The new homeowners purchased this home for the additional bedroom space for their children and the space for a private, comfortable area for overnight guests. They also sought a very open floor plan for their new space, so they hired Redsmith Construction to redesign the floor plan and start the remodel before moving in.

The Redsmith team completely gutted the first floor and removed multiple walls to create an open flow for the brand-new kitchen, family room, dining room and bourbon bar area with custom copper countertops. Two load-bearing walls running through the middle of the house held most of the mechanicals running to the second floor, which had to be rerouted. The team had steel beams engineered to carry the loads. They also relocated the first-floor powder room .

Upstairs, the primary bath was remodeled to include a large tile shower, abundant cabinetry

Beforeand heated floors. The floor plan was modified to make room for a private office, laundry room and gym in the primary suite. An additional HVAC system was installed on the second floor for efficiency and comfort.

They created the desired guest suite in the basement by adding a new full bathroom adjacent to a bedroom and family room.

The partnership between the homeowners and Redsmith Construction, from planning and design all the way to finishing touches, helped create the client’s dream home.

When Matt and Megan Stovall were looking for an updated and functional kitchen and master bathroom that fit their lifestyle, they contacted Buttorff Design & Construction to remodel their two-story brick home.

“We purchased our home knowing we would immediately need to renovate,” Matt said. “The home was perfectly situated on a street we knew would be perfect for our family, and we began renovations within two weeks of moving in — it was quite the adjustment!”

“We moved load-bearing walls, enlarged cased openings and reinforced floors for a new spacious kitchen with a grand island,” Brandon Buttorff said. They also added mitred edge Taj Mahal countertops with a fullheight stone backsplash.

“Our favorite part has to be the kitchen, with ample cooking and storage space,” Matt said. “We spend most of our family time together at the island, and when we have friends over, it’s always where we end up.”

Along with a more functional kitchen, the family needed a laundry and mudroom that better fit their lifestyle. Burtorff Design & Construction renovated the spacious area with functional cubbies and built-in bench seating for storage. The team moved walls, relocated plumbing/appliances and added windows to improve this busy space. Lastly, the family wanted a spa- style primary bath with a classic aesthetic.

“A large and luxurious shower and a freestanding tub were a must for this house,” Buttorff said. “We had the answer for them, with a one-ofa-kind wet room.”

The luxurious update comes with a freestanding tub, double shower spa system and the spa feel the family dreamed of.

While giving the family the updated home they’d been desiring, Burtorff Design & Construction was able to remedy settled foundations, sagging joists, unlevel framing and leaking copper pipes to make the home not just beautiful but safe for years to come.

“BUILDING SINCE 1974”

This 1980s traditional home needed an update. Having worked on numerous projects for the owner of this home for several years, P.L. Lyons Architectural Builders was asked to redesign and remodel the home’s first floor. This included redesigning the kitchen, great room, master bedroom and bath, guest bedrooms and bath, laundry room, mud room and foyer and adding a new pool bath and pool.

The homeowner’s original floor plan had a divided kitchen, dinette, dining room, foyer and a sunken great room. The owner wanted an open-concept floor plan. The builder removed the load-bearing and dividing walls, replacing them with engineered beams and support columns as detailed design elements. The sunken great room floor was raised to the same level as the rest of the first floor, allowing for aging-in-place living.

Designing the open floor plan with minimal beams and support columns created a particular challenge. However, the P.L. Lyons team achieved the results the client desired.

Some of the special touches P.L.

Lyons Architectural Builders added to this open-floor-plan remodel included custom light fixtures, reclaimed wood beams, shiplap siding, wood flooring and adding a pool bath. Custom-designed/ built Shaker cabinets were installed throughout the project, featuring a chef’s island in the open kitchen area, bookcases in the living area incorporating the original stone fireplace and special cabinetry in the laundry, mud room and a guest bath.

The team helped design and coordinate the home’s exterior landscaping, patio, custom pool and features.

In all, P.L. Lyons Architectural Builders delivered unique solutions for the owner of this dream house, allowing them the option to stay comfortably in their updated home “forever.”
