Walkout basements by Michael Lee

Taking the Right Steps

There are several things to consider before you build a home or deciding to take on a major home project as this one.  Doing the proper research before hand can save you time and money.  For instance, checking the grade and slope of the land the house sits on is critical information to know.  Building code requirements are also very important to familiarize yourself with.  Meet and exceeding the minimum code requirement is always the smartest approach when making major renovations to your home.
Despite the effort needed to pull off a project like this, the payout is well worth the work.  Walkout basements create a connection between the lower levels of your home and nature.  The convenience of being able allow light and air to flood in from the outdoors creates a much more attractive and welcoming atmosphere opposed to dark and dingy basements for guests and the entire family.

Lower Levels can be a great space to unwind after a long day. In other parts of this country they don’t have basements. We do and we can certainly finish them to your liking. Cold basements are gone with zoned controlled heating and even in-floor heating. Entertainment areas now include wet bars, media rooms, guest rooms, saunas, and even swimming pools. We have certainly seen a lot as the leading building/remodeling company in the east metro. Walls in the way of your project well let’s move it. We have even moved steel columns to make a plan better. Plumbing located in a bad location; hey we cut concrete and make it right for your needs.

New Kitchen Makeovers from Michael Lee, Inc.

New Kitchen D.I.Y.

When making updates to a kitchen, one of the busiest rooms in your home, it is very important to be mindful to the growing needs of your family. For instance a larger family may need a high capacity dishwasher and if someone in the home is a baker additional storage will be needed to accommodate the room taken up by materials. Whatever the specific needs of your family are, its important to ensure that the changes your are making are beneficial in the long term.  The best aspect of a new kitchen remodel is that it is limited only by your imagination.  With kitchen styles ranging from the clean-lined, hi-tec to the nooks and cranny country living, there are resources available for every homeowner to find the inspiration you need to create the new kitchen of your dreams.

Kitchens are one of the focal rooms in the house, we have built and remodeled many kitchens since we began. Using ether factory built cabinetry, typically lower priced, to fully custom designed and built cabinetry. Counters tops have come a long way from ether plastic laminate or granite to now-days materials. Many new counters are factory made like Silestone, Cambria, and Zodiaq. Flooring is no longer linoleum and now we have wood, ceramic tile and even cork to choose from. Avocado appliances from been replaced with stainless steel. We have certified kitchen planners to help you through the process.
