The Smiths — Bathroom Remodel

What started as a call about a small leak turned into a full bathroom rebuild. The source was a failing drop elbow at the shower head connection inside the wall — the kind of slow leak that does its damage quietly over years before anyone knows it's there. When we opened things up we found saturated framing and a rotted subfloor running the full shower footprint. Left alone another season, it would have been a much bigger problem.

We cut out all the deteriorated lumber, treated for mold, and rebuilt the subfloor and shower framing from scratch. From there the project became a full custom shower build — a mud bed shower pan with a large integrated bench seat, a waterproof membrane throughout the wet area, and customer-supplied porcelain tile on the walls and floor. The finished shower included a multi-function system with waterfall, rain, alternate jets, and a wand setting. A sliding glass door rounded it out. Clean, solid, and built to last this time.

 

The Smiths — Deck Build

The Smiths love their backyard, and after the bathroom project they came back with a bigger ask — a 600 sq ft deck (20' x 30') with built-in seating wrapping around the chimney and a dedicated 8' x 8' pad for a hot tub. A proper outdoor space for a family that actually uses it.

The build was clean and well-organized. The one wrinkle was footer placement near an underground power line — we had just enough clearance to work with, but we took the time to confirm depths and adjust layout rather than assume. Twelve footers, all poured and set to spec. From there everything went up square and true without any complicated framing adjustments. We passed every inspection on the first visit and handed over exactly what the Smiths had envisioned — their backyard, finally ready for the way they use it.

 

The Kyles

A straightforward scope with a tight timeline — remove a deteriorated rear staircase and replace it completely, including its foundation. The Kyles needed a clean, durable entry to their backyard garden patio without a big budget or a long build.

We used TimberTech premium composite decking for the treads and PVC 1x board for the risers — low maintenance, weather resistant, and a significant step up from the rotted wood they had. The frame went in with pressure-treated lumber rated for direct ground contact. Day one was demo and new footer installation. Day two was construction. Two days on site, zero callbacks. Sometimes the best work is the kind that just quietly gets done right.

 

E.B. — Open Concept I-Beam Installation

Sometimes a small project is anything but small — it just has a small footprint on the calendar. The E.B. job was a single focused scope: remove a center load-bearing wall on the first floor and replace it with a steel I-beam, opening the living room and kitchen into one continuous space. No gut remodel, no addition — just precise structural surgery on an occupied home.

Before any existing framing was touched, we built out a full temporary shoring system to carry the floor load above. We then removed the wall, set the steel I-beam spanning the full opening, and installed joist hangers across its entire length to pick up every floor joist. Once the beam was confirmed and connections secure, the temporary supports came down. The ceiling was patched, the finishes restored, and the work disappeared into the house — leaving nothing but the open space the homeowner had always wanted. The result speaks for itself.
