What do you when you're trying to follow the rules and pull permits, but the city won't let you do simple updates to your en-suite because the existing layout doesn't meet code?

A) Do nothing and continue to watch the shower degrade.

B) Tell the building department, "Ah that seems reasonable and not at all inconvenient. We'll just leave it like is." Update it anyways.

C) Alter your roofline in order to meet code for the existing layout.

D) Have HB&R reconfigure everything. You double the size of your shower, get a more conveniently located pocket door, and custom storage.

Choose wisely, and ignore the yahoo taking one of the "before" pictures.

After our clients chose "D" ("B" is tempting to be sure, but permits are good insurance for all involved parties), they were able to squeeze out every inch to not only meet code, but also to make their bathroom layout work better than before.

Thanks for bringing us along for this one.

Great review from Natalie... "Quick, easy to book and it's nice to talk on the phone to the same staff and see same staff over the years"

Our customer had "big" problems...

Big empty wall,
Big empty yard,
Big view of the big yard being obstructed by the big wall.

They had big solutions. They asked us to transform their space with this 450-square-foot deck, a spacious 20' x 20' pergola, and an custom door wall that opens up the dining room to their 10 acre property.

Can I have one?

Dear Basement,

Thank you for making something of yourself. We always knew you had it in you, and are looking forward to enjoying the additional space!

Love,
Your owners

Gotta love a heated floor in a basement!

The loft seriously capitalized on this home's potential!

Our clients came up with the ingenious idea of extending their second floor over the foyer to add a little extra usable square footage. Now they have a comfortable space to work from home with a two story view of their neighborhood. The custom railing is icing on the cake!

A very special thanks to Bill and Corrine Weber for trusting us with your home, staying premium, and sending some pics years later🤣.

Our kids decided to do a fresh take on the classic lemonade stand. Peach juice and/or La Croix. I went with the combo (Gabe's creation). He's putting tally's on the back of the sign to track customers, and asked if they could advertise ...without it being suggested btw. Day one in business he's better than me🤣🤣.

No guarantee of how long supplies or attention spans will last, but if you find yourself in the vicinity of Magnolia Drive in Flat Rock, stop by and practice redirecting conversation away from Minecraft.

Thinking about remodeling your fireplace? Taking that step turned this builder grade afterthought into a focal point and an inviting space to relax and enjoy with friends and family.

This was a fun portion of a larger project. Our clients' vision for this space came together beautifully. The warm glow of the shelf and mantel lighting makes the invitation to unwind even harder to refuse.

It's been a hot minute since we've posted😬. Here's to being better about it🍻

These clients love their home but decided it was time for updates that reflect their lifestyle and long term plans.

The kitchen was part of a larger project that included a fireplace, powder room, and 2nd floor loft and staircase. Pictures to come!

Our customer received a grant to upgrade their existing main bath into one tailored more towards caring for their adult disabled daughter. We installed a barrier-free shower system and extended the waterproofing throughout the rest of the bathroom floor, just to ensure there would be no issues wheeling a wet chair in and out of the shower. We're very grateful to have been a part of this project!
