CabCo Design and Renovation -From Dark to Bright: How New Windows & LVP Flooring Transformed This Birnam Woods Home

Every home has a story. Some just need the right updates to let their best features shine through. That was the case with this beautiful brick ranch in the established Birnam Woods community. What was once a dim and dated interior is now a bright, modern, and welcoming home, thanks to the addition of new windows and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring.

When our team at CABCO first toured the property, it was clear that this home had great bones—spacious rooms, a functional floor plan, and plenty of charm. But the interiors told another story:

Closed-in and muted: The old windows restricted natural light, leaving the living areas feeling smaller and less inviting than they truly were.
Tired flooring: The outdated floors not only shadowed the space further but also lacked the durability and style today’s homeowners want.
Missed opportunity: Without the right finishes, the home wasn’t living up to its full potential.

Before: A Home with Potential

The Transformation: Windows + Flooring = Instant Refresh

With a thoughtful renovation plan, our team focused on the updates that would make the biggest impact.

✅ Brand-New Windows
Replacing the outdated windows was the first step. The new design allows sunlight to flood into the living areas, instantly opening up the home. Beyond aesthetics, the windows also improved energy efficiency—a win for both comfort and long-term savings.

✅ Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Flooring
Next came the flooring. By installing LVP throughout the main living area, we introduced a clean, modern, and cohesive look. This flooring is not only stylish but also scratch-resistant, easy to maintain, and durable, making it perfect for families and entertaining.

The challenge? Create a brighter, more inviting space while keeping the home’s character intact.

THE BEFORE

The result is nothing short of remarkable. The once-shadowed rooms now feel spacious, light-filled, and welcoming. The crisp flooring reflects natural light beautifully, creating a fresh canvas for any style of décor.

Open + Airy Atmosphere: Natural light highlights every corner, making the home feel larger.
Modern Appeal: The LVP brings a sleek, updated look that balances warmth with style.
Everyday Comfort: Together, the windows and flooring create a home that’s not just beautiful, but also practical for daily living.

AFTER: A bright, inviting home

Final Thoughts

This Birnam Woods transformation is a perfect example of how targeted renovations can turn a good home into a great one. By focusing on light, flooring, and flow, we created a space that’s ready for its next chapter.

At CABCO, we believe every home has hidden potential—and with the right updates, that potential can shine brighter than ever.

✨ From dim to dazzling, this Birnam Woods beauty is proof that small changes can make a big difference.
