Demolishing existing walls, to gain access to wiring and plumbing, was one of the first steps. This was preceded only by removing old appliances. Based on access limitations and logistics, all material from demolition was routed through window to truck. This photo was taken at beginning stages of project.
Scope of work was to convert this apartment building into individual condominiums. Painting, framing, electrical work was yet to begin. Worked with SDG&E to introduce separate "lines" and meters. This photo was taken prior to beginning work.
All rooms remodeled, painting and landscaping finished. This photo was taken at completion of work.
Kitchen rewiring and plumbing is complete. Drywall added, mud added and finished, and walls primed. Final paint, outlets, lights
and counter tops to be added. This photo was taken mid-way through project.
Final paint, outlets, lights and counter tops added. This photo was taken at completion of work.

Scope of work was to convert this apartment building into individual condominiums. Painting, framing, electrical work notwithstanding, an area sometimes overlooked is the need to work with public utilities (i.e., SDG&E) to introduce separate "lines" and meters. This photo was taken prior to beginning work.
Demolishing existing walls, to gain access to wiring and plumbing, was one of the first steps. This was preceded only by removing
old appliances. The rear of the building was the staging area, from where the appliances were picked up. Note that this photo
depicts the beginning of what became a huge gathering of assorted appliances
Though the existing cosmetics (paint condition, paint color, etc) was satisfactory, there were areas that should have been better
planned, like the landscaping. It should be noted that the entire process of remodeling was an ongoing joint effort (between
property owner and "A Better Way") to reach agreement on new color schemes and landscaping (plants vs. grass vs. stones, etc).
This photo was taken prior to beginning work.
There is a specific sequence involved in ultimately completing a project. Note that the walls have been painted and the fence has been replaced, but the landscaping has not yet been accomplished. This photo was taken mid-way through the construction.
Stair railings have been painted, landscaping added. Job is complete. This photo was taken at completion of work.
Aside from all the old appliances being removed, the garage area was repainted and the drive way was power washed. Take notice
that the upper-left window was replaced (due to the owner's request), which resulted in some last-minute touch-up. This photo was taken with 95% of the work already complete.
Observe that the driveway has been stamped and stained, giving it a unique, contemporary look. This photo was taken with 95% of
the work already complete (rain gutters and landscaping had not yet been accomplished).
The kitchen has been painted and the cabinets are ready to be installed. This photo was taken mid-way through the kitchen's
remodeling.
Kitchen cabinets and ceiling fans are installed. Kitchen counter top has been added. This photo was taken at completion of work.

Rain gutters have been added and landscaping has been completed. This photo was taken at completion of work.
