New Year Projects at PL Lyons
We at PL Lyons are extremely grateful for the relationships we’ve made over the past years. We appreciate each and every project we’ve been able to be a part of and we’re looking forward to a great 2012!
We’re wrapping up 2011 having just completed a new home in Shakes Run Subdivision, six bath/kitchen remodels, three basement finishes, three sun room additions, three commercial office build out/renovations, several entry door and window replacement installations, and several other major types of renovations.
Currently we are carrying over into 2012 an addition for A Winning Smile Dental Center located in the Highview/Okolona area, just broke ground on a custom home in Shepherdsville, a contract to build a custom home in Finchville, and working on two more custom contract houses, along with some remodel projects to start.
We look forward to a great 2012 as we continue to design/build new custom homes, design/build basement finishes, decks, sun rooms, and almost any type of renovation—residential or commercial—in Louisville Metro and surrounding counties.
If your 2012 plans involve a new home, residential remodel, commercial build out or remodel, basement finish, or other property improvements; contact us for an estimate.
Wishing you a healthy and prosperous 2012.

PL Lyons has recently broke ground on a new commercial construction project for A Winning Smile Dental Center. The process actually started about a year ago, but we were challenged somewhat with different zoning regulations and stipulations.
We’ve worked hard to get everything squared away and we now officially have the building permits in hand. The pictures and video below show the initial demolition that took place as well as where the actual new addition will stand.
Stay tuned as we document the progress of this job up to its finishing stages. We look forward to working with Dr. Witte as he expands his practice to better serve his patients.

Staying busy: a list of our current projects
If you follow me on Twitter, you know I tweet out a lot of industry information like housing starts, mortgage rate information, real estate statistics, and much more. Sometimes you may get a bleak outlook from those tweets. Although things aren’t exactly rosy, we do have several proverbial “irons in the fire.” We’re always looking for more though. If you’d like to build a new house, a Homearama contract, or look into a remodeling project, we’re here to help.
In the meantime, we thought we’d update you on a few of the current and future projects we have going. If nothing more, this should give you hope for a brighter day. Recently, Dave Ramsey, financial author and speaker, tweeted out that hope is the one thing no one can take away from us.
We’re currently:
- Finishing a custom basement remodel in Oldham County, which includes a bathroom, fireplace, media room, family room, laundry room
- Finishing a basement in English Station which includes a media room, hobby room, family room, and bathroom
- Working on a custom room addition in Plainview—this is an all-weather type sunroom
- Preparing to start a custom contract home we’ve signed in Shelby County on a 14 acre farm
- Finishing a custom basement with a media room, family room, and bathroom in Jtown
- Finishing a custom master bathroom remodel in Jtown
- Covered deck with enclosed custom screening in Jtown
- Beginning a commercial dental office addition and renovation—with this job we had a 13 month rezoning process
- Finishing master bathroom and bedroom remodel in Douglas Hills
- Finished a custom home in Shakes Run
- We’re bidding three custom contract homes
- We’re bidding another commercial build-out
Custom sun room and deck in East Louisville
We’ve shared a couple of videos before on this project in Winchester Acres in east Louisville. The sun room is now complete and the homeowners have done a nice job with the finishing details.
The second video shows the deck we completed for the homeowners a while back. It’s a Trex product and nicely connects to the sun room.
We’re always excited and honored to work with repeat customers. If you have a custom building or remodeling question or are thinking about starting a project, contact us. We’d love to work with you on your next building or remodeling job.

Covered porch addition
I wanted to share a covered porch addition we recently completed on a custom home we built. The buyers of the home called us back to add on a screened-in porch. We posted the complete process on our Flickr account so you can see the progression from start to finish.
After the planning process and the finalizing of the quote, we started and finished this project in about five weeks. Some of our product had to be ordered from the factory so we would have no seams in the porch floor. This cost us a little time, but the end product was worth it.
Our homeowners were very satisfied with the porch when completed. They now enjoy the sunshine much more, as the “rays” don’t bake them and the rain doesn’t soak them when enjoying the outdoors.
Below is a sneak peek of the before and after. Visit our Flicker page for everything in between. If you’re thinking about adding on to your house or just adding on a porch, get in touch with us. We’d love to start a conversation about how we could help.

Custom Craftsman Ranch Home
Well it’s been a big part of our life for the last 6 to 8 months. We’re proud of it and wanted to show it off a bit. We’ve also used these two videos (Part 1 and Part 2) to educate potential customers about our process and our true custom experience. We take you from “Concept to Completion” and really make a friend in the process.
The homeowners of this beautiful custom craftsman ranch home have offered to share a testimonial in the near future. So be on the lookout for that as well.
If you’re interested in turning your dream on a cocktail napkin or set of generic plans into a custom home in 6-8 months, within budget, then contact us today for a free initial consultation.

We shot a video of a recent custom contract home we began in early November. Things are moving right along. Apologies for the shakiness in the beginning of the video it was very unlevel ground- at least that’s the excuse we’re using. 
We discuss a few of the standards on all P.L. Lyons custom homes like house wrap and Rub R Wall basement waterproofing system.
More shots to come from our custom kitchen remodel and our commercial buildout we started in November.
