KARI & WILL RENOVATION

ABOUT THE PROJECT:

When Kari & Will contacted us their vision was simply to organize and beautify the garage. They had no idea we could remove the old utility sink and replace it with a stainless steel dog wash, install new lighting to brighten the garage, cleanout the storage space underneath their back deck and their attic to store their holiday and outdoor furniture or provide enough slatwall and wall shelving so there would be nothing hanging off the ceiling.

We gave their garage a full paint job, coated the concrete floors, demo’d the old overhead ceiling storage and shelving, hauled off the items they no longer wanted and coordinated with their landscape designer who was midway through a pool installation.

They cul de sac was a busy place with two projects happening simultaneously but our streamlined communication and active project mangement ensured neither their nor their neighbors’ driveways or mailboxes were blocked throughout the engagement.

We even brought in their trash bins each week.

Their family of four now comfortably parks two cars in the garage and cancelled their dog grooming service.

Once their backyard is complete, we’ll be finishing off the under deck storage area with new shelving and an infrared sauna that overlooks the greenbelt at the rear of their property.

ANDERSON MILL GARAGE CONVERSION

ABOUT THE PROJECT:


When Olivia booked her free consultation, her garage was in tremendous need of immediate intervention. The plumbing didn’t work, the air conditioning had failed, there were fire hazards with the electrical and her garage door opener was connected to a disco light.

A single parent of two pre-teens and tech business leader, she wanted to create a space that served several purposes for her family: provide a clean, quiet office where she could be productive, create a maker’s space for the kids to do arts & crafts and LEGO, revamp the gym area and create a “performance” area where her kids could play music and put on plays.

With almost 900 sq ft to work with, we had a great footprint to make it all happen. But first, there was a lot of work to be done. The ground water pit had to be filled with concrete, the electrical had to be redone to facilitate new lighting and wall outlets, the plumbing needed to be brought up to code, the cabinets needed to be removed, her new office furniture needed to be designed and furnished and her gym needed some upgrades.

Watch the full video of this project here.

Over the course of several weeks, we had new heat pumps installed, the water heater replaced, the electrical redone, the garage door and opener swapped out, the concrete floor coated, a new cabinet system and slatwall installed, a dog bath delivered, amongst other work.

The result is a beautfiul space the family now enjoys together with friends and family. They host parties, create artwork and Olivia can be productive when working from home. When compared to buying a home 900 sq. ft. bigger in her area, although she invested just over $100,000 in this project, she saved over 56%! Garage conversions like these are cost-effective ways of adding livable space while preserving childhood friendships by remaining in the same school district, adding value to your home and avoiding the costs and hassles of moving.
