Kitchen Remodel

Thats what I call starting from scratch Lee. Great end result. Did you build the cupboards as well?.

Hi Grumpy;

Yes sir.

My actual business, or at least was General Contractor. We handle everything from demolition to handing the owner the key. (including building the cabinets and cupboards).

Thank you Grumpy;

How did you do the finish work, it looks really nice.

Hi Kev;

Believe it or not it is a brushed on paint, complete with brush stroke marks! This was at the request of the architect. A more authentic replication of the period of the house.

And, although I didn’t like the idea of it, I did like the finished look very much.

And thank you for the compliment!

Lee. A very nice completion. The space improved and the cabinets are very nice.

Nice work, Lee. As expected.

Did you do the tile work also? That looks like a two week job, just doing the tiles alone. The whole project looks amazing. Very nice work.

Nice Lee. If we were close together, I would have you do mine…......SERIOUSLY!

Hi John;

That particular glass style really did add to the look of the kitchen. Again chosen by the architect.

Well get busy building it. You’ll score a lot of brownie points for it!

Thank you;

Hi Bradford;

Yes we did the tile also, and what pain it was. The client is very “anal”. He double checked things he already double checked.

The tiles are an expensive designer tile, made of glass which are mounted to a piece of paper, somewhat haphazardly, with chipped and warped pieces throughout.

The installation process involved setting these 1 foot square sheets, paper side out, so you cant see the tile itself as your working. The following day you remove the paper by wetting it.

Some of the tiles are so warped they come off with the paper! Installation instructions are very specific on the type trowel used for the thinset. The teeth are so small the warped tile barely touched the wall.

We had to go back after removing the paper and installing the individual pieces with epoxy. The owner would pick out individual tiles and complain about the chips and irregularities in the pattern.

Not the best choice of tile for an anal client. Again the architect.

But in the end everyone was happy, and it does look good.

The floor tile was just as bad, regarding irregularities except they weren’t a mosaic style, (mounted to a sheet). Imagine setting individual 2” square tiles. Very frustrating trying to keep things straight.

I guess that’s part of the fun of a construction business.

I like the design. I go for a clean look without alot of ornamentation. The “in-progress” shot looks alot like my house did when I got into it.

Hi Michael;

I too am rather fond of this kitchen. Rather simple, yet elegant.

Thank you;
