Zooming in on the details. The tiles might be wavy, but the cuts are crisp.

Fun fact: we had to hire out a crane to get this vanity (and all the drywall) up to the third floor. Old houses are great, but those narrow stairs are no joke.

That said, this is a great example of why you should hire a GC to handle all the moving parts of a renovation vs. hiring your own plumber, electrician, carpenter, etc. separately. If you don't have someone dedicated to managing a project from start to finish, it's far too easy for hired hands to start pointing fingers when challenges pop up.

(Not-so-hot take: baby blue tile and fluted walnut are an incredible color combo 👀)

Projects like this always make me happy. Here's why:
1) The homeowners really care about their home and respect its life story--built in 1844, surviving a fire, shouldering several "creative" additions and renovations, and ultimately embracing a new kitchen we installed

2) Some elements of the home were restored to their original beauty while some historic choices were passed over in favor of a more modern layout and a larger kitchen. Historic value has its place--high ceilings, big windows with beefy trim, exposed brick. But so does the functionality of semi-open living spaces, long islands, and an easily accessible laundry.

3) The finishes aren't necessarily "timeless" (I'm not totally sure how to define them at term, honestly), but they do fit with the character of the whole home. They act like well-chosen jewelry that complements an outfit without overpowering the main subject. We see that with the brass fixtures and especially with the salvaged mantels

4) The homeowners explicitly stated the importance of paying for quality where it counts and supporting small, local craftsmen. During the design phase I presented a few different options from cabinets, ranging from 15-35k. The budget was important, but more importantly, they wanted something built well by folks who live down the street (shoutout: )

5) The homeowners (and their two young kids) truly live in the space. You'll have to trust me a bit on this one since they made sure to do some thorough tidying up before I came over for photos, but still, it's not just a show piece for them. Nor do they bubble wrap everything and insist it's kept looking like a museum. (Maybe the mountain of boardgames and library books that snuck into the third photo can help prove my point).

This home has seen 180 years of folks figuring life out and building families together. What better way to respect a home (and receive value back from it) than to respect its roots, restore and strengthen its bones, and grow yet another loving family within its walls.

From stained carpet and unconditioned storage space to a fully functional primary suite: we designed and built this project across an entire third floor in Aspinwall.

We brought in more natural light by adding/resizing windows and relocating a slapped together closet nook into a legitimate walk-in closet. With the addition of a full mini-split HVAC system and new plumbing stack, the homeowners gained incredible value by creating a whole new living space.

For finishes, we matched the bedroom flooring to existing flooring on the first and second floors for a nice cohesive feel. And then we had a little fun with the bathroom by bringing in baby blues, dark walnut, and large format tiles. Really an incredible transformation from the team!

We've got a nice chunk of new photos on the way! I hate to admit it but I've been slacking pretty hard with IG this spring. And I have a whole backlog of cool projects to share.

This one is a quick teaser of a third floor master suite conversion we fully designed and built in Aspinwall. It was a challenging space, but we made it happen! Stay tuned for more--

Maybe you've heard the news? One of our former employees, Zach Thibault has decided to head out on a new endeavor, focusing on bespoke design and historical integrity.

Zach was the brains behind our brief stint testing out the world of design / build contracting. While it ultimately isn't a path I want to take Frampton Remodeling--especially without Zach on the team--that season gave Zach a taste of applying his design skills in the practical world for real clients with real budgets and real challenges to overcome. He shouldered the load of pre-construction, design, project management, and even filled in with carpentry, tile, and installations. His knowledge is deep and his toolkit is wide.

If you have a historic or particularly detailed project and want to work alongside someone who has first hand experience not only designing but actually physically renovating old Pittsburgh houses, Zach's your guy. Check out his new account for more info!

New master bath renovation in Moon Township! We worked with interior designer Greg Piccini to expand and modernize what was starting to feel rather dated (and starting to leak/fall apart!).

With this one we were able to:
- combine the existing bathroom with an adjacent closet to nearly double the footprint
- add a second sink (and separate vanity space)
- double the size of the shower and add a linear drain to reduce grout lines
- add a heated floor using 48" x 48" tiles for a grand total of 5 grout lines through the entire room/shower
- add a suntube through the roof
- add ample storage with multiple medicine cabinets and a full-height pantry cabinet

This frigid cold has me feeling a bit of cabin fever. Even something as small as trimming a door to length is soooo much easier when you have some elbow room outdoors. The closest thing we have to a cut station at the moment is some poor soul's Prius engulfed by a snow drift on 38th street. I'm looking forward to some sun (and better parking).

Once the weather breaks, we'll be doing a mudroom addition in Shadyside and a third floor addition in Lawrenceville. Just gotta wait for the weather to cooperate and plans to be finalized!

Did you know you can put under cabinet lighting INSIDE your backsplash??

(To be fair we're maybe bending the rules on what is considered backsplash here, given that it's actually a stone ledge on top of a stone splash. But itt counts, right?)

To achieve this look, we designed the kitchen with the countertops continuing up the walls, rather than installing a typical tile splash. After a few iterations of dialing in the cabinets, we landed on adding about a 4" ledge to the top of the splash, giving a nice little spot for storage/display, while also opening up the possibility of this fun detail.

Our friends over at Primo Marble And Granite did a great job of routing out a channel inside the small shelf that allowed our electricians to then tuck away their low voltage lighting.

The end result is consistent lighting across an otherwise eclectic and layered space.

There's something very special about projects where an entire floor is brought into scope. It gives the opportunity to create a cohesive feel across every room while adding little moments and themes to catch your eye along the way.

The white oak floors carry throughout each room, stepping down to a herringbone sunken living room. Arched niches and zellige tile pop up across three rooms. A newly refinished staircase and railings replace the tired, clashing honey oak of the 90s with a sleek white and black palette.

Holistic and cohesive. Work like this takes tons of planning and coordination, but when it all comes together, the finished product is just a pleasure to spend time around.
