This page includes both completed projects and work still underway. Framing, siding repair, and cabinet installs look different mid-project than they do once painted and trimmed out - we think that's worth showing, not just the polished result. For smaller repair lists, see our handyman and home repair services.
Kitchen cabinet and appliance installation
Cabinet installation, painting, finish details, and appliance installation in the same kitchen, from bare cabinet boxes to painted cabinets with hardware and stainless appliances in place.
Need cabinets or a kitchen refresh?Same kitchen — sink-side cabinets
Another view of the same kitchen, from bare cabinet boxes and unfinished walls to painted cabinets, installed hardware, a countertop, tile backsplash, sink, and faucet.
Need cabinets or a kitchen refresh?We expanded a small room that originally had only a toilet and vanity to make space for a shower. The remodel included shower installation, plumbing and electrical work, a new vanity with plumbing connections, a toilet, mirror, and light fixture, plus floor and shower tile. Drywall texture, caulking, and painting completed the finishes.

Porch wall repair

Window installation on the same house, shown with the front wall open during the work and with the new windows installed afterward.
Need new windows installed?Side and rear windows & trim
Window and exterior trim installation on the side and rear of the same house, with siding repairs around the openings. The after views show the new windows and surrounding trim from both sides of the work.
Painting is next. These after photos show the windows, trim, and siding repairs before the exterior painting was finished.
Need window and trim installation?Walkway installation
The same concrete walkway before and after completion, from wet concrete in the forms to a finished stepping-stone path with gravel between the pads.
Need a concrete walkway installed?A completed wood gate with diagonal bracing and black hardware at the end of the walkway.
Need a new gate installed?Deck railing installation
New wood railing on the same second-story deck, shown during framing and after the rail and balusters were installed. The two after views show the railing from the side and across the house exterior.
Painting is next. These photos show the new wood railing before its painted finish.
Need a deck or railing built?Exterior painting, caulking & siding
The same small exterior structure before and after siding, caulking, and painting work, from yellow siding to a green exterior with white trim.
Need exterior painting, caulking, or siding work?A beam being lifted into place during interior renovation work, with bolted connections and temporary wood supports visible before the walls and ceilings are finished.
Planning a beam installation?Custom stair framing
The same staircase from cut stringers to fitted wood treads and a landing, showing the stair carpentry before finish materials and railings are added.
Need custom stair or carpentry work?
Framing and stair carpentry rarely get photographed because they're often covered by drywall, trim, and paint. We include this in-progress view because it shows the structure underneath finished rooms before the final surfaces go on.
