Northern Craft Before & After Photos

After getting remarried our client and his new wife wanted to renovate the old kitchen. We took down a couple of walls and added double doors leading to the new fireplace and the dining room. After removing the wall to allow for the double doors we replaced the old brick fireplace with a 3-sided stone fireplace. The floors are absolutely amazing. They are made up of Natural Oak with a Brazilian Cherry border.

Over 24 years ago we built the existing deck out of wood and now Sam is looking for something that requires a little less maintenance. We updated the deck using plastic so there is little effort needed to keep it looking new. One thing Sam did not want to lose was the raised paneling along the bottom of the deck. It really adds a special touch.

Our clients used their screened in porch all summer long but wanted to be able to utilize the space year-round. We insulated, rewired and finished the existing porch area. To ensure there was as much light was possible, we added recessed lights along the ceiling. In order to give to space a fully finished look we removed the siding from inside the porch/ sunroom and replaced it with sheetrock. I think my favorite feature is the doggy door.

Our client's deck posts were set in the ground and that caused them to slowly rot over time. We dug the posts up and filled the holes in. We were then able to create concrete footings for each of the posts. The deck posts are now above grade level and out of the way of any water that could potentially pool on the patio below the deck which would lead to more rotten wood.

SMALL BACK PORCH, Wanted a bigger patio covered area.  We added twice the space to the existing back porch area.
