Susan hired us to remodel her childhood home. She grew up in this house, spent her adult life in Houston, and moved back a few years ago to take care of her sweet mother. After her mom’s passing last year, Susan decided to plant roots back in Bryan, in this home that holds so many memories for her!
There is so much to say about this project: we opened up the kitchen to the living room, added a dream butler’s pantry, moved the laundry out of the garage, expanded the shower, not to mention replaced ALL (and I mean ALL) of the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC work. We added insulation and all new windows, too!
Susan loves cooking, baking, and crafting. We completely rearranged her kitchen & den area into a large kitchen with adjacent butler’s pantry / utility room. Tons of drawers, specialty pull-outs, undercabinet lighting, an appliance lift, and a solid surface backsplash make this space truly tailored to her needs. We removed some interior closets to create a true dining area, and added architectural detail with a custom fireplace surround and transom windows.
But the best part of this project was working with Susan, and creating her dream home, in such a personal place to her. Thank you, Susan, for trusting us with such an important project!
The key is having a contractor that is an honest communicator and makes things right. You can trust Buck the Builder to do that. The quality of work was impeccable, and I now have the home of my dreams!
Before I chose Buck the Builder as the general contractor for my whole home remodel, I knew the owners, Buck and Renee, personally, so I knew what wonderful people they were. It wasn’t until I learned of their detailed planning process and dedication to quality that I KNEW they were the ones to whom I could entrust my major project. A project’s success (especially one as large as mine) depends on extensive planning upfront so that there are very few delays, surprises, and unexpected costs later. My 66-year old house was a gut job. It needed all new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, and windows. Because of the time spent on detailing the scope of work (including renderings so that I could actually see what it would look like) and making design choices before work began, the remodel of the house came in on time and extremely close to the original budget. Construction is never perfect – mistakes are made and unexpected issues show up once walls are opened. The key is having a contractor that is an honest communicator and makes things right. You can trust Buck the Builder to do that. The quality of work was impeccable, and I now have the home of my dreams! I highly recommend Buck the Builder for any remodel project. They are the BEST! -Susan G.
