One Call Cody

Limestone has built this region in more ways than just the stack stone foundations of the old farm houses we have grown to adore and preserve. We love any chance we get to showcase how beautiful this native stone can tie a nicely and naturally landscaped yard together.
When we first met with this client, they were hoping we could refinish an old wooden deck that spanned the rear wall of their home. After further inspection, it was clear the deck would unfortunately need a complete rebuild. As we discussed what the client really wanted in a patio and assessed the conditions around the exterior of the home, moisture resistance became everything.
Their landscape was full of native plant installations. We designed and constructed a 12’x16’ stagger pattern limestone patio with a rough faced retention wall. The patio is framed in with a 4’ moat of various grades of river rock, making it a great place to stage planters and pots with plenty of drainage. Set into the river rock is an arrangement of limestone slabs to form walkways to and from the patio.
This was a wonderful environment and project to be a part of and the whole crew would agree. It was a great feeling to see all of the elements of south central Indiana tie together so beautifully in a backyard in the heart of our home town🛠

Check out our project manager and refinishing specialist Ed Fitzgerald running a 14” saw to slice up this concrete pad for removal! We love getting to change up the tasks at hand daily, offering a variety of services and solutions to maintain and invest in your home.🛠

Not everything we do is a transformation. Sometimes, clients ask us to help them get their homes ready to sell so they can maximize returns. We were asked to redo an entryway in Martinsville through the winter for that very purpose. They just wanted a close match and simple tile job to replace the large amount of loose tiles as soon as you step in the door. They had similar tiles and tones through the house already, so it was not too terribly hard to source a product that met the aesthetic and requirements.
One fun little task was to make a new trim piece to conceal the tile edge around the bottom stair matching the finished wood in the space. Now the first thing potential buyers will notice is the beautiful, spacious home and not the shifting tiles under their feet. This project also came with a one year warranty that they can pass along to the new homeowners for tile replacement and grout repairs if any were to fail. Don’t mind the painters tape on the floor. The client removed it the day after to allow the threshold sealant time to cure🛠

I always love making it back to a home after clients have gotten the chance to enjoy the work that’s been done. It’s wonderful to get the opportunity to see the smile on their face after they’ve been able to appreciate the build they dreamed of. It’s even better when you get a chance to see the selection of quality literature and vinyl!
The display lighting is in and is the perfect final touch to finish out this project. With this one concluded, we’ve begun discussing a deck restoration project when the warmer months arrive. I look forward to being a guest in this home for another fun build ahead!🛠
