New renovation and major face lift started in West Asheville

jdwallace — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:31:01 +0000

We have begun a renovation of the Vestal home on Tremont St. We are very happy to have their trust to do a wonderful job transforming their home. A modest ranch with dated siding . We are adding a front master closet which will change the roof line and also a living room on the rear of the home. we will be replacing all the vinyl with Hardi plank , a great local product, also adding a pergola over the existing front deck to add curb appeal. Metal roof to be utilized and lots of windows in the addition.

Take a look at what we started with and stay posted.

I designed and drew up the addition for them and they are very excited at the prospect of the extra space and the new look of their home. We are happy to work with you to design or redesign your existing home to make your ideas come to life! See below the existing outline and the new designs we have added.

OK , I am a horrible blogger ,

But the Best house is almost finished just adding an exterior screened porch that the customer added , and looking for boulders they want for some landscaping options. I have learned much about building in PA in the winter DON’T . But all in all it has gone very smoothly . As I am not there except for infrequent inspections and am depending on my general contractor the pictures are not of the highest quality . since I have had requests to see where we are I have attached some pictures as they are below. I plan a trip this month to take final pics myself and will post them ASAP. Thank you for your patience.

Merry Christmas from Mountain Brook Homes and Gosh I’m so slack…

We have made a ton of progress on the Best job but I have been slow to post. The exterior is done but we are now going to do some changes for the customer per new selections . Power is on and heat so the work inside is getting finished, Working in PA in December is tough at best so kudos to the crew up there for all their hard work . The team from Gibson builders have been a pleasure to work with. Take a look at he recent progress , we should be done within the next three weeks !

Progress continues but rain and bad weather back

Well I had hoped to be in PA this week overseeing the set of the Best family home. Unfortunately rain is on the menu their for set date , we are shooting for one week out . In the interim the basement is 100% now and looks great!

Progress on Best Home,

we be swamped.....

Well last we spoke I had been contracted to build a home for the Best Family . At this point we have pulled the permits and have the foundation complete. This is a modular project , next week we take delivery and set the home so look for a quick updating from this point forward. oh and did I mention this project is in PA?? I was very flattered that the owner researched my company and wanted to work with me to design and draw his home for him from such a distance. The bad thing was that right after the site meeting Pa was inundated with rain.

This slowed progress but I hope all is back on track. I am working with Gibson builders in that area and Excel homes Inc. of PA is my modular supplier. I have worked with them on projects for years now and my own home is an Excel . I hope to get some of the new plans they have supplied me with up on the site very soon. for now take a look at this project as it unfolds!
