  • The Back Porch

    Lots of visitors, a beautiful remodeling project, and wonderful comments helped make this year’s Remodelers Home Tour one of our best. Many features of the kitchen caught the attention of our visitors such as the custom American Cherry checkerboard pattern breakfast bar, the under-mount porcelain coated cast-iron double sink, Verde Butterfly granite, KraftMaid beadboard Cabinets, and more. A real favorite was the screen porch added across the back of the house. The Velux skylight lights up the kitchen window.

  • 2013 REMODELERS HOME TOUR

    “Five Points Charmer” is our feature home in this year’s Remodelers Home Tour. With the goal of updating their 90 year old home with a new kitchen, the homeowners asked Wood Wise to help them with the thoughtful design and construction. They achieved their goal of warmth and efficiency without adding on. This is the homeowners’ comment when the project was completed : “We were thrilled with the work done on our home. Our little bungalow has been transformed, and we didn’t have to enlarge the footprint of the house.”  Please come by this weekend to see the beautiful results…

  • Heading outside

    Warmer weather calls us to head outside and experience our beautiful North Carolina springtime. What could be better than to enjoy it on this thoughtfully designed all-season porch? The natural stone floor extends from the screened-in porch to the pergola-covered grilling terrace. With a dining area, a stone fireplace with mounted TV, and comfortable seating, these homeowners are ready to gather with friends and family.

We have several kitchen vignettes set up which allow you to feel the full-extension anti-slam drawers and see the great features available such as spice and appliance storage, wastebasket storage, corner cabinet storage, and much more. Come in and let Kathy, our designer, help you…

  • Fresh Look

      These homeowners wanted an updated and open kitchen, more suited to their active lifestyle. Taking out the wall cabinets that separated the breakfast nook and kitchen instantly expanded the feel of the room. Instead of trying to tie in to the existing oak floors in the adjoining room they chose green bamboo to give a fresh look to their great kitchen. Check out the before and after photos below to see how Wood Wise helped these homeowners achieve their remodeling goals.                                    …
