Wet concrete- just poured

We also screened in an existing porch, even screening in the underside to prevent any insects from entering.

Even the underside was screened in!

Our clients expressed interest in having easy access to the rest of their back yard, which was quite steep right out of the basement.  So we designed a custom set of stairs and landing that would accommodate them.

Notice the detail in the stair treads and landing boards- opposing directions make for easy recognition.

A four foot high wooden fence was also installed to make better use of the back yard area.

A great fence to keep your pets in.

Our clients had indicated to us that two of the bedrooms adjacent to the south facing exterior wall got much hotter than the rest of the house on a sunny day.  An old article I had read some years back came to mind describing a roofing system that  buffered the attic with a radiant barrier, air space, roof sheathing, and then the shingles.  This allowed the heat radiating from the shingles to be reflected back and then sucked right of of the roof system without ever entering the attic space, dramatically reducing  heat build-up.

I thought that this would work perfectly in the southern wall that was radiating so much unwanted heat into the house.  So, first we installed a layer of 1/2″ rigid foam with a radiant barrier on one side onto the homes exterior sheathing.  

Then we installed 1×2 strips vertically over the foam mirroring the studs beneath.  With a screen at the bottom to stop the bugs and a continuous vent along the freeze board above, we installed the siding leaving an unrestricted airspace between the siding and the house.

This allows the hot air radiating from the siding to be caught in the air space and rise out of the vent above.   This natural solar convection then draws the cool air off of the foundation below into the walls air space keeping the homes interior cool as well

After a few weeks of  upper 80’s the owners are totally amazed and satisfied by the difference this application has made in the temperature those two rooms achieve.

Our client had indicated to us that he wanted to have more usable space on his property so I suggested rebuilding the two car garage with a large bonus room above.  Without having to change the footprint size or footings, we have rebuilt it in an Arts and Crafts Style with a steep roof pitch and large shed dormer, to maximize the space above.  The bonus room above will eventually be a dual purpose office for the home owners.

With smart designing and building practices we have helped a homeowner rebuild a bigger and better garage after a devastating fire and nerve racking experience.

The windows are maintenance free, never requiring any paint, and come with matching screens.  They reach the stringent guidelines for the tax credit with a U-Factor of 0.3 with a Low-E film and Argon gas between the panes.

Read some of what Moss Suppy says on there website:

Duralite spacers provide your Ashland Series 4400 with third party tested performance that will save you over up to $205 a year [based on 16 windows] in heat and cooling cost compared to high performance windows using metal spacers. Not only will the energy savings  go into your pocket, but you will have less impact on our world. 

Duralite reduces the average house’s contribution of CO2 production by almost up to 1600 lbs. (730 Kg). Calculations based on RESFEN 5.0 modeling used in “Calculations for Energy Savings used in Envirosealed Windows™ presentations” September 2007. 

In short, if every home in America had Duralite Warm Edge Spacer we could save the environment over 58 million tons of CO2 pollution.
