The project included updating the electrical wiring throughout the house to meet current safety standards. New outlets and switches were installed, and the electrical panel was upgraded to accommodate increased power needs.
Plumbing Updates
The plumbing system overhaul involved replacing old pipes with new, corrosion-resistant ones. Any existing leaks or water damage were repaired, and modern fixtures were installed in bathrooms and the kitchen.
Roof Replacement
The old roofing materials were removed, and any structural damage to the roof frame was repaired. New roofing materials were then installed.
Flooring
The old flooring was removed, surfaces were prepared, and new flooring material was installed. This gave each room a fresh and updated look.
Laundry Room Upgrade
The remodel focused on making the laundry room more functional and aesthetically pleasing. New appliances, cabinets, and a utility sink were added, along with improvements in lighting and ventilation.
Kitchen Renovation
A significant aspect of the remodeling was the kitchen renovation. New cabinets, countertops, a backsplash, and state-of-the-art appliances were installed, transforming the kitchen into a modern and efficient space. The kitchen open plan design removes walls that separate the kitchen from the living area, allowing for an unobstructed flow between the two. This not only gives the home a more spacious ambiance, but it also promotes a sense of togetherness and intimacy between family members. Furthermore, this design provides adequate ventilation and natural light, making the space more comfortable for cooking and daily living. Adding a
Master Bathroom
A new bathroom was constructed, attached to the master bedroom. This included all aspects of bathroom construction – plumbing, electrical work, installation of fixtures like a shower, toilet, and sink, and finishing touches like tiling and painting.
Staircase Remodeling
The existing stairs were either replaced or refinished, and the railing and balusters were updated. This ensured that the staircase met safety standards and enhanced the overall aesthetics.
HVAC System Upgrade
A new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system was installed to improve the home’s energy efficiency and comfort. This upgrade was a key factor in enhancing the overall living environment.
Basement Waterproofing
To prevent water damage and mold growth, the basement was waterproofed. This crucial step protected the home and laid the groundwork for future basement utilization.
The goal of this comprehensive remodeling project was not only to improve the aesthetic appeal of the home but also to enhance its functionality, safety, and efficiency. Each aspect of the renovation contributed significantly to transforming the house into a more comfortable and modern living space.
