As the homeowners and their young son moved into this home, they first and foremost wanted to renovate the kitchen. Carpentry By Chris accomplished this by removing a peninsula and installing a large working island with space for seating. In addition, the homeowners wanted to update the feel of the entire house. This was accomplished by painting every room, totally remodeling each of the 3.5 baths and installing new flooring throughout almost the whole house.

The homeowners are pleased that there is now a seamless flow between the kitchen and the family room. This innovative kitchen design, that takes the place of the traditional kitchen table, is a perfect fit for today’s busy families. A small pantry closet was replaced with additional cabinetry and a more efficient location for the refrigerator. With cherry cabinets and granite countertops, the kitchen now feels warm, yet modern. The entryway now features a slate floor
and you’ll see red birch hardwood flooring in the great room.

In addition to remodeling the home, the contractor also solved some water problems that could have caused expensive damage to the home down the road.

“We discovered a couple of places where water was leaking in through the roof and causing some damage,” says
Chris Weckmann of Carpentry By Chris. “We were able to find the source of the problem and repair both the roof and the drywall damage.”

This home is a great example of what you can achieve when you work well with your contractor to make your dreams a reality. “I encourage people to look through magazines or books for things they like,” says Chris. “The picture may only have one detail that they like, but every piece of the remodeling picture they can fill in is a great help to us in building
the space the homeowner really wants.”
