Discover our newest bathroom remodel! We couldn’t be more excited to unveil this spectacular transformation. Our team bid farewell to the oversized bathtub, making space for a sophisticated freestanding tub, complemented by a spacious walk-in shower featuring a convenient bench. The tile work received a modern overhaul, now showcasing sleek ceramic across the shower walls, tub surround, and bathroom floor.
Choosing blue cabinets over conventional white or neutral tones was a strategic move, adding a touch of timeless allure while injecting the space with character and vibrancy. The end result? A high-end bathroom remodel that transcends trends, offering both style and functionality in equal measure, courtesy of our skilled team.
This bathroom remodel in Virginia Beach goes beyond mere renovation; it embodies the transformative potential of design. It’s more than just updating a space—it’s about crafting an experience. Our aim is to fashion a bathroom that not only fulfills its practical function but also becomes a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Step into the heart of Norfolk, and you’ll find more than just a kitchen remodel—it’s a symphony of design and functionality. Our latest project was not just about renovating a space; it was about redefining the way our client interacts with their home.
Gone are the days of feeling isolated in the kitchen; we made sure of that. By dismantling a wall, we seamlessly integrated the kitchen with the dining area, fostering an environment where conversations dance alongside culinary creations. No longer confined to the periphery of social gatherings, meal prep becomes a communal affair, where every chop and stir is accompanied by laughter and shared moments.
And then there’s the green cabinetry—vibrant, invigorating, and oh-so-lush. The choice of green cabinetry wasn’t arbitrary; it was intentional. It breathes life into the space, infusing it with a sense of freshness and vitality. As light pours in through the windows, the green hues come alive, captivating all who enter.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. Every element, from the sleek quartz countertops to the contemporary gold hardware, was thoughtfully selected to harmonize with the overall design. Even the installation of white oak hardwood, executed by our expert team at Carpet Hut by McDrake, contributes to the cohesive tone that permeates the entire home.
In essence, this remodel transcends mere renovation—it’s a testament to the power of design to transform not just spaces, but experiences. It’s about creating a kitchen that not only serves its practical purpose but also serves as a canvas for culinary creativity and social connection.
So, as you explore our latest project, let it inspire you to reimagine your own kitchen space. Because in the end, it’s not just about what a kitchen looks like—it’s about the stories it holds and the memories it helps create.

When it comes to enhancing your living space, understanding the nuances between renovation and remodeling is crucial. At McDrake Remodeling, we are committed to guiding you through this distinction to ensure your home improvement project is a resounding success.
Choosing between renovation and remodeling is more than a matter of semantics; it’s about accurately conveying the scope of your vision to our expert team. Though these terms are often used interchangeably, at McDrake Remodeling, we recognize the difference they bring to the table.
In essence, renovation involves revitalizing existing elements to achieve a fresh look and feel. Contrastingly, remodeling at McDrake is about transforming the old into something entirely new. The key lies in your project’s objective – if you are aiming to enhance your space with new finishes and fixtures, you are opting for a renovation. However, if structural changes like removing walls, altering floor plans, or adding exra spaces are on the agenda, you are embarking on a remodeling journey with McDrake.
Renovation, according to McDrake Remodeling, is a process of updating a home’s aesthetics while preserving its layout and structure. What sets it apart is it’s DIY-friendly nature, with tasks like painting, floor installation, and cabinet refacing accessible event to beginners. Renovation at McDrake often bypasses permit requirements, making it an efficient and cost-effective choice in line with local building codes.
Remodeling with McDrake encopasses more extensive projects involving property restructuring. Tasks like expanding the kitchen, adding a bathroom, or construction additional spaces fall under the remodeling umbrella. Major undertakings, including relocating infrastructure and acquiring permits, demand professional expertise and collaboration with local authorites.
Cost and value considerations further distinguish McDrake Renovation from McDrake Remodeling. Renovating with McDrake generally incurs lower costs, focusing on aesthetic enhancements rather than structural changes. The latter often involves hidden expenses, as structural alterations may reveal the need for rerouting essential elements, accompanied by potential load-bearing wall replacements.
Due to the higher investment in remodeling, renovations at McDrake typically boast a higher return on investment (ROI). Renovated homes, appearing updated and move-in ready, attract buyers more effectively than remodeled counterparts that demand additional financial commitments.
At McDrake Remodeling, we understand that whether opting for a renovation or a contractor-reliant remodel, understanding the nuances between renovation and remodeling ensures informed decision-making for a successful home improvement venture.

In recent times, the prevalence of multigenerational households has notably increased. Older adults are increasingly opting to live with their adult children, who in turn are either extending their stay at home or returning post-college.
Embracing the concept of multigenerational living holds promising advantages for numerous families. An array of innovative home addition concepts exists, aimed at enhancing the allure of multigenerational arrangements. By selecting a fitting home addition approach, the goal is to create an environment where each individual enjoys the necessary privacy and personal space for their optimal well-being amidst shared living.
Crafting an accommodating mother-in-law suite presents an ideal avenue for ensuring your elderly family members reside nearby, facilitating regular check-ins and visits, all while upholding their autonomy. Typically encompassing a private entrance, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, akin to a compact apartment, this suite can either be integrated as an extension to your existing home or erected as an independent structure on the same property. Often situated on ground level, this arrangement caters to mobility by circumventing the necessity of stairs.
When contemplating ways to accommodate adult children returning home after completing their college journey, the prospect of renovating or adding onto your home emerges as a viable solution. With a growing trend among young adults to reside at their parental abode post-graduation, as a strategic measure to accrue funds for their future home purchase, the concept gains traction. Should the notion of a home addition for your adult child resonate, several avenues can be explored:
1. Extending Outward: Explore the option of constructing a home addition to augment living quarters.
2. Basement Transformation: Reimagine the basement by converting it into functional living space through remodeling efforts.
3. Vertical Expansion: Repurpose the attic or embark on constructing an additional floor above to amplify available area.
4. Elevated Garage: Delve into the possibility of erecting an overlying garage space.
It’s essential to deliberate upon the level of privacy and spatial requirements, as well as the potential sharing of kitchen and bathroom facilities, to tailor the addition according to your family’s specific needs.
Perhaps you find yourself fortunate enough to have your grandchildren residing with you or entrusted with their care while your adult children are occupied with work commitments. If the idea of pampering your grandchildren resonates with you, what better way to achieve it than by crafting a dedicated playroom? The existing space beneath your residence can undergo a revitalizing transformation, yielding a captivating area for children to frolic. Alternatively, a streamlined one-room home extension could be tailored for this venture.
Moreover, if your household embraces several generations seeking to coexist harmoniously under one roof, explore the realm of multigenerational home addition concepts. These innovations can significantly enhance comfort and contentment for all occupants. By embracing home additions conducive to accommodating extended families, you stand to not only economize on expenses related to rent, assisted living facilities, and childcare, but also elevate the overall value of your property. We are at your service to deliberate upon your multigenerational housing requirements, and collaboratively unearth the optimal solution tailored to your residence and unique circumstances.
Reach out to McDrake Remodeling today to embark on a journey of exploring innovative multigenerational home addition ideas.
As 2023 unfolds, homeowners and interior enthusiasts are eager to explore the latest flooring trends that can transform their living spaces into stylish havens. At Carpet Hut, we’ve curated an exceptional collection that showcases the top flooring trends of the year from trusted brands like Shaw, Mannington, Masland, Mohawk and more. From timeless classics to modern innovations, let’s dive into the exciting flooring options that continue to define the aesthetic landscape of 2023.
In an era where we seek solace in the natural world, flooring designs that mimic nature’s beauty are gaining immense popularity. Wood-look vinyl and laminate flooring continue to be in high demand, offering the warmth and authenticity of hardwood without the associated maintenance. Organic patterns and earthy tones, such as oak, walnut, and ash, remain timeless choices that seamlessly blend with any interior style.
With sustainability taking center stage, eco-friendly flooring options are a top priority for many homeowners. 2023 sees a rise in sustainable materials like bamboo, cork, reclaimed wood, and carpet made from recycled content. These choices not only add a touch of uniqueness to your floors but also promote environmental responsibility. Recycled carpet, like EverStrand by Mohawk Florring, and carpets made from natural fibers are also excellent options for those looking to minimize their carbon footprint.
EverStrand by Mohawk Flooring is the most sustainable carpet option for your home. Advanced soil and stain protection makes it easy to clean. And, because it’s made from up to 100% recycled content using Mohawk’s innovative Continuum™ process, it’s the world’s most sustainable carpet. Shop all Mohawk Flooring options at our Virginia Beach flooring and design showroom located at 5719 Arrowhead Dr., Virginia Beach, Va 23462.
For those seeking to make a statement, bold patterns and textures are the go-to trend for 2023. Geometric patterns, chevron designs, and intricate motifs are increasingly adorning floors, adding a touch of personality and visual interest. Moreover, textured carpets, with their depth and dimension, create a luxurious and inviting atmosphere that elevates any room’s ambiance.
Practicality meets style with the growing popularity of waterproof flooring options. Perfect for high-moisture areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, waterproof vinyl, laminate, and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) offer the best of both worlds. These durable and water-resistant options come in a wide range of designs, ensuring that you don’t have to compromise on aesthetics while prioritizing functionality.
While hardwood and tile floors have their charm, carpets continue to hold their ground as a luxurious and cozy flooring choice. In 2023, statement carpets take center stage, offering a burst of color, texture, and personality. From vibrant patterns to plush textures, these carpets become a focal point, adding warmth and character to any room. Whether it’s a bold area rug or wall-to-wall carpeting, the right statement carpet can transform your space into a work of art.
2023 has brought an exciting array of flooring trends that cater to diverse tastes and preferences. At Carpet Hut by McDrake, we embrace these trends and offer a collection that combines timeless elegance with modern innovation. From nature-inspired designs to sustainable materials and bold patterns, our flooring options cater to every style and requirement. Visit our showroom and let us help you create a living space that reflects your personality while staying on-trend with the latest flooring styles.
