Just Another Basement Finish…

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??

Open Floor Plan

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 Finish

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.

Mother-in-law Suite

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.”

Residential Addition

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.
