Goal:

A licensed contractor demonstrates a commitment to professionalism and legal compliance. In most states, obtaining a contractor’s license involves passing exams on business practices and trade skills, proving financial stability, and undergoing a background check. By choosing a licensed contractor, you’re opting for someone who has shown they take their profession seriously and adhere to the legal requirements.

Process:

A license is also a mark of the contractor’s knowledge and skills. Licensed contractors are well-versed in building codes, safety regulations, and current trends in construction. They are equipped with the expertise to deliver high-quality work that complies with local and state regulations. When you choose a licensed contractor, you’re betting on industry knowledge and competency.

Challenge:

Accountability is another reason to hire a licensed contractor. Should any disputes or problems arise during the project, a state contractor’s board can provide conflict resolution and issue penalties if necessary. This body provides an additional layer of protection for you as the consumer, ensuring the contractor is accountable for their work.

Result:

Now, let’s talk about insurance. When a contractor is insured, it provides critical protection for both you and them during the project. Liability insurance protects you from having to cover the costs if a contractor damages your property during the project.

Similarly, workers’ compensation insurance covers medical expenses and lost wages if a contractor’s employee gets injured on your property. Without this insurance, you could potentially be liable for medical bills and even lawsuits. An insured contractor, therefore, gives you peace of mind knowing that potential financial risks are covered.

“I would be a much better cook if I had the right kitchen setup” 

Goal:

Passionate about cooking, this owner desired a kitchen remodeling project to expand the galley kitchen for better prep and finish workspaces, with convenient access to the rear porch.

Process:

When it comes to kitchen remodeling, the size of the project doesn’t change the importance of a well-structured process.

Whether you’re considering a small addition or a larger transformation, the steps remain the same.

Let’s delve into how we turned a modest space into a culinary masterpiece through meticulous planning, structural improvements, and custom features.

The Initial Planning and Permitting

Kitchen remodeling begins with thoughtful planning and often requires navigating through permits and variances to meet local regulations.

This phase paves the way for the subsequent construction steps, which include site preparation and essential concrete work, laying a strong foundation for your kitchen vision.

Seamless Integration: Small Space, Big Impact

In this particular kitchen remodeling project, the challenge lay in seamlessly integrating a small addition into the existing structure.

The removal of the roof system and exterior walls demanded extensive custom framing and carpentry.

Despite the limited size, achieving a harmonious tie-in with the existing roofline was paramount.

This meticulous approach ensured proper pitching, effective waterproofing, and the maximization of ceiling height.

Reinforcing for a Better Tomorrow

To create an open and inviting kitchen, a significant amount of structural support and reinforcement work was carried out from the foundation upward.

A combination of concrete, wood, and steel elements were strategically employed to bolster the existing building’s integrity.

This not only safeguarded the structure but also facilitated the removal of two bearing partitions, enhancing the overall layout.

Custom Elegance and High-End Appliances

No kitchen remodeling is complete without personalized touches and top-tier appliances, therefore in this project, we used high-end Wolf appliances, an efficient exhaust system, a custom-fabricated island microwave alcove, and a beautiful sink with a stylish faucet to elevate the culinary experience.

Carefully planned lighting and extensive floor leveling seamlessly connected three different additions, creating a unified and polished space.

The result of this kitchen remodeling endeavor is a kitchen designed for both functionality and aesthetics.

With the right equipment and an efficiently designed space, this kitchen provides the perfect canvas for culinary creativity.

Discover how kitchen remodeling can transform your space and elevate your culinary adventures to a new level.

“Serenity is embraced by an endless ocean view.” 

Goal:

The homeowner chose a gem by the majestic Atlantic Ocean, but the existing house needed significant home improvement to enhance the view and overall flow.

With plans for a master suite, double bathrooms, kitchen, and living room remodel, we pursued these improvements to fully appreciate the stunning scenery across the street.

Process:

Undertaking extensive home improvement on the 1st-floor layout, we created an open space highlighting ocean views, surfers, and more.

The home improvement project involved analyzing floor plans, site layout, and key design elements.

Structural partitions necessitated skilled carpentry while uneven ceilings demanded leveling for this home improvement endeavor.

This comprehensive project merged six floor configurations into one cohesive design, and we upgraded the electrical system.

The formerly complicated master suite is now free-flowing, with ceramic tiles connecting the powder area, full bathroom, and a separate toilet room.

Eliminating unnecessary closets, upgrading cooktops, and installing custom counters and specialty lighting were key components of the home improvement plan.

One thing is certain: their new and improved floor plan offers an unobstructed Eastern world view every morning.

“1800s Main Building Complete Renovation with Horses and a Dream Barn!”

Goal:

Located in the Oyster River district, this 1890s property was a byproduct of a large investment by South East Land Trust, to conserve 30+ acres surrounding it, which abuts another 40 or so acres of conservation land surrounding the Lamprey River.

We purchased what was arguably in the most disrepair house in order to bring it back to its former glory starting with a complete renovation. Which grew, and grew..

Process:

Starting with the roof replacement, to create a watertight ‘top’ we were quite surprised at the integrity of it and felt as though this was going to be a straightforward refresh.

With the neighboring horses staring at us, shaking their heads we got the feeling an incredible amount of infrastructure would be required.

So, planning and permitting started!

Septic: out with old, in with new;

Electrical: remove everything starting from scratch (although the old glass fuse tubes were cool).

Plumbing: What plumbing? 1 bathroom in 3,000 SF… so we made two full bathrooms and one half bathroom. Heating and cooling? Yes, the steam heat was GREAT but to accommodate the new layout the radiators had to go, and in went air conditioning to boot.

Removing 50% of 2nd-floor interior partitions, and reframing 20% of 1st-floor systems. Relocated stairwell, created a custom kitchen with custom full-size open walk-in pantry.

High-efficiency appliances, LED lighting, hardwood floor refinishing and installation. Basement water mitigation system. Windows, doors, siding replacement, trim, exterior paint.

What about the barn?

30’x50’ feet with 18’ foot ceiling ridge height and 10’ foot tall poured concrete walls: a dream for car collectors, workshops, and horses –  they don’t build them like they used to.

Tons of pre-planning, tons of ‘didn’t expect that’ and had to deal with it, but a beautiful end result as this house has been restored to better than original for the family to enjoy and create memories.

“The Family Has Spoken- We Need More Space!!!!! Time for a House Renovation!”

Goal:

  • Make our 100-year-old home look new;
  • Increase family quality time space throughout the first floor;
  • Create a quiet time personal office;
  • Construct a separate master bedroom suite;

Process:

Following successful zoning relief for the 800SF addition, much pre-planning was performed to begin a full demolition of all interior finishes, partitions, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems for the house renovation.

Build-It and homeowners selected every piece of equipment and finish material to ensure proper fit and finish.

Unknown structural obstacles threw some curve balls, but we were able to knock them out of the park.

Added natural gas service, a high-efficiency tankless water heating system, and closed-cell spray foam insulation throughout the existing spaces are a few more benefits this family gained.

Bold white trim decorates the exterior with complimenting historic sill window trim, all maintenance-free. The welcoming neutral interior colors, craftsman style doors, quartz counters, and warm wide plank flooring maintain the New England feel with the resiliency of new products for this family to enjoy.
