Remodelling · Hickman & Perry County

The part of your house you have been putting off.

Kitchens, baths, additions and porches. We take one family at a time, we clean up every evening, and you will always know what is happening tomorrow.

A kitchen, six weeks, and a family who stayed in the house

Most remodels are not a design problem. They are a "how long will my house be a building site" problem, and that is the one worth solving first.

During — Centerville
Finished — six weeks later

Wall between the kitchen and the dining room taken out, header set, and the run of cabinets moved to the window side. On a real site these would be your own photographs — homeowners look at before-and-after longer than anything else on the page.

How it goes

Written down because the uncertainty is the worst part, and because a family living in the house deserves to know what next week looks like.

We come and look

An hour at your house, no charge and no drawings yet. Mostly we are listening to what bothers you about the room, which is rarely what you first say.

A real number, in writing

Line by line, with allowances stated plainly. If something is a guess we mark it as a guess rather than burying it.

Choices, before we start

Tile, fixtures and finishes settled up front. Deciding mid-job is what turns six weeks into eleven.

One family at a time

We are not starting your job and disappearing to another. Dust walls go up, floors get covered, and the site is swept before we leave each evening.

A list you write

At the end you walk it and write the punch list, not us. Nothing is finished until you say it is.

Recent work

Three from this year, within about forty minutes of Centerville.

Centerville

A galley kitchen opened up

Load-bearing wall removed and a flush beam set, so the ceiling stayed flat and the room reads as one space.

Lyles

A bath that stopped leaking in 1998

Down to the joists, three of which had to be sistered. The tile is the part you see; the framing is the part that lasts.

Nunnelly

A porch worth sitting on

Sixteen by thirty, screened, with a roof pitched to match the house rather than fighting it.

What people said afterwards

“They put up plastic on day one and I did not find drywall dust in my bedroom once. I had braced myself for months of it.”Kitchen · Centerville
“The quote had a line in it that said ‘this is a guess until we open the floor’. It went up by four hundred dollars and I already knew why.”Bathroom · Lyles
“My husband is difficult about this sort of thing and he has already recommended them to two people.”Porch · Nunnelly

Come and look at ours, or let us come and look at yours

We book about three months out for larger work. The first visit is free and there is no drawing, no pressure and no follow-up call unless you ask for one.
