See what we finished: remodels, additions and tenant improvements.

Partly. The photographs on this page are ours: our own jobs, shot on the site, some by a photographer we hired and some by us while the work was underway, and dated wherever the original file carries a date. The written project record that belongs under each one is not published yet, and this page says plainly which is which rather than letting a gallery imply the rest.

01Why there are no records yet

A short set of our own photographs is a fact. A borrowed gallery is a lie.

This website is new, and a new website has no published record. The industry answer to that is well known: buy a stock library, or crop a supplier’s marketing shot tightly enough that nobody asks. Both are easy to spot, and a homeowner who spots one has learned something true about how the rest of the paperwork will read.

So this page holds the shape of the record as well as the record. The photographs below are our own sites and our own crews, published with the owners’ permission and dated wherever the file allows; the eight-field record that belongs under each of them is written out in the next section and will be filled in as the jobs close out. A drawing labelled as a drawing still stands where a photograph has not been earned.

02What a project record will contain

Eight fields, every entry, including the ones that are awkward.

A portfolio that only carries a photograph and a room name is an advertisement. These are the fields that make an entry checkable.

Scope as contracted

What the signed line-item scope actually covered, not a description written afterwards to match the photographs.

Jurisdiction and permits

Which authority reviewed it, what was permitted, and which inspections the job carried from rough-in to final.

Structure touched

Whether walls moved, what was load-bearing, and what engineering the change needed. The part a photograph cannot show.

Trade sequence

The order the trades ran in and where the handoffs sat: the same six-phase sequence, applied to a real house.

Duration, start to sign-off

Calendar weeks from demolition to signed punch list, and how many of those were spent waiting on review or on a material.

Change orders

How many were raised, and what triggered them: a concealed condition, an inspector, a selection over allowance, or a change of mind.

Our own photography

Before, during and after, shot on that site with the owner’s written permission. Nothing else will ever appear here.

What we would do differently

One honest line per job. A portfolio without this field is a brochure, and everybody reading it already knows that.

03What will never appear here

Four things this page is committed to not doing.

No stock imagery: Not one purchased interiorIf we did not build it, it does not go on this page, however good the lighting is.
No borrowed jobs: Nothing from another businessAnother company’s finished work is that company’s portfolio, and it stays there.
No invented numbers: No project count, no years countWe will publish a total when there is a set of records here to count.
No stars or badges: No ratings, awards or sealsNo review score, no five-star graphic, and no rating markup in this page’s structured data.

04The first photographs

The drawing kept its promise.

The plate beside this text used to be a plan study, a line drawing that admitted it was a drawing, holding this space until we had photographs of our own to put in it. It held that space for exactly as long as it needed to.

These are those photographs: our own jobs, shot for us on the dates written under each plate, and published with the homeowners’ permission. Five jobs appear on this page: a re‑side in the valley and a house above Lake Tahoe, both shot on 28 October 2025, then further down two bathrooms photographed while we built them, in 2021 and 2022, and a finished kitchen. A full project record (scope, numbers, and the one honest line about what we would do differently) takes longer to earn than a photograph, and the records will land here as they are written. The two checks that matter before anyone signs still stand: whether the estimate is specific, and whether the person on the phone can describe your job in the right order.

See the six phases

Gable end of a re-sided house: a round louvred vent set into new vertical siding under a dark fascia return — 28 October 2025: the gable of a re‑side, with the louvred vent set back into the new siding and the fascia returned around the corner.

A black carriage lantern remounted on new painted siding beside a white door casing — Same house, same morning: the porch lantern back on the finished wall, and the door casing it sits beside.

Aerial view of a two-storey house with a red-framed deck built among granite boulders and pines above Lake Tahoe — A different job, flown 28 October 2025: a house set into granite above Lake Tahoe.

Aerial view of a green-sided house among tall pines with Lake Tahoe and the far shore beyond — The same house from higher up, looking out over the water. No town is named under these plates. We publish the date and the work, not a location we have not confirmed.

A primary bathroom, May 2022

Four weeks of one bathroom, from the day the walls and ceiling came open to the week the glass went in. Each date is read from the original photograph.

Bathroom opened up for a remodel: ceiling and walls cut back to the framing, wiring pulled down, subfloor bare — 4 May 2022: the room opened up. Ceiling and walls cut back to the framing, the old floor off to the subfloor, and the new vanities waiting in plastic.

Patterned floor tile and white wall tile set, with a wooden soaking tub and two vanities placed and the ceiling still open — 11 May 2022, a week later: floor and wall tile set, the tub and both vanities placed, the ceiling still open in places.

Bathroom near completion with a walk-in shower behind a glass panel, a wooden soaking tub and two wood-topped vanities — 31 May 2022: the same room near the end, with the shower glass, the tub filler and both vanities in.

Walk-in shower with one glass panel, a ceiling rain head, a tiled niche and a linear drain beside a wooden soaking tub — Same day, closer: the patterned floor carries straight into the shower to a linear drain.

A bathroom floor with a stone inset, autumn 2021

Ten days on one floor in a different house: the old tile off, new tile set around a dark stone inset, then grouted and finished around the fixtures.

Bathroom floor stripped of its old tile down to the thinset, with the far wall opened to the studs and insulation — 27 September 2021: the old floor tile off down to the thinset, and the outside wall open to the studs.

Large pale floor tile freshly set with green leveling clips around a dark stone inset — 5 October 2021: the new floor set around a dark stone inset, held flat with leveling clips while the mortar cures.

Dark stone floor inset framed by a braided mosaic border within pale field tile — 6 October 2021: the inset grouted, framed in a braided mosaic border.

Finished bathroom with a pale tile floor, a toilet, a wall-mounted towel warmer and a glass shower — Same day: the floor finished around the toilet, the towel warmer and the glass shower.

A finished kitchen

Three frames of one finished kitchen. These files reached us without a shoot date, so none is printed under them. We would rather leave the date off than guess it.

Remodeled kitchen with white shaker cabinets, a farmhouse sink, dark large-format floor tile and a cushioned window seat — White shaker cabinets, a farmhouse sink and a built-in window seat.

Galley kitchen with white shaker cabinets and a dark tile floor, opening through a wide doorway to the dining room — The galley, looking through to the dining room.

Professional-style gas range with red knobs under a stainless hood, against a stone-look backsplash with under-cabinet lights — The range wall: hood, backsplash and under-cabinet lighting.

05What to look at instead

Three pages that tell you more than a gallery would.

How a job runs

The six phases and the document each one ends in. A contractor who can describe the order is a contractor who has run the order.

What it is likely to cost

A planning range for a Reno and Sparks remodel by room, size, finish tier and whether structure moves.

The questions page

Long answers on contracts, draws, permits and living in the house while the work happens.

06Start a conversation

A few photographs so far, and no portfolio yet. A walkthrough, an estimate and a sequence, we can do today.

If a full portfolio is what you need before you can decide, say that on the call and we will tell you honestly which jobs are photographed, which are still open, and when the written records will be published here.
