Before… a 1959 bungalow in need of some updating.

The rear yard lacked easy flow from the kitchen…

… with little outdoor living space.

A new garage addition is planned…

… but first an armorstone retaining wall must be installed.

The garage foundation is poured.

The driveway is widened.

Foundation piers for a new cedar deck are poured.

Inside, demolition begins…

… with removal of existing basement stairs and several interior partitions.

A new structural I-beam is installed from front to back…

… and new openings created to the rear yard.

The new garage addition is framed…

… and doors and windows installed.

Matching brick is installed.

New patio doors and windows open up the magnificent view.

New wood-burning fireplace is installed.

New cedar deck is framed.

New kitchen with granite-topped island.

Marble and glass bath with ‘solar-tube’ for natural overhead light.

Retaining wall for the rear yard.

Forms are prepared for concrete patio.

Impressioned concrete sidewalks and patio.
