Attic Renovation

I showed you all this attic renovation in an earlier post.

But the homeowner is getting ready to sell and they want to call this a three bedroom, one bathroom home.  As we all know you can't call a room a bedroom without a window and a closet.  So we gave them a closet.  As a matter of fact two of them and a beautiful dormer look.

We used old solid wood doors from our favorite place, Second Chance. We purchased the doors first so we could frame to there specs.  I think this room was the only one I've done that I didn't initially put crown moulding in.  I finally figured out a way to get some kind of wood trim on the ceiling.  Lets hope the renovations Fronckoski Contracting has done can get this home sold quick.

Irene Damaged Basement

This home was caught off guard by Hurricane Irene.  The renters we're in Atlanta and the property got about 6" of water which stood on the floor for about 4 days.  It wound up being a gut down to the studs and some walls being removed.

  Thanks to USAA Insurance Co, the homeowner was able to have us put this basement back together.
We framed up exterior walls, new insulation, drywall, paint, trim, doors and door jambs and carpet.  We also installed a crown molding to finish the ceiling (as usual).

                                                                     

We also stripped the utility room floor and put a epoxy painted finish on.  Although this home was stricken with damage from the hurricane,  we restored this basement back to a comfortable, warm living area.

Recent Job

  These are some pictures from a job that I've been working on the last few weeks.  This couples getting ready to sell there home and approached us to see what we could update for them to maximize there profit and their chance to sell quick.  We decided that a complete gut and renovation of the bathroom was top priority.  We went from a vanity sink to a pedestal sink for a more spacious feel.  Hexagon tile on the floor and subway tile on the shower walls and charcoal grout give a real "era"  look.  This  home was built in the early 50's.

                                                                       

I also feel that crown moulding puts the topping on every room

   

We then decide that the kitchen was the next spot that needed updating.  We put a new engineered 5" wide plank floor in.  I love the wider plank floor look especialy with darker stains.  I refinished their maple cabinets to have an antique country look and topped the counter off with oak butchers block.  A nice bright coat of yellow paint and it's an inexpensive new kitchen.  I had to go to my favorite archetectual salvage store, Second Chance, to find some heart pine baseboards already finished to match the window and door frames perfectly.  Oh yeah, and some crown moulding just for good measure.

Last but not least we turned an upstairs storage area into a spacious and bright loft bedroom.   When I saw the knotty pine floors all I could think was to sand them down and put a nice coat of Behr porch and floor paint on.  I give's it that old cottage look.  We skim coated all the walls and painted them a real light sky blue. To stay with that same cottage look we painted the stair risers.

There's still a little left to do here like paint and trim a couple bedroom's and refinish the first floor hardwood so check back soon to see the finished projects.  Thanks.
