Another kitchen remodel, in the owner's words.

"Ben kept us in the driver's seat throughout the entire project."

One Contractor. Full Scope.

Decks, patios and porches are our thing, but we do a lot more than that.

  • 2,800sq ft

    Keystone Estate, Mt Pleasant

    A full teardown and rebuild for commercial use: 46 footers, eight helical posts 14 to 21 feet deep at the lake edge, over 600 lags in the beams, and a clear 1,700 square feet for gatherings.

  • Cottage rebuilt, frame to finish

    The owners' cottage had sentimental value, so we rebuilt it frame to finish: wood ceiling, stone fireplace, a new kitchen and baths.

  • 55square

    Onyx Black roof and exterior

    55 square of Owens Corning Onyx Black, Velux skylights, 400 feet of black soffit and fascia, and Provia stone where the siding was.
