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.
