The project features custom cabinetry paired with quartz countertops in the kitchen, a stone fireplace as a living room focal point, and a custom bathroom vanity designed to maximize both storage and style.
The master bathroom renovation showcases a striking herringbone-tiled shower, while the addition of a 3-seasons room expands the home’s living space.
Together, these updates create a cohesive transformation that elevates everyday living with comfort, beauty, and precision.
"What started out as a small project quickly escalated into a main floor remodel. We ended up gutting the kitchen and master bath. We also had the fireplace and the builtins redone. New lighting and a new steel french door to our screened porch.
Mike and his team created a timeline and assured us once they started they would be here till it was done. They did and that was important to me.
The craftsmanship was outstanding. We were thrilled with quality and attention to detail. They also were very good at cleaning and putting the house back to as normal as possible at the end of each day I would highly recommend Mike and his team."

From Small Screens to Full Renovation: An East Peoria Home Transformation
At Walters Woodworking, some of our favorite projects start with small details and grow into long-term relationships. That’s exactly the case with this East Peoria homeowner, who first reached out to us back in 2020 looking for a residential contractor who could offer a meaningful upgrade: custom wood-framed screens for their three-seasons room. Our team built those screens to last, blending function with the warm character of wood that elevated their relaxing outdoor retreat.
Fast forward to 2025, and the same client contacted us again, this time for something much bigger. After years of enjoying the craftsmanship of the 3-seasons room, they trusted us to take on a whole-home renovation. Their wish list included a kitchen remodel, living room renovation, and a master bathroom transformation.
Designing with Precision and Purpose
Every successful project begins with thoughtful planning. We scheduled consultations with the homeowners to fully understand their goals, priorities, and budget. From there, our designers developed detailed plans, presenting them with options that balanced custom craftsmanship with functional upgrades.
The client chose a design that highlighted the heart of their home:
Custom cabinetry paired with quartz countertops in the kitchen for a bright, durable, and timeless look.
A stone fireplace to anchor the living room and create a natural focal point.
A custom bathroom vanity designed for both storage and elegance.
A herringbone-tiled shower in the master bathroom, bringing texture and a modern twist to a classic style.
On Time and On Budget
One of the client’s concerns was timing—they didn’t want a renovation that dragged on for months. Thanks to our proven process and commitment to clear communication, we were able to begin the project just 34 days after the final design approval. Once underway, our crew worked efficiently while maintaining the meticulous attention to detail that defines every Walters Woodworking project.
From start to finish, the entire renovation was completed in just 78 days. This balance of speed and quality gave the family the confidence that their home was in the right hands.
A Home Reimagined
The final result was nothing short of transformative. The homeowners now enjoy a space that feels both modern and timeless, customized and comfortable. Each room flows seamlessly into the next, with handcrafted details that reflect their personal style.
What began as a small project in 2020 grew into a full-home collaboration five years later, a reminder that the relationships we build are just as important as the spaces we renovate. At Walters Woodworking, we don’t just complete projects; we build trust, one detail at a time.
Before and Afters
Kitchen Renovation
A kitchen renovation can completely transform the feel and function of a home. Often considered the heart of the house, the kitchen is where families gather, meals are prepared, and memories are made.
Updating the space with new custom cabinetry, countertops, and thoughtful layouts not only makes daily life more enjoyable but also enhances the efficiency and flow of the home.
A renovated kitchen can brighten the entire main living area, create better storage and organization, and add lasting value to the property, making it one of the most impactful investments a homeowner can make.
Master Bathroom Renovation
A master bathroom renovation brings both comfort and luxury to everyday living. More than just a functional space, the master bath can become a private retreat within the home offering a place to relax, recharge, and start or end the day with ease. Much like the kitchen, it’s a space used everyday and multiple times per day, so it’s important that the space not only functions well, but feels good to be in too.
Upgrading features like a custom vanity, walk-in shower, or modern tilework not only elevates the design but also improves organization, efficiency, and long-term value. A refreshed master bathroom enhances the overall quality of life while adding a touch of sophistication that homeowners enjoy daily.
Living Room Renovation
A living room renovation can completely transform the heart of a home. As the central gathering space for family, friends, and everyday life, an updated living room creates both functionality and warmth. By reimagining layouts, incorporating custom cabinetry or a striking fireplace feature, and enhancing finishes, the space becomes more inviting and reflective of a homeowner’s style. A thoughtfully renovated living room not only improves comfort and flow but also strengthens the home’s sense of connection—making it a place where lasting memories are made.
3-Seasons Room Renovation
A 3-seasons room renovation can expand your living space while bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside. With thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship, this versatile room becomes a relaxing retreat for morning coffee, family gatherings, or quiet evenings without the worry of weather or bugs.
Upgrades like custom screens, durable flooring, and stylish finishes make the space both functional and inviting, turning what was once underused square footage into one of the most enjoyed areas of the home.
