Old Town Renovation
We recently completed a remodel of an Old Town Fort Collins home built-in 1900. This is my first time working on something that old, 119 years! The project began because the homeowner had fallen several times on the old and poorly constructed turn of the century stairs. I almost tripped on a couple of site visits leading up to the project, they were a mess!
Besides jackhammering out the old stairs, underpinning the foundation and building the new winder stairs. We also enlarged the original kitchen opening with a new header and beam, removed a 2" hump in the existing kitchen which required us to trim existing joists and rebuild the structure from the ground up. Several other openings went away and a few new ones were created.
We ended up with a great finished product (the homeowner mentioned the new floor felt like she was standing on concrete) both structurally and aesthetically. I love working with my architect and engineer to create both functional and amazing spaces!
