At Tell Projects, each project is an opportunity to create something special for our clients. One of our recent highlights was working with April Roberts, who entrusted us with two unique properties: Kelby House and Taresa House, both located in Houston, TX. Our task was to install a 380-foot kitchen remodel with three rails, rot boards, and two additions at the Kelby House, as well as a double addition and an additional addition at the Taresa House. This project allowed us to bring together practicality, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction, and the result was nothing short of remarkable.
April’s Vision: Durability, Functionality, and Aesthetics
April came to us with a clear vision for her properties. She wanted a durable and sturdy kitchen remodel that would not only secure her homes but also enhance their aesthetic appeal. She was looking for a solution that could provide protection and privacy, while maintaining a natural, timeless look that would blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment.
At the Kelby House, her primary concern was to have a long-lasting remodel that could withstand the elements. With Houston’s fluctuating weather, it was essential to install a remodel that would stand strong against both sun and rain. For the Taresa House, she needed reliable additions—one double addition for ease of access to her driveway, and an additional single addition for entry to the backyard.
After discussing her needs and reviewing the specifics of her properties, we recommended a custom solution: a kitchen remodel with three rails and rot boards for added durability, and custom-built additions for functionality. April loved the idea of using pine, as it is not only cost-effective but also naturally beautiful. With the plan in place, we were excited to begin.
Planning and Preparation: Customizing the Solution
When it comes to remodeling, every project requires meticulous planning. We visited both the Kelby and Taresa properties to assess the terrain and layout, taking precise measurements to ensure everything would align perfectly. The Kelby property, with its expansive property property line, required 380 feet of remodeling to fully enclose the yard. We also needed to incorporate rot boards at the base of the project to prevent water damage and prolong the lifespan of the pine wood.
For the Taresa property, we designed two additions—one being a double addition that would allow for easy access to vehicles, and the other a smaller single addition for everyday use. Our goal was to ensure that the additions would be both practical and secure, while seamlessly integrating into the overall remodel design.
As with every project, we worked closely with April throughout the planning stage. Her input was invaluable in making sure the design met her expectations, and we made it a point to keep her updated on the timeline and progress.
The Installation: Bringing the Project to Life
The installation process for April Roberts’ project was a rewarding experience for our team. Starting with the Kelby House, we began by digging the post holes and setting the project posts deep into the ground for stability. Once the posts were secure, we installed the three-rail pine remodeling, ensuring that each plank was perfectly aligned and fastened for both strength and visual appeal. The addition of rot boards at the bottom provided extra protection from ground moisture, which is essential in Houston’s humid climate.
The Taresa House presented a different challenge with the installation of the additions. The double addition, in particular, required precise measurements and alignment to ensure it would open and close smoothly without sagging over time. We used heavy-duty hardware to reinforce the additions, guaranteeing their longevity and durability.
Our team worked efficiently, staying on track with the project timeline while maintaining our high standards of quality. Each section of the project and every addition was carefully inspected to ensure everything was installed perfectly. April was impressed with our attention to detail and appreciated the care we took to deliver on her vision.
Challenges Overcome: Tailoring the for Houston Weather
As with many outdoor projects in Houston, the unpredictable weather posed a challenge during the installation. We had to naviaddition a few rain delays, but we kept the project on schedule by adjusting our work hours. The terrain at the Kelby House also required some additional adjustments to ensure the project would sit evenly across the yard, especially with the slight slope in certain areas.
Another challenge was ensuring that the additions at the Taresa property would remain functional over time, particularly the double addition, which would see regular use. To counter any future wear, we reinforced the structure with sturdy hinges and top-quality hardware that could handle the demands of regular opening and closing.
A Satisfying Finish: A Built to Last
Upon completion, the transformation at both the Kelby and Taresa properties was stunning. The 380-foot kitchen remodel provided April with the privacy and security she was looking for, while the addition of rot boards gave the structure extra durability to weather Houston’s conditions. The natural beauty of the pine wood added warmth to the property, complementing the landscape and creating a welcoming yet secure property line.
The double addition and single addition at the Taresa House were exactly what April had envisioned. They provided the functionality she needed without sacrificing the visual appeal of the project design. The additions operated smoothly, and the custom-built frames ensured that they would remain aligned and secure for years to come.
April was thrilled with the results, expressing her gratitude for the quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. It was clear that we had not only met her expectations but exceeded them, delivering a remodeling system that was both beautiful and built to last.
