Finished jobs, with the awkward parts left in.

Every case study says what we found once the wall was open, or once the old slab came out, and what it did to the schedule. That is the part most galleries leave out, and it is the part you actually need.

The finished basement living room with a television mounted over the shiplap fireplace on a wood mantel shelf, flat gray walls, gray plank flooring and daylight coming in from the window wall on the right.

A basement finished around a shiplap fireplace wall

Board, tape, texture, paint and trim on one basement, built around a shiplap chimney breast with the fireplace set into it.

The finished kitchen sink run: gray paneled cabinets, a white quartz countertop, a stainless undermount sink under the window and white subway tile carried up to the underside of the wall units.

A kitchen brought back without moving a single wall

Walls, ceiling and trim brought back around new gray cabinets and quartz, without moving a single thing.

The finished basement: the new ceiling textured, painted and carrying two flush dome lights, fresh carpet laid wall to wall, and the room back in use with a sofa and side table against the far wall. The original green dado, dark chair rail, wood paneling and louvered oak door were kept.

A 1970s basement ceiling taken out and put back flat

A tongue-and-groove ceiling with boxed fluorescents in it, taken down to the joists and replaced with board, tape, texture and paint.

Odds and ends

Other rooms, and a few stages nobody photographs.

Demo, a wall opened up, a floor going down. These are the stages that decide how the finish work lands, and they are worth seeing before you hire anybody.

A finished living room corner painted flat white, with a modern fireplace under a dark floating mantel, pale plank flooring and a single window looking onto the fence line. — Flat white walls and a dark floating mantel. The whole point of a wall like this is that there is nothing on it to catch your eye. More on painting

The bathroom after painting, with walls and ceiling recoated in a warm greige, a new white paneled door and casing hung, and the existing oak vanity, concrete counter and mirror kept in place. — Same vanity, same counter, new everything else: walls and ceiling recoated, and a new door and casing hung and painted. More on painting

The same bathroom before work: an oak vanity with a poured concrete counter and two sinks, a tub and shower behind a curtain at the far end, travertine tile underfoot and cream walls throughout. — The same bathroom before we started, with the original cream walls and trim throughout. More on painting

A kitchen part-way through: the sage green wall units and tiled backsplash still in place while the base cabinets are out, exposing insulated stud walls and open plumbing above newly laid oak flooring. — Base cabinets out, stud walls and plumbing open, new floor already down. Not pretty, but this is the stage that decides whether the finish work lands. More on drywall

A shower stripped back to the structure: the pan lifted out down to a fresh plywood patch in the subfloor, supply pipes and the drain standing open, and the surrounding tile and drywall cut away to sound material. — A shower taken back to the structure. The subfloor got a fresh plywood patch before anything new went near it. More on drywall

A travertine shower part-way through, with the tiled walls and their diamond border left sound and a section of the wet wall opened up beside the shower head to reach the valve behind it. — Sound travertine left alone and only the wet wall opened up to reach the valve. Cutting more than you need to is how a repair turns into a remodel. More on drywall
