Remodel

Whole-house remodels

Full interior transformations, including wall moves and layout changes.

Kitchens & baths

Cabinetry, tile, fixtures, and finishes — with clear allowances for the pieces you pick.

What we’re building now — and how each one turns out.

Covered Patio & Outdoor Living

Jersey Shore, NJ Completed

A full outdoor living build: stone knee walls, black wood posts, a vaulted ceiling with skylights, and a grill corner — taken from open framing to the finished space below. Drag the handle to compare the framing stage with the finished product.

During Finished

Every project we run gets photographed along the way — when the work wraps up, the finished photos take the lead, just like this one.

The finished outdoor kitchen — stone countertops and a built-in grill set in dark cabinets against the stone wall, under the finished black header

Home Addition & Sunroom

Jersey Shore, NJ Completed

A new rear addition that reads as a sunroom: brown vertical siding, oversized black-framed windows, and its own gabled roof tied into the house — a bright new room looking straight out over the back yard.

The finished home addition from across the yard — brown vertical siding, large black-framed windows, and string lights over the lawn
Across the yard — vertical siding & big windows

Where it started: the crew at work on the addition’s fresh concrete slab, right up against the Tyvek-wrapped house — the earliest stage of this build, foundation poured and sill work about to begin.

White Vinyl Privacy Fence & Gate

Pool House Transformation

Jersey Shore, NJ Completed

The same backyard pool house, completely re-sided: plain yellow siding out, modern vertical siding with warm wood paneling, black-trimmed glass doors, and exterior lighting in. Drag the handle to compare before and after — same building, same pool, new face.

The pool house before — plain yellow siding, a single white door, and one small window beside the pool

Before Finished

Bathroom Remodel — Walk-In Tile Shower

Jersey Shore, NJ Completed

A full bathroom gut turned into a walk-in shower in large-format gray tile with a hex mosaic floor, brushed-nickel fixtures, and the window kept right where it was. Drag the handle to compare the rough-in — purple board up and the shower pan set — with the finished room.

The same bathroom during the remodel — purple wall board, shower backer board, and the shower pan rough-in under the window

Finished kitchen remodel — white shaker cabinets, navy blue subway-tile backsplash, stainless steel fridge, dishwasher and gas range, a glass pendant light, and light wood floors

Entry, Staircase & Hallway

Jersey Shore, NJ Completed

A finished front entry built around the staircase: white balusters and newel posts with a black handrail, dark wood treads, and dark hardwood floors, set against gray walls with white panel trim — a chandelier overhead and the console table tucked under the stairs. The hallway off the entry carries the same gray-and-white palette, with the same dark hardwood running continuously through it, under a geometric pendant light, with the dining room through the doorway.

Kitchen Remodel — Taupe Cabinets & Brass Hardware

Jersey Shore, NJ Completed

A second finished kitchen, in a warmer palette: taupe cabinets with brass hardware, a white quartz island under two glass pendant lights, a white tile range hood, under-cabinet lighting, and a run of windows over the sinks — with light tile floors running wall to wall.

Finished bathroom — tub with sliding glass shower doors and green-gray subway tile, white vanity and toilet, and light gray floor tile

Bathroom Remodel — Rough-In to Tile

Jersey Shore, NJ In progress

A different bathroom, followed through the messy middle: GoBoard backer board up and the shower floor roughed in first, then large-format marble-look tile on the walls, a tiled niche, and a penny-round shower floor — leveling clips still in and fixtures still to come, with the beadboard wainscoting and window kept as they were. Drag the handle to run the progression.

The bathroom at rough-in — gray GoBoard backer board on the shower walls, the shower floor and drain roughed in, and drop cloths over the fixtures

Basement Playroom & Custom Playhouse

Jersey Shore, NJ Completed

A basement turned into a kids’ playroom around a built-in playhouse wall — arched openings with orange and green trim, a loft with a ladder, and a bright orange slide — over light wood-look floors with recessed lighting throughout.

Basement Playroom — Wood-Slat Playhouse

Jersey Shore, NJ In progress

A second basement playroom with a completely different playhouse: a wood-slat panel wall with arched cubbies across the top, a scalloped-awning play counter below, and a bright orange slide alongside, over light wood-look floors with recessed lighting. Below it, the same playhouse at bare framing — loft studs up, plywood still leaning against it.

Post & Railing Replacement — PVC Composite

Completed

On this house, our work was the posts and railings only: we replaced the post wraps and handrails with white maintenance-free PVC composite — on the upper balcony, the rooftop railing, and the porch. No wood, nothing to paint or rot.

Deck Rebuild — Composite Mahogany, Picture-Framed

Jersey Shore, NJ Completed

A full rebuild of the raised deck on the blue house, not just a facelift: the deck was restructured with new footings set to meet code, then re-decked in composite mahogany decking with a picture-frame border, finished with new white railings and white PVC horizontal lattice closing in the underside where the old diagonal lattice was. Drag the handle to compare the before — old lattice and tools still parked underneath — with the finished job.

Outdoor Shower Enclosure

Jersey Shore, NJ Completed
Finished white vinyl outdoor shower enclosure with a pergola-style top, built beside the deck stairs

A white vinyl outdoor shower enclosure tucked beside the deck stairs — full-height privacy panels under a pergola-style top, so the post-beach rinse-off stays private and the enclosure never needs paint.

Front Steps — Brick & Stone

Jersey Shore, NJ Completed

A new front entry built to last: red-brick risers and side walls with wide gray stone treads and stone-capped cheek walls — five solid steps up to the front door, pointed clean and ready for shore weather.

Finished front steps — red-brick risers and side walls with wide gray stone treads, leading up to a white front door

Basement Living Room

Jersey Shore, NJ Completed

The living room of a full basement remodel that also includes a half bath and a dry bar: a drop ceiling with recessed lights, a fluted accent wall behind a white built-in media cabinet, and wood-look floors running the length of the room — a sectional in place and the space ready to use.

Bathroom Remodel — Herringbone Tile

Jersey Shore, NJ Completed

A finished bath anchored by dark herringbone tile floors: a glass shower with a penny-round floor and brass hardware, a wood vanity with a stone top, and a window over the toilet. The same herringbone tile carries into the entry hallway, past a built-in bench with cubbies — one floor tying the two rooms together.

Craftsmanship Detail — Copper Vent

Jersey Shore, NJ Completed
Custom copper vent hood mounted on a stucco wall — folded and soldered copper with a clean mounting panel

The details are the job. This custom copper vent hood sits on a stucco wall — folded, fitted, and finished clean, the kind of metalwork that gets noticed up close and holds up for decades.

It’s the same standard we bring to the big work: measure twice, fit it right, and leave edges a customer can run a hand over.

House Exterior — Navy Shakes & Board-and-Batten

Jersey Shore, NJ Completed

A two-story exterior done in two textures: navy blue shingle siding upstairs, white board-and-batten downstairs, with white trim tying them together — white railings and entry stairs out front and a brick paver driveway below. Drag the handle to compare the house mid-work — crew on the front steps, saw and ladders out, window stickers still on — with the finished home.

Composite Deck — Glass-Panel Railings

Jersey Shore, NJ Completed

A raised brown composite deck wrapped in white railings with glass panels, so the view stays open from the house to the pool. Wide steps drop to a paver patio below, with a stone wall closing in the far side and matching brown skirting under the deck.

The finished composite deck from the patio side — brown decking, white railings with glass panels, wide steps, a paver patio below, and a stone wall at the far end

Bagel Shop Fit-Out — Bagel O’ Brick

A completed commercial fit-out: the storefront door and window graphics, the service counter — a run of gray cabinets under the menu boards — and the kitchen line fitted out behind it, all finished. The photos below were taken during construction, not of the finished shop.
