This South Whitehall kitchen refresh started when our client expressed a desire to replace her dated and worn Formica countertops. The existing tops, sink, fixture, disposal, dishwasher panel and wall treatment were removed to make way for the new changes. The cabinets were leveled, new plumbing installed and the walls prepped for new tile. New honed (matte finish) absolute black granite tops purchased directly from SCC's manufacturer were installed along with a stainless steel Moen sink and an aged pewter Moen Vestige fixture.

Italian Graal Glastone tile backsplash wall treatment was personally laid out installed, grouted and sealed by Les Sheaffer. Following completion of the tile a new painted dishwasher end panel was installed to match the cabinets and trim painting was completed. The new refreshed kitchen has a rich country feel to it with a hint of a clean contemporary look and is a great improvement to the home both in esthetics and value.

Lehigh County Master Bath Renovation: The project consisted of the complete demolition and removal of the existing master bathroom and walk in closet. These changes effectively doubled the size of the available space allowing greater flexibility in the layout and design of the new space. The walls were built out to allow plumbing and electrical changes and additional insulation. The old soffits and walled shower enclosure were replaced with a spacious vanity featuring twin Kohler sinks and built in medicine cabinets with tile backsplash and black granite top.

The old, confining shower enclosure was replaced with a new custom designed tile shower featuring Capri Beige 8"x10" tiles and Moen Kingsley antique nickel fixtures. Deco accent tiles and built in tile soap and shampoo nooks and a seat with a black granite top add a custom touch. The shower is enclosed with ¼" clear glass walls and door framed in elegant brushed nickel with matching hardware.

The floor of the shower is finished in 1"x2" Torreon Brick stone tile and the main floor area features 12'X12" Galil Gold natural stone. The list of improvements also includes the addition of a new linen closet, recessed lighting, new window and doors as well as colonial base trim, casing and matching brushed nickel hardware.

The design and all the professional services including the tile noted above was performed personally by Les Sheaffer, with plumbing and electrical services were carried out by SCC's long standing subcontractors.
