About This Project
“Operation Restoration” was a project driven by the desire to rebuild not just a space, but a sense of home. After a flood left the basement damaged and in disrepair, our team set out to restore both function and sentiment. We removed old elements, like a bar and damaged flooring, while paying tribute to the past by incorporating a custom metal access panel crafted by the homeowner’s late husband. From repairing drywall to installing the access panel for the water line, every step of the transformation was carefully planned to blend modern comfort with cherished memories. In the end, it wasn’t just the homeowner who was pleased—even the family pets gave their approval to the newly revitalized space!

Beams- DURING OppRest Basement Stairs Door
AFTER- Our team installed a new basement door that swings the other way so it doesn’t hit another door in that hallway.
Beams- AFTER OppRest Basement Stairs Door
AFTER- Our team installed a new door, which was painted a fresh white color. This creates a more dedicated space for the basement and doesn’t hit the other door in the hallway.
Beams- DURING OppRest Exposed Pipe
DURING- It is a necessity for the homeowner to have access to the main water line. Already enclosed in the wall, our team was tasked with installing a special access panel.
