Lex and Alana LeBlanc work on refacing the fireplace at the home of clients Tandy and Ryan Perkins. Lex manages the renovation of the Perkins current home to boost resale value while Alana takes the real estate reins to help the family locate their ideal future home.

Prior to the renovation, the value of the Ryan and Tandy's home in the Bellevue suburb of Nashville was estimated at around $260,000. In order to afford the house they wanted to move into, the Perkins hoped to make improvements that would allow them to list the house at around $350,000. Lex and Alana helped make that happen.

Improvements in the living room include refacing the fireplace with a new wood surround, refinishing the hardwood floors and staging the space with more contemporary furnishings.
