Dave Sorys

Owner

Dave Sorys first started working in the construction business in high school where he worked for Millard Lumber. As he expanded his knowledge in working with other contractors, Dave became interested in becoming more “hands-on” as opposed to working for a supplier. Dave was picked up by a framing company and within a couple of years, he had developed the knowledge necessary to start his own framing crew, which eventually developed into a full custom home and remodeling business. With experience in both residential and commercial construction, there is no aspect of construction that Dave is not familiar with. He has worked with some of the greatest (and even some of the not-so-greatest) subcontractors in his time, so he knows who will offer the quality craftsmanship that he expects each and every time.

Project Description

The Challenge

The homeowners recently purchased this 60-year-old home in Old Town Elkhorn, and it was begging for attention and modernized updates. The homeowners were drawn into this home; a sprawling ranch located on a large, tree-lotted area with plenty of space.

The Vision

The homeowners desired a more open-concept and modernized space, taking this home from the 1960s to a modernized traditional style. They knew they wanted to transform their home into a more functional and comfortable home, and to accomplish this, they would have to open up the kitchen space and fireplace located in the middle of the home.

The Solution

There was no doubt – the blue painted paneling located throughout the main floor had to go. Dave doubled the space of the kitchen, added a larger island for entertaining and more seating and updated the old white cabinets. They updated old hanging lighting fixtures with recessed can lighting, opened up the wall of the fireplace on both sides, allowing traffic to move through more freely. In addition to the updated interior living space, a glass sliding door was added that brings you to outdoor living on the newly poured patio shaded by mature trees.

The Results

The homeowners were able to transition their outdated home to modernized and comfortable, without losing the warmth and character that appealed to them when purchasing.They were able to create a more spacious and comfortable space that is great for lounging or entertaining. The homeowners can now lounge in their renovated sun porch that is enjoyable from spring to fall..
