Richey Bathroom (January, 2022)

Posted on January 26, 2022February 9, 2023 by Patrick McCann

This hall bath update for a 4-time repeat client was super fast and easy. Full gut of the floor, vanity, tub, bath, and shower. Tore out the old insert and tiled it up to the ceiling with a built-in 24" niche centered on the back wall. Love the choice of hexagon tiles, as those are super in vogue right now and definitely added to the value of the home! Here are some of our favorite picturesfr...

Bathroom Vanity Secrets

Posted on January 18, 2021February 23, 2021 by Patrick McCann

Talking about a bathroom vanity being a cabinet is like talking about square being rectangles but forgetting that not all rectangles are squares.

The definition for vanity could be, “a combination of a sink and the storage structure around it. In addition to storage, it also hides exposed...

Posted on September 11, 2020February 23, 2021 by Patrick McCann

For young children, there are no dedicated play areas; everywhere is a playground, including the kitchen.

With all the movable appliances and cooking ware, the kitchen is not exactly the safest place for ...

With modern technology advancing as fast as it is, household tasks are becoming much easier.

January, 2024 Project Spotlight
A project done by McCann signifies an association with The Best. This is because, with McCann, you get exclusive access to the best in the business: the people and products only elite-level contractors and insiders know about. This is exactly what Court & Catherine got when they decided to remodel their kitchen, living room, and floors. And when they came to us with architectural prints of the project, we were ready to help them make their dream a reality. This kitchen remodel had it all! (1) Knocking out the divider wall between the old kitchen and the dining room. (2) Removing old soffits and moving all the plumbing inside. (3) Custom-order cabinets and LVP flooring run throughout the whole first floor. We were super proud to put this together for them and they couldn’t be happier!

Moore Deck (Oct, 2022)
This deck transformation was awesome. 25′ x 12′ with a double picture frame pattern in the center. Custom sandwich rails with sanded 2×6 top caps that are perfect for setting drinks on. And this family loves to entertain on weekends, so we added custom frame blocking and double ledger bolts for extra long-term structural strength. We also added a custom double-width staircase for ease of entry for multiple people to enter/exit simultaneously. We also converted the existing window into a full sliding glass door that is perfectly flush with the deck (within 1/32″) for ease of use. This project was simply a blast to put together.

And when they came to us with architectural prints of the project, we were ready to help them make their dream a reality. Here are some of our favorite picturesfrom the Cloran project (click to enlarge): This project was a doozy! We restructured literally the entire first floor – kitchen, 2x bathrooms, 4x bedrooms, added a new entry door, took out load-bearing walls, raised the ceiling, added a laundry room, removed a fireplace, and even moved the basement stairwell halfway across the house!
