These homeowners were looking to create an open kitchen area to host family gatherings. The post and odd peninsula counter created an awkward floorplan. Our design solution was to remove the load bearing post and put in a laminated beam spanning the length of the room, opening up the space. An extra-large island is now the focal point of the kitchen. Additional lighting creates a bright comfortable working space.

BEFORE AND AFTER:

Homeowner’s challenge:

Create an open floor plan
Replace all kitchen cabinets
Better lighting

Our solution:

Remove load bearing post and Install laminated central beam to carry roof rafters
New cabinets and center island
Manufactured stone counters
Energy efficient appliances
New hardwood flooring
Open floor plan – removed dividing wall
Additional LED lighting

“The story I like to tell about Jeff is we had a warranty deficiency on something on our remodel. It’s been two years since they did the remodel, but they came out and fixed it. That shows me someone who wants my business again, and wants my referral.”

“I want to THANK YOU for the many ways you supported me – and most importantly CASA and our vision for building young lives.

I hope you feel great pride & satisfaction with the completion of your rather HUGE undertaking – a permanent home for CASA. You were an amazing, kind, HARD WORKING leader during all of it! Sometimes Allie & I would look at each other & just PRAISE your name!! Now CASA and “our” children belong to the entire community – we have insured that.

And THANK YOU for always stepping up for help building, hauling, finding free spaces, running committees, opening our beautiful home… and more!”
