Choosing a great backsplash can make the difference in a kitchen or bathroom. Wood Wise works with Byrd Tile as our supplier of all kinds of beautiful tile, from the ever-popular subway tile to glass, porcelain, stone, and more. Raul of Geovany Tile is the craftsman who installs our tile with precision and artistry. Kathy, our designer, guides homeowners in their choices of backsplash tile to beautifully coordinate with countertops and cabinets. She also comes up with unique ways to make great design statements with interesting patterns of laying the tile. The results always exceed the homeowners’ expectations for a beautifully remodeled home.

They worked closely with designer Kathy Walker to come up with the great layout which includes two large islands. Project manager Ben Toney choreographed the remodeling with his expert skill and discriminating eye for first-class workmanship. The result is a gorgeous kitchen, ready for great times with family and friends.

Making the remodeling experience pleasant for the homeowner is tops on the Wood Wise list of priorities.

Our clients tell us often how much this means to them. Here is an excerpt from a homeowner’s email we received yesterday on a current remodeling project:

 “All the guys are very professional, respectful of our privacy, and polite. So nice!”

That’s the way remodeling should be. Give us a call and let us show you just how good remodeling your home     can be.

Good lighting is one of the most important elements we consider when designing a project for a homeowner. Along with including plenty of recessed lighting, we provide room for decorative lights that can add good style. Here are some examples of beautiful decorative lights in some recent Wood Wise projects. Each light is a reflection of the homeowner’s personality and sense of style. What does your present lighting say about you? What do you want the lighting to say about you in your dream kitchen and bath?

The kitchen sink is a star player in this kitchen remodel. The homeowners chose the Kohler Stages to meet both their cooking needs and make a great design impact. This under mount single bowl sink is a whopping 45” wide and comes with a stepped side platform for drying dishes. An array of accessories come with it, including food prep bowls, trays, and cutting boards, all of which fit the opening. It makes use of a usually wasted counter area and keeps food juices confined to the sink. The engineered sound-absorption system significantly reduces disposal and dishwashing noise. What kind of sink do you want in your new kitchen?
