Before & After Transformations Across Westchester
At Casa Cerrada, we buy, renovate, and resell homes throughout Westchester.
Every project is different — some require full gut renovations, others just need smart prep, permits, or design upgrades.
Here’s a look at a few of our recent transformations and the results they delivered.
Case Studies
Project Showcase-
Port Chester
From dated and damaged to market-ready in 45 days.
This home needed significant attention — exterior wear, a damaged basement with an illegal bathroom, and a dated interior that didn’t show well.
What We Did
-
Exterior: Repaired steps, refreshed siding and the detached garage, improved landscaping, and cleaned up the yard.
-
Basement: Removed an illegal bathroom with a licensed plumber, cleaned and restored the space, replaced the boiler, and repaired walls and floors.
-
Interior: Updated the kitchen with new counters, backsplash, fixtures, and cabinet refinishing, plus refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout.
Result
The property was fully market-ready in just 45 days — attracting strong interest and a smooth sale.
Kitchen: Refinished cabinets, new counters and backsplash, updated fixtures.
Project Showcase- Rye Brook
Unlocking value through strategy and smart positioning.
This property had been used as a three-family, but legally it was recognized only as a single-family home — a major obstacle for most buyers.
Through research and coordination with the town, Casa Cerrada identified a path to legalize the home as a two-family duplex rather than reverting it back to single-family status. That shift completely changed the property’s marketability and opened the door to a stronger resale position.
What We Did
-
Coordinated approvals and permitting
-
Oversaw renovations to meet two-family safety and layout requirements
-
Managed contractors and timelines to keep the project moving smoothly
Result
The property was successfully legalized as a two-family duplex and brought to market with far stronger appeal and buyer demand.
Exterior updates were part of the broader repositioning — repairs, fresh paint, and curb appeal improvements aligned the property with its new two-family status and boosted buyer confidence.
Project Showcase - Purdys
From gutted shell to a warm, family-ready home.
This property started as a full gut renovation — the kind of project that requires tight coordination, clear planning, and consistent oversight from start to finish.
What We Did
-
Coordinated the entire renovation process, from demolition through final finishes
-
Managed contractors, permits, and inspections at each stage
-
Selected finishes designed to create a bright, welcoming home with broad market appeal
Result
The project delivered a beautifully finished home that attracted strong interest and provided a move-in-ready space for a new family.
