Restoring Elegance: A Hancock Park Bathrooms and Family Room Remodel Success Story

Step into the charm of Hancock Park/Larchmont, where a Spanish Revival home from the 1920s recently underwent a stunning transformation. The story begins with a vision to undo the less-than-charming '90s updates left by previous owners. The task at hand: a complete overhaul of three bathrooms and the family room. Mike Ross & Co., from our design-build firm, Addition Building and Design, took on the challenge, bringing expertise, dedication, and a touch of creativity to breathe new life into this historical gem. Maggie M, the homeowner, shares her experience of the transformative journey.


Rescuing a Spanish Revival Gem:

Maggie M and her family acquired a piece of history, a 1920s Spanish Revival home in Hancock Park/Larchmont. However, the previous owners' '90s updates had left the residence in a less-than-ideal state. Bad wallpaper, failed walls, and Home Depot bathrooms marred the home's inherent charm. Mike Ross & Co. stepped in promptly, with Mike himself leading the charge at 8 am the day after the escrow closed.


Craftsmanship in Action:

The team, known for its expertise and commitment, immediately set to work. Politeness, cleanliness, and utmost respect characterized every member of Mike's crew. Their dedication to restoring the home to its original glory was evident from the outset. The 1920s Spanish Revival architecture demanded a delicate touch, and Mike Ross & Co. rose to the occasion with precision and care.


Fairness in Every Aspect:

Maggie M emphasizes that Mike Ross & Co. demonstrated fairness in every aspect of the project. From the initial assessment to unforeseen change orders – such as the unexpected wall revelation after tearing down wallpaper – Mike ensured transparency and fairness. Creative solutions were employed to stretch the budget without compromising on quality or aesthetics.


Responsive and Reliable:

The hallmark of a reliable contractor lies in their responsiveness to client concerns. Maggie M attests to Mike's commitment to client satisfaction. Any aspect that did not meet her expectations was immediately addressed and rectified. Mike Ross & Co. proved to be not just reliable but also responsive, ensuring that Maggie's vision for her home was brought to life seamlessly.
