Brand New In-Law Attic Suite

Our team has been working on this in-law attic suite for some time, and it’s so exciting to see the finished product. The homeowners wanted to utilize their attic space better and decided to build an in-law suite that included two bedrooms, one bath, a spacious living room, a kitchenette, and even a laundry nook.

By installing skylights, we brightened the space beautifully. We also used light-toned paints, hardwood floors, and detailed trim work to create an attic oasis to be loved for years and years to come. The homeowners also did a great job of decorating the space, so it’s comfy yet sophisticated.

Before you preview the final work, watch this video as James takes us through a tour during the construction phase –

Modern & Sleek Kitchen

We just finished updating this kitchen with a modern and updated look!

While this is a lovely kitchen as is (see the before photo below), the new homeowners set out to make the space more modern. They called us to help them achieve the perfect look!

We helped stay on-budget by using the existing kitchen layout and by painting the cabinets vs. installing new ones. We also installed beautiful new countertops, added full-height backsplash, installed modern lightning, and painted to create our client’s dream kitchen!

Fresh New Kitchen: Minor Kitchen Renovation

We recently remodeled this outdated kitchen and brought it back to life with a fresh new look! We made some significant changes but did not have to do a total gut job, as this was more of a minor kitchen renovation. The bones of the kitchen were solid, but we made numerous updates to create the clean and updated look the homeowners were seeking.

Our team at McDonald Contracting went to work with installing new cabinets, new countertops, new flooring, new appliances, and painting the trim and walls. The final kitchen renovation gave our client their dream kitchen without breaking the bank. We helped them keep costs down by not altering their current kitchen layout and by using moderately priced materials and appliances.
