Process: Solving Problems That Don’t Show Up on Paper

When you work on a home built in the 1800s, you learn to expect the unexpected.

On a recent project in Avon, the underground utility records weren’t reliable. The files were decades old and didn’t match what was actually in the ground. We coordinated with the town to locate everything before we broke ground, because on a house this old, assumptions get expensive.

Twenty-seven years of working on historic homes in Hendricks County and central Indiana is what makes projects like this possible.

Experience isn’t just knowing how to build. It’s knowing what to look for before you start.

Project Showcase: Brownsburg Addition | Master Suite Reveal

This Brownsburg family needed more space but loved their neighborhood too much to leave.

We added a full master suite: master bath, laundry room, and walk-in closet. Everything they were missing, designed to feel like it was always part of the home.

The morning routine used to be a traffic jam. Now everyone has room to breathe.

We get asked all the time whether an outdoor living space is a good investment.

Here’s the honest answer. If you build a deck or a patio or a pergola and try to sell your house next month, you’re going to be upside down. That’s the truth. You won’t recover all of that money immediately.

But that’s the wrong way to think about it.

If you like your neighborhood, you like the schools, you like your land, and you just wish you had a better space to enjoy that backyard, then build it. Build it now. Because construction costs go up 10 to 15 percent every year. The summers you skip waiting until you can “afford” it? Those don’t come back.

That’s what I call Return on Enjoyment. You build the space. You use it. You make memories in it. And five to ten years from now, the ROI catches up to the ROE. You get both. But only if you actually pull the trigger.

Stop waiting for perfect timing. There is no perfect timing. There’s just this summer, or the next one, or the one after that. And every one of them costs more than the last.

A kitchen remodel isn't just about how it looks. It's about where everything goes.

This is the same Pittsburgh kitchen from Tuesday's post. We removed a structural wall, added a big island, and painted the original perimeter cabinets. But the details inside the cabinets are where this kitchen really comes alive.

The navy island has a pull-out spice rack, vertical dividers for cutting boards and baking sheets, and deep dovetail drawers that hold everything the family actually uses. No more digging through stacked pans to find what you need.

And the entertainment built-in we designed for them? Custom pull-out drawers built specifically for their vinyl collection. Turntable on the counter, records organized and accessible, TV mounted above. It's the most personal piece in the house.

Good design means everything has a place. Great design means you actually enjoy putting it there.

This Pittsboro, IN kitchen was stuck in the 1980s.

The homeowners loved the house but the kitchen layout wasn't working anymore. A structural wall closed everything off, and the space felt smaller than it actually was.

We removed that wall, opened up the kitchen, and installed a big island where the barrier used to be. The original cabinets were solid, so we kept them and gave them a fresh coat of paint. New quartz countertops.

And the piece that makes this kitchen theirs: a custom built-in for their record player and vinyl collection.

Same bones. Completely different feel.

This backyard in Saratoga had grass and a back door. Now it has a room.

Open gable pavilion with exposed truss work overhead, a dark painted ceiling, and a fan to keep the air moving. Dining table seats six under full cover. Built-in entertainment area along the back wall with a mounted TV. Concrete pad tied right into the house with sliding door access, so stepping outside feels like walking into the next room, not leaving the house.

Rain doesn’t end the evening. Sun doesn’t run you inside at 2 PM. The family uses this space from the first warm day in spring through Thanksgiving, and when friends come over, nobody ends up back in the living room.

That’s the whole point. When your backyard is designed like a room, you treat it like one.

Two ways to extend your outdoor season. Same goal, different investment.

A firepit is the entry point. Stone surround, seating around it, open sky above. It’s where your kids roast marshmallows on a Friday night in October and where you sit with a drink after they go to bed. It fits into a patio design without dominating it, and the cost is a fraction of what a fireplace runs. This one in Brownsburg anchors a stamped concrete patio with a dining area, lounge seating, and landscaping that ties it all together.

A fireplace is a commitment. Full stone construction, covered structure overhead, wood ceiling, TV mounted above the mantel. It becomes the centerpiece of the entire outdoor space. You’re not sitting around it. You’re sitting in front of it, under cover, with radiant heat that makes 40-degree evenings feel comfortable. This one sits on the border of Plainfield and Avon under a timber-frame pavilion, and it gets used well past the point most people have gone inside for the year.

Both push your outdoor season in both directions. Spring starts earlier. Fall lasts longer. The question is how you want to spend that time and what makes sense for your backyard.

Three projects. One family. That’s not a marketing strategy. That’s trust.

Jon and his family live in Prestwick, right off the golf course in Avon. They love the location. But the house was stuck in the 1980s. So instead of moving, they called us. Three times.

First, we opened up the galley-style kitchen. Dark cabinetry, granite countertops, glass-front uppers, and a layout that finally lets more than one person be in the room at a time.

Then the master bathroom. Frameless glass shower with marble tile, a skylight overhead, and a space that went from stale to spa.

Then the four-season room. Leather chairs, a view of the pool, and industrial exhaust fans so Mr. Nolan can enjoy his ci**rs year-round without Mrs. Nolan having a word to say about it.

Jon holds the record as BGW’s only “three-peat” for large-scale work. In his words:
“Exceptional craftsmanship, fantastic customer service, and pricing commensurate with the quality of work.”

We don’t take that lightly.

This didn’t start in 2024. It started in 2015.

BGW and Laddscape first worked together at the Belgard Challenge in 2015, and we won. Two companies, different specialties, same standard. That partnership kept going through years of shows, projects, and a mutual respect for how the other team worked.

Along the way, we each kept building. BGW won Best in Show at the Indianapolis Home Show. Laddscape earned the 2023 Garden of Excellence Award from the Indianapolis Landscape Association.

When BGW decided it was time to bring outdoor living fully in-house, we didn’t go looking for the cheapest option. We partnered with the best. Kevin Ladd joined BGW as Director of Operations in 2024, and now every outdoor project we build has landscaping designed into it from the start.

This photo is from the 2025 Flower and Patio Show. That timber-frame pavilion, the paved patio, the landscaping around it? That’s what BGW and Laddscape look like under one roof.

An 1800s farmhouse.

Two original gables that lean toward each other by about 20 degrees. And underground utilities that nobody had accurate records.

This is the kind of project most contractors look at and say, “That’s going to be a problem.”

We looked at it and said, “That’s going to be a puzzle.” And we like puzzles.
The homeowners have taken meticulous care of this place for years. It sits right where Avon, Brownsburg, and Danville meet, and they wanted a four seasons room that looked like it had always been there. Not tacked on. Not an afterthought. Part of the original story.

The challenge was making everything work together when nothing on the back of the house was square. The rooflines had to blend with gables that were never true to begin with. And because of the age of the home, the underground utility records weren’t reliable. We coordinated with the town to locate everything before we broke ground, because on a house this old, assumptions get expensive.

Twenty-seven years of working on historic homes in Hendricks County and central Indiana is what makes a project like this possible. You can’t Google your way through these problems. You solve them with experience, patience, and a team that refuses to cut corners on someone else’s legacy.

The homeowners are thrilled. And honestly, so are we.

Before this project, they had a beautiful old farmhouse with nowhere to sit and enjoy the backyard year-round. Now they do.
