Remodeling
in Dayton, Ohio

Kitchens, baths, basements, sunrooms, additions and the interior finish work that ties them together. One crew carries the framing, drywall, paint and trim, which is why the new part ends up matching the part that was already there.

What we do

Remodeling that looks original

The hard part of a remodel is not building the new part. It is making the new part look like it was always there. That is trim, mortar, paint and patience, and it is the reason we keep every trade in house instead of handing the finish work to whoever is free.

  • Sunrooms and enclosed porches

    A room that was built as an afterthought, brought up to the standard of the rest of the house. Framing, insulation, drywall, windows, siding and the flat roof over the top of it if that is what is leaking. If what you want out back is an open deck rather than an enclosed room, we build those too.

  • Windows, doors and new openings

    Changing what an opening is, not just what is in it. A patio door closed down to a window, a wall opened up between two rooms, a door moved. Framing, header, flashing, brick or siding to close it back in, and the interior trim to finish it.

  • Interior finish work

    Framing, insulation, drywall hung taped and finished, paint, trim and flooring. This is most of what a remodel actually is, and it is the part that decides whether the job looks professional or looks patched.

  • Basements

    Turning storage space into space you actually use. Framing and insulating against foundation walls, closing in mechanical rooms and utility spaces properly, then drywall, floor and finish.

  • Kitchens and baths

    Cabinets, tile, plumbing fixtures and finish work, done by the same crew that does the framing, drywall, paint and trim you can see on the projects further down this page. Call us and we will come out and walk it with you.

  • Additions and whole-home renovation

    New square footage from the footing up, or a whole house taken back and rebuilt room by room. We have an addition framed and dried in right now. Bring us the drawings, or the problem, and we will price the work in writing.

The part nobody photographs

Making the new part disappear

Anyone can hang drywall. The reason a remodel reads as original or reads as an obvious repair comes down to a short list of unglamorous decisions, and this is the list we actually work to.

  • Brick sourced to match the existing colour, size and profile, then toothed in running bond rather than butted against it
  • Mortar mixed to match the existing joint colour and tooled to the same 3/8 inch
  • New brick face cleaned afterward so mortar smear and efflorescence do not give it away
  • Drywall taped and finished in three coats feathered out into the existing surface
  • Wainscoting fabricated to the existing panel style, with the cap rail aligned where it meets the old run at both ends
  • Trim wrapped in custom bent aluminium, and siding matched in profile rather than in something close enough
  • Paint matched to the existing colour and put on in two coats, not one

What that looked like on one job

A Dayton homeowner wanted a sliding patio door gone and a window in its place, which means most of the opening has to become wall again. The brick below the new window was specialty sourced as a multi-tone blend to match, then toothed into the existing wall in running bond over roughly seventeen and a half square feet, with light grey mortar mixed to match and a cast stone sill course set at the base.

Inside, the new wall was framed, insulated and drywalled, feathered into what was already there, painted sage green to match the room, and the existing wainscoting was extended across the new section with the cap rail lined up at both ends.

You can read that one in full further down. It is the second card.

How it goes

From the walkthrough to the final walk

  1. Walk it with us

    Pick a day on the calendar and we come out and look at the actual space. The walkthrough and the estimate are free, and the person walking it is the person who will be on the job.

  2. Scope in writing

    You get an itemised scope you can read, line by line, before anything is ordered. If something is an allowance rather than a fixed price, it says so on the line.

  3. Permits and ordering

    Where the work needs a building permit we pull it and follow it up, and that is on us, not on you. Long-lead items get ordered before demolition starts rather than after.

  4. Protect, then open it up

    Floor protection down and the work area closed off from the rest of the house before anything comes apart. You keep living in the house while we work in one part of it.

  5. Build and finish

    Framing, insulation, drywall, paint, trim and flooring, in that order, with the matching decisions made deliberately rather than at the end when it is too late.

  6. Walk it again

    We walk the finished work with you before we call it done, and the house gets cleaned rather than swept. Anything that goes on the list gets fixed before the crew leaves.

Questions

What homeowners ask us

Do you do kitchens and bathrooms?

Yes. Cabinets, tile, plumbing fixtures, and the framing, drywall, paint and trim around them. It is the same crew and the same finish standard as the projects on this page.

Call us and we will come out and walk it. The walkthrough and the itemised scope are free either way.

Can we live in the house while you work?

Usually yes, and most of our residential work gets done that way. Floor protection goes down and the work area gets closed off from the rest of the house before anything comes apart, so the dust stays in the room we are working in.

If there is a stretch where a kitchen or a bathroom is genuinely out of service, you will know that from the schedule before it happens rather than on the morning it happens.

How long does a remodel take?

It depends entirely on scope, and we would rather write you a real schedule than quote a range we made up. What we can tell you is that the schedule comes with the written scope, before anything is ordered.

What genuinely moves a timeline is what we find once a wall is open, which is the next question.

What happens if you open a wall and find something worse?

It gets written up before anyone touches it. On a sunroom in Dayton a planned three-by-five foot drywall patch turned out to be three separate layers of drywall stacked one over another. That went into a change order, in writing, rather than becoming a conversation about the bill at the end.

That is the rule on every job. Nothing extra proceeds until it exists on paper and you have seen it. If an item is an allowance rather than a fixed price, the line says so from the start.

Will the new work match what is already there?

That is the part we spend the most effort on. Brick gets sourced to match colour, size and profile and then toothed into the existing bond instead of butted up against it. Mortar gets mixed to the existing joint colour and tooled to the same width. Drywall gets feathered out into the old surface over three coats. Trim gets fabricated to the existing profile and aligned where it meets the old run.

The window wall project on this page is the clearest example of it, and the whole point of that job was that you should not be able to tell.

Do you pull the permit?

Where the work needs one, yes. We pull it and we follow it up, and that is on us rather than on you. Structural work, additions and anything that changes an opening or a circuit is usually where it comes up.

Do you build additions?

Yes. There is one framed and dried in right now. Floor system, exterior walls, engineered trusses, sheathing, house wrap and the roof tied into the existing house so the valley and the ridge blend in rather than announcing themselves.

Bring us the drawings if you have them. If you do not, bring us the problem and we will work back from that.

Who actually shows up on the job?

Our crew. The person who walks your house during the estimate is the one who finishes the work. We carry demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, paint, tile and trim in house, which is why nobody gets to blame the next trade for the schedule slipping.

You can read about the guys who make it happen on our about page, and see the commercial side of it on our commercial build-outs page.
