It was a Friday night in May, 2020, when this family of four lost their 2000 sqft home to a fire. Luckily, no one was severely injured in the blaze, even the family dog was safe. To the drawing board we went, set on building this family a new and more functional home than before. From framing to finishing we put their home back together and a year later they moved back in. The new and improved version of their old home with 4 beds and 3 baths was all they ever wanted, and they haven't looked back since.
