Durable, Stylish Materials

Built-Ins & Finishing Touches
Designed and built a media wall with integrated cable/electrical routing
Added dimmable lighting zones to support different room uses
Painted and trimmed with premium materials for longevity
Materials we used included Black Walnut for the island counter and floating shelves. The cabinetry was fully replaced with Hoffman custom cabinets which paired well with the Australian Cypress Hardwood (complete with clear coat) of the flooring. The windows were also replaced (and the rot removed) with Jamb-Free Pella windows.
Remodel Challenges
Thankfully the header for the sunroom was not load bearing, so removing it to free up space did not require a hidden header. The only noteworthy challenges in this project were the window with minor rot. Upon window replacement, new sills, exterior sheathing, and sealing were also applied.
