Our 2025 Year in Review
We’re proud of the work we accomplished in 2025. Thank you to everyone who was part of it—our homeowners, partners, architects, designers, subcontractors, and our incredible team. We’re grateful for the trust, collaboration, and relationships built this year, and we’re excited for new projects, continued partnerships, and the year ahead. Here’s to a great 2026.
Here are some highlights from 2025 at Solid Renovation Company—our projects, behind-the-scenes moments, and the people who made it all happen.
Project Highlights from 2025
Before the Remodel
Before the remodel, the homeowners removed a partition wall between their dining room and kitchen. The home had a closed-off kitchen with a small island and dated finishes. The mudroom, laundry room, and powder bathroom had low ceilings and limited functionality due to the layout. The floors throughout the home were mismatched with uneven transitions. The exterior decks were narrow, outdated, and unsafe in some areas.
Entry
In the entry we added a new custom front door and beautiful new chandelier. During demolition, we discovered original terrazzo floors and stairs that had been covered with hardwood flooring. This was a wonderful surprise! We decided to carefully restore the terrazzo floor and stairs. This process involved extensive patching, grinding, adding new aggregate pieces, and finishing with epoxy. Not only was it fun to restore the home’s original entry floor and stairs, but the final product looks beautiful.
Powder Bathroom
While reconfiguring the laundry room and mudroom, the powder bathroom layout was reconfigured by removing an awkward built-in bench and relocating the sink to the opposite wall. Like the laundry room and mudroom, the lowered ceiling was removed and restored back to the original vaulted ceiling to open up the space.
Balancing Good and Bad Discoveries During a Remodel
Every home and every remodel comes with discoveries. In older homes, we never know what we’ll find when the walls and floors are opened up. However, our team is always prepared to problem solve and find creative solutions for whatever we find. Whether it’s uncovering original terrazzo floors worth restoring, old vaulted ceilings that had been lowered, or addressing hidden structural challenges, each discovery is handled with care to ensure the best outcome for each project.
Final Photos
Seeing this project come together was incredibly rewarding. The collaboration between our team, the designer, and the homeowners made it possible to restore original details, improve functionality, and bring in modern design elements that fit the home’s style. The finished spaces feel cohesive, practical, and timeless.
