Full Kitchen Remodel – Tom and Cynthia Smothers

Tom and Cynthia, homeowners in Chelsea, talk about their experience remodeling their kitchen with Oak Alley. The kitchen was completely gutted before being rebuilt with new Sterling Gray-colored hardwood flooring, Cabico® brand cabinets, Pearlized Black countertops, and black appliances. Cabico bookcases and a gorgeous Cabico hutch finish the room perfectly. The entire kitchen, painted Sedate Gray and trimmed in white, glows with cabinet underlighting and LED Surface-Mount Downlights overhead. This was the second project the Smothers worked on with Oak Alley, the first being a master bath remodel. As with the prior project, the new layout is practical, adding functionality where needed while maintaining the beauty and charm of the home’s original design.

Function & Design – Deborah and Matt

Matt and Deborah, homeowners in Crestwood South, needed more space and functionality in their small master bath. In addition to a need to stand in the bathroom at the same time, they also wanted to add a bathtub. The desire was to pursue a remodel which fit in their home’s footprint while keeping the overall interior modifications to a minimum. Oak Alley helped them find the needed space by changing the traffic flow and modifying the master bedroom layout. Watch and listen as Matt and Deborah discuss the workflow and communication that helped them understand the project as it proceeded and resulted in a fully functional master bath and closet.

Whole House Remodel (part 1) – Bernice Graben

Bernice and Ken vacationed at Lake Logan Martin for years with their family before deciding to call it home full time. They soon found their small vacation lake house no longer fit the needs of full-time residents. They realized an overall remodel was the answer. Expansion of the living room (including picture windows to the lake), a larger kitchen, a dedicated master suite (with walk-in shower and separate tub), and a two-car garage were all pieces that updated the cramped quarters. Watch as Bernice discusses how the 3D renderings helped her visualize the project, as well as the comfort and trust she felt working with Oak Alley’s craftsmen.

Whole House Remodel (part 2) – Ken Graben

Ken and Bernice love the lake and love having family and friends over year-round. What they didn’t love was cramming everyone into the existing layout. They needed space that worked for them on a daily basis and for their guests as needed. Using careful planning, innovative design, and detailed construction, the Graben’s goals were met in full. Their remodel is functional and aesthetically pleasing with new construction blending seamlessly into the existing home. The end result is a perfect fitting home where they vacation every day! Listen as Ken talks about how Oak Alley’s experience with remodeling allowed the renovations and additions to blend with the existing home.

Accessibility & Universal Design – Wayne & Carolyn Fulmer

Wayne and Carolyn have always enjoyed nature. When the opportunity came to purchase a few acres of land in Chelsea, they jumped on it. Oak Alley worked with them to design and build their dream home with plenty of windows and wide porches for resting and watching the wildlife. A timeless design and quality craftsmanship have provided them twenty years of contentment in their home. The only modification has been the replacement of the back deck stairs with an inclined, decorative walkway to allow easier accessibility. Listen to their story of how they came to be part of the Oak Alley family.

 

Our Google Reviews

I can't praise Oak Alley enough! We had a good feeling about Mike from our very first meeting and were more and more impressed as the process continued. He is professional, knowledgeable, patient and talented. He and his team listened and made excellent suggestions that we'd never even considered. The end result is better than anything we'd hoped for, or even imagined! Having worked with other design and construction companies in Birmingham, I can without a doubt say that Oak Alley is the absolute BEST!

Elle Champion

Oak Alley is a great place to go for additions to your home! The entire team are always on the job and on spot with anything that needs doing. Mike is a dream to work with. His renderings on the computer really help in actually seeing what your addition will look like. I love that because I can't "see" what something can be so that is a huge plus. Chris is amazing. He can do anything. They are always on top of things and always friendly, polite and a blessing to work with. I would recommend them for any remodel or addition to your home.

Cindy Simons

Mike and Vicky are the type people you want to do business with. Integrity, hard work, and quality results are the standards they set for every interaction. If you want to have a remodeler listen to you and help your vision be realized, give them a call. Within minutes of speaking with either one of them you’ll be convinced of the high character people you’ve just met.

Jesse Saunders

There is no better company to use than Oak Alley! They listen to what you need done and get the work finished in a timely manner. Their work is top grade professional. They have won awards for their outstanding work and their reputation can’t be beat. Details are their highlight!

Beebe Miller

The Oak Alley Team has been an exceptional group to work with. Their knowledge and patience has put my mind at ease. They are assisting with some renovations in my parents’ home and on their property as I have had to move back home based on their health. Oak Alley has understood our needs, timeline and have not at all been pushy. I definitely would recommend reaching out to this company for any construction, home updates or home addition needs.

Kristi Austin

Jason Cole

I have known and worked on projects with Mike McKay and Gina Kitchens for almost 10 years now. They are not only kind people, but they are very talented and knowledgeable. In some cases, I have worked directly with their customers who have also expressed their satisfaction with Oak Alley.

Katherine Higgins

Oak Alley excels in working with clients to find the best solution for their home remodel. Patient and never rushed, they take the time to make sure you’re comfortable with the plan and the work. Highly recommended!

Kylee Adams

Mike and his Oak Alley team do a quality job in every respect. Mike listened to what we wished to see in the finished project. He then came up with some suggestions and unique ideas which had not occurred to us. He provided drawings along with product options and possibilities for us to consider.Mike is detailed and thorough in explaining things and once the job is started he stays on top of things to see they are done right!
