July Market Recap
Since moving to Birmingham in 2016, this was my second year going to the market. To say I was overwhelmed and dead by the end of my 3 days is an understatement! While living in Chicago, I would attend the 4 floor Merchandise Mart and thought it was the greatest thing. As I walked into […]
Outdoor Kitchens
Kitchen design and space planning are not just for the interior of your home. Outdoor spaces can become the perfect “hangout spots” or “end of the day retreats” with just the right imagination. Of course, all of us at Twin are here to help! Here is one of my favorite outdoor oasis’ renovated for a […]

Take a little journey with us through the before and after pictures below! Before, […]

Seasonal Home Maintenance: Protecting Your Investment
Our goal at Twin Construction is to provide our clients with the home of their dreams. After all is said and done, every homeowner has a responsibility to protect their biggest investment. I’m not talking about home security and a good neighborhood watch group, but the kind of protection that involves a caulk gun and […]

This week, our cabinet designers, Lauren and Crystal, are sharing some of their favorite Twin kitchens and designs, and the reasons why they love them!

Dishwasher Tips from a Pro
We’ve all been there – dealing with a dishwasher that doesn’t clean like it should. Luckily for us, Trey (one of our trusty Project Managers!) recently got the scoop from a dishwasher guru, and is on the blog today sharing a few tips to make dishes extra clean. Before you call the professionals, try these […]

The Playroom: A Place for Little Ones
Summer is here! Along with hours and hours of outside time for children. However, those same little ones who love the outdoors, trample barefoot everywhere and seem to have limitless scope for the imagination also need a little inside time every now and then. Enter, the playroom. Many of our homeowners request playrooms and we […]
Making Progress
We love seeing a foundation take shape into a beautiful home. Here are a few sneak peaks of homes that are evolving into lovely dwelling places! Beautiful windows and wood siding instantly make this house feel more like a home. After framing, a cozy porch and French doors begin to shine! And look at the difference […]
Celebrating 15 Years!
We recently celebrated our 15th anniversary here at Twin Construction! A lot can happen in 15 years – a lot of life, change and growth. When I first put my hands to the plow in the construction world, I was a single guy sleeping on my twin brother’s sofa. I was taking on new projects slowly, […]
Home Exteriors
With the arrival of spring and summer, home exteriors seem to take on a new life. We tend to notice them just a little more this time of year, don’t we? The exterior of a home can be just as important as its interior – it invites people in and draws them through the front […]
Twin Office Remodel
If you’ve visited our office in the last few months, you know that we’ve been under a good bit of construction. Our office needed a few updates and we decided to embrace them head-on. Our renovation involved a lot of creativity, a few months of “musical desks” to accommodate construction needs and plenty of opportunities […]
Twin’s Little Free Libraries
If you visit parks in the Homewood area, you’ve likely noticed Little Free Libraries that look a lot like the Twin Construction logo! We love being involved in our community, so when we discovered the Little Free Library project, we were excited to be part of it! The libraries give people an opportunity to take […]

Porch Living
It’s that time of year again – porch weather! Porches have come a long way. They’re often treated as another room in the home – another space to gather, dine and share life. Many clients even plan their porches and outdoor furniture selections so that they are able to use them year round. Here are a […]
Embracing Open Shelving
I know, just reading that title, your mind instantly goes here- Where will my game day and sippy cups go? I don’t have any pretty serving pieces to display. What about the dust? Let’s talk it out. While kitchen cabinets have a significant impact, too much cabinet can get a little heavy & boring. Renovating […]
All About Countertops
As a designer, one of my favorite things is going to the stone yard and selecting slabs that are eventually fabricated into beautiful countertops. There are so many countertop materials available, homeowners often say it’s confusing when trying to pick the perfect one! I have listed the most common materials used today, along with their […]
Meet Our Team: Barry Chancellor
Barry! Well, Barry is simply the best. Barry is a can-do guy that runs his job sites so smoothly, there are very few punch list items…ever! He is kind and courteous and super responsive.

We have done some punches of color in the past… But this year we are looking forward to bringing the bold! Come by and check out […]
