A couple found Shirey Home Pro from a custom home contractor who could not take on their project. They wanted a “She Shed” for the wife to have a place to do her artwork and pottery year-round.

Recently, we were working with an elevator company on a remodel project. The elevator company mentioned that they had two other clients in desperate need of a contractor. The clients needed to build a space for their elevators and help install them.
One client was referred to Shirey Home Pro by a trusted acquaintance. The client needed a section of siding repaired. The damage appeared to have been caused by water intrusion. Shirey Home Pro reviewed the area, pulled off the siding, and found water damage caused by improper waterproofing around a shower. It was clear that, over the years, water had slowly leaked around the shower until it had reached the outside of the home, where it became noticeable to the eye. Shirey removed the siding, reframed the walls, installed proper waterproof backing, and installed new siding.

Remodeling is always an exciting prospect. In all the excitement, it's easy to make choices that turn out to be mistakes. Here are some of the biggest and most common mistakes people make in home remodels.
We recently finished a repair and replaced a significantly damaged deck on a 50+-year-old home.
Remodeling is a team effort, and now that we’re officially “teammates” on your remodeling project, we thought it would be helpful to everyone involved to have a clear understanding of their roles, responsibilities, and of the remodeling process. We have no intention of becoming a permanent houseguest in your home!
We all love watching the home remodeling shows on TV. Throw a cute couple or family that needs an updated house on the screen, and we’re watching. Remodeling shows are heartwarming, dramatic, and inspiring for your own home. However, when you remodel your own home, it’s not like the TV shows. Here’s why
As a full-service remodeling contractor who believes in the design-build process, I find it interesting when homeowners tell me they don’t need design. As the owner of Shirey Home Pro, I have made this mistake on a few smaller remodel projects, and each time I regretted that decision.
To start the project, to protect the expansive, open-concept home, we installed dust protection. We laid down low-residue protection mats onto the existing walnut flooring. Then, we saved the lower section of the existing stairs for the children to get back to their bedrooms by allowing them to slide in and out of place.
