A substantial renovation should feel coherent rather than added on. Salt & Sand works with clients and designers to improve planning, light, flow, services and finishes while respecting the qualities that made the original home worth keeping.
Renovations carry unknowns that new homes do not. Careful investigation, realistic allowances and early consultant coordination help reveal structural, waterproofing and service implications before work is opened up.
A whole-home point of view
The best renovations resolve how rooms connect, not just how individual finishes look. Structure, openings, cabinetry, lighting, flooring and exterior transitions are considered together so the completed home reads as one.
Clear builder accountability
Michael remains directly involved through planning and construction, giving clients one accountable point of contact as decisions move between the existing home, consultants, trades and new work.
When a major renovation makes sense
This service is suited to substantial changes across a home, especially where structure, rooms and services need to work together. Share what you want to keep, what no longer works and any existing drawings so the first discussion can focus on the right scope.
What clients can expect
Michael is the direct builder contact as the existing home is assessed and the work is planned with designers and consultants. Concealed conditions may only become clear during construction, so decisions about access, protection and sequencing are discussed as part of the process.
