Renovations & Remodeling

From repairing disasters caused by wind, lightning, flood or fire to updating the look of your home with the gradual wear of the years, we can do anything in the name of renovations and remodeling.

Today, that includes "greening up" your home to be more energy efficient. Old water heaters, poor insulation, single-pane glass, and drafty doors and windows are the equivalent of money blowing out of your pocket. "Keeping what you got" is the byword of the energy-efficient makeover. We stay up-to-date with the latest technology and trends.

Homes, no matter when they were built, can benefit dramatically from one of our tailored renovation programs. Mark Davis has put in a lifetime of experience in "seamless age-matching." In other words, when we are done, you won't be able to detect what is original and what is new. So it is possible to stay authentic even while you modernize your home.

Case History Tornado Damage

Hit by a tornado, the chapel had become a Leaning Tower of Pisa. Unsafe to enter and about to be condemned, except for one frivolous little detail: an important wedding had been scheduled just 50 days away. Lazy River inspected the structure and felt it was salvageable. They brought in engineers to confirm the fact and started work with the clock ticking.

The structure was righted with an unobtrusive system of columns, trusses, braces and something more right out of the Renaissance: flying buttresses, as seen in the famous Notre Dame of Paris and Westminster Abbey. The result was a chapel that was even more beautiful than it had ever been. And the wedding was held right on time.

Case History Seamless Remodeling

The project was to double the size of a 65-year-old home now in use as an office building. The property had retained its oak floors, woodwork, and period trim. It was also important to protect the integrity of the building and make the additions blend seamlessly.

To make matters more challenging, throughout the renovation phase, the building was fully occupied, and noise was a factor. And so we built quietly.

Our construction ideal is "invisibility"; our motto comes from the rules of respectful for nature taught to Boy Scouts and the like: "When we leave, you don't know we were ever there."

As you can see from these photos, the work and final results were a total success.
