• We left many of the cabinets as open so that things would be easier to find and to keep the cost down.
• We used birch plywood and a dark stain to help the units hold up to wear and tear over time.
• We used a slate grey laminate top for easy cleaning and low maintenance.

Niches give the shower a custom look and add practical storage space for the homeowner.

We like to make our niches stand out by incorporating deco tiles and leftover counter top material. 

No Problem, with the help of our friends at Authentic Hardwoods owned by Mike Keroack, you will never know the difference.  

Here is an example of a  kitchen renovation we just completed.  We removed a wall and installed a beam that made the opening span 12 feet.  It was extremely important for the two floors to blend seamlessly so that they would feel like one space.

We Remove the wall and closet to the right of the cased opening and installed a beam.  This left a void in the hardwood flooring.

Authentic Hardwoods laced in a new floor where the wall and closet had been removed.

After sanding the floors and installing 3 coats of polyurethane it is impossible to tell where the old floor stops and the new floor starts.

Do you like most people living in Georgia have rotten wood on your home?  Don’t worry in most cases you can easily remove and replace rotten wood.

Here is an easy way to replace an exterior window sill.

Rotten Nosing and Sill

Remove the sill with a sawzall.  Be careful not to damage the trim inside

Install a new sill and nosing.  We use a PVC moulding that will never rot. You may also need to repair the brick moulding trim on the side of the window.

Could be transformed into such a gorgeous counter?:

Another advantage of using repurposed boards is that they often come in wider dimensions than what you can find on the market today. Forestry practices have changed – for example, you just don’t find nice wide pine boards anymore. When you do your renovation, you may be sitting on a gold mine of these great boards. Check the attic floors and roof boards. Your contractor may be able to incorporate them into the design of your home.

We create a ‘drainage plain’ behind all of our siding. We developed our methods by combining methods taught by Southface,  the EEBA, and the holy grail of building science ,Joseph Lstiburek’s Builders Guide to Mixed Humid Climates.

In this application we install housewrap and tape all the seams to avoid the passing of any bulk water through the envelope.  We flash all the window jambs with a rubber flashing membrane.  All components are overlapped from the bottom to the top so that water will roll over all seams.  We place a “rainscreen” over the housewrap made by Benjamin Obdyke.  This allows the cedar shingles to dry out if any water penetrates them.  It also allows any water to run down the drainage plain and onto the roof shingles below.

This technique will allow the paint to last longer, the material to have an extended life while preventing rot, decay, and mold. 
It also helps air seals the envelope to cut down on humidity and heat loss and gain.
