Before the Transformation:
This home, with its vintage charm, was once the epitome of mid-20th-century design. However, over the years, it had succumbed to the ravages of time, leaving it in desperate need of a comprehensive renovation. The original layout, while reflective of its era, featured several inefficiencies and outdated elements that no longer met the needs of a modern household.
Key Areas to Note:
-
Outdated Flooring: The original hardwood floors, though once beautiful, had seen better days. Years of wear and tear had left them scratched, uneven, and dull, detracting from the room's overall appeal.
-
Aged Fixtures: The lighting fixtures and built-in features, such as the fireplace and window trims, were remnants of a bygone era, no longer adding value or style to the space.
-
Inefficient Layout: The previous kitchen layout was cramped, with poorly placed cabinets and countertops, making it difficult to cook or entertain effectively.
-
Structural Wear: The walls, especially around the fireplace and entryways, showed significant signs of neglect, with peeling paint and cracked plaster contributing to the home's dated and worn-out appearance.
These elements painted a clear picture: while the home had good bones and a solid structure, it needed a significant update to bring it into the 21st century without losing its original character.
After the Transformation:
The renovation aimed to modernize the home while respecting and enhancing its original architectural style. The result is a space that seamlessly blends the old with the new, providing the homeowner with a kitchen that is both functional and beautiful.
Key Renovation Highlights:
-
Refined Aesthetic: The updated design retains the home’s original charm by carefully selecting materials and finishes that echo its mid-century roots. For example, the choice of cabinet style and the warm, wood-like countertops complement the vintage feel while adding a modern touch.
-
Open and Airy Layout: We reimagined the kitchen layout to make the most of the space, removing unnecessary partitions and creating a more open flow between the kitchen and adjoining areas. This change not only modernizes the home but also makes it more inviting and practical for everyday use.
-
Enhanced Lighting: Modern recessed lighting was installed throughout the kitchen, replacing the outdated fixtures. This not only brightens the space but also highlights the textures and finishes, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
-
Upgraded Finishes: The introduction of sleek, custom cabinetry and a sophisticated backsplash design brings a contemporary edge to the kitchen. These elements, combined with the new appliances and flooring, elevate the space from functional to exceptional.
-
Attention to Detail: Every aspect of the renovation was thoughtfully executed, from the hardware on the cabinets to the precise alignment of tiles in the backsplash. These details may seem small, but they contribute significantly to the overall polished and cohesive look of the space.
This renovation was more than just a cosmetic update; it was a meticulous transformation that respected the home’s history while adapting it for modern living. The end result is a home that not only looks beautiful but also functions seamlessly for today’s lifestyle. The contrast between the before and after images is a testament to the power of thoughtful design and skilled craftsmanship.

For this project, our goal was to enhance the customer experience by transforming an underutilized section of the establishment into a stylish and functional bar area. The existing space, while cozy, lacked the amenities and layout needed to serve customers efficiently and comfortably.
We meticulously planned and sketched the new bar area, ensuring that it would not only fit seamlessly into the existing design but also elevate the overall atmosphere. The bar was built with all the necessary connections for refrigerators, sinks, and other essential equipment, ensuring that it is fully equipped to handle the demands of a busy establishment. The finished bar area now provides a welcoming and visually appealing space where customers can enjoy their drinks in comfort, enhancing both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the venue.

This project involved the complete transformation of an unfinished shed into a fully functional and customized nail art studio. The space, which originally consisted of bare wooden framing and uninsulated walls, was converted into a professional and comfortable work environment.
We began by fully insulating the structure, adding electrical wiring to support lighting, outlets, and other necessary equipment. The installation of an air conditioning system ensures that the space remains comfortable year-round, creating an ideal environment for both the nail artist and clients. The final result is a beautifully finished and fully equipped nail studio, complete with stylish decor and a layout that enhances both functionality and aesthetic appeal, turning a simple shed into a unique, personalized workspace.

This deck renovation project involved a complete overhaul of a worn-out and deteriorated outdoor space. The original deck showed significant signs of wear, with damaged wood planks and structural issues beneath the surface.
We began by carefully removing all the old wood to assess and repair any damage to the underlying structure, ensuring a safe and stable foundation for the new deck. After making the necessary repairs, we installed new, high-quality wood planks to restore the deck's functionality and aesthetic appeal. The project was completed with a fresh coat of paint, providing a durable and attractive finish that enhances the overall look of the outdoor area. The new deck not only improves the property's appearance but also offers a safe and inviting space for relaxation and entertainment.

In this renovation, we focused on creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing division between the entrance and dining area of a Cuban restaurant, while preserving the vibrant and authentic atmosphere of the space. The original layout was open, which, while inviting, sometimes lacked the intimacy desired by diners.
To address this, we installed custom Spanish-style window partitions that serve as a subtle yet effective barrier between the entryway and the dining area. These windows not only provide the necessary separation but also enhance the restaurant's ambiance, complementing the existing Cuban-inspired decor. The rich wood tones and elegant design of the windows help maintain the warm, welcoming mood of the restaurant, ensuring that the space remains both comfortable and true to its cultural roots. This thoughtful addition improves the overall dining experience, allowing customers to enjoy their meals in a more private and serene environment.

This exterior renovation project focused on improving both the functionality and curb appeal of the home. The original structure, while solid, lacked adequate protection from the elements, and the exterior had become weathered over time.
We addressed these issues by extending the soffit to create a larger overhang, providing much-needed protection from rain and helping to preserve the home's exterior. In addition to this structural improvement, we also repainted the entire exterior, revitalizing the home's appearance and ensuring it blends seamlessly with its surroundings. The fresh paint and extended soffit not only enhance the home's aesthetic appeal but also contribute to its longevity, offering both practical benefits and an updated, welcoming look.

This project may seem simple, but it demonstrates our commitment to quality and attention to detail, no matter the size of the task. The goal was to replace the old, damaged tile flooring with a fresh, modern look that would elevate the space and improve its durability.
We started by carefully removing all the old tiles and baseboards, ensuring that no damage was done to the underlying structure. The debris was thoroughly cleaned up to prepare the area for the next steps. We then leveled the floor to provide a solid foundation for the new tiles, ensuring a smooth and even surface. The new tiles were meticulously laid down, followed by precise grouting to create a seamless finish. Finally, new baseboards were installed to complete the look, giving the room a polished and updated appearance
