Haleakala Shores 2

This was a part time vacation rental / part time winter home for the owners parents, and our client decided to do a significant upgrade and stoke out Mom and Dad. What a guy! This was actually our third project in the Haleakala Shores complex, but only our second complete remodel. All in all it was pretty typical for a Kihei condo. Scope of work included popcorn ceiling removal with retextured ceilings and walls, we installed white shaker cabinets, interior door replacement with new 2 panel doors, square trim baseboards and door casing, granite countertop installation, and installation of new fans and lighting.

Although the remodel was pretty consistent with most condos in the complex, we did have the opportunity to do a couple of things differently on this one. Because space was so tight upon entering, we opted to redesign the entire entry. This involved opening up a closet by removing the header and pushing the water heater to an outside closet. Tim then had the thought that appliances now a days are so attractive, why hide them in a closet? We decided to incorporate them into the kitchen plan and increase our overall countertop space. We then decided to use stucco foam as a sort of disguise for wires running to fans and make it look like it was a structural component to the building that we plastered over. So much easier on the eyes than your typical wire mold when you need to run electrical wires over cement walls or ceilings. Both of those ideas were firsts for us on this project and we have used both ideas several times since then.
