LAIKA

VAN REMODEL
2016 RAM Promaster 2500 159” WB

The Story

My client Joanna had recently purchased this van used from an individual off Craigslist. The previous owner had built the van out themselves, and so much of the van checked off Joanna’s boxes.

And yet, there were still things that Joanna was looking for in a van build that she wanted to add to her existing build. I worked with Joanna to identify the best ways to maximize the existing build while bringing her vanlife dreams to reality.

What we changed:

  • Installed an on-demand water system with 25 gallons of fresh water

  • Replaced the kitchen faucet and sink

  • Remodeled the cabinetry to have soft close drawers

  • Remodeled the cabinetry for shaker style doors

  • Installed upper cabinetry with LED under-lighting

  • Remodeled bench to allow fridge to run on drawer slides

  • Installed drawer dedicated for camp stove to free up counter space

  • Applied a new paint job and installed brass hardware to cabinetry

  • Remodeled garage construction to increase storage accessibility

“Beyond just delivering expert craftsmanship for our remodel Laika, Chris was a true thought partner and collaborator for the project from the very beginning. He took the vision we initially had and made it better, providing suggestions for everything from pull-out drawer features to water tank installation. The entire time, he made sure that the changes aligned to the final outcome we wanted to achieve: a modern yet cozy build that could be both a weekend getaway and a home for months on end.

Despite running into challenges with the original build, Chris delivered our project ahead of schedule and with perfect execution. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for incredible quality and a wonderful partnership experience!”
