Wild to Wonderful - Oklahoma City Turnkey Transformation

By Chris Clothier on Tue, Nov 23, 2021

This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Driving through this neighborhood, you might have guessed this plot was a safari rather than a single-family residence. In its original state, the let-go landscaping had essentially taken over the backyard, and the front was nearly as unrecognizable. Inside, character features were buried under mismatched paint and messy surfaces. Now, any family would be happy to call this property home!

No Need to Raise This Roof - Houston Turnkey Transformation

By Chris Clothier on Tue, Nov 16, 2021

This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from Houston, Texas.

Unassuming on the outside, this hidden gem was concealing one of the most serious vaulted ceiling we've seen! Certainly there was potential to be seen, especially if you could look past left-behind detritus and let-go landscaping.

By Chris Clothier on Tue, Nov 9, 2021

This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from Memphis, Tennessee.

This spacious, two-story home was a bit frightening in its original condition.

Inside, fire damage had ruined much of the kitchen and dining spaces, and smoke had done a number on the floors and walls. This property was in need of a major transformation!

Half Finished to Whole Caboodle - Little Rock Turnkey Transformation

By Chris Clothier on Tue, Nov 2, 2021

This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from Little Rock, Arkansas. 

This sweet 60's ranch-style house was fading into this background of its suburban neighborhood street. With a bland, gray brick exterior, paired with a dark garage door, the curb appeal was certainly lacking. Inside, it was mid-renovation, with bare framing in nearly half of the floor plan. Fortunately, our team knew just what to do!
