This kitchen is part of a remodeling project that won Hinman Construction an award.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

by Andrea Harwood Palmer<\/p>\n

Hinman Construction of Saratoga Springs won the Best Overall Remodel category in the 2020 Capital Region Builders & Remodelers Association building awards.<\/p>\n

The project is located at 41 Webster St. in Saratoga Springs. The single-family home was built in 1918 and purchased in 2018 by new owners Brynya and Derek Ablamsky.<\/p>\n

Kim Hinman said the construction company worked with the new owners for over a year developing renovation plans. Hinman used 3D photorealistic CAD design for the project.<\/p>\n

The entire house is black and white, including stair rails, kitchen, bathrooms and interior and exterior paint. The exterior is stucco. Hinman Construction hired a mason to extend the original cobblestone fireplace up through the second floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI challenge anyone to look at the cobblestone fireplace and find where the old one ends and the new addition begins,\u201d said Hinman.<\/p>\n

She said the timing of the project was very fortuitous. The Certificate of Occupancy was issued by the city building department the last day they were open before the COVID shutdowns in 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe property is about two blocks from the racetrack. It was purchased by a wonderful young couple who moved here from Boston. They just knew that\u2019s what they wanted to do with the home. They bought what I would call a four-square home. We basically brought it into the 21st century,\u201d said Hinman.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Hinman Construction removed the existing second floor and rebuilt it, building a master bedroom suite with a loft. The room adjacent to the master bedroom offers a view down to the first floor entryway. The first floor was completely renovated. The kitchen was modernized with a modern farmhouse theme.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one pillar under the staircase is about the only thing left on the first floor. We completely gutted the rest,\u201d said Hinman.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt definitely had its challenges, as everything does,\u201d said Hinman. \u201cWe originally thought some of the existing infrastructure could remain, for example the existing baseboard hot water heating system and certain exterior walls. As you get into a project, sometimes you realize it\u2019s more cost effective to replace something than to try and repair or tie into it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe homeowners just love it. We get together now for happy hour. They were a great couple to work with, with clear and open lines of communication,\u201d said Hinman.<\/span><\/p>\n

Homeowner Brynya Ablamsky said in her Houzz review, \u201cHinman Construction was the clear cut choice. Kim and Jami saw our vision from the very beginning and became trusted partners as the design and details evolved. It was a true collaboration from design, budget, and schedule, to permitting, zoning variances, and neighborhood dynamics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hinman Construction has won other awards in the past, including the 2019 Master Design GOLD Award for an Entryway and Laundry Redo project they completed in Clifton Park; the\u00a0Bronze Award\u00a0for their project in the\u00a0Outdoor Living Under $100,000\u00a0category in the 2015\u00a0Professional Remodeler\u00a0Design Awards; the annual\u00a0Professional <\/span>Remodeler\u00a0Design Awards contest, presented by\u00a0Professional Remodeler<\/i>\u00a0magazine; the Bronze Award in the Kitchen $50,000 \u2013 $100,000 category; the 2013 Angie\u2019s List Super Service Award Saratoga County; and the Best of Houzz five years running, from 2014 to 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe key to the success of any remodeling project is doing your homework upfront. We do two contracts\u2014first, the design and planning. Second, the actual construction. By doing it that way, you have a very clear road map to follow during renovations. It\u2019s more than just blueprints. The visuals make such a difference,\u201d said Hinman.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re small. This was a big project for us. There were some pretty unique things that took place during construction. Because of my husband\u2019s experience in the industry, he knew how to address the situations. That was instrumental in the success of this project,\u201d said Hinman. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a family business\u2014myself and my husband Jami, our son Jesse and our daughter Caroline. We\u2019ve been doing this for 30 years. Both of our kids got their high-end business degrees before coming home and deciding to work in the family business,\u201d said Hinman.<\/span><\/p>\n
