West Third Street

We did this project for the new owners. What they wanted was the new attic space above the kitchen converted into a master bedroom suite. They also wanted the kitchen up-graded with new flooring and re-arrangement of the cabinets for a dishwasher and vented range hood.  

What was done

•  We began in the attic, reinforcing framing, building knee walls, running electric, creating a space and platform for new central heating and air-conditioning system and a new large window in the gable end. Rafters were furred out to allow for more insulation, and all exterior walls and rafters were insulated.
• Then we created a master bedroom with interior walls for a walk-in closet and also a full bathroom. After drywall, the bathroom floor was tiled, the shower walls tiled insetting mexican tile accents, and a built-in cabinet was set into the wall. Pre-finished cherry floors were laid throughout, including the stairs and treads and risers. With matching trim in place, the new master bedroom was complete.
• Downstairs, we re-arranged existing kitchen cabinets for placement of a new dishwasher, adding a new wall cabinet above the range for a new vented range hood. We then installed new counter tops, sink and faucet. For the floors we installed new cherry pre-finished flooring throughout this area including a small study just off the kitchen. We sanded and refinished the oak flooring in the original portion of the house which was, old dining room, living room and study.
• Later, in 2007, we updated the common bath with a new tile floor, a granite vanity top and a Walt Schmidt hand made sink.
