Hensley remodel


In this Knoxville Condominium, we striped out carpet throughout the home. All light fixtures and ceiling fans come out too. While we replaced fixtures, fans, and installed tile, the painters were busy trying to be ahead of the flooring installation. We also replaced all door hinges and hardware. The majority of the work was finished before to keep the foot traffic lower on the new engineered hardwood floors.




The front entry wall is on a 30 degree angle which we ran the flooring though the house. this added visual interest and made the rooms seem larger. The previously laid tile on the bath floors was also set to this angle.








This type of engineered flooring can be installed by nails, glue down, or floated with the glue in the tongue and groove joint. We choose the later due to some major slab irregularities we found. An expansion gap is left at the perimeter.

Bath vanities were repainted. Then we replaced vinyl with ceramic tile floors in the two baths, while the painters continued painting the rest of the house including the ceilings. We tiled in a shower in the master bath and installed new sinks, fixtures and toilets in both baths.




The kitchen cabinets were painted with a distressed look and new counter tops were installed. New sink, faucet and light fixtures completed the prep for new appliances.



This project is still in progress so this will continue soon.
