PROJECT OVERVIEW
This project involved a full main floor renovation focused on the kitchen and living room, with the goal of improving flow, functionality, and overall visual impact. The homeowners chose Collaborative Construction for their responsiveness, professionalism, and willingness to customize the quote to match their specific needs.
The scope included a new kitchen layout with a large island, custom cabinetry, stone surfaces, new flooring, paint updates, and a major reconfiguration of the fireplace to open up the space. Throughout the project, careful attention was paid to both modern upgrades and meaningful personal details, including preserving and complementing furniture pieces made by the homeowner’s grandfather to blend the past with the present.

PROJECT WALKTHROUGH
“The goal was to tie the old and the new together while opening up the space. By reworking the layout, relocating the fireplace, and coordinating the cabinetry, stone, and finishes, the home now flows beautifully and feels like one cohesive space.”
– Donnie Ready, Project Manager (Collaborative Construction)
OUR APPROACH
The team took a highly collaborative and detail driven approach, starting with a customized plan that reflected the homeowners priorities and evolving needs. Clear communication was maintained through daily updates and scheduling visibility using Buildertrend, so the homeowners always knew what to expect and who would be on site. When unexpected challenges arose, the team proactively problem solved and kept the homeowners informed, finding thoughtful solutions even outside of normal work hours. Great care was taken to protect existing appliances, manage logistics like moving the refrigerator into place, and ensure every trade delivered top notch workmanship with consistent cleanup and respect for the home.
PROJECT OUTCOME
The finished space delivered a dramatic improvement in layout, flow, and functionality, with the oversized island and relocated fireplace becoming the visual and practical centerpieces of the home. The new cabinetry, stonework, lighting, and flooring created a cohesive, elevated look that feels both modern and warm. The homeowners were especially impressed by the attention to detail, quality of craftsmanship, and the team’s responsiveness throughout the process. The result is a main floor that feels more open, more connected, and far more usable for everyday living, earning a strong recommendation from the homeowners for both the experience and the final outcome.
