Project SqFt: 1,675
Project Cost: $525,000.00
Matching Existing Designs: The building team was able to capture and recreate all the existing designs, keeping the historical feel alive and well.
Windows: The new windows used maintain the traditional glass divide structure while also improving energy efficiency, usage, and life safety.
Flooring: New hardwood flooring was installed in areas of drastic damage while the existing hardwood floors were sanded and stained to match. This ushers in the comfort of real solid wood flooring that is traditional in a cottage like this.
Kitchen & Bathrooms: The kitchen and bathroom was updated with a modern white shaker design brining in contemporary components. This alls for updated feel while keeping inline with simplistic cottage comfort.
Quality of living: The heat pump HVAC system provides year round cooling and heating with high quality air. The new electrical removes the high risk wiring in the home and brings it up to new, safer stadards. The plumping was leaking with lack of water pressure, so the new plumbing greatly increases usage and long term saftey. Finally, with all the mold removal and new finishes, living and moving about the house allows you to settle down to make it your home.
Increased Efficencies: The new HVAC system, insulation, windows, and electrical drastically cut back on heating and cooling costs while also having a net benefit to the environment.
Family Connection: The new space cleans up the rooms for people to operate on happier, higher engergy levels, and healthier lives. A clean home with great design does this because when we can feel safe and proud of where we live, good thoughts and emotions radiate out to those around us.
With over 15 years of experience, we have mastered the art of remodeling homes with special care to the owners living there.
