Before	Kermit has many good ideas to guide you through the maze of design options. Twenty five years of experience comes with many connections and relationships which assure you that your new changes will utilize today's newest materials and reflect today's modern style. In the before pictures, shown here to the left - you see a complete make over is needed in this bathroom. Kermit is open-mined to your ideas but he has the vision to foresee the results. He makes the product connections for you to assure the results are beautiful. His extensive experience in remodeling and renovations aids you through the thought process - even if a homeowner doesn't know exactly what they want. After spending time with his clients to get to know them and their lifestyle preferences, Kermit can utilize his own insight and contacts to create the look they wish to achieve. Keeping costs under control is another reason to utilize a professional contractor. If your plans require major structural changes, Kermit may suggest an architect. He will also aid you in lining up all the contractors that will be required, such as a landscape designer and a pool builder. Engaging their services should be done in unison in order to keep the job moving. And since all exterior changes to your home usually require the approval of your homeowners association architectural review committee, be sure to request their approval of your plans before you get started. Reworking An Existing Floor Plan While the overall flow of this home was good and the basic essentials suited the lifestyle of this homeowner, just a few revisions were needed to make it more comfortable and give the home a contemporary ambience. High ceilings throughout the home lent a sense of openness, but the hallway seemed tight. While it actually measured to code width, its low ceiling made it seem close and confining. Plans were made to widen it  by only six inches. To balance the new, wider hallway, the doorway leading into the kitchen and family room would be expanded to match. The opening to this area featured the only arch in the home, which would be squared off to match the hallway opening. It was also determined that the first bedroom would make a great home office, with a new double French door entrance to open up the room. Since the generously sized window in the first bedroom faced the front of the home and looked out on a low, walled courtyard, replacing the window with another double French door and raising the existing courtyard wall slightly would create a private, cozy oasis. Of course, the first thing to go would be the old "popcorn" ceilings. The living room featured an intrusive painted brick fireplace and hearth with a narrow window on one side and a single French door on the other. To freshen, expand and balance the room, plans were made to remove the brick face and hearth and resurface it with faux stone from floor to ceiling, lending height.     The room's narrow window would be replaced by a single French door to add symmetry to the room and we ordered new French doors to match the existing door.
