Full Home Renovation on Knickerbocker Ave (In-Progress)

• Aging Infrastructure: The home required significant electrical and plumbing updates to meet modern standards.

• Layout Limitations: The original floorplan was compartmentalized, with small, dark rooms that didn’t fit the homeowners’ lifestyle.

• Structural Adjustments: Opening up load-bearing walls required engineering approvals and precise execution.

• Timeline: Coordinating multiple trades while keeping the project on schedule.

• Completely remodel the home while keeping some structural integrity intact.

• Create a modern open-concept layout with better natural light and flow.

• Use durable, high-quality materials suited for long-term family living.

• Incorporate energy-efficient systems for HVAC, insulation, and lighting.

• Structural Work Completed: Walls opened, framing strengthened, and new flooring sublayers installed.

• Kitchen Prep: Old kitchen fully demoed, utilities repositioned for new layout.

• Living Space Transformation: The home already feels more open, brighter, and functional—even mid-way through.

Design & Planning:
Our team collaborated with the homeowners to develop a vision that balanced timeless design with modern upgrades. We created a detailed floor plan and 3D renderings to ensure the family could visualize the finished product.

Budget & Time Management:
To keep the $650,000 budget on track, we’re phasing work strategically—completing demolition, framing, and system installations before moving into finishes. Weekly progress updates ensure transparency with the homeowners.
