Complete Remodel and Additions

Problem

Scope of Work

Expanded single-story ranch with rear addition and second floor. Addressed structural, mechanical challenges. Installed beams, waterproof system, raised ceiling, soundproof windows.

A rear addition was desired to create a family room and mud room.
Met with homeowner’s to discuss desires. Reviewed home layout to determine the best and most cost-effective way to create the design goals.
Structural aspects of building were analyzed as well as mechanicals.
Several structural beams were installed in order to achieve design solution.
When taking off the roof of a house there is an obvious risk of water damage to any finished areas. In this case the existing basement was beautifully finished. To avoid the risk of damage to this area we installed a waterproof system of heavy rubber membrane with an integrated drainage system which worked flawlessly.
First floor ceiling was raised to 9’ (from 8’). Structural provisions were made needed to insure lateral loading strength.
Stair to second floor placement needed to be incorporated into the design.
This neighborhood is an upscale community that is very near O’Hare. All windows were replaced with sound limiting glass.
