NARI Atlanta Announces its Eighth Annual Tour of Remodeled Homes

NARI Atlanta (www.nariatlanta.org), the local chapter of the National Association for the Remodeling Industry, will present its Eighth Annual Tour of Remodeled Homes Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Four private homes transformed by NARI Atlanta members throughout Atlanta’s northern suburbs will be open to the public, with the remodeling teams on hand to discuss each project and answer questions. The tour is self-guided and will be held rain or shine. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 the day of the tour, and are available at www.atlantaremodelingtour.com.

Premier Sponsors for the NARI Tour of Remodeled Homes include AVI Marvin, PMC Building Materials and Dove Studio Kitchen & Bath. Proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Metro Atlanta, which accepts donations of used furniture, home improvement items, appliances and surplus building supplies for resale at a deep discount to the public. Funds generated support the work of partnering Habitat affiliates throughout the city’s suburban counties. www.suburbanatlantarestores.org

“I am delighted to welcome Habitat ReStore as this year’s non-profit partner for the NARI Tour of Remodeled Homes”, said Jesse Morado, executive director of NARI Atlanta. “Their metro Atlanta Habitat affiliates bring together skilled remodelers, home builders, volunteers and donors to create high quality, low-cost homes for working families throughout 12 suburban counties, and the ReStores help fund this important work. NARI Atlanta is proud to support this organization with the proceeds from our annual Tour of Remodeled Homes.”

Tour homes include the following:

• Distinctive Remodeling Solutions (home in northside Atlanta) – Built in 1956 and with numerous additions and renovations in the following years, this northside Atlanta home has been transformed from tired to refreshed. The dated floor plan and disconnected updates were flawlessly brought together for the specific requirements of the current owners. New features include a private entrance to the master suite, which includes an office, bedroom and updated master bath. Unfinished attic space was transformed into a teenager’s retreat. A new mudroom entry and expanded laundry area are located off the fully renovated kitchen, while the sunny family room boasts a custom entertainment center, wet bar and direct access to new outdoor living space.

• Harbour Towne Construction, Inc. (home in Dunwoody) – The home had a large, unfinished basement that was ideal for transformation into a multi-functional space. The owners wanted to use the area to entertain family and friends, so Harbour Towne created a home theater with a raised seating platform and acoustic panels; a full-service wet bar with a copper sink, refrigerator, dishwasher, wine chiller and microwave; fully-outfitted exercise room and guest suite with bedroom, walk-in closet and bathroom.

• Master Home Remodelers (home in Roswell) – The owner of this Roswell home is a professional interior designer, who wanted her kitchen to boast timeless, classical design. The renovated kitchen now features Linen color painted, furniture quality beaded inset cabinetry, Calcutta Gold marble countertops with a marble backsplash, a three-inch thick mitered island countertop, fully integrated appliances with matching panels and state-of-the-art-interior accessories. The stately wood hood over the range top, along with brass side sconces create a unique focal point. This beautiful kitchen mixes chrome and brass fixtures, varying countertop heights, dark stained wood floors and light painted walls to create a perfect balance of symmetry, textures and color.

• Oneida Builders (home in Dunwoody) – This kitchen renovation focuses on mindful design that functions efficiently for the homeowners. Oneida Builders and Mast Cabinetry collaborated to blend visual texture with clean, modern simplicity. The blacksplash was inspired by Italian mosaics and is a custom radiant blend of glass tile. The space features a unique, U-shaped island, a custom heat-resistant wall cabinet to house a TV above the cook top, a relaxing coffee bar and a full bar with a baby grand piano. To create a more open feel to the kitchen/entertaining area, a large fixed glass window was installed overlooking a beautiful new deck.

• Bonus Location: Dove Studio Kitchen & Bath, 1570 Holcomb Bridge Rd., #740, Roswell, GA 30076. Dove Studio will open its doors to Tour ticket holders the day of the Tour and will offer indoor and outdoor cooking demonstrations and food tastings every half-hour.
