"I am more than thrilled with the kitchen update which Roxy designed for me. I was hesitant to invest the money in my home since we've been here for 38 years and wondered if it made sense to update it. Needless to say, I only wish we would have done it years ago. It's beautiful and much more efficient. The installation crew was professional, knowledgeable and great to work with. I highly recommend Roxy and her team. You won't be sorry."

"Kluy Custom Kitchen Remodel
Problem: Kitchen was small outdated and poorly lit.  It also did not have 200 amp service.
The house is @ 40 years old in a neighbourhood we enjoy and on a lot we really liked. We wanted to open up the kitchen to get more space/storage and upgrade the appliances including bringing in 200 amp service.  We entertain frequently and wanted a guest friendly kitchen. We wanted others to be able to join in the dinner prep fun or
just share a glass of wine and conversation.  
Special considerations: 
We?ve known Dennis, Linda and their son Craig Kluy for years and watched
them go through remodels of their own home and other people?s homes.  It was a concern because we didn?t want the
friendship adversely impacted by this project. 
We?ve seen enough of their work to know they did great things but we?ve
never been a client.  The friendship was
more important than the job and we didn?t want to risk harming it.  However we trusted their honesty, experience
creativity and judgement.  We discussed
our concerns up front with them and decided to do this project with them and we
are so thankful we did! What a fabulous outcome!
Linda first made me measure the existing storage space I had,
including spices so I would know how much I space I had and make sure I
expanded what was really important.  This
was a really good idea.  We discussed my
ideas and they looked at the area and drawings I had done and Dennis provided
the scale floor plan options.   I have
trouble visualizing things so I measured things and taped the measurements on
the floor so I could get a better idea. 
That really helped get a better idea of spaces and work patterns before design
was completed.  
Craig is the creative force that pulled it together and made it sparkle.  His creativity provided many
very classy finishing touches that solved problems. We removed two walls and
opened the area up.  The natural light from existing windows flooded the area and made a wonderfully open space to
work in.  We had tile on the floor originally and replaced it with heated tiles that went beautifully with the
rest of the kitchen.  We loved the heated floor this last winter!  We had enough space to put in a 12 foot island with an induction cook top and a glass island vent.  We also used granite on the counter tops and island.  It?s quite striking!   I have a wonderful pantry area and plenty of storage.  As I said I have trouble visualizing and they helped me preview ideas so
I had a comfort level with the design. Thanks to them I have many many nice features that I would not have
thought of that are practical for the way I cook.  It?s a great working kitchen space!  No space was wasted! One thing I love is the
wonderful work light I now have.  The kitchen is fabulous!  Works great and did I mention that Craig has an excellent eye for color?  He can see a color and visualize the other colors that it works well with it.  It?s a pretty amazing talent!  The wall paint,
granite, and the color of the wood cabinets all go together in a craftsman style and the colors are beautiful!
The actual construction started on Memorial Day weekend 2012 and was finished so we could move in in late September2012.  October saw finishing touches and some adjustments.
I can?t say enough about how well we all worked together and the idea exchange.  Linda has a flair for design and practical application which I was able to appreciate as a Kluy Custom client.  (She is a really fine cook in
her home and we?ve enjoyed invitations to her table with pleasure.   Not only do I have a beautiful kitchen but 2
years later I love it even more!   It?s a great Holiday family gathering place and everyone has a good time.  It works
great every day and for large groups and holidays!  And we didn?t have to build/buy a new house to get it!

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

Yes, barndominiums can have basements. Barndominiums are typically built over concrete slabs, so barndo basements are not very common. However, it is possible to include a basement in a barndominium blueprint as long as you’re building completely from scratch. Barndos can have the same types of basements as traditional homes, including full or walk-out basements.

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.

The most challenging part of finishing a basement is addressing moisture control. Basement waterproofing is an essential task that requires a professional’s skills and knowledge. If you don’t properly waterproof your finished basement, it’ll be vulnerable to dampness, water damage, and mold growth. Ensuring proper insulation and ventilation to combat these issues while meeting building codes adds complexity to your remodeling project.

When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. 

Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.
