1986 Tour of Remodeled Homes

1986 - 2015

The Tour of Remodeled Homes Celebrates 30 Years This year we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Tour of Remodeled Homes in Louisville. In three decades, the finishes, the colors and the materials have all changed. Yet one thing has remained constant: our Registered Remodelers have utilized their superior skillsets to transform families’ houses into homes.

Looking back, the diversity in projects and the neighborhoods in which the homes reside over the past thirty years showcases the talents of our Registered Remodelers and the potential for existing homes across Louisville.

When you choose to remodel your home you want to en10 The Tour of Remodeled Homes

sure that you’re hiring a professional. In 1976 the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville (BIA) founded the Remodeler’s Council in order to strengthen the awareness of professional remodelers and to raise the image of the profession as a whole.

As Registered Remodelers must meet stringent requirements that set them apart from the average remodeler, clients can take heart in knowing that when they hire a Registered Remodeler they are working with a professional who is striving to be better than the rest. It is important for you to make sure that the person you entrust the safety, image, and security of your home is someone you can trust.

Stonehenge redesigned the lower level to include a living area and full bath. Cracks were filled in the leaking basement and dirt was added to slope water away.

The remodel also involved the installation of vinyl windows that are historically correct for the architecture of the house, and a new roof, HVAC and electrical. A new plumbing line to the city sewer and a backflow valve were also incorporated into the project.

moved during the renovation, new oak flooring had to be perfectly matched with the original flooring.

Light streams into a new master bedroom that is filled with natural light and has the convenience of a walk-in closet. A former, extremely small master bathroom and a portion of a bedroom created the new master bathroom, allowing the space for double vanities and a large shower.

An original bathroom was completely redesigned and now features white cabinetry, tile that complements the granite countertop and a large framed mirror that gives the sense of even more space. A new closet was configured from a section of another existing bathroom.

Before the renovation, the laundry was inconveniently located in the basement. The back porch was converted to a mud room, powder room and first floor laundry.

“The guts were good but it was a tiny house,” says the homeowner of this ranch home built in 1955. The family appreciated the proximity to Seneca Park but was faced with the decision to move or enlarge the house. They commissioned Stonehenge Construction to increase its square footage and totally redesign the interior. The home is now a 21st century gem that’s a nurturing environment for the family and an oasis for entertaining.

Stonehenge extended the front of the house, converted the existing single-car garage and combined the living room to create a capacious contemporary living area. Relocating the center stairway allowed the dining area to join the living room as one continuous space.

The kitchen was given a dash of panache by the addition of a bar that’s dressed up with a granite countertop and stainless steel pendant lights. Oak flooring replaced a bamboo floor that was a visual disconnect with the flooring throughout the house. Because walls were

wall curbless shower accented by a tile border.

The shower was designed to be accessible for ADA conversion to accommodate aging-inplace or physical impairments. Patterned wallpaper set the tone for the bath’s beige and black color scheme that’s paired with painted and glazed cabinetry.

Leading from the gathering room to the new bathroom is a short hallway in which storage was built on both sides. A laundry room was installed in the area’s reworked footprint.

A new sink was added and plumbing was updated in a hall bath.

The home’s electrical system was upgraded and hardwired for a generator.

On the exterior of the house, a stoop and sidewalk were added and masonry work using original bricks trimmed with an arch that mimics that on a front window was created.

Following extensive electrical work, the dining room ceiling was restored and displays the original crown molding that had been salvaged.

Wallpaper was replaced, shutters were added and the wall-to-wall carpeting was removed and repurposed as two area rugs.

An undersized vaulted ceiling space on the other side of the kitchen had become an unattractive catch-all. Raising a portion of the adjoining ceiling, adding crown molding and cove lighting, installing an arch and beams, and capturing porch space as new interior space transformed the room into a cozy gathering room that has a wine cooler, sink and ice maker.

The room’s location over the house’s crawl space had always caused temperature control issues. Redesigning the ductwork with a temperature zoning system not only resolved those problems, but also improved heating and air on the second floor.

New flooring in the gathering space and dining room became part of the remodel project.

Random-width oak floors match those in the kitchen and help tie the new spaces together.

Reapportioning half of the two-car garage enabled the creation of a bath that has a travertine

The family loved the location and three-acre lot of their two-story Colonial home, and they cherished the family traditions that had been celebrated there over the years. However, the first floor’s poorly planned layout impeded the flow between rooms and minimized the enjoyment of the kitchen, den and dining room.

Remodeling the home was a collaborative effort between the homeowners, space planner Jan Uhl, architect Steve Vice and Redsmith Construction. Respecting the historical character of the house was a prime consideration during the process.

Redsmith widened and heightened the opening between the kitchen and dining room, resulting in a dining room that has a sitting area adjacent to the kitchen. Since the wall between the two rooms was load bearing, significant engineering was required to avoid the installation of columns that would have distracted from the space’s graceful aesthetics.

The kitchen previously had been renovated and required only a few tweaks to update it. A chandelier and recessed LED lighting may have been small changes but they made a big impact on the room’s appearance.

To keep lots of light on the porch, lower transoms were used in place of a solid knee wall. The previous floor tiles were removed, and a cork thermal barrier and new tile floor heater were added. The new tile floor features a pinwheel pattern in a more pleasing color. The tile floor and new programmable thermostat complete the transition to a three-season living space.

The two brick walls of the porch were painted a neutral color that complements the adjoining kitchen and dining room. Also the exterior was updated with new vinyl soffits and new gutters.

a pantry cabinet with adjustable, full extension rollouts and tray dividers, a deep cabinet over the refrigerator, a cookbook niche over the sink and a trash pull-out. Two-piece crown molding, under-cabinet lighting and a double sink further enhanced the kitchen’s new look. The sink plumbing was replaced and an issue that prevented the dishwasher from recessing fully was resolved. Also, the heat ducts for the kitchen were upsized to provide more consistent temperature during the hot and cold seasons. The kitchen makeover also included all new appliances and a hot water dispenser.

The first floor bathroom reflected its own outdated appearance. It is now reimagined with a new cast iron tub with an adjustable hand-held shower, a tub surround of beveled subway tiles, a 12” x 24” porcelain tile floor and faux finish walls.

The remodel of the old screened in porch expanded the interior living space by removing the old screens and cloth awnings and replacing them with new windows and a new door. The new windows are double-pane, Low-E glass with full screens. The new door is full-view glass and constructed using fiberglass to be more durable.

Louisville Handyman was engaged to rejuvenate this two-story Cape Cod-influenced home built in 1957, while affirming its original character.

Using architectural software, Joe French presented the homeowner with several 3D renderings for the kitchen layout, including cabinetry, updated lighting and other details. This approach allowed the homeowner to visualize the new kitchen prior to construction beginning.

Modernizing the kitchen for increased efficiency and visual appeal began with eliminating soffits and an old drywall closet that served as a pantry. Removing the soffits allowed the installation of 36” tall cabinets in place of the original 30” tall cabinets, providing more storage and a more appealing appearance.

Custom white Shaker-style cabinetry was selected, paired with coffee-brown Group B granite and accentuated by a ¾-inch mosaic glazed ceramic tile backsplash with sandstone beige grout. The Amish-made cabinets supplied

by Louisville Handyman include all plywood cabinet boxes with dove tail drawers and softclose, full-extension guides. All doors are solid maple and include soft close hinges. Innovative features include deep pot and pan drawers,

A laundry room was added, as was a breezeway that leads to the new two-car garage.

Country décor exude casual comfort in the sunroom and informal eating area that opens in two directions, onto the pool and the screened porch.

Remodeling the basement and the upstairs bath were the objectives of the second phase of renovation.

The final phase, always part of the renovation plan, was multi-faceted. A new spacious and charming master bedroom with hickory floors was formerly the home’s garage. Converting the garage into the bedroom required raising the formerly sloping floor to accommodate ductwork to outside windows. To address leakage issues in that area, brick was removed and replaced with matching used brick on the side of the house. Reworking the original dining room, and adding windows and a closet, allowed the creation of the master bath that includes white cabinetry with a marble vanity, a soaking tub and a large walk-in shower. Wainscoting and display shelving dress up the room with elegant and practical expression.

The home’s garage presented the most formi-

The family-friendly renovation of this 2,500 sq. ft. two-story home evolved over three stages, encompassing structural modifications and exquisite aesthetic changes. Central to the remodel was incorporating aging-in-place features that seamlessly blend in with the design.

Phase One focused on completely gutting, then extending the kitchen to open onto the addition of an adjacent sunroom and eating area.

Raised panel maple buckskin cabinets with a granite countertop impart a rich, traditional ambience to the kitchen that introduces doubleduty design with the placement of a computer area. The redesign of the kitchen permitted the installation of an island that epitomizes form and function. Columns cleverly conceal plumbing and provide storage while imbuing the room with eye-catching character.

Enlarging a door between the kitchen and former living room created an inviting family room in which wood floors replaced carpet and a window was replaced with new French doors that lead onto the new enclosed slate floor porch.

extension drawers and a pantry with roll-out trays maximizes space and provides easier access to food and kitchenware.

The existing porch that had been previously enclosed to be part of the house was completely torn off and rebuilt eliminating an awkward step down. Reworked HVAC ducts, along with spray foam insulation allow the room to be much more comfortable. This area now feels like it was always a part of the home instead of an afterthought.

Bailey Remodeling & Construction worked in conjunction with architect Gant Jones and interior designer Susan Lowry to further alter the floor plan by taking advantage of unused space in the garage.

“We had to be super creative,” says Brandon Bailey about the addition of a half bath, mudroom and getting the laundry room on the first floor.

The renovation also included replacing all strip flooring on the first floor with three-inch

Thinking outside predictable design parameters, and without increasing the square footage, Bailey Remodeling & Construction remarkably changed how this house functions. Elements of three iterations of plans coalesced into the final design that makes a statement of sleek sophistication.

Two poorly placed beams unattractively protruded between the kitchen and family room. Essential for support, they were replaced with beams that are recessed in the ceiling and better integrated into the design.

Some components, such as the perimeter cabinetry, were retained from the kitchen remodel that was completed seven years ago. But a stylish tile backsplash, center island and 2 cm quartz countertop infused the kitchen with a refreshingly modern flair.

Eliminating a closet and an unsuitable pantry opened up the kitchen. Updated hardware for full-

A large active family needed more space for entertaining and cocooning. The 2000 square foot walkout basement space was perfect to address this family’s needs. Rob Peterson’s design included an entertainment area, a bar/kitchen combo, laundry room, half bath, and a bedroom with full bath.

The masterful design afforded the creation of a new deck, pergola, and rain-sheltered patio that overlook a lush expanse of lawn and trees.

In the lower level, cultured stone columns, arches, and bar front give a warm feel to the space.

A total makeover, not just a facelift, was in store for this Anchorage home. Adding a second story, new front porch and a brick sidewalk are highly visible changes to the exterior, and a stunning story unfolds room-to-room inside the home. Forrester Home Renovations’ project is defined by craftsmanship that rendered striking architectural details and an interplay of high style and informality.

Space for a staircase to the second floor was created by removing two closets in the living room, also altered by the addition of columns to highlight a separate dining room.

A rebuilt chimney is central to the hearth room’s dramatic design. Remodeling opened up the hearth room and kitchen, making the new space the hub of the family’s living area and the natural adjacency to the porch and patio. Varied-width oak flooring runs from the hearth room into the kitchen and into the hall.

In the kitchen, beadboard white cabinetry beautifully contrasts with honed black granite countertops. A mahogany-topped island instills the room

Spray foam was installed in the theater for sound and thermal control.

Also located off the gallery is a powder room with opulent details such as a custom-built, antique-mirrored vanity with a waterfall faucet, black granite floor with gold inlays, gold crown molding and black and gold wallpaper.

Choosing a Registered Builder or Remodeler

By Nancy Miller

When considering building a new home or remodeling an existing home, it’s critical to select the right individual or company for your individual project. It is a decision that will help determine the quality and cost of your remodel or new construction.

The Building Industry Association of Louisville has Registered Remodeler and Registered Builder members who: • Are informed about new products.

• Are linked to a network of industry professionals on the local, state and national level.

• Have a commitment to continuing education.

Checklist for Hiring a Registered Builder or Registered Remodeler It’s also important that you become familiar with the business of a prospective remodeler or builder and that his or her experience relates to your individual project. You might find it helpful to use this checklist when choosing a Registered Remodeler or Builder member of the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville. q Check to be sure that you’re talking to a Registered Remodeler or Builder. q Check to be sure the remodeler or builder has a permanent business location and a good reputation with local banks and suppliers.

• Have the ability to address special building issues/techniques.

• Have access to a conciliation process should problems arise that cannot be easily resolved.

• Have experience in the home or commercial construction profession for a specified period of time.

• Have demonstrated financial and on-site responsibilities.

• Are a full-time professional who derives his or her principal income from construction, remodeling or related real estate activities.

• Have submitted the names of previous customers as references • Have Registered Remodeler or Builder sponsors with personal knowledge of their remodeling/construction activities and business integrity.

q Ask how long they have been in the remodeling or building business.

You want to be sure they’ll be around after the project is complete to service warranties and to address issues that could develop. It usually takes three to five years to establish a financially sound business. q Check with the Better Business Bureau to learn of any complaints. q Inquire whether the remodeler or builder has sufficient workers’ compensation and general liability insurance. If not, you may be liable for any construction- or remodeling-related accidents on your premises.

It’s a good idea to ask for proof of insurance. q Check references. q Check for quality of workmanship and materials of previous projects.

• Must have acceptable credit history.

q Be sure you are able to easily communicate with the person.

• Appear before a committee for a personal interview.

q Ask for a complete and clearly written contract. Review it carefully.

• Must agree to take part in continuing education.

q Be cautious of unusually low-priced bids. If the remodeler or builder is unable to pay for materials and labor as the project proceeds, there could be potential problems.

• Must agree to abide by the Code of Ethics of the BIA.

q Look for these logos: q Visit bialouisville.com for lists of Registered Remodelers and Builders.
