OUR PROJECTS

Every project starts with something that needs to change. From demolition and cleanouts to remodeling and restoration, our projects showcase the work behind RAZE+RAISE clearing what needs to go and building toward what comes next. Explore our projects below to see the process, the progress, and the finished work.

OUTDOOR FIREPIT

One of our favorite projects, this outdoor gathering space was built from the ground up to create a functional and inviting area for family and friends. The project began with removing an existing tree and preparing the entire area for construction. We then built the two pergolas to support the hanging chairs and swing, constructed the fire pit using landscape stone, and installed a brick landscape border around the seating area. The finished space was completed with pea gravel, creating a clean, low maintenance surface that ties the entire area together. From clearing the space to building the finished gathering area, this project is a great example of "raising" an open space into something designed to be enjoyed for years to come.

DRIVEWAY + WALKWAY

This project focused on cleaning up and redefining an existing driveway while creating a substantial new walkway leading to the property. We cleaned up the existing driveway outline and installed a landscape timber border to give the space a clean, finished edge. We then built a 8 foot wide walkway, also outlined with landscape timbers, creating a durable and defined path with a substantial presence. The driveway was finished with B2 gravel, while the walkway was filled with pea gravel to provide a softer, more comfortable feel underfoot. The combination of materials creates a clean contrast between the driveway and walkway while giving the entire entrance a more intentional, finished appearance. A simple existing space, cleaned up, redefined, and "raised" into something more functional.

BATHROOM REMODEL

This project was a complete bathroom transformation, starting with a full gut down to the studs. We addressed areas affected by water swelling and made the necessary repairs before rebuilding the space. A new tub was installed with Nextile shower walls, followed by new drywall throughout the room. We also removed the existing ceiling tiles to expose and restore the original drywall underneath. The remodel included additional electrical outlets, a new exhaust fan, and updated lighting, bringing both function and appearance up to date. The finished space was completed with marble look LVT flooring, giving the bathroom a clean, modern finish. From a stripped down space to a completely refreshed bathroom, this project is a great example of taking what needed "razed" and "raising" it into something new.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

This project is a good example of how even a smaller project can require careful planning and skilled work. We converted an existing wood burning fireplace area to accommodate a new fireplace, beginning with the electrical and structural preparation needed for the installation. The project included running a dedicated electrical circuit, installing a new receptacle, and constructing a custom base for the fireplace to sit on. We then completed the installation of the new fireplace, creating a clean and functional finished space.

CARPORT SAND & STAIN

Sometimes the smaller projects make a big difference. For this carport refresh, we started by sanding the existing wood surfaces with 80 grit sandpaper to remove loose, weathered material, followed by a 220 grit sanding to prepare the surfaces for a smooth, paint ready finish.

We then applied a fresh coat of paint in the original color using a paint sprayer for consistent coverage throughout the structure. The goal was to help protect the wood against changing weather conditions while restoring a clean, refreshed appearance. A little preparation and maintenance can go a long way in protecting what you have and keeping it looking its best.
