Past Tense Project

Progress photos: In this project, I closed in a missing floor section where a spiral staircase used to be between the 2nd and 3rd levels. We added drywall to finish the 2nd-floor ceiling and installed new wood flooring above on the 3rd floor. The client requested a custom floor grate to keep airflow moving between the levels, blending function with a clean finish.

Here’s a recent bathroom restoration project I completed. The trim around the shower had sustained water damage due to the original builder using MDF trim—an unsuitable choice for high-moisture areas. Over time, the MDF absorbed water, leading to swelling, rot, and mildew. If left unaddressed, these issues can escalate and compromise surrounding materials. I removed the damaged trim and replaced it with PVC trim, a far more durable and appropriate solution. PVC is water-resistant, mold and mildew resistant, low maintenance, and built to last—making it ideal for bathroom environments.
