Brief Explanation of the Scope of Work

This busy family wanted to enlarge and update their kitchen and to add a screened porch. They wanted well lit, functional and elegant spaces which not only added square footage, but which improved the way their existing spaces functioned and related to one another. We enlarged the opening between the kitchen and the living room (See on left). At the rear of the living room, we enlarged the existing masonry window opening and installed French doors opening up to the new screened porch.

The addition opens up the home to the rear yard. A simple deck and stair provides a transition from the screened porch and the kitchen to the yard. The second floor bay addition provides a larger space for the homeowners that is both elegant and comfortable.

Other improvements to the existing home included refinishing all of the wood floors, interior painting and installation of a new energy efficient boiler. Foam insulation and Pella windows ensures that the energy spent in the home will stay.
