Vernon Avenue Addition

Project Overview

The owners of this project brought us “permit ready” plans for a rather extensive addition to the front of their home. They labored over these plans with another design firm for years only to find that the scope of work exceeded their investment preference. We went to work by redefining the goals of the project and identified a new budget. We proposed several design alternatives that substantially reduced adding new square footage to the structure. The end result moved the kitchen from the front of the house, to one that faces their backyard sanctuary. We reworked the entry way, creating a formal home for the piano and an enlarged space for dining and family gatherings.  The completed project left behind upgraded finishes that blend seamlessly with the previous finishes, giving this house new life and a completely remodeled feel.

We also remodeled their kitchen. Check it out here.

As a CPA, the financial arrangements were top of mind and I was not disappointed. The mastery of the financial side of their business was nothing I had experienced before. Weekly meetings, progress reports and timely change orders. I paid weekly for the work performed which eased my mind. When you are spending a lot, paying for what you see happening is somehow more comforting.
