Living Room and Family Room Remodeling
The living room is often the very first impression guests have of your home, and more importantly, it is the place where your family unwinds together. It is the setting for movie nights, holiday gatherings, and quiet Sunday afternoons. At David L Rogers Construction, we believe your living room should strike a perfect balance between comfort and style. If your current space feels outdated, closed off, or simply doesn’t match your personality, Dave Lawrence Rogers is here to help you reimagine it. We specialize in updating living spaces to suit modern lifestyles, focusing on improved flow, updated aesthetics, and enhanced functionality.
One of the most common requests we receive is to create an open-concept floor plan. Older homes often have living rooms that are walled off from the kitchen and dining areas, making the host feel isolated and the house feel smaller than it is. We have extensive experience in removing non-load-bearing walls—and properly engineering support beams for load-bearing ones—to open up the space. This transformation allows light to travel freely from one end of the house to the other and creates a social environment where conversation can flow easily between rooms. We handle all the structural work with precision and safety as our top priority.
Beyond structural changes, we focus on the architectural details that give a room character. If you have a fireplace that looks stuck in a past decade, we can revitalize it. Whether it involves refacing an old brick hearth with modern stone, building a custom mantle, or converting a wood-burning fireplace to gas for convenience, we make the fireplace a stunning focal point. We can also install custom built-in cabinetry and shelving. Built-ins are a fantastic way to add storage for books, electronics, and decor while reducing clutter and eliminating the need for bulky furniture. We design these units to blend seamless with the style of your home, whether that is traditional, craftsman, or contemporary.
Flooring and walls set the tone for the entire room. If your living room has worn-out carpet or scratched floors, we can install beautiful hardwood, durable laminate, or tile. We ensure the subfloor is solid and level so your new floor looks perfect and doesn’t squeak. For the walls, we go beyond just a fresh coat of paint. We can smooth out textured ceilings (removing that dated “popcorn” look), install wainscoting or beadboard for added elegance, or apply shiplap for a touch of rustic charm. We also upgrade the trim work, replacing narrow baseboards and casings with substantial, high-quality molding that frames the room beautifully.
Lighting is another element that can drastically change the mood of a living room. Many older homes rely on a single ceiling fixture or switched outlets for lamps, which can leave the room feeling dim. We design layered lighting plans that include recessed can lights for general illumination, dimmer switches for controlling the mood, and accent lighting to highlight artwork or architectural features. We can also install ceiling fans to improve air circulation and comfort. We handle all the electrical rewiring needed to support these upgrades safely.
Windows and doors connect your indoor living space with the outdoors. We can replace small, inefficient windows with larger, energy-efficient models that flood the room with natural light. If you have a patio or deck, we can install sliding glass doors, French doors, or even large folding door systems that completely blur the line between inside and outside, effectively expanding your living area during the warmer months. We ensure that all installations are weather-tight and secure.
Throughout the remodeling process, David L Rogers Construction treats your home with the utmost respect. We know that the living room is a central hub, and having it under construction can be inconvenient. We work diligently to keep the project on schedule and the workspace tidy. We protect your furniture and other rooms from dust and debris. Dave Lawrence Rogers is personally involved in ensuring the quality of the work meets our high standards.
Your living room should be a reflection of you—a place where you are proud to entertain and happy to relax. Whether you want a formal sitting room or a casual family hangout, we listen to your needs and bring your vision to life. We combine quality craftsmanship with a personal touch to create a living space that feels fresh, inviting, and uniquely yours.
