Timeless Family Home

Renovating a Childhood Home to make it your own.

It’s been said that “you can’t go home again”, but depending on your definition of “home”, that’s exactly what our client was able to do in this very special total home renovation in Greater Saratoga, NY.

 

This renovation transformed a cherished childhood home into a modern, open, and welcoming space tailored for today’s family living. We expanded the front porch out, absorbing the existing one to become part of the family room. 

By opening the vaulted ceiling and removing the wall between the former kitchen and family room, the space now feels significantly larger, brighter, and more open. We moved what was the main staircase to the basement, in order to better maximize the interior space. We were able to utilize a secondary basement staircase from the front entry and guest room to maintain functional access to the newly remodeled basement.

This project essentially touched every corner of the existing house, so we worked very closely alongside the architects to ensure there would be no structural issues when removing walls or opening ceilings.

The overall transformation to take the home from our client’s parents’ aesthetic to her own is truly amazing. We created faux box beams at the living room ceiling, which are a cost effective way to create the look of a structural solid beam. We also were able to integrate her functional and spatial goals for each area within a relatively small footprint, while ensuring that this would be a home she could enjoy safely for the rest of her life. The bathrooms, kitchen and living areas were all designed with aging in mind. 

Whole Home Renovation

The result?

This whole-home renovation in the Greater Saratoga, NY  revitalized a beloved childhood home with a more open layout, improved natural light, and modern finishes. Strategic design and expert construction created better flow between living spaces while preserving the charm and character of the original home.

Building an Oasis

An Oasis Designed for Gathering

Our homes are often a reflection of our values, and how we hope to spend our time. For clients who love to entertain and host large gatherings filled with food, friends, and fun in the sun, this Project Spotlight will serve as a major inspiration.

Our clients wanted their home to be an oasis for hosting friends and family. That meant upgrades to the kitchen and dining room, to improve functionality for both cooking and entertaining. The large island, top of the range appliances, and bountiful storage provided by our custom cabinetry make it a dream kitchen to work in, alone or with many sous chefs at hand. The coffered ceilings in the dining room create a classic look with an open and inviting feel. The additional cabinetry and countertop match the selections in the kitchen, and provide storage and workspace, as well as a cohesive aesthetic.

We also transformed a screened-in porch into a three season room, making it suitable for additional months of use throughout the year. The views of the picturesque property through the new windows and the wet bar make it an ideal spot to hang out and relax with guests.

The clients’ outdoor property is truly enhanced by the new decking and sleek modern railings, which will stand up to tough upstate weather conditions. To maximize their enjoyment of their beautiful pool, we constructed a free-standing building with room for changing in and out of swimsuits, and storing pool supplies. Our clients worked with Brookside Nursery for their elegant landscaping and patio enhancements, and a local pool company to complete the upgrades to their outdoor space.

The Kitchen is the Heart of the Home

The Kitchen is the Heart of the Home

A family-centered kitchen designed to support generations of use, honoring long-standing traditions while adapting to the needs of modern family living.

Schrader and Company invites you to take a look inside a truly special home remodel in Saratoga, New York. For this project, our goal was to thoughtfully honor the home’s long-standing family history while carefully updating the space to meet the needs of modern living.

They say kitchens are the heart of the home, but this one holds a special place in the lives of a beloved local family. More than just a place to cook, this kitchen is where traditions are kept alive, stories are shared, and memories are made day after day.

The kitchen takes on an even more meaningful role, transforming into a secondary workspace. With countertops in constant use and the room filled with the comforting aromas of family recipes, the space supports both everyday living and the rhythms of a long-standing tradition. Designed to handle high-volume prep while still feeling warm and welcoming, this kitchen proves that thoughtful design can support real life. 

This project included the remodel of our clients’ kitchen, first floor bathroom, laundry room, family room, and the primary bedroom on the second floor. The homeowners were ready to update the décor and also create more kitchen space for better functionality during family gatherings.

We partnered with an architect to consult on the structural changes involved in the project, particularly for the removal of the bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room.

The transformation is nothing short of spectacular, and our clients are absolutely thrilled with the end result.
