get your project started. Some different types of floors we work with:

• Tile Floors Demo and Installation
• Click-lock Laminate and Engineering Wood Installation
• Carpet Installation
• Baseboards Replacement and Installation

Hardwood and Bamboo Refinish

Bamboo is a grass that is shredded and then engineered and pressed back into the wood-like flooring. Bamboo is durable and provides a clean, modern look, which has become more popular over the past couple of decades.  Hardwood is also a beautiful option and a favorite classic.  With a variety of types and colors, we will discuss the pros and cons of each to suit your homes’ needs.

Luxury Vinyl Tile and Vinyl Plank

Popular in laundry rooms, bathrooms, and kitchens, vinyl flooring offers great potential, especially while on a budget.  Known for its outstanding durability, it can withhold a lot of in-and-out traffic while being scratch and dent resistant. One of the benefits of luxury vinyl flooring is that it dramatically reduces sound, so it is a beautiful option if you have pets or children.  Vinyl flooring is also easily maintained, although it requires a smooth surface underneath, so be sure to have a pro install it and do repairs. 

Subfloor Damage Repair

Underneath your beautiful flooring, lays a subfloor.  Made up of wood, plywood, or concrete, your subflooring is hidden from the eye and will determined by the top layer of flooring, which is the part you will see.   Ever considered cork flooring?  A versatile and aesthetically controversial option provides soft comfort on the feet and adds an acoustic layer for sound as well as warmth. 

Leveling

Ever wondered if your floor is not even and level?  You might have noticed one of the common signs that something is “off.”  If you’ve ever experienced doors or windows that don’t close properly or you begin to see visible cracks in the walls and ceiling, you can safely guess it’s because of unlevelled flooring.

Cement Slab Repair

No one wants to “step on a crack and break your …” I don’t dare say it.  Those uneven cracks on the concrete can be a result of weather, natural shifts in the ground, and overuse.  They can also be easily repaired in a matter of sealing the crack, cleaning the slab, applying primer, apply a leveler, and walla – new concrete!

Complete Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling Services

They say the kitchen is always the life of the party.  People gather around food, and it’s where families come together, holidays prepared, and cooking skills come to life.  The kitchen design is one of the most important to think about.  There should be a sense of order in the kitchen, and among the millions of ways to style a kitchen, we can make your kitchen remodel in a way that makes the most sense to your lifestyle.  

Complete Design and Material Selection

Consider the workflow that takes place in the kitchen.  Moving from the refrigerator, to counter, to sink – it should have an orderly design. Once the layout of your kitchen is planned out, the next step is to select materials to use for the cabinets, countertops, tiles, flooring, lighting, etc. Our kitchen remodeling contractors can discuss options that are to your liking and most suitable for your home. 

Plans, Engineering and Permit Pulling Service

Not sure if a permit is required for your home remodeling project?  That’s what we’re here for.  The person who pulls the permit is the one responsible for the work being done.  We provide a service to pull the proper permits to ensure you are covered while completing your home remodel project.  Want to do it on your own?  No problem, we will discuss your remodel plans and engineering, so you know which permits are required. 

Your bathroom is the most visited room in the house, for both the homeowners and visitors.  Often the design of a bathroom is catered to create comfort and cleanliness. However, a well-designed bathroom can also add value to your property.  Once the style/design is planned, there may be required changes to the plumbing system and all of which should be handled by our professionals.  Plumbing and electrical might add to your consideration when designing the bathroom. Other things to consider as you plan your bathroom and kitchen remodel:

• Budget– As most of us are, sticking to a remodel budget is important, and if you want to stick to it, consider limiting and rewiring or plumbing, which can add extra costs.  That being said, you will want to design your remodel based on the current engineering of the home. 
• Ventilation– Mold buildup is a top concern, and proper ventilation is vital to avoid it.  Built-in fans in the kitchen and bathroom will be installed with all remodel projects.
• Lighting– Bathrooms don’t get a lot of natural light, for more privacy, so carefully planning your lighting adds character and comfort to the room. A frosted or tinted window can add more natural light.  Kitchens can add more windows or else install a brighter lighting system.
• Adequate Drainage– No one wants to deal with improper drainage in the bath, shower, sinks, and toilet.  Adequate flooring to prevent leaks is also an important consideration, all of which we will discuss in planning your bathroom and kitchen remodel.

Framing and Wall Removal

Redesigning the bathroom or kitchen can mean new wiring, ventilation, and/or plumbing, therefor wall removal and re-framing will likely take place.  Another reason we might decide to remove a wall is to open up space such as the kitchen or dining room to create the style and appeal that you desire for your home.  Depending on the style of kitchen and bathroom you choose, additional installations will take place, such as new cabinetry, countertops, backsplash tiles, etc.  All have a unique style and function, so don’t forget to ask us about your options!

• Cabinet Installation (custom, semi-custom, pre-fab)
• Tile Installation (floors, walls, and backsplash)
• Counter Top Fabrication and Installation (quartz, granite, marble)

Custom Glass Doors Installation

Custom glass doors add a significant element to the interior decor of your home.  Adding a customized glass door to showers is an elegant way to improve the bathroom, and when added to an important room in the house, glass doors provide the illusion of openness and space.  We have a specialist on our team that does just this and can advise on customized glass door additions.

Amongst the many types of general construction projects we take on, we are also always helping clients create a “greener” home.  Remodeling and retrofitting your home significantly improves energy efficiency, and there are many ways to achieve this.  Some of which are as follows:

Rewiring

Updating the electrical system in your home provides a safety measure and allows you to supply modern-day energy demands.  Older systems are too weak for today’s electrical usage, and an upgrade not only charges your smart devices faster, but it also prevents power outages.  Plus, when you rewire, you get to choose where your new outlets will be for easy accessibility! 

Energy Efficient HVAC Systems – Upgrade, Re-locate and Install

The HVAC system is to help control the conditions in your home to create a comfortable environment through heating and cooling.  With an energy-efficient system, you save money and energy in the long run. 

Energy-Efficient Tankless Water Heater Installation

Tankless water heaters can be up to 15% more energy efficient.  Tankless water heaters waste less water by providing hot water immediately.

LED Lighting

LED bulbs save electricity in the home by staying cool when used.  LED lights convert approximately 95% of energy into light, while only 5% is used as heat.  In the long run, you save more money for replacements to happen less often. 

Smart Home Solutions

Live more conveniently by managing all your home appliances from one place, maximize the security of your home, and have remote capabilities to control home functions. 

Other Home Services

Although home renovations are steadily becoming more energy-efficient and “smart,” there are still foundational aspects to keep your home strong and safe.  Our services include but are not limited to:

Repiping

Reasons for repiping your home include: your home is older, water discoloration, have had pipe leaks in the past, or consistent low water pressure.  Hiring a trusted professional for this type of major plumbing repair is preferred over attempting this as a DIY project. 

Foundation and Seismic Retrofit

If your property was built in the last 25 years, you might not need to worry so much about the foundation of your home, for it was likely built to be more resilient against earthquakes.  Earthquakes aren’t the only thing to consider.  The ground is adjusting through weather and time, and there are a few variables that might support a foundation and seismic retrofit.  Is your house built on a hill, valley floor, near a water source (lake, river) or drainage basin?  All of these qualify for an inspection of the home foundation for possible retrofit. 

 Raised Foundation Piers Repair and Support

With many benefits to having a raised foundation for your home, it also makes it easier for home repairs.  With the ever-changing ground around your home, sometimes the piers need to be repaired and secured.  Foundation cracks can lead to major structural problems for your home.  Without tearing down the home to rebuild from scratch, luckily, there are ways to repair foundation settlement (or vertical displacement) and cracks.
