Attic-to-Music Room Conversion in Davidson
As a design-build remodeling company, we love the challenge of turning underused spaces into something special — and this recent project hit all the right notes. Our clients wanted to convert their unfinished attic into a drum-friendly music room that could be used day or night without disturbing the rest of the family — or their neighbors. We started by assessing the attic’s existing layout and storage potential. Like many attic spaces, this one had knee walls— those low, an

The Power of a Welcoming Front Porch
A porch sets the tone for everything beyond your front door. When you expand the entrance, add custom design elements, or upgrade finishes, you elevate your home’s architecture and presence. Features like stained wood columns, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and wider staircases turn a simple entry into a grand, yet inviting, focal point. And for an extra “wow” factor, many homeowners are opting for double entry doors — a detail that feels both timeless and luxurious. Porch remod
