#projects
Nothing gets us more excited than seeing a space transform from something bland or outdated into something fabulous! Follow along with our total house renovations and tiny DIY projects to learn how to improve your #houseyhouse on any budget. Need help? Reach out for a consult.
We’re happy to come check out your space and help you decide what can make it better for your enjoyment or to help you get it sold when the time comes
If you or someone you know have a house that needs some work that you’d rather not do, please give us a call. We’d love to chat about how we can help you out. If we can’t buy it from you as-is, we probably know someone who can OR we can help you make arrangements for repairs/maintenance so you can sell it.
Check back often, we are always working on something!
