Wood Wise was trusted with the major renovation of the homeowners’ master bath several years ago. The experience was so good that when it was time to tackle their kitchen renovation, they asked WW to put their design and building skills to work again. The end result of the partnership of WW and the homeowners is a stunning kitchen, made for family and entertaining. Read the Houzz review this client gave of their great experience working with Wood Wise:

“During the summer of 2014, we renovated our kitchen using Wood Wise Design & Remodeling for the design and the construction. The entire staff is simply wonderful to work with, taking our preferences into consideration right from the start to addressing any and all concerns that we had along the process. We basically gutted the kitchen and redesigned the layout into a much more usable and updated space. Wood Wise’s staff brought both considerable experience and knowledge to the project and guided us with great recommendations during the selection phase with details seemingly unimportant but actually critical such as sink placement and fixture sizes. The staff also skillfully handled implementation issues that arose such as how to handle the exhaust vent since we have a cathedral ceiling that prevented a direct path to an outside wall. This was not the first remodel project that we worked with Wood Wise on; we chose them again for this large project simply because they were great to work with, professional at every step, kept within budget and time frame, and did an awesome job. I love love love my kitchen!!”

These North Raleigh homeowners knew exactly what they wanted: a new and stylish master bathroom with old world flavor. They called Wood Wise to design and build the large room, incorporating a generous walk-in shower, separate commode room, large double-sink vanity, and lots of storage. The KraftMaid cabinets have fine furniture detailing and are topped with granite. The tile mosaic with the fleur de lis continues the master suite European theme.

These Cary homeowners thought their kitchen remodeling options were limited. Then they contacted Wood Wise whose designers saw the space in a whole new way. By moving the kitchen-to-garage door and relocating the half bath, the kitchen space was opened up for lots of possibilities. Working closely with WW designer Kathy Walker, the homeowners chose the large curved island, redesigned perimeter cabinets, and lots of additional lighting. She helped them with the beautiful selections that include KraftMaid cabinets, granite countertops, and porcelain backsplash. The results of this carefully thought-out design and construction is this striking new kitchen.

A well-placed and well-designed half bath can make a big impression on your guests. With a half bath that was poorly-placed and basic in design, these Cary homeowners wanted to update the powder room as part of a larger kitchen renovation. Wood Wise designer Kathy Walker gave several options for them to consider. They chose the design option that moved the existing kitchen-to-garage door to provide room for the new powder room. This gave the half bath an improved position with more privacy away from the living area while giving more space to the kitchen. The burnished bronze hardware, KraftMaid cabinet, granite countertop, and artisan bowl sink give this powder room great design appeal.

As part of a larger renovation, these homeowners wanted their master bathroom updated. They had gathered ideas and came to Wood Wise for the design and construction. Removing the garden tub gives room for a large shower with a long bench. The vaulted ceiling with skylight floods the area with natural light. The tile wall makes a great backdrop for the new KraftMaid vanity and offers sleek European styling. Wall mounted faucets over the square sinks continues the great look.

The homeowners of this inside-the-beltline house were in need of a new look and more space. They turned to Wood Wise to design and build an addition along with some much needed sprucing up of the exterior. The new side porch-turned-sunroom features a window seat just right for enjoying the morning sun and has become the most used room in the home. The exterior of the home has been given a facelift by increasing the size of the dormers, adding new siding, and redesigning the window surrounds to accomodate longer shutters. Updating the front entrance with a new porch design and curved stone walk gives the homeowners what they were looking for: a fresh and appealing new look.

This Raleigh homeowner had been planning her dream kitchen for years. With a folder full of favorite styles and selections, she called Wood Wise for help to design and fulfill that vision. Designer Kathy Walker worked with the homeowner to make her dream kitchen even “dreamier,” by adding 2 extra-large islands, coming up with a fabulous cabinet layout, and guiding her to some selections that helped make the results over-the-top beautiful.

This Raleigh couple had a beautiful back yard but no good way to enjoy it. Their old deck was tired looking and not very appealing besides being too hot in warm weather. They turned to Wood Wise to design an outdoor living area that has it all: a screen porch, an open deck, and a covered porch. Now they can relax on this beautifully integrated area whatever the weather. Enjoying a cup of coffee in the rockers on the covered porch is a perfect way to start the day.
