I made the layout more user friendly, added a whole wall of closets in the main bedroom, totally gutted kitchen and bath.

Replaced both toilets with brand new ones, replaced the 2 car- garage door with a brand new one, had all the walls freshly painted, put brand new baseboards in, and had the kitchen cabinets painted as well.

If you look at the kitchen cabinets those are the cheapest of the cheap.

From clogged drains and leaky faucets to ceiling fan installation, fences, painting up to small kitchen and bath remodels there isn't much we can't do.

Fridge/kitchen space. 

Unlike a kitchen or bathroom renovation your literally building a second house on the property and your dealing with everything from grading, soils, foundation, electrical, plumbing, framing etc.
