A Note From Our Lead Designer…
Renovations by Hearth + Home is expert at helping create forever homes. This client’s curbless ensuite shower is a perfect example. By eliminating the shower curb, floor tile flows seamlessly from outside to inside the shower without having to step up and over a curb. For even greater accessibility, our clients also incorporated two corner glass doors. Details like these – and our ability to provide them – will allow our clients to enjoy their home forever. Dana George
A Note From Our Construction Manager
Our goal for the outdoor living space was to create a natural extension of the interior’s farmhouse character and charm. I think we accomplished the goal with rustic-look composite decking, simple white metal columns and red metal roof. This traditional wraparound porch gives the homeowners an exceptional view of their property and beyond. Damian Fauth
A Note From Our CEO
One of our greatest rewards is helping clients realize the hard-to-see potential of their spaces. Then, we thrive on creating that “aha” moment when the vision becomes reality. Jason Meyer
