New Vinyl Flooring and Refinished Wood Floor

Close-up of flooring in need of an upgrade, in a home that was going to be put on the market.

Same space!
Consider It Done Construction installed new vinyl flooring, a new transition strip between the vinyl and the refinished wood floor, then painted the walls. The floor base was removed, lightly sanded, painted, and re-installed.

Add a Shower to a Half Bath

Pre-Sale prep on this home included adding a shower. 

The shower stall will punch out into the garage. (Door to the right is access to the house from the garage.)

The shower is now in place, waiting for inspections. 

All done. The paint is still wet in this photo. 
Want to see the inside? 

Much improved from the 'before' picture above, right?
- New paint, new flooring, new shower. -

Bathroom Floor (with dry rot)

Doesn't that look nice?

The original flooring was no longer bonded to the floor, and was peeling up. 
So, we removed the toilet, fixed the dry rot, and replaced the flooring.

From another angle.

It sure needed replacing!

Small Kitchen Renovation

This is the result of a 'light' kitchen remodel involving paint, countertops, new appliances and fixtures, lighting, and tile backsplash. Here's what we did: 

This is what we started with. 

 We removed the upper cabinet, which was blocking the view into the family room. Wow, that really opened up the kitchen.

Next, we repaired the ceiling, painted the cabinets, brought in an electrician to update the lighting, and prepped the area for the countertop guys. 

There's the beauty shot again.
Notice: The stove is no longer a cooktop, the vent hood is now a microwave/vent hood combo, and the eat-bar area has been extended. Oh, and that sweet cabinet door modification with glass fronts!

Adding a Shower

Just beyond the toilet here, we're going to put in a shower. 

Notice the shower pan is in...
We captured a hall closet to do this project. That's the entry just beyond the framing. 
This was ready for the plumbing contractor to do his magic.

What a great improvement for this master bathroom!

Wooden Backyard Fencing

This is the fence line where the new fence will be built. 

Ta Da! How's that for a home improvement?

The backyard view before the fence. 

After new fencing. What a difference.

We put the cabinet back together, and installed a new sink and countertop.

Bathroom Addition

This project was in a home with 2 bedrooms upstairs, and a walk-in closet. The customer wanted to convert that closet into a bathroom.
 
 
In order to communicate with the customer, Consider It Done Construction placed blue tape to show which doors would be removed, and where the shower and sink would be located.  

If you keep your eye on the shower area throughout this post, it will all make more sense.

These are the same 2 doorways after the walls were opened for plumbing and electrical. Notice the tape showing the shower (barely visible on the floor).

Work on the shower stall and walls has begun. The plumbing poking out of the wall indicates where the sink will be. This is a farmhouse, so the wainscoting was a great choice for the walls.

Shower pan work continues, and one-piece vinyl flooring has been installed. Notice the plumbing for the toilet in on the left.

First came the shower, sink/cabinet, and toilet. Then the addition of the lighting fixtures, ceiling fan, mirror, and towel rod and ring. The finished result.

(This is a fun job to scroll back to the top to see what we started with)

Kitchen Sink Flashing Repair

This customer was having problems with water on the area behind the sink. 

Consider It Done Construction added a strip of flashing here to keep the water off the area.

Remote Pellet Stove Operation

 The customer asked if Consider It Done Construction could find a way to operate an existing pellet stove via the internet. 

It took some research, and a modified Honeywell WiFi thermostat to do the job. 

Any smartphone will work.

Adding Vents

 Following a Home Inspection, it was found the underside of this house needed more ventilation (fresh air) to reduce moisture. 

Consider It Done Construction added the venting on the access panels and the vents above them allow air to move freely.

Installing Trusses

 Consider It Done Construction was asked to set the trusses, and sheet the roof. 

 Here we go. 

 Trusses up.

Look twice, I'm wearing a climbing harness because of the steep pitch of the roof!

Kitchen Floor Repair

 We found the floor had damage under the fridge. 

 Close-up of the damage.

 First we cut away the damaged wood, and repaired the area. 

 This is the repair; ready for vinyl. 

 But, of course the rest of the room needed to be prepped, too!

 Nice new vinyl where the fridge and stove belong. 

Here's the corner of the kitchen just before we put the appliances back.
