Kenny's photos, moving — a short film made from the job archive

First, watch it transform

Before — the same basement, as found. The finished room is the still above; with motion on, your scroll plays the whole sequence.
It didn't start like this

The basement as the crew found it — bare concrete, stored boxes, good bones. Every frame in this sequence is Kenny's own photo, taken on the job.

Watch the finished room take over

Same basement, finished. The wipe is our edit — the rooms on both sides of it are real, and labelled in the stills below.

One standard, room after room

The grey-shaker kitchen. The master bath. Different houses, the same finish — this is the work the rest of the page proves.

What 8:28 builds

Remodeling,
first.

The headline is the home: kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and whole-house remodels — fixed-scope proposals, documented milestones, and the owner on site. The ground crews below them are ours too, when a job needs them.

01 / REMODELING — THE CORE

The craft the reviews are about

Selections and a fixed-scope proposal before demolition; milestones documented as the build moves; Kenny — the owner — on site and reachable. Four crafts, one standard:

Kitchen RemodelingLayouts, cabinetry, and lighting engineered for daily life — not showroom theatrics.→Bathroom RemodelingSpa-calm wet rooms and precise tile work with waterproofing that lasts.→Basement FinishingTurn unused square footage into suites, media rooms, and family zones.→Whole-House RemodelsCoordinated renovations that unify structure, finishes, and flow.→

02 / EXCAVATION + CONCRETE

Digging, drainage, grading & pours

Machine and crew on site, trenches and forms, finished surfaces that hold — the groundwork under the remodel, and a trade in its own right.

The 8:28 Method

The room, drawn firstEvery 828 job starts as lines on paper — scroll, and it goes up

The room, on paper first

Drawn the way Kenny draws it

Before a single stud moves, the room exists as lines: floor, walls, openings, the fireplace, the light. This drawing is in the same line language as the elevations on Kenny's crew shirts — and it assembles the way the method runs: measure, draw, then build. The four steps below are that drawing, carried out in your house.

01

Consult

Walk the home, map constraints, and align on how you actually live.

02

Design

Selections, drawings, and a fixed-scope proposal before demolition.

03

Qualified trades, documented milestones, and a clean jobsite standard.

The film — a real 828 customer

Hear it from a customer

8:28 · The tour — scroll plays the film
First stop: movie night

A row of theater recliners facing the big screen — the room this basement was always meant to have.

Then the full bath

A marble shower and a real vanity — the bathroom the basement never had, built into the plan.

Last stop: the dry bar

Cabinets, a wine fridge, counter to pour on — made for having people over. Her verdict on all of it plays below, in her own words.

The finished basement, toured by your scroll — theater seats, the full bath, the dry bar — filmed in the room itself.

The tour above is 8 seconds of the film, played by your scroll — seats, bath, bar, all in the basement 828 finished. The whole story — all 81 seconds, with sound, in the homeowner's own words — plays below, hosted right here.

From the same film

Five seconds of the film, on loop — the speaker detail, the media wall, the office corner. The same finished basement as the hero photograph at the top of this page.

The full testimonial

All 81 seconds, start to finish — how the build felt from the homeowner's side of it, in her own words, with the finished basement around her. Filmed by George Lambriodes in the room itself; hosted here, like everything else on this page.

Imagery labelled “Reference imagery” appears only where Kenny's archive holds no real photo of that work yet, and it is labelled every time it renders. Project photography is Kenny's own job archive. Reviews are published Google reviews, reproduced word for word. Diagram art is drawn, not photographed, and is labelled as art.
