Project Description
Location: Madison, NJ
Scope of Work: Picture-frame molding, crown molding, hardwood floor installation, hardwood floor refinishing, wallpaper removal, interior painting.
These new homeowners had a tight 3-week timeline to complete cosmetic upgrades to their newly purchased home in Madison, NJ. The Monk’s crew was hard at work the day after closing and finished with time to spare.
In just two and a half weeks we were able to:
- repaint their kitchen cabinets,
- replace the linoleum floor in the kitchen and laundry room and install new hardwood flooring,
- refinish and stain all the hardwood floors,
- install new baseboards throughout the first floor of the home,
- install new crown molding throughout the entire home,
- install picture frame molding in the dining room,
- repaint the children’s bedrooms, and
- remove wallpaper and paint a bathroom.
Phew!
Let’s start in the dining room. We installed picture-frame molding as well as crown molding here. The floors were refinished and stained with a deeper brown which was carried throughout all the hardwood in the home.
Monk’s Method
In the laundry room, the cabinetry was removed to open up the backdoor entryway.
The linoleum floor in the laundry room and kitchen was replaced with hardwood flooring which we installed and stained.
In the kitchen, the cabinets were painted a clean, crisp white. Here are the newly-installed hardwood floors before they were stained.
In the children’s bedrooms, we created a fun and distinct space to welcome the kids to their new home.
In the son’s room, a chair rail was added and the room was painted in two colors. Crown molding was also added.
In the girl’s bedroom, a pink color block accent wall was painted along with the addition of crown molding.
A hallway bathroom was given an update simply by removing the wallpaper and being painted white. Wallpaper and paint updates are quick and relatively inexpensive ways to make a big impact.
In the stairway, wallpaper was removed and the floors were refinished and stained by hand.
In the Master bedroom we added crown and baseboard molding, refinished the floors, and painted.
