Introduction
Renovation and refurbishment of family home in Harpenden. Featuring new Kitchen, Utility and En-Suite. Bi-folding doors and high quality finish throughout.
In 2020, we were entrusted with a contract to undertake the partial refurbishment of a family home in Harpenden, necessitated by water damage resulting from burst water and drainage issues.
Aligning with our client's aesthetic vision for a modern open-plan layout, we knocked-out some internal walls and introduced bi-folding doors. The renovation also featured a captivating two-tone shaker kitchen with integrated appliances and quartz counter-tops, alongside the creation of a utility room with partition walls and a bespoke media wall in the living Room.
The home's transformation included new carpets, Herringbone style flooring, and extensive redecoration, complemented by the addition of underfloor heating, updated electrical systems, a new RCD consumer unit, exterior lighting, internal doors, en-suite bathroom re-tile, and custom wardrobe units.
