🏢 Our Biggest Project Yet: 5,000 Sq. Ft. Studio Transformation! 🛠️

This was one of our most exciting and challenging projects—a complete build-out of a 5,000 sq. ft. martial arts, dance, and fitness studio. The first picture shows the empty space when we started, the second shows the flooring going down, and the third shows the incredible final result!

This project took us over 3 months to complete, and today, it’s home to The Michigan Center for Capoeira. From bare floors to a vibrant, functional space for movement and learning, we couldn’t be more proud of the transformation.

Stay tuned—we’ll be sharing more pictures of this amazing project soon! 👀

💥 Breaking Through: Big Project at The Michigan Center for Capoeira 🛠️

When we started working on this project, we knew it was going to be a heavy one—literally! 😂 The task? Combining two retail store units into one large space by creating and opening 3 doorways, which meant breaking through a solid cinderblock wall.

The first picture shows me measuring up the wall, and the second is when we started breaking through to install the support beam before continuing with the demolition. The third pic shows the first doorway completed, and the last one reveals all three doorways done!

This project wasn’t just physically demanding—it left us with a mountain of debris, 2.5 tons to be exact! 💪 But in the end, the space was completely transformed, and it was all worth it.

🔥 Chimney Maintenance: Sometimes, a Little Love Goes a Long Way! 🧱

We were called in to patch up this chimney that needed some serious attention. The owner wasn’t looking to replace or rebuild the entire thing—just a quick and effective solution to keep everything in working order. So, we got to work grinding the grout between the cinder blocks, refilling, and fixing it up as best as we could.

While this may seem like a straightforward task, there are definitely safety risks involved. It’s always best to consult with a professional before tackling projects like this. We had to carefully consider many small and large details before moving forward to ensure the job was done safely and effectively.

Unfortunately, we forgot to take an "after" picture of the final result—but we did manage to grab a shot of me completely covered in dust! 😂

🧺 Laundry Room Makeover: Space Efficient & Functional 🛠️

We recently redesigned this laundry room to make it more space-efficient while adding plenty of storage and workspace. Here’s what we did to transform the space:

• Completely redid the flooring.
• Relocated the washer and dryer with new plumbing and added outlets.
• Installed tall custom cabinets above the washer and dryer for extra storage.
• Built a custom cover over the washer and dryer to create a spacious folding area.
• Added a brand-new utility sink with a sleek cabinet for additional functionality.

The result? A spacious, efficient, and stylish laundry room that makes doing laundry a breeze! The client couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. 😍

Do you think something like this would look good in your home?
