Keep the house. Change the possibilities.
A home transformation can be as modest as a better entrance or as involved as a new approach to how the space works.
Start with how you live.
The most satisfying changes are rarely about following a trend. They solve something real: a room that never works, an entrance that doesn't welcome you home, or outdoor space you could use differently.
The 13629 transformation
Our documented homeowner project brings the exterior, entryway and backyard into one conversation. Color, planting, the front door and the surrounding details were considered together so changes could build toward one cohesive result.
How the house reads from the street, how materials and natural light change the color decision, and which elements to prioritize first.
A front entrance should communicate the character of the home and make arrival feel intentional. Small architectural and material changes can matter more than added decoration.
Existing landscape, mature planting, water features and everyday use belong in the design brief before any contractor starts.
The authentic photo pairs will be presented here once selected from the homeowner archive, with each change labeled accurately. No artificial reconstructions.
Planning before hiring
For painting, remodeling and additions, we can help clarify the questions and the scope you should take to independently qualified professionals. We do not claim to perform construction or guarantee permits, quotes or contractor performance.
Considering an ADU?
Additional living space may be worth evaluating, but feasibility depends on the specific parcel, setbacks, utilities, existing buildings, access, zoning and applicable city review. Preapproved plans do not replace a permit or site-specific checks.
