Overview
AAA Home Improvements was selected to complete a transformational $1.5 million renovation and addition on this expansive estate. The project combined a full-scale interior remodel with a dramatic structural expansion, bringing luxury design and artisan craftsmanship together. From reimagining the kitchen and living areas to constructing a stunning turret with a custom staircase, this home is now a showpiece of timeless design and elevated function.
Integrating a large addition into an existing structure—especially with a circular turret—required precise engineering and expert craftsmanship. AAA coordinated closely with architects, engineers, and trades to ensure a seamless look and feel. Custom fabrication was needed for the staircase, ceiling beams, and window framing to match the scale and elegance of the design.

Timeline & Process
At AAA Home Improvements, we follow a proven 6-step process that ensures every project—no matter the size—is delivered with integrity, craftsmanship, and clear communication. For this custom remodel and addition, our system provided the foundation for a smooth, on-budget, and on-time build.
Step 1:
Discovery & Initial Consultation
We began by meeting on-site to understand the homeowner’s goals, explore the existing structure, and assess feasibility for the addition and full remodel. We discussed design inspiration, rough budgets, and functional needs to begin shaping the project direction.
Step 2:
Design Collaboration & Scope Development
Next, we worked closely with architects and designers to define the scope of work. This included everything from structural layout and materials to mechanical system upgrades and finishes. Our estimating team provided a detailed budget with clearly outlined phases and allowances.
Step 3:
Contract Finalization & Permitting
Once the scope and budget were approved, we finalized the contract and managed all necessary permitting. Our team handled documentation and compliance with local building codes and zoning regulations to ensure the project could move forward without delays.
Step 4:
Construction Kickoff
-
-
Months 1–3: Demolition, excavation, foundation for basement and turret structure
-
Months 4–8: Framing, roofing, and utility rough-ins (plumbing, HVAC, electrical)
-
Months 9–12: Insulation, drywall, window/door installation, and exterior stonework

Step 5:
Finishing Touches & Quality Control
Every detail matters. From the curve of the custom staircase to the grain of the cabinetry, our craftsmen completed the project to the highest standards. Final trim, paint, lighting, and hardware were installed with care, followed by a comprehensive punch list walkthrough.
Step 6:
Client Handoff & Long-Term Support
We closed the project with a full client walkthrough, ensuring satisfaction and functionality. All systems were tested, and a homeowner care guide was provided. Our team remains available post-project for any future questions, warranty follow-ups, or additional enhancements.
