Duke Home Improvement

Duke Home Improvement will be in Burlington October 29, 30, and the morning of October 31. If you have any small projects in the area that need my skills, let me know.

Adding faux panelling to the living area of this restored Victorian manor, helped bring some of the character from the late 1800s back into the home. #dukecanbuildit

With a bit of imagination, that old electric fireplace, or any other fireplace, can be turned into a real show piece. #dukecanbuildit

When it comes to home improvements, the home owner doesn't always see the work that goes on behind the walls. This slideshow doesn't include all the steps in the process of this transformation but it should give you an idea of how a simple bathromroom update isn't so simple. Take a look. #dukecanbuildit

This Leaside home was given new interlocking stone, stacked wall planters, a patio extension and a new sidewalk. We also installed in-ground sprinklers, low voltage lighting and a dripper system for their hanging baskets and flower beds. We also properly sloped the back yard for better drainage and re-seeded. #dukecanbuildit

A few examples of some transformations.

Take an out of date tub/shower, strip it to the studs, install new backer board, tiles, grout, and make it new again. #dukecanbuildit

Hide the clutter of garbage and recycling bins with a raccoon-proof storage system incorporated into your existing fence or as a stand-alone unit.

Turn a simple closet into a useable pantry with custom, adjustable shelving.

Replace that side by side washer/dryer set with a stackable duo and gain an extra storage closet in the process.

Custom coffee table made from reclaimed farm machinery parts. The base is from an old feed shredder and the top is a gear mold from a fertilizer processing operation.
