Wilson-Covington has recently completed a kitchen remodel in Winston-Salem, NC. We worked closely with the homeowners to determine their ultimate aims and budget.

Here are some before and after photos of repairs already completed.

Following months of extensive demolition work, framing, siding, roofing, stucco, window installation, exterior trim work, and fighting off mosquitoes, black flies, and the occasional flock of geese, the crowning element of the “lighthouse” on the front facade of the lodge has been placed. Although exterior work is not complete, this marks a highlight in the process and now finish work will begin in earnest on the interior of the home. Wood finishes including many reclaimed beams, mahogany, and heart pine will serve to accent the open living area, kitchen, study, and bedrooms of the home.
