Pulling a home out of the 1970s
The house was small and dated — comfortable enough, but stuck in another decade and not doing much for the people living in it. The goal was straightforward: bring it into the present, and make it work for years to come.
We approached it in two phases, working closely with the contractor at every step.

Phase one: a fresh main floor
The first phase reworked the finished home from the inside out. We added a much-needed bathroom and remodeled the main floor completely — updating the dated finishes, layout, and feel into something bright, current, and built around how a family actually lives day to day.
Short and Sweet Headlines are Best!
The second phase took on the unfinished basement — raw space waiting to earn its keep. The challenge was fitting a full program into a tight footprint without it feeling cramped.
We carved out a complete bedroom suite, tucked in the mechanical and storage the home needed, and found room for a detail most basements never get: a dedicated dog washing station. It's a small touch, but it's the kind of thing that turns a finished basement into a space tailored to the people — and pets — who use it.
Dated to dialed-in
Across both phases, a small home stuck in the past became one fully equipped for the present: an extra bath, a reworked main floor, and a basement that finally pulls its weight. Proof that you don't need more square footage to transform how a home lives — you need every square foot working harder.
