This residential project included a new office, master bathroom remodel, and kitchen updates. The condominium was comprised of two one-bedroom units that had been combined, but were opposing layouts.
A previous remodel included making one of the kitchens a whirlpool room with a sink, but not toilet. This room, on the master bedroom "side" was not used and the current bathroom was small and disconnected from the main bedroom. The entrance hallway, no longer used, was now open closet space.
The current owners decided to eliminate the whirlpool tub room and create a master bedroom suite. The master suit now includes an open area office space, additional closet space, and a larger and connected bathroom. J. Francis Company remodeled the master bathroom with aging in place considerations such as wider doors and no doors, creating a "master suite to eliminate doors, grab bars and blocking in walls for future needs, lower height cabinets and comfort height toilets, functional closet space, and showers with hand held units." Kitchen updates included new appliances, countertops, and matching cabinets for additional storage. Crown molding was added to upgrade several rooms.
Perhaps the biggest challenge was the building's construction type. Block walls and concrete floors allowed noise to travel and the building management limited construction activities to minimize disruption to other tenants. We managed all aspects including performing the work while the owners lived in Florida for the winter. The condominium now reflects an updated and appealing appearance which will enhance their lifestyle in future years.
“The design details were excellent. They took careful attention to detail. The management professionals at J. Francis Company were always accessible. We were very satisfied with the results of the project upon completion.”
