Project of the Week December 02, 2011 – convert office into Guest Bedroom


(PART 2 of 2 ) We have had several Built-In projects completed by Appleton Renovations each time with 100% satisfaction.  Recently we needed to convert office into Guest Bedroom / Office so we called Ken for some ideas, as always we were blown away by Kens vision! We ended up having a Queen Size Murphy Bed / Custom Cabinet built and a Workstation on the opposite wall.  We simply cant believe it all fit in the room and made the room feel larger than it originally did.

Project of the week November 04, 2011


“We met with other contractors over the course of one year in an effort to have built-Ins done including a Home Theater and were unable to find anyone that could handle both sides of our project, we found cabinet companies but they couldn’t handle the electronics and Home theater companies that couldn’t do the Woodwork… We felt it was important to have both scopes managed at the same time.

We contacted Appleton Renovations for a design consultation and to our surprise they handled a full turn-key solution,  Ken had fresh ideas as to what The Appleton Renovation – Murphy Bed Hardware used in today’s beds is state of the art. It’s a counter-balanced spring system with a lightweight frame which results in finger-tip operation. Whether you’re six or eighty-six you’re able to open and close the bed with ease.

Project of the Week October 21st, 2011


We have had Appleton Renovations do built-Ins in our office and wanted to also
update our old White Kitchen cabinets. We contacted companies that simply did
cabinet re-facing and were surprised as to how expensive they were…($20k) In Speaking with Ken we learned that we could simply Replace the Doors and hardware and add wainscot to our Island to revamp our kitchen at a fraction of the cost… the results are stunning! We SAVED $15,000 by taking Kens Recommendation.

Appleton Renovations is fabulous. They were absolutely excellent & superb. We could not find better people.  The price was a little more than I expected to spend but it was well worth it. We have a 31 year old home and when we bought it, it was a mess. Needless to say there was nothing there, nothing at all. What Appleton Renovations built  makes our home look like a queen’s palace. It is absolutely gorgeous and I could not be happier. Ken came out for a free design consultation and showed us a number of options way beyond our expectation then presented one of the most thorough proposals I have ever seen. Ken did absolutely everything so precise to the letter of law.

We highly recommend Appleton Renovations to all our family & friends!
