The owners of this house came to C&R because they were frustrated with the way their house looked, functioned, and felt. The floor plan was choppy, the finishes outdated, and there wasn’t enough space for the family to interact. They called C&R thinking that doubling the square footage of the home would be the best solution. But as they worked with C&R’s designers, they realized that their wants and needs could be met in a more cost effective way. A plan was devised to gut the whole house, rearrange room locations,  and add just a little square footage. The result is far beyond what the homeowners had imagined because now their entire home is functional, beautiful, and filled with amenities throughout.

During a whole house remodel, homeowners will often move out so the work can progress as quickly as possible. However, this family preferred to remain in their home, so one section was designated ‘living area’ while construction took place in the other areas. This kind of arrangement requires a good working relationship between the Lead Carpenter and homeowners because remodeling can be messy and rather stressful at times. We’re happy to report that everything went extremely well, and their comments upon completion were glowing:

“Remodeling an entire house is a very large undertaking, to say the least. From our first meeting, we were impressed with the knowledge & experience. Our Lead Carpenter was the absolute best! He was very responsive to our questions and sensitive to our growing pains as we all lived through this extensive remodel.”

We often compare the remodeling experience to a vacation excursion. There are parts you don’t enjoy so much–like standing in line at the airport–but when you arrive at your destination, it is always worth the hassle. Take a look at these photos of the finished project and you can see why the owners now feel like they’re living in paradise:

Square footage was added to provide space for a new family room. The new finishes and wood floor seamlessly integrate the spaces.

Granite countertops and new cherry cabinets create a dramatic and welcoming space for cooking, entertaining, and relaxing over a cup of coffee.

The open floor plan provides flexibility to use the spaces in a variety of ways. And now, those working in the kitchen feel connected to all the other activities going on in the adjacent dining and family room areas.

The master bathroom is a dramatic upgrade from the existing small bath area. Amenities include a custom tile shower and lots of storage.

EXTERIOR VIEWS OF THE ADDITION

This remodeling transformation included exterior work, too. Energy efficiency was increased with new windows throughout. The roof of the family room addition extended over part of the new large concrete patio area. This created outdoor living options galore!
