Before & After: Case Study of a Whole‑Home Remodel
Introduction
Seeing a transformation come to life is one of the most inspiring aspects of remodeling. In this case study, we take you through a recent whole‑home remodel completed by Metro Custom Builders in Georgetown. From dated layouts and cramped rooms to an open, modern sanctuary, discover how thoughtful design and skilled craftsmanship can turn a house into a dream home.
The Challenge
The homeowners loved their neighborhood but outgrew their mid‑century ranch. The kitchen was closed off from the living space, the bathrooms were outdated and there was no cohesive flow between rooms. Storage was limited and the primary suite lacked privacy and luxury.
The Vision
The clients wanted a bright, open floor plan with a large kitchen for entertaining, a serene primary suite, and updated bathrooms. They envisioned modern finishes that would complement the home’s original character. Sustainability was also a priority; they sought energy‑efficient systems and eco‑friendly materials.
The Transformation
Reimagined Layout: We removed non‑load‑bearing walls to create an open concept kitchen, dining and living area. A large island anchors the space, providing seating, storage and workspace.
Gourmet Kitchen: Custom cabinetry, quartz countertops and professional appliances elevate the cooking experience. A walk‑in pantry offers ample storage.
Primary Suite Retreat: We expanded the primary bedroom and added a spa‑like bathroom featuring a freestanding tub, walk‑in shower and dual vanities. A walk‑in closet completes the suite.
Modernized Bathrooms: Guest bathrooms received new tile, fixtures and vanities. Cohesive design elements tie the spaces together.
Energy Efficiency: We upgraded insulation, installed low‑e windows and incorporated LED lighting. New HVAC equipment and smart thermostats reduce energy usage.
The Result
The completed remodel exceeded the clients’ expectations. Natural light floods the open living space, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The new kitchen serves as the home’s centerpiece, perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. The primary suite provides a private retreat, while updated bathrooms add comfort for guests and family members. Sustainable upgrades reduce utility bills and contribute to a healthier home.
