Providing general contracting & remodeling services to Fort Collins & the Northern Front Range.
We just finished wrapping up an addition/remodel in Old Town North. Very appreciative to have been a part of this project. Scope included a 440 sq. ft. addition (Bedroom/Bathroom and walk-in closet), complete remodel of the existing house inside and out, and a detached garage.
The project was full of fun architectural features, built-ins, zero threshold steam shower, gas fireplace to name a few.
I hate to sound like that, I just can’t keep coming up with creative titles 🙂
I truly do love finishing basements. It’s crazy to me to think this house was built in 1991 with 2,239 sq. ft. upstairs (main + upper). We finished the basement 1,099 sq ft. increasing their usable area by 50%,while adding a full bath, living area, exercise room and bedroom. In this day and age when median home prices in Fort Collins are $575K and all this space has been looking like a cobweb covered dungeon for 32 years. What’s not to love??
I love when we have the opportunity to open things up. It may not be for everyone but I’m a fan. This 1980’s house was comprised of a main level that included a Living Room, Kitchen and Dining and is now one big open space.
Basement finishes are my favorite type of home improvement project. Homeowners just get so much more “bang for their buck” or ROI for the math nerds out there. 🙂
I love that we get to reclaim square footage that previous sat idle or was underutilized.
We recently wrapped up a residential addition that was a great little project. When we were originally contacted by the homeowner they were entertaining the idea of a “tiny house” for the mom to live with them. I’m so glad they decided to build something permanent, I think their return on investment will be much better with the home addition.
This is the perfect space for someone who doesn’t need tons of storage and as we were working on the project everyone who walked thru mentioned “boy I could live here.” It really is the perfect apartment for those without tons of “stuff.”
Excited with how this Master Bedroom Suite came together. I think one of the biggest challenges of any addition is having the finished product look like it belongs, not just some wart growing off the side of the house. I cannot take credit for the design to achieve this (although I do consider those architects and engineers integral team members) I will take credit for pulling it all off, getting those ridge lines to flow seamlessly and the hip and valleys meld together. We incorporated multiple framing techniques to achieve the finished product, with the Dutch Hip, over-framing, balloon wall and both factory built trusses and a hand cut roof section to bring it all together.
Our latest project took a little different route from the typical gut and remodel. We were able to salvage the ’70’s vintage tub using the Miracle Method resurfacing process. This was the perfect solution for this particular project for several reasons.
We knew from other homes in the neighborhood that replacing the tub was going to be a MAJOR endeavor. Due to the original construction if the tub were to be replaced, we would need to flip the orientation 180 degrees due to obstructions below (the houses main supply and return ductwork) which did not allow access to the waste and overflow piping. Flipping the tub would also require removal of the ceiling below to gain access to piping. Either way, a time-consuming and costly endeavor.
With the decision made to leave the tub in place we also helped keep a significant amount of waste out of the landfill. A never-ending problem in the construction industry and anytime we can recycle without sacrificing the end product we consider it a win-win.
Everyone was happy with the choice to resurface vs replace, something you may want to consider for YOUR next project.
