01 Where We Started

Tired, not broken.

Nothing here was broken — it was just tired, and had been for a long time. Honey-oak raised-panel cabinets ran the length of the galley under speckled beige laminate, a boxed fluorescent fixture did most of the work overhead, and the primary ensuite had fallen well behind the rest of the home.

One thing worth saying plainly, because the old copy on this page got it wrong: this kitchen was not closed in. The wide dark-framed opening through to the dining and living area is right there in the before photo. The job wasn't to knock down walls — it was to bring every surface, fixture and appliance forward inside the footprint that already worked.

03 The Result

The primary ensuite.

A charcoal stone-look vanity with black hardware, a travertine-look tile feature wall, a white freestanding tub on a low tiled platform — and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with a built-in bench, a mosaic floor and black fittings throughout.

What clients say

Five stars, project after project.

This firm did a fantastic job of my kitchen reno 4 years ago, so I always knew I'd hire them again when it was time to refresh the master bath… The end result is beautiful … and came in both ontime and on-budget! My master bath now looks like the fabulous bathroom I recently got to experience at the Four Seasons Bangkok Hotel.

The Suite Home Renovations Approach

Two rooms, one project lead, no hand-offs.

Running a kitchen and an ensuite at the same time is a scheduling problem more than a building one — the same trades are wanted in two rooms at once. We kept both rooms under one project lead so the same long-term trade partners moved between them. They're not in-house employees, and we won't pretend they are; they're a roster we've worked with long enough to trust with our name and yours.

One accountable team

Cabinetry, plumbing, electrical, tile and finishing all ran under one project lead — no juggling separate kitchen and bathroom contractors.

A written estimate you approve

Both rooms were scoped into one written estimate you approve before work starts — so the investment is clear up front, and changes are priced and approved, never sprung on you.

One sequenced timeline

With one lead scheduling both rooms together, the trades moved between them instead of waiting on each other — closing the gaps that stretch most multi-trade jobs.

A note on what this project cost. Every project we publish was priced for its own circumstances — the materials chosen and what they cost that season, the finish level, the permit path, what we found once the walls were open, and how the owners chose to phase the work. A similar-looking project today can land in a genuinely different range, which is why we never price by comparison. When you're ready for a real number, Chris or Kurtis walks your property, scopes it, and puts the estimate for your project in writing.
