A successful renovation or new build starts well before the first hammer swing. The pre-construction phase is where clarity, planning, and alignment come together—laying the groundwork for a project that runs smoothly and results in a home that reflects the people who live in it.
Kitchen Remodeling
A number of our current projects have involved remodeling kitchens — complete redesigns that served to answer some of our clients biggest kitchen problems. Have you ever caught yourself saying things like this?
“What are you guys saying? Stop saying anything important! I’m in the kitchen. Wait until I can join you in the living room.”
Decisions that Impact
When embarking upon any project, remodel or design & build, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the sheer number of decisions to be made. The list of decisions marches through the homeowner's mind. What kind of windows should I choose? What kind of handles do I want on this sink? What kind of shutter dogs should I choose? How about the style of siding?
Luxe Bathroom
This fall, Benjamin Andrew Construction was busy taking blueprints and making realities -- renovated bathrooms, kitchens, additions, and outdoor living space. These projects give a great showcase of what we're all about -- custom solutions to all sorts of renovation needs. We can take out, add on, take off, go up, and go out, and we do it all with a craftsman sense of preserving the good, refreshing the tired, and renewing with tried and true materials that will last. The next few weeks, we'll bring you tours of our finished projects. Can't wait to share them all!
Gone Farmhouse Yet?
This decorating, design, and even architectural style is in full swing -- a fresh take on a old idea. A fresh look at a traditional, nostalgic, yet simplified version of country.

Barn Door Boom
What makes the trend in barn doors so hot right now? Are you afraid to jump on this trend because it may fade and be yesterday's brass fixture all too soon? The overall trend of incorporating rural design with city life is not new (remember those country style living rooms from the 90's?); it has merely changed and grown with time.
