Renovating an 1800s house
An outdated closet and toilet room had been added to this dining room. We took both out so it's one room again, added a second bathroom, restored the original wood floors and repainted.
We keep what's worth keeping.
Original wood floors, exposed brick and old trim are often worth saving. Additions that made sense at one time, like a closet and toilet room built into a dining room, usually aren't.
-
Opening up rooms
We open up walls between separate, outdated rooms.
-
Original floors
We refinish original hardwood and pine floors, and repair the framing under them when it needs it.
-
Stairs
We put new treads, rails and balusters on worn stairs and paint the rest to match.
-
Adding a bathroom
We find room for a second bathroom in an older house.
-
Down to the original walls
Some rooms have to come down to the original board walls before new framing, drywall and floors go in.
-
Paint and prep
Old walls and trim take more patching and sanding than new ones. Before we start, we cover the floors and seal the windows.

Oak stair treads and two cabinets joined into one
We put oak treads on a worn staircase and painted the risers charcoal. It now has an oak rail and black balusters. Albert also joined two old cabinets into one three-door piece and painted it charcoal.
Gutting and reframing the back rooms of an older house
We stripped the back rooms of an older house down to their original board walls, framed new ceiling joists and a new wall, and moved on to drywall and a new subfloor.
