This full-home renovation started out with the concrete request for a larger kitchen. That request quickly evolved to also adding a two-car garage, mud room, ground-level laundry facilities, relocating the powder room away from the kitchen and creating a large master closet. Other (less concrete) requests were added as well: relocate and provide some definition and personality to the front entrance, make the first floor “flow better” and fix any structural defects discovered along the way. Fortunately, the team at Penn Contractors was up for this challenge, with the help of their favorite architect. Though logistically complicated—and a long time in the making—the team says that the overall lifestyle improvement for the owners and the visual appeal of the home justify the efforts.
