working with Duane Johns of Advanced Renovations,” she says. “I appreciated his intelligence and problem-solving skills throughout construction. It was great to not losing control of the process once I had finished the design drawings.” “Advanced Renovations exhibits accountability, organization and reliability from beginning to end,” she continues. “They kept the area clean while they worked, and I always knew what was coming next.” For her part, Stanley made the design choices, including the neutral color palette, porcelain floor tiles, which impart the look of limestone and dark gray Caesarstone countertops that provide a neutral counterpoint to off-white walls, beige sofas and rattan chairs. On the exterior, a grayish-green shiplap siding continues the neutrality and coordinates with the existing house.
Unhesitatingly, Stanley agrees that if she had to do it all over again, she’d still choose Advanced Renovations. “When we expanded the main house in 2004, I chose the first available contractor, against my better judgment as a design professional,” Stanley says. “But the comfort of having a comprehensive schedule and cost for a project before construction cannot be underestimated. Advanced Renovations came highly recommended from many sources because of their accountability and professionalism.”v Advanced Renovations is known for its collaborative work with homeowners.
