Full Gut Renovation — 4 Bed / 3.5 Bath Home Redesign with European Kitchen & New Roof
Of all the projects in WM Construction’s portfolio, the renovation at Norton Ave represents the most comprehensive scope of residential transformation the company undertakes. The project involved not just cosmetic improvements but a full structural redesign of the home’s floor plan — walls were removed, new walls were framed, and the entire layout was reconfigured to create a functional four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home.
Layered on top of that structural work was a complete kitchen gut and rebuild, a new roof, full rewire, full repipe, European cabinetry, hardwood floors, decorative panels, and 3.5 bathroom remodels including a freestanding tub in the primary suite. Every system in this home was touched.

European Kitchen with a 9-Foot Island — Where Design Meets Serious Functionality
The kitchen was rebuilt around a European aesthetic with flat-panel, frameless cabinetry — a style that eliminates the center stile found on traditional face-frame cabinets, allowing drawers and doors to open to the full interior width of each box. Soft-close hardware was fitted on every door and drawer as standard. The result is a kitchen that reflects a more refined, contemporary sensibility while delivering practical storage advantages. Quartz countertops were installed throughout the kitchen surfaces, providing a non-porous, maintenance-light work environment that holds up to the demands of a working household.
3.5 Bathrooms Rebuilt — Including a Freestanding Tub in the Primary Suite
Every bathroom in the home — three full and one half — was gutted and rebuilt. All full bathrooms received large-format porcelain tile on the walls, floor, and shower pan. Porcelain was selected for its density, low water absorption rate, and resistance to cracking in temperature-variable California climates. Quartz countertops were installed on all vanities to maintain consistency with the kitchen’s material language and reduce long-term maintenance requirements. Frameless glass shower enclosures were fitted in each full bathroom, removing visual clutter and allowing the tile work to remain the focal point of each space.

Structural Redesign, New Roof, Full Systems Replacement & Decorative Panels
The structural transformation of this home was extensive. Multiple walls were removed and new partitions were framed to achieve the four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath configuration — a conversion that required careful planning around load paths, MEP rough-in coordination, and finish sequencing. A new roof was installed as part of the project, replacing aging materials and addressing the home’s most critical weatherproofing layer before any interior work was completed. The full electrical rewire and plumbing repipe replaced every aging system with new material, bringing the home into full code compliance. Decorative wall panels were added in key areas to introduce texture and architectural depth, a finishing detail that elevates the home from renovated to distinctly designed.
