after after

In 1988, H. Glazer Builder Inc. built the original house and was asked last year to do a complete renovation for the son and daughter-in-law of the original owners. The house was modular in nature and the idea was to transform it to an open, airy floor plan where most rooms would take advantage of the fantastic view of Lake Lochmere. A complete renovation includes an addition to the rear of the house and a bump-out in the front. Almost all interior walls were removed and a complete new design created, including removing staircases. Considerable structural elements had to be dealt with in creating the new floor plan. Emphasis was placed on the home’s orientation to the lake. Our design team worked on every aspect of the residence including a new kitchen, walk-in butler’s pantry, decking (with cable railing) and a master suite with an incredible bathroom retreat. We at H. Glazer Builder Inc. are proud to showcase this fantastic transformation of a traditional design residence. We look forward to meeting you and discussing your remodeling needs. DIRECTIONS From Kildaire Farm Road, turn into Lochmere subdivision on Lochmere Drive. Turn left on Sylvan Grove Drive and right on Loch View Drive. Turn left on Loch Cove Lane.

Sometimes the original home builder’s plans short change the owners on space planning. That was the case with this home. The family room/ dining area was disproportionately small. A simple 13-foot extension on the rear of the home allows the family to spread out, have better traffic flow and furniture placement and enjoy the space fully. Using a plethora of windows allows natural light into the space spreading throughout the open floor plan. Relocation of the fireplace to a corner design flanked by built-in custom cabinetry creates a focal point for the space and houses the audio/video equipment. The kitchen cabinets were updated and refinished to mimic the style of the new cabinetry in the family room. The owners are excited to enjoy their new space and home improvement. DIRECTIONS US-64 West left at the NC-55 exit. Follow NC-55 (W. Williams St.) to a right turn on Bryan Drive. Cross Apex Peakway and continue on White Dogwood Road. Turn right on Dalgarven to the end. The home is on the cul-de-sac. Please park according to the signage on site.

This house had some serious layout problems that kept it from selling for years, bringing down home values in the neighborhood. Our homeowners had a vision for what it could become when they bought it, and the Distinctive Remodeling team helped them bring that vision to reality. This gorgeous home is now the jewel of the neighborhood. Although some elements, like the kitchen cabinets, remain, no room was left untouched in bringing this home up to the level of finish you will see. DIRECTIONS From I-440 take the Six Forks Rd.

10 Remodelers Home Tour 2017 remodelershometour.com

A GOOD HOOD A range hood has both form and function in the updated hearth of a home, says Alana Busse of the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA). “More people want to cook like a ‘top chef’ at home, and invest in a big, beefy range or cooktop, instead of a traditional electric stove,” Busse says. “The properly ventilated range hood not only removes cooking grease, moistures and odors from the kitchen, it is required to vent gas burners.” Before a kitchen design can get cooking, you need to plan how best to ventilate it. The style of a range hood is secondary to the substance of its performance. Busse says you must start with the home of the range. “The size and location of the cooking source in the kitchen determines its best range hood partner,” she says. “A range hood’s performance is measured in cubic-feet-per-minute (CFM), so the higher a range hood’s CFM number, the more air it will remove.” A large, six-burner gas range can require a hood with a maximum output of 1,200 CFMs, but Busse says the hidden ductwork is as essential as a range hood’s CFM number. The venting of a range hood may determine the layout of a kitchen and the configuration of appliances. “The chance of build-up is greater in a 20-foot run of venting ductwork, than in a 5-foot run directly vented through an exterior wall,” she says. “Generally, the size of a range hood should mimic the dimensions of the cooking source, but the higher it is installed from the cooktop surface, the less efficient it becomes at capturing smoke and particles.” The typical installation distance between cooktop burners and the hood is about three feet. But a standard height installation for a range hood may not work for the tall cook, so it’s essential to choose a model with adequate power to remove air effectively. remodelershometour.com

If you choose a strong range hood fan, building codes may require a makeup air system in your home’s heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system. High-powered range hoods can take out large volumes of air, and if air is not replaced at the same rate it is expelled, a vacuum effect can be created in the home. All of the planning around the range hood is secondary if it is never pressed into service, says kitchen designer Molly Erin McCabe. “Range hoods are designed to remove moisture, grease and particulates from your home, and prevent these things from being breathed in and adhering to your walls, cabinets and furnishings,” McCabe says. “If the range hood isn’t used, homeowners might experience moisture-related issues, such as mold, and higher maintenance requirements for paint, wallpaper, cabinetry and furnishings.” The time to turn on the range hood

BY MARY G. PEPITONE

isn’t when water is boiling or food becomes blackened. “Make a habit of turning on your range hood before you begin cooking; that way, when you need it to be venting, you’ve already created an airflow,” McCabe says. “Also, don’t snap off the range hood as soon as you’re done cooking; really allow it to clear the air, so to speak. Some range hoods even come equipped with a timer, so you don’t have to interrupt a meal to flip a switch.” A range hood’s sound output is measured in sones -- an internationally recognized measurement of loudness -- and each is marked in a product description. One sone is roughly equal to the sound of a refrigerator running; while conversations take place around 4 sones. As a rule, the higher the range hood’s CFM rating, the louder the unit is when running. Range hood fans typically have three to six speeds; so to mitigate noise, purchase the most powerful range hood you can afford and run it on a lower speed. If the cooking surface is on a kitchen island, the capture area of the exhaust fan should be larger to compensate for the fact that the fan will be drawing air from an open space. But along with technical considerations, homeowners need to consider a range hood’s aesthetics. An island cooktop with a large hood vented to the ceiling can visually fight with hanging light fixtures, so an inconspicuous downdraft fan system might be the best solution. Range hoods have evolved from utilitarian stainless steel to the ubercool wrapped in cabinetry, and come in all shapes and sizes: from a straight-sided box to sleek, tapered styles. “A wall-mounted range hood can be housed in cabinetry that becomes the modern-day mantle in the kitchen,” Busse says. “The range area is often a focal point of the kitchen, with an eye-catching backsplash on the wall visually connected to the hood venting.” Remodelers Home Tour 2017 11

The owners of this one-and-a-half story 1939 bungalow loved the style of their home but needed more room and a more accessible second story. We contacted Shelly Johnson of Designs & Dwellings to redesign the house, keeping the historic look of the neighborhood. The project entailed demolishing the house down to the first floor, leaving a couple of exterior walls and the front fireplace. The expanded front porch includes tongueand-groove flooring and double columns with lattice work. The exposed rafters and beadboard roof decking add to the historic appearance. The old structure was 1,400 sq. ft. (1,000 sq. ft. downstairs and 400 barely accessible sq. ft. upstairs). The new home is a little over 2,900 sq. ft., with 1,850 sq. ft. downstairs and about 1,050 upstairs. The downstairs includes a master suite, a guest bedroom and an attractive kitchen with adjoining family room. The family room has a gas fireplace with bookcases and vaulted ceilings. The upstairs has two bedrooms with a shared bath and a large playroom. Reclaimed heart pine floors give the area a nostalgic old home look. The home also has a whole house vacuum system. DIRECTIONS Take Exit 10 off I-440 to Wake Forest Road toward downtown. Continue 1.2 miles to right on E. Whitaker Mill. In .7 mile turn right on Pine Drive. Take the next left on Hudson Street. House is the sixth on the right. OR, take Exit 7 off I-440 to Glenwood Ave. toward downtown. Continue 2.6 miles to left on E. Whitaker Mill. In 1/2 mile turn left on Reaves Road.

The owners of this cottage were in dire need of space. The second floor of the Cape Cod style home was accessed by a very narrow and steep staircase and contained one space about 12 ft. wide with sloped ceilings on both sides and only about 7 ft. high in the center. It was barely functional as a play space. Caudill Design Group designed a 1,300 sq. ft. second floor addition with a large recreation room, two bedrooms, a full bath and a home office with a private upper deck. Construction required removing the roof and second floor, bringing the staircase up to code, constructing the new second floor and roof and adding two dormers, while keeping the character of the home intact. An exceptional laundry/ mudroom was also added leading to the updated outdoor living space. The resulting home has 2,890 square feet with four bedrooms, three baths and plenty of room for the active family; but as important, the original home did not need to be demolished, reducing the cost of this home compared to numerous rebuilds in the neighborhood. Caudill Design Group also takes pride in retaining the 1940s character of the home. DIRECTIONS From I-440 E/US-1 N, take Exit 4 for Wade Avenue toward Cameron Village/RDU. Turn right on Wade (toward Cameron Village). Use the right lane to take the Oberlin Road ramp to Cameron Village. Turn left on Oberlin. Turn right on Wilshire Avenue. Turn left on Pineview Street. Destination is on the right.

Our clients built their home in 1994. Over the years, their needs changed and it was time to do some updating, so they called Wake Remodeling. We listened to the clients and developed a plan to transform their home, inside and out, to the space of their dreams. Our client is an exquisite cook, so we designed a kitchen to complement his skill. The kitchen features premium granite countertops and a gorgeous glass tile backsplash. It is simply stunning! The cabinetry is by Norcraft in antique white with a chocolate glaze and Cordova pulls that pop against the countertops. We also added a wet bar and half bathroom to make guests feel more at home. We converted an underutilized deck off the master suite to a delightful sunroom featuring Forest Liana tile and slider windows to let in that fresh air and enjoy a relaxing afternoon. We also built a brand-new deck using Spiced Rum Trex decking for years of enjoyment and very low maintenance. We cordially invite you to be our guest to see the rest of the features! DIRECTIONS From I-40, take Exit 293 and US-1 S to Tryon Road in Cary. Take Exit 98A from US-1 S. Head southeast on I-40 E. Take Exit 293 for US-1 E/US-64 W toward Sanford.

A CHEF’S KITCHEN Homeowners can cook like experienced epicures by borrowing design details from commercial kitchens. From creating a well-run workflow in the kitchen to the use of commercial-grade appliances in homes, culinary upgrades are big “bon vivant” business, says National Kitchen and Bath Association’s Bill Darcy. “Cooking is a popular pastime, and the kitchen is the hub of the home,” Darcy says. “Professional kitchen elements bring a level of sophistication and a gourmet feeling to a residential space.” When it comes to kitchen design, being on the cooking line is part of a homeowner’s lexicon. Whether there’s a long countertop or a free-standing island, a deliberately designed kitchen is essential to avoid accidents involving scalding or sharp items, says Adam Gibson, an NKBA-certified Kitchen and Bath Designer for 20 years. THE ISLAND The days of appliances being tethered to

walls are over. A kitchen island can house a second sink, cooktop or dishwasher. Dimensions of a kitchen island should be at least 4-feet-long by at least 2-feet-wide, but are often larger to proportionally fit a kitchen with an open floor plan. “There is a certain amount of show that happens when you’re preparing a meal, especially when entertaining guests,” Gibson says. “When diners are able to watch chefs in an open restaurant kitchen, people only see the drama of cooking, not the dirty dishes.” To shield guests from spills and splatters, consider a dual-height island with a 42-inch-high raised counter, which comfortably accommodates stools, and a lower 36-inch-high work counter for stashing dirty dishes. Also, the kitchen island should be surrounded by water sources. In addition to having a second sink for food preparation tasks, many larger kitchens have two

dishwashers. “Some homeowners opt for a professional sprayer over a deep non-divided sink with a garbage disposal,” Gibson says. “If boiling pasta is something that happens regularly in your home, you might consider a pot filler which is plumbed into the wall above the range.” Gibson says faucets that switch on and off with a touch or waving motion are also becoming more popular in the home kitchen. BRING THE HEAT AND CHILL OUT Elements of professional kitchen design are overlapping into the residential sector, and that is no more evident than in the appliances people buy. “High-grade ranges adapted for residential use take many design cues from commercial-grade ranges,” Darcy says. “Many designers are including built-in double ovens, freestanding ranges and tower wine storage in residential kitchens.”

New technology in an induction cooktop heats liquids faster and is a more efficient way to control the temperature, Gibson says. Also, homeowners are also opting for the largest refrigerator and freezer they can, instead of having a second one stowed in the garage or basement. Under-the-counter refrigerator drawers are also an organized way to store bottled beverages and allow people to serve themselves. An ancillary icemaker and wine refrigerator take cues from professional drink stations in restaurants. CLEAN, AIRY QUALITIES With an open-plan kitchen, everything is on display, so it’s important to have no-fuss, no-mess surfaces, such as engineered quartz stone countertops, which are both durable and require little maintenance, Gibson says. Also called e-stone or quartz countertops, engineered stone is a manufactured surface comprised mostly of quartz. The remaining ingredients include high-performance polymers, resins and pigments that are colorized for a monochromatic look or

made to mimic natural stone or concrete surfaces. Engineered stone is nonporous, waterproof and stain-, heat- and scratch-resistant. The surface of e-stone is smooth and can have a shiny or honed appearance. Because it lacks surface holes, engineered stone does not support the growth of bacteria and doesn’t require sealing as natural stone does. Removing smoke and cooking odors quickly and efficiently is the work of the range hood or a downdraft fan installed near the cooktop for ventilation. Backsplash tile near the range hood should be easy to clean up and wipe down. While recessed can lights can be a kitchen standard, task lighting for food preparation or plating dishes is essential above an island. The use of simple pendants or under-cabinetry lighting is a bright idea when more illumination is required for the task at hand. TWO-TOP OR TABLE FOR 10 Seating in an open kitchen is dictated by the home’s layout. People are tearing

down formal dining room walls and creating banquettes with comfortable seating that provide undivided, easy access to the kitchen, Gibson says. “You don’t want your kitchen to feel industrial, so I like the warmth of wood underfoot in a kitchen, which is both easy to clean and a contrast to the use of cool colors and stainless steel,” Gibson says. “Creating places for people to sit and eat together is important, whether it’s for a larger group or small gathering at the kitchen island.” AN EPICURE’S EQUIPMENT If a homeowner is investing in a kitchen that caters to the inner chef, it’s important to have cookware and utensils that match these delicious desires. But a kitchen and its cookware does not a chef make, Gibson warns. “It’s important to consult a design professional in the planning stages of a kitchen, before integrating more water sources and professional appliances with greater electrical and gas draws,” he says. “You don’t have to have a professional topof-the-line kitchen to be able to cook like a top chef.”

before In this kitchen renovation, the client wanted to refocus a well-loved kitchen area into a space that was more open for the couples’ modern needs. As near empty nesters, a space that had previously served the family well, needed a new life and focus on entertaining guests. The removal of a structural wall, lowering of a raised bar and knee wall, and brighter finishes took the kitchen from small and cozy to bright and welcoming. The more open plan allowed for a large central island to become the star of the kitchen with Calacatta Quartz lending a clean, classic look. Coordinating gray quartz on the perimeter and marble water-jet tiles over the cooktop bring in the on-trend aspects of current kitchen design without looking overly-trendy. A splash of cool color brightens up the breakfast nook, while the coordinating lighting keeps the space unified. The new space feels both elegant and inviting.

Turn left on Victory Church Road, then right on Wild Orchid Trail.

From the beginning, the clients had a plan – find a house with a great location on a great lot and remodel in the future. The kitchen had been updated by the previous owner and the time for remodeling the rest of the house had come. Their future home was to include a new master bathroom, laundry room, two-car garage and a new Trex deck with a screened porch. The redesign provides great curb appeal features as well as upgraded materials. The home interior was redesigned to open up the foyer and enlarge the family room. On the first floor, the new addition includes a two-car garage, full bath and family drop zone. Upstairs the new space has a dedicated laundry room, bedroom and office. The design was finalized and thorough specifications were documented to ensure that communication was clear and no detail was missed. Those specifications were then directly transferred to purchase orders with detailed checklists and plugged into a scheduling system. This process meant the renovation was completed in the shortest time possible, while keeping the highest quality of work. We love the details! Come see the results!

When purchasing this home in Preston Fairways, the owners knew that they would need to remodel to make it a home that would fit their lifestyle and accommodate their growing family. While the house had plenty of square footage for their needs, they wanted to improve the function of the home and create inviting open areas for everyday enjoyment and entertaining. After meeting with TrendMark to discuss the possibilities, we developed a plan to remodel the kitchen, family room and bathrooms and create a larger laundry room. We removed the wall separating the kitchen and family room to create an open concept floor plan. The new gourmet kitchen features modern custom wood stained cabinets, professional grade appliances and a large island with Calcutta Vintage Quartz with a waterfall edge design. The newly remodeled hall bathroom has a floating vanity, Carrara marble and a polished glass shower enclosure. The new enlarged laundry room features custom cabinets, quartz countertops and glass tile backsplash. The end result is a home they love and look forward to spending time with friends and family!

The homeowners of Gamelyn Walk originally contacted Eric W. Smith Builder Inc. to explore the possibilities of updating, toying with the idea of placing it on the market. Together a plan was developed and the beckoning transformation has the owner staying! First-floor walls were opened to unite the kitchen/eatin area to the family room. Expanding the family room with an addition met the need for ample gathering space. French doors to the new expansive deck organically merge the interior living to outdoor living and the deck wraps back to the kitchen, where a new mudroom and pantry enhance the function of the fully remodeled kitchen. Beautiful and modern with a gas cooktop, it inspires healthy, creative cooking in a space that’s a joy to gather in. Old hardwood floors were sanded and stained a warm walnut along with the new floors. Completing the downstairs, the powder room was elegantly refreshed. Carpet was replaced with hardwood on the stairs, upstairs hall and master bedroom. Moving a wall in the master bath expanded the shower and, fully remodeled, it’s now a welcoming retreat. The hall and bonus baths are brand new too! Every surface boast timeless finishes in this welcoming home.
