Full Studio Remodel in Brian Head, Utah

A Brian Head studio with good bones and a great location at nearly 10,000 feet, but an interior that had not been updated in years. Viking worked through the whole space systematically: new flooring throughout, every surface repainted, kitchen and bathroom refreshed, trim finished, and hardware brought to one consistent standard.

What the customer called us about

The studio had a solid structure and a great location, with real potential as a rental or personal retreat. But the interior had not been updated in years: worn flooring, dated finishes, a kitchen that needed attention, and a bathroom that was functional but tired.

The owner wanted the space brought up to a standard that matched the setting. Not a gut remodel, but a thorough refresh that addressed every surface and left the studio feeling new.

What Viking did

  • Installed new flooring across the entire studio, one consistent material from the living area through the kitchen and into the bathroom
  • Repainted every surface: walls, ceilings, and trim, with proper prep before any paint went on
  • Refreshed the kitchen with updated hardware, new fixtures, and refinished surfaces
  • Updated the bathroom with new fixtures, hardware, fresh paint, and new flooring
  • Addressed baseboards, door casings, and trim details throughout, with gaps filled and caulk lines clean
  • Updated light fixtures, outlet covers, switch plates, cabinet hardware, and door hardware to one consistent finish

Mountain properties have specific needs

Elevation, temperature swings, and humidity cycles in mountain communities like Brian Head affect material choices and installation methods. What works in St. George does not always work at 10,000 feet, and Viking accounts for those conditions before making recommendations.

A full studio remodel also means there is nowhere to hide. Every surface gets attention and every transition gets finished, because the work either holds together as a complete result or it does not.

Materials and products used

New flooring

One material and finish run through the entire studio

Paint

Warm, grounded tones on walls, ceilings, and trim, chosen for the mountain setting

Fixtures and hardware

Lighting, outlet covers, switch plates, cabinet pulls, and door hardware in one consistent finish

The result

The studio came out clean, cohesive, and well-finished: new floors, fresh paint on every surface, an updated kitchen and bathroom, and matching hardware from room to room.

It is the kind of result that photographs well and holds up to real use, whether the owner keeps it as a retreat or runs it as a rental.

Worth knowing

A good paint job is mostly preparation: filling holes, sanding, taping clean lines, and priming. The actual painting is the easy part, and skipped prep shows up immediately and never gets better.

Questions about this kind of work

Does Viking work on properties outside of Washington County?

Yes. Viking serves Southern Utah and surrounding mountain communities, including Brian Head, Cedar City, and the broader Iron County area. If you have a project in the region, reach out and Viking will let you know if it is within service range.

What does a full studio remodel typically include?

It depends on the property, but generally flooring, paint, kitchen and bathroom updates, fixture and hardware replacement, trim and finish work, and any repairs that come up during the process. Viking walks the space with you, puts together a clear scope, and prices the work before anything starts.

How long does a studio remodel take?

A full studio remodel of this scope typically takes one to two weeks of on-site work, depending on the condition of the space and the scope. Viking gives a realistic timeline before work begins.

Can Viking help with material and finish selections?

Yes. Viking can help you think through flooring, paint colors, hardware finishes, and fixture choices, especially for mountain properties where the setting should inform the selections. Viking is not an interior design firm, but has strong opinions about what works and what holds up.

What if more work is discovered once the project starts?

It happens. Viking communicates immediately when something unexpected comes up and does not proceed without your approval on scope or cost changes. You will never get a surprise bill at the end of a project.
