Project Summary
They first noticed their floors were buckling in places. By the time these Blaine homeowners traced the problem back to the dishwasher, the damage was done and it was significant.
They turned to their Facebook community for referrals and got a solid recommendation to speak with the experts at Murphy Bros. Design Build Remodel. Our insurance experts met with them and determined what it would realistically take to restore everything damaged to its original state—a figure much higher than the insurance company had originally offered. Shocking.
By carefully building a realistic budget needed for the restoration, we were then able to pivot and add what these homeowners had always wanted to make their kitchen and living room into the entertainment space they desired.
