Same home. A completely different way to enjoy the outdoors.

This project started with an aging deck that had seen better days. But instead of simply rebuilding what was there, we created something far more functional.

The new screened porch adds shade, protection from the elements, and a comfortable outdoor living space that feels like a natural extension of the home.

Sometimes a renovation isn’t about adding more.

It’s about making better use of the space you already have. 🏡

Another layer of progress. 👏

The siding is up, and the exterior is really starting to take shape.

At this stage, the structure begins to feel less like a jobsite and more like the finished design we’ve been working toward. Windows are in, siding is complete, and the exterior details are coming together one step at a time.

There’s still plenty happening behind the scenes, but this is a milestone you can definitely see.

On to the next phase. 🔨

Most people never think twice about what's underneath the siding.

But that's exactly where one of the hardest-working parts of the home lives.

House wrap helps protect the structure from moisture while allowing the walls to breathe properly. It's one of those details you'll never see once construction is complete, but it plays a big role in how well a home performs for years to come.

🏠 Helps protect against moisture intrusion.
💨 Allows water v***r to escape.
🛠️ Supports the long-term durability of the structure.

It's another reminder that quality isn't just about the finishes you can see.

It's also about the details you never will.

One of the most exciting parts of any project is when you can finally see the vision coming together.

At McKennie, this detached accessory dwelling unit (DADU) is starting to look less like a construction site and more like the space it was designed to become.

🏡 A private place for family or guests.

💼 A flexible space that can adapt as life changes.

📈 An investment that adds both functionality and long-term value to the property.

Every stage of construction brings us one step closer to delivering a space that's built with purpose and designed to last.

We're excited to keep sharing the progress as this project continues to come together.

Before the paint. Before the flooring. Before the finishes.

The parts of a renovation that get the most attention usually happen at the very end.

But it's everything you don't see that determines how well your home performs for years to come.

🛠️ Proper framing creates the structure every finish relies on.

📐 Careful planning ensures walls, openings, and layouts come together exactly as intended.

🏡 Taking the time to get these details right now helps prevent problems later.

Beautiful finishes are important, but they're only as good as what's behind them.

At Elemental Design + Build, we believe quality isn't just what you see when a project is finished. It's built into every stage along the way.

How do you know a renovation was successful?

It's not when the paint dries.
It's not the day of the final walkthrough.

It's six months later, when the new layout feels so natural you can't remember how the house worked before.

✨ The kitchen becomes where everyone gathers.
🏡 The extra space gets used every single day.
❤️ Your home simply fits the way you live.

That's when you know it was worth it.

At Elemental Design + Build, that's the goal behind every renovation. Not just creating a beautiful space, but creating a home that works better for the people who live there.

If you're thinking about renovating, we'd love to help you create a home that feels just right.

The finished kitchen gets all the attention.

What most people don't see is the planning, decision-making, and hundreds of details that happen long before the cabinets go in.

If you're thinking about remodeling, here's what we've learned after helping homeowners through projects like this:

🏡 Start with the way you want to live, not just the finishes you want to choose.

👉 Invest where it matters most. The features you use every day are the ones you'll appreciate for years to come.

🤝 Choose a team you trust. A renovation is a big investment, and having experienced people guiding the process makes all the difference.

📐 Expect the plan to evolve. Great projects come together through collaboration, thoughtful problem-solving, and attention to detail.

A successful renovation isn't just about creating a beautiful space. It's about creating a home that feels like it was designed for the way you live.

If you've been thinking about updating your home, we'd love to help you explore what's possible.

Why would anyone choose to go through a renovation like this?

At first glance, it's easy to see the disruption.

Construction materials. Exposed framing. Dirt, dust, and a home that looks nothing like the finished vision.

But homeowners don't start a project like this because they want construction.

They do it because their home no longer works for the way they live.

Maybe the layout feels cramped. Maybe the kitchen no longer functions for a busy family. Maybe they've outgrown the space but can't imagine leaving the neighborhood they love.

A thoughtful renovation is about more than adding square footage or updating finishes. It's about creating a home that supports your life today and for years to come.

The construction is temporary.

The way you'll live in your home afterward isn't.

If you're wondering whether it's time to renovate, we'd be happy to help you explore what's possible.

Make your house feel like home again.

Sometimes a house just doesn't feel like your home anymore.

Maybe the layout no longer fits your lifestyle. Maybe the finishes feel dated. Or maybe you're simply ready for a change that makes your space feel fresh, functional, and welcoming again.

That's where we come in.

From thoughtful design to quality craftsmanship, we help transform houses into homes that reflect the way you live today.

When you're ready to love your home again, we're ready to help.
