Introduction to our Shop

by Steven Hershberger | Apr 6, 2012
One of the aspects that sets Four Brothers apart from our competition, is the ease with which our designers can incorporate unique and custom cabinetry into their designs. They are not stuck in the box of using standard sizes. This is possible because in addition to our five remodeling crews, we have a full-time cabinet maker who builds, finishes, and delivers these i...

Upper Marlboro Kitchen Design & Remodeling Contractors

Upper Marlboro Kitchen Design & Remodeling Contractors

by Steven Hershberger | Sep 25, 2011
One of the first and most important things to consider in a kitchen design is the layout. This focus on functionality ensures that the kitchen is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also convenient for everyday use. In the Upper Marlboro kitchen, we wanted to maintain roughly the same layout as the existing kitchen, with the sink underneath the window, and an island ...
Washington DC Living Room Design & Remodeling Contractors

Washington DC Living Room Design & Remodeling Contractors

by Steven Hershberger | Sep 10, 2011
The Fairmont living room was designed with entertaining in mind. This theme called for a largely open floor plan that provides a close connection to the kitchen. In place of a structural wall, we used a salvaged oak post and beam to shore up the floor above. Aside from being structural, this post and beam also serves to break up the large expanse of ceiling and draws ...

Washington DC Master Bath Design & Remodeling Contractors

by Steven Hershberger | Sep 4, 2011
The master bath was a design challenge due to the relatively small size, and the fact that we needed to fit in closet space as well as a functional bathroom. Rather than squeezing in a bathtub, we decided to stick with a walk in shower. A floating vanity is designed to allow the eye to see the floor extend all the way to the wall, giving a feeling of spaciousness and ...

Washington DC Kitchen Cabinetry and Countertop Design & Remodeling Contractors

by Steven Hershberger | Aug 24, 2011
The all-important kitchen was even more so in 753 Fairmont St. Because of the open floor plan it was designed to be an anchoring element for the entire front room without becoming overpowering or ostentatious. To accomplish this, we chose a contemporary flush slab door style for the main cabinetry in a dark stained oak finish. Even the dishwasher has a matching panel....
Washington DC Powder Bath Design & Remodeling Contractors

Washington DC Powder Bath Design & Remodeling Contractors

by Steven Hershberger | May 1, 2011
Our client had very specific instructions for our design team for the lower-level powder bathroom: “Design and build a space that inspires conversation.” Initially this seemed like a strange request, but it began to make sense as our client explained her motivations further. Being a big entertainer, the powder bath (located adjacent to the kitchen towards the back of ...
Washington DC Guest Bath Tile and Design & Renovation Contractors

Washington DC Guest Bath Tile and Design & Renovation Contractors

by Steven Hershberger | Mar 24, 2011
One of the distinct advantages of the design/build model is that most, if not all of your design is done in-house. This means that projects are designed with the end goal in mind: a beautiful space that is both buildable and functional. It’s easy to design something that is functional in theory and extravagant on paper but ultimately, is impractical and impossible to ...
Washington DC Shower Pan and Waterproofing Contractors

Washington DC Shower Pan and Waterproofing Contractors

by Steven Hershberger | Jan 28, 2011
Constructing a water-tight shower pan and drain is an art, but is arguably the most important step when installing a tiled shower during a bathroom renovation. Grout joints between tiles are not watertight, so water will inevitably leak through these joints to the shower pan below. Therefore, the shower pan must have a system whereby leaking water is channeled into th...

Washington DC Curb-less Shower Renovation Contractors

by Steven Hershberger | Jan 24, 2011
Designing accessible master bathrooms on both the first and second floors at 753 was of particular importance to our clients as they have an elderly in-law who is confined to a wheelchair. Therefore, our design team recommended curb-less showers for both master bathrooms. One of the main concerns with a curb-less shower is controlling water flow and splashing. When de...
