Two Story Addition Project

Our customer wanted to build a two story in law apartment addition onto her moms' existing single floor ranch. What she really needed was a bedroom, walk-in closet, bathroom, & living room upstairs. Downstairs she needed us to build a single unfinished room that she would later remodel to be a kithen & dining room. The picture above shows the rear view of the single level ranch where a two story addition would rest ontop as well as extend towards the back yard.

Forming the Concrete Footers

Roof Above Garage Removed

In order to build a second story on top of the garage we had to remove the roof.

Rear Wall (Future Kitchen/Dining Room)

Here you can see the rear extension addition taking shape.

Roof Truss Installation

We used a crane to hoist the roof trusses up to the workers.

All Hands on Deck

In this photo you can see that the front second story has been wrapped in Tyvek.

Front Exterior Completed

The exterior has been completed, but we kept the dumpster until all the mechanicals were installed so that we had a container for all the packing materials.

Side View

Central air conditioning was also installed for our customer.

Rear View of Addition

By this time our customer was already moving her furniture from her old apartment into her new home that she now shared with her mom.

Future Plans for Kitchen & Dining Room

By request we only installed the interior doors & finished drywall. Our customer had future plans to floor and outfit with a kitchenette.

Inside View

On the very left is the entrance to the large walk-in closet which also has a entry into the bathroom. The bathroom door is slightly to the right of the closet. The double french doors open into the new Master Suite. The open spaces covered in hardwood flooring are the new living room areas.

Living Area 1

Here is a view of the living area to the left and the Master Suite to the right.

Living Area 2

New Bathroom 1

A large an accomodating Master Bath has an entry to the Master Suite as shown here.

View Into Master Suite

The original chimney was extended through the bathroom; our customer preffered to expose the brick chimney instead of boxing it in with sheetrock.

Corner Shower

The corner shower didn't take up much space in this spacious bath. The doorway seen here is the entrance into the walk-in closet.

Ahh, another beautiful home addition.
