The existing second floor is to be remodeled
and a dormer added.

been framed in preparation
for insulation and drywall.

Entire roof & attic area retrofitted with
open cell icynene foam insulation. Our
clients will love their lower utility bills.

drywalled. A new opening has
been created down to the stairs.

Here is a rendering of what
we expected one of the
bedrooms would look like.
This is the same view, with how
the space actually turned out.
Here is the second bedroom. The
closet and niche were carefully
shoehorned around the structure.
The bright and cheery colors are
perfect for these two kids’ rooms!

All the doors have been hung,
ready for hardware.
A custom-built panel to cover the
attic access opening. Angled to
match the roof slope off the attic.

Our happy home-owners,
excited to move into
their new spaces.
Here is the new bedroom,
furnished for the
clients’ two boys.
This is the other bedroom,
setup for their young daughter.
A bright, open hallway connects
the bedrooms to the stairs down.
Outside, the new dormer was
detailed to compliment
the existing home.
