Interior Renovation Will Create A Slice of Heaven in St. Charles

If this was the view out your back window you would never want to leave! Well that’s exactly the attitude of the homeowners on our newest project in St. Charles. They have a beautifully secluded piece of property and they don’t want to give it up. Unfortunately, the house, built in the 50’s, doesn’t fit the dream. Therefore, they have hired Crimson to give all the bedrooms and bathrooms in the house a major overhaul. Over 1000 square feet of the house will get a face lift to make better use of space. One of the bathrooms will be a new luxurious master bathroom complete with walk-in shower. Additionally, the master bedroom will get a new walk-in closet and a large sitting room with a view through a newly installed twelve foot wide patio door. What a great place it will be to sit and read on a spring or fall afteroon.

As you can see, everyone is hard at work demolishing the old. With 1-1/2″ thick plaster walls in the two bathrooms that hasn’t been easy. As you can see from the picture, the shower and tub would have made a great fallout shelter. But after two full dumpsters (sent to Hoving for recycling) the old is out and it’s time to start building new. This week the framing will be completed and the new rooms will take shape.

Watch for new updates as this project progresses.

The foundations are all in and framing has begun. As you can see, it is really starting to take shape. The back wall of the house is coming out to connect the existing house to the addition. I’ll get some more photos of this major remodeling project up soon.

Bolingbrook Home Addition Underway

Neil — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 01:11:06 +0000

Spring has finally sprung and it’s time to build something! We recently got started on an addition in Bolingbrook. In this picture Bill is preparing to cut the existing concrete foundation wall to allow access to the new addition’s basement. Bill is standing where the new basement will be.

This project will add 14′ to the entire back of the home for an expanded kitchen and master bedroom. It will also make room for a larger family room in the basement. The kitchen will more than double in size. Fieldstone cabinets will be installed with a new high counter for entertaining. Large windows will be added in the kitchen gaining valuable natural light and the new ceiling will be vaulted adding a sense of volume that the current design lacks.

The laundry room will be moved up from the basement to the main level for convenience. The garage is also increasing in size and it will now be attached to the house. No more walking in the rain or snow to the car.

As you can see from the photo we just got started and will be working over the next three months to complete the project in time for a 4th of July party on the new deck! We’ll keep you posted on our progress.
