Waldo · Kansas City, MO
A craftsman bungalow’s original woodwork carefully cut around, with walls freshened and damaged plaster repaired to keep the home’s character intact.
Before / after shown as placeholder blocks for this demonstration build — a client swaps these for real project photos. The gallery structure (fixed dimensions, native lazy-load, no JS) stays the same. We never use stock photography.
The scope
This Waldo bungalow had beautiful original stained woodwork the owners wanted to keep, surrounded by walls that had gone dull and plaster that had cracked with the house settling. The tricky part is the cut lines — clean, hand-cut edges where fresh wall paint meets stained trim, with no bleed onto the woodwork. We repaired and skim-coated the plaster, protected every piece of trim, and repainted the walls and ceilings in a palette that made the original wood pop. Careful, patient work on an older home that deserved it.
