Wish to greatly increase the size of your home, but you are landlocked with available space or property easements? Don’t want to lose yard space? Sometimes adding a story to your home is a great option. This decision requires some serious work (removing roofing systems, changing structural members, installing new flooring systems and building an entirely new space), but it can drastically change your home for the better and greatly increase your home’s property value.

Do you entertain often? Or enjoy showcasing bottles you’ve collected on special vacations? EMCR has built many bars (including public venues) and a few wine rooms/cellars. These features truly upgrade a home and take it to the next level.

Working with the existing footprint in your home is critical in any custom remodeling project. This can go hand-in-hand with adding a story to your home, but is also essential for maximizing your current space - identifying load bearing walls, moving or completely removing walls, raising ceilings, etc. - can all be great ways to turn crowded spaces into more comfortable living areas for your living situation.

We can take an existing home and strip it down to the bare structural elements to completely change the layout, design, and style of the new living space. This can be a perfect solution for those who have purchased an older home and wish to change everything before moving in, or for updating rental properties between tenants.

In today’s world, everything can be controlled through bluetooth or wi-fi, and your home doesn’t have to be an exception! Condense control of all your devices and items to a revolutionary, single system. Some items include, but are not limited to:

• Opening & closing garage doors, walk doors, and windows

• Controlling functions of TVs, sound, gaming, and intercom systems

• Changing thermostats, including zoned systems with multiple controls

• Sprinkler systems

• Operating floors and other radiant heated surfaces (heated driveways, roofing, etc.)

• Security systems and cameras

• Lighting throughout your house

• Even devices that can flush your toilets, turn on your shower, steam room, etc.

There are multiple advantages of being able to workout at home, and many people would prefer to have more than just a yoga mat and a few colored dumbbells in the corner. We have built multiple gyms for people’s homes (including a few at Jacob’s personal residences) and even some at the commercial level. We can help plan out the best way to layout all your machines, benches, racks and equipment for ease of use without crowding. We can also help with all the other options including sound dampening, vibration absorptions, sound systems, and wall/ceiling/flooring protection.

The majority of projects we take on fall into this category. When families live in their residence while work is being performed, we take special care in preparing and protecting the home from potential damage as well as minimizing disruption. We will keep your home clean, organized, and as comfortable as possible during the duration of the project.

Are you a movie buff or big sports fan? Ever wish to be able to go to the theater in the comfort of your own home? We have built multiple in-home media rooms for many purposes: movie theaters, multi-screen sports watching, recording/producing studios, etc. These spaces require a lot of planning and attention to detail, and EMCR is up for the challenge!

This is a two-part specialty. The first ties into live-in work; should a large project take place while you are living onsite, it is crucial to plan an effective phasing of work to be completed so your family has a livable space of your own while the remainder is under construction. The second is if your particular circumstance prevents work from going on for a long period of time, or if your budget requires portions of the project to spread out, we can easily work with you to break up all the desired items or rooms into separate phases.

EMCR has an extensive knowledge of the needs of both landlords and tenants in the rental market. We can help maximize potential return in rates for landlords, while providing more comfortable spaces for tenants.

Need to secure multiple or large items in a confined space? Wish to have a bunker/secure shelter at home for emergencies and protection? EMCR has experience installing these, complete with vaulted doors. You can trust in EMCR to give this sort of important, high-end job the attention it requires and deserves.

Not only are these extremely important parts of your home for functionality and safety, but they can also completely transform your living space’s aesthetics. Staircase layout, size of landings, curved stairs, depth and height of treads and risers, can all be areas of concern, comfort and ease of use. With the vast number of options in material selections and designs, changing the finish on your stairs and handrails can completely change the look of your home. Let EMCR take your home to the next level with an extraordinary staircase.

They are certain luxuries in life worth having at home. EMCR has installed numerous steam rooms and saunas and can help you transform some of your space into your own, personal spa getaway.

Have a limited space that you need to update to maximize storage and efficiency? Wish to transform your closets and pantries from standard “closed door spaces” to an actual show piece of your home? EMCR is highly experienced in optimizing storage and organization with custom hanging racks/displays, drawers, shelving, etc. Elevate your pantries, closets, mudrooms and laundry rooms to high-end spaces that will make your organizational dreams come true.
