See What You Get With a Living Room Remodel

Design Consultation

Layout and palette designed with you. A designer balances the room's light, flow, and furniture plan. Selections locked before the first cut.

Materials

Premium materials, supplied by us. Spec'd by name in the written scope, no mystery product. Labor and materials together, always.

Paint & Finish

Full room repaint, walls, ceiling, and trim. Sheen spec'd per surface, colors pulled from your whole-home palette. The coat that makes the new work read finished.

Flooring

Hardwood, LVP, or carpet, installed and finished. Substrate prepped so floors run flat and quiet. Transitions and thresholds resolved room to room.

Fireplace Surrounds

Mantels and surrounds, refinished or rebuilt. Tile, stone, or millwork brought up to the design plan. The room's focal point, finished like it deserves.

Built-ins

Shelving and media built-ins, designed and installed. Scribed to your walls so they read original to the house. Wired openings planned for what actually plugs in.

Millwork & Trim

Crown, wainscoting, casings, and custom trim. Mitered tight, caulked clean, and finished in enamel. Profiles chosen to match your home's era and character.

Feature Walls

Millwork, paneling, and accent wall builds. Board-and-batten, slat walls, or fluted panels, built true to layout. The wall the whole room organizes itself around.

Living Room Remodel Frequently Asked Questions

What homeowners ask before a living room project, including cost, custom built-ins, and matching new millwork to the trim you already have.

Can you match the new millwork to my existing trim?

Yes, and it matters more than people expect. New carpentry that doesn't match existing profiles is the fastest way to make a remodel look bolted on. We match profiles, proportions and finish to what's already in the home, or replace throughout for consistency if the existing trim is the thing you want gone.

Do you do fireplace surrounds and feature walls?

Yes. Fireplace surrounds, feature walls, panelling, and accent millwork are among the most requested living room changes, because they reset the focal point of the room without touching the layout. We'll work through material and finish options with you and your designer before anything is ordered.

Can you build custom shelving and built-ins?

Yes, built-ins are one of the highest-impact things you can do to a living room, and they're built and finished on site to fit your walls, ceiling height and proportions. Off-the-shelf furniture never quite fits. Your designer helps resolve the proportions and finish so it reads as part of the house, not an addition.

What's included in a living room remodel?

Custom millwork, built-in shelving and cabinetry, feature and accent walls, wainscoting and panelling, fireplace surrounds, flooring, lighting, trim and finish work, with your interior designer included. We're a finishes and remodels company: we transform the room you have rather than adding structure or moving load-bearing walls.

How long does a living room remodel take?

Typically one to a few weeks depending on how much custom carpentry is involved. Built-ins and millwork are built and finished to fit, which takes longer than paint and flooring alone but is what makes the room feel original to the house. You'll have a firm window before we start.

How much does a living room remodel cost?

Living room projects vary widely, from $5,000 to $10,000 for millwork and finishes, up to $25,000+ for custom built-ins, a feature wall, flooring and full finish work. Custom carpentry is the main variable. We quote from a written scope after seeing the room, with labor and materials included and 0% financing available.
