Bella Casa Renovations-tallahassee

Change can be hard and scary but it can also be exciting! I've spent the last 27 years in residential construction, the first half with my wonderful husband as my business partner and the second half on my own. I have made my own path, made countless friends along the way and have loved every minute of it. I may be able to visualize a completed project before I ever start but I've never known how or when this personal chapter would end. Last year when my nephew called me for advice on a project suddenly everything just fell into place. I'm not leaving the world of construction, just shifting gears a little to give more time to Arris General Contractors, Inc., working with my husband and son, having lunch more often with girlfriends, tending the garden and sitting on the beach. I could never express my gratitude in words to this community that has supported me all these years. Please continue to be supportive of the next generation, they are our future ♥️ I could not be more excited to give Bella Casa Renovations to you Travis ...I know you are going to be an amazing contractor and will make me proud

Before and after photos of our favorite personal project we’ve ever done ❤️ So many original features and materials kept and made new again, while adding new materials that complimented the original construction.

We gave new life to all 3 bathroom in this home. Always fun turning a homeowners ideas into reality 😁

Sneak peek of our personal project. Cabinets going in tomorrow. Only a few more weeks and we'll be complete! When you walk through the door you can still feel the love in this house ♥️

Crazy busy week at our personal project! Tile work, exterior painting and part of the interior painting, wood floors going in and repair of the existing wood floors, windows being replaced and the landscape crew is pulling up now. Even with all this going on here we also started 2 new projects this week! Multi-tasking at the highest level 😁

What an amazing find this week during demo...the original wood ceiling in the kitchen, dining room and foyer! This part of the house was originally the front porch and carport but was turned into the kitchen, dining room and foyer in 1958. Hidden behind Sheetrock and plaster for 60+ years has kept it in perfect condition. So excited for the charm and character it will add to this already sweet home ❤️

So excited about our next personal project. Have you ever walked into a home and you could feel the love and happiness that has lived there ♥️ Stay tuned for before and after photos...and probably some in the process photos too!

Finally got a full day in the office and Bella the office kitty napped on my desk all day

Our latest personal project. This neglected 1946 home in mid town just needed someone with some vision, some love and a lot of work. My heart is happy because the new owners love this home as much as I do.

Please be sure you are hiring licensed AND insured companies to work on you home.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays! We have completed all 3 of our projects just in time for the holidays for these special clients 🤗

Exterior renovations in full swing here! New windows,door and now roof.

What a difference color can make! What a happy cheerful house 💙

Guess what day it is?? Demo day 😃 Out with the old kitchen and in with the new.

The landscaping is gone and now we start replacing windows and installing a new front door.

When life gives you lemons make lemonade... or a margarita 😃 that’s what we are doing here! The neighbor accidentally drove his truck into this house and now it’s getting a total exterior makeover. And since we are here we might as well give some of the interior a makeover too.

When your retired building inspector client tells you he’s proud of you and you’re doing a great job ❤️

Finally stopped raining long enough to get another one started. Building this in-law addition for the sweetest couple! They are so sweet I look forward to spending time with them every day of this project 🤗 you can see them on the porch watching it happen.

This may not look like much now but today is the start an in-law addition for awesome clients. First order of business... move the septic tank since it's right where the addition is going.

Moving right along on the sunroom.

After a total remodel. If homes could smile this one is smiling 😃

Here are the before pictures of our mid century modern before we started our total makeover.

Guess what day it is?!?! it's finally framing day on the sunroom addition 😃 woohoo! All this rain over the last 45 days has made it really challenging but we are moving along now.

Our mid-century mod is almost ready to find its new family! Original wood floors beautifully restored, painters working hard, kitchen cabinets being installed and carpenters working on trim details. We can't wait to share the finished project with you!

We have been super busy lately! The Granny Flat is finished and they have moved in! The sunroom addition will finally have a complete slab today if the rain holds off. Permitting 3 new projects. Today at the mid-century mod we are sanding 60 years off these wood floors and making the look new again!

What a glorious morning! Blue sky's and no rain (at least for a little while). Finally getting the block walls going for the sunroom addition.

When your concrete truck driver is just that good! Tight space to work in but the footers are in for this new sunroom addition

Update on our mid-century mod renovation.... over the last several weeks we have completely removed the old kitchen and 2 baths, upgraded the electrical service to the house, installed a new electrical panel and roughed in for new lighting, repaired old plumbing, installed a new HVAC system, enlarged the master bedroom, installed all new doors and windows and replace roofing on the back of the house. Now it's time to start putting this awesome home back together! Stay tuned for sneak peaks of our progress.
