Many of our current projects are hitting that exciting stage where style and color begin to fill in the the rough sketches of framing and drywall. All of that time spent researching looks and styles and finishes and the endless pins and likes on Pinterest & Houzz are finally flying off the webpage and into a kitchen or living room. We also have a new porch project that just started but is already soaring in the trees. And, wait until the end for a complete surprise on our new custom home in Dawsonville.

Atlanta area homes have long considered the Screen Porch as an essential. They are perfect spots for enjoying our beautiful spring and fall weather and mitigating the sometimes hot, humid, muggy, and buggy weather Georgia summers usually bring. Modern porches offer more than just a place to sit on a rocking chair snapping green beans, as lovely as that image is. An extension of the family’s living space, it can be a place to relax, entertain, throw a dinner party, play Monopoly, and so much more.

Despite the slow down for many due to Georgia’s Stay at Home order, our essential business has stayed busy. As you can imagine, keeping projects going was important to our homeowners! Kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms are all of vital importance to each of our families. Enjoy a quick tour through some of busy month of April.

Hot, hot, hot! This week in Atlanta is going to be a scorcher. This family is getting their relief from the summer heat just in time! Let’s cool off on the porch.

This addition is coming together quickly! A panorama gives the big picture — gorgeous brick walls, foam insulation soon to be covered in cedar planks, and just around the corner, the fireplace.

How to add an awesome porch to your home. Screens? Yes! (In Georgia it’s practically a must!) A fireplace? Oh yes! (Fall & winter — here we come!) Brick? Absolutely! (Style points through the roof here!) Here’s a sneak peak of the thin brick going up on the fireplace and the porch walls. Can’t wait to see how this comes together!

Somehow, demolition seems to be everyone's favorite part of renovations. Who doesn't love a sledge hammer or sawzall making the sheetrock fly? For our newest project, we had some outside demolition to do, which can be tricky without planning and forethought.
