Kitchen & Bathroom Remodel in Albany, NY
This young Albany couple inherited their grandfathers house, with all of its unchanged 1960’s charm. In
other words, everything had to be updated! The first step was the kitchen, which had Formica on every
surface. Working with project manager Anthony and designer Justina they came up with this great new
look. The vinyl tile flooring is now rustic wood. Bennett carpenters created custom shelves and ceiling
beams to match the new flooring. This project included relocating the laundry from the basement to
the first floor. It’s in the foyer behind the barn door in the kitchen.
At the rear of the home was a large family room, but it had a low ceiling and few windows making it dark
an uninviting. Bennett removed the roof and built a new higher cathedral ceiling with large windows
that look out onto the pool and woods. Now the room, which is just off the kitchen is light and open.
Today it’s a great room for entertaining and someday it could be a perfect playroom for kids. Bennett
installed craftsman trim (wide baseboards, casings and crown molding) throughout the project.
Once they had Bennett in their house and they could see the quality of the work, it made sense to just
keep going. The next project was to remodel both bathrooms. The master bath was enlarged to
accommodate a bigger shower by taking space from a hall closet. All new plumbing and electric,
fixtures, vanities, lighting, fans, and tile were included in the work.
