Cosmetic improvements for existing fireplaces are popular with our homeowners. As part of a larger project, Wood Wise provides design and selection guidance to transform tired fireplaces into design statements. Here are two examples, different styles, which show what thoughtful upgrades can do to a space.
When remodeling, half bathrooms or “powder rooms” provide a great place for homeowners to be more daring on selections. Our clients use these smaller rooms to showcase special tile, unusual sinks or faucets, or bolder paint colors. Here are a few Wood Wise remodeled half bathrooms that make great design statements:
On our free first visit, we provide homeowners a sampling of surveys conducted by Guild Quality, a third-party company in Atlanta. When a remodeling project is completed, Guild Quality contacts the homeowners asking certain questions to find out their experience working with Wood Wise. These surveys gauge the level of satisfaction and provide a place for homeowners to comment on the Wood Wise process and offer suggestions. Our team loves to make “good grades” since we work hard to have a successful project for each of our clients. We also appreciate the suggestions and take them to heart for continual improvement.
Here is our latest survey dated July 23, 2020. Click here to see the survey in PDF format.
This Raleigh master bathroom received a dramatic new layout that includes this floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinet. It is conveniently placed near the shower for ready access to towels, toiletries, and clothes. With roll-out shelves, these pantries provide lots of easy to reach storage and take up less space than a traditional linen closet. Wood Wise is a dealer for KraftMaid and Waypoint cabinets. Both lines offer plenty of options to fit any storage need or space requirement.
Sometimes it is years before homeowners get to enjoy their dream kitchen. That was the case for these homeowners. After a long time of making do with what the previous owners had put together, this couple was ready to get started on improving their home. They chose Wood Wise to reimagine and remodel their kitchen. By borrowing space from an adjoining room, the kitchen went from small to spacious. New cabinets with increased storage, improved lighting, and a redesigned traffic flow make this kitchen the homeowners’ dream come true.
On our free first visit to your home, we look at the space, listen to your remodeling goals, and bring information about our design-build process. Included in our folder are 6 pages of Wood Wise client references with contact information and descriptions of the projects. Each homeowner welcomes a call and we encourage you to contact these homeowners to ask about their experience with Wood Wise remodeling their homes.
Before adding someone to the list, we request their permission. Here are some of the homeowners’ replies to those requests:
“I am enjoying the newly renovated space. I would be happy to be added to your list of references.”
“Judith and I would be happy to be a reference for Wood Wise. Both renovation projects we worked with Wood Wise on turned out very well.”
“We are very happy with everything. You can definitely add us to the reference list. We’d be happy to tell people about what a great company you are.”
“Of course you can use us as a reference….we are so very pleased with how everything turned out.”
While Wood Wise president and founder Hank Wall has created a leading company in the Raleigh remodeling industry, he has also enjoyed a full life that includes giving back to the community. He is active in his church and in his neighborhood HOA, serving as president of the boards of each in recent years. Under his leadership, the neighborhood HOA took on the massive project of restoring and improving their Lake Anne. Hank spent hours working with the proper agencies and trades to complete the major renovations, tackling whatever obstacles came along with his enthusiasm, energy, and know-how. The lake is now structurally sound, clean, and beautiful for all the residents of the subdivision to enjoy. In appreciation of his contributions of so much time and energy, the neighborhood residents have placed this plaque on the bridge wall.
A beautiful wood ceiling was original to this contemporary Raleigh home when Wood Wise was called in to do a whole house renovation. The homeowners asked that the ceiling be preserved with no alterations. But that brought a challenge: how do you create more light without putting holes in the ceiling? The winning answer was to create a soffit to hold both up and down lights. Special wire cables hold it firmly in place and add to the contemporary look. Now the large open space has great lighting on cloudy days and at night. The ceiling was preserved and the goal of more light was met.
