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. -

Structural Dry Rot Fix on Deck

The support beams on this deck were seriously rotted. This was a dangerous situation.

Consider It Done Construction was able to solve the problem by shortening the beams and bringing in the support posts. 

Check it out! It looks like it has always been in perfect condition. 

The best part? The square footage of the deck above wasn't changed! 

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!

Remove and Replace Deck and Railing

This funky multi-tiered deck was dry rot damaged, and not very functional. 

Consider It Done started by removing it. 

There it is...a large, functional backyard deck. 

Bring on the BBQ!

The new deck design looks like it's always been here.

This young family is going to get a lot of use out of this new deck! 

Rot: Custom Wood Siding Repair

We've removed the gutter, prior to demo on the rotted wood. 

Consider It Done Construction custom milled the wood onsite, so it matched perfectly. 

The flashing between the new and old wood prevents moisture from getting in there and creating an issue in the future. 

Once the customer paints this, it'll be perfect.

Rot on Post

Just the lower portion of the post was affected. 

Consider It Done Construction removed the dry rot and replaced it with good wood.

New Doorway

Due to a remodeling project beyond this wall, a door was needed here.

Consider It Done Construction makes it look easy. 

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)

Bathroom Flooring Repair

This bathroom floor remodel is another gruesome one. We had to peel up the damage first. 

This is the same little nook next to the shower after the fix. 

It was a very complicated floor plan to do in just one piece of vinyl. 

Consider It Done Construction has the experience to lay even convoluted-shaped floors with just one piece of vinyl, resulting in a seamless install.

 

All that damage had to come out. (look for that floor vent in the next picture)

Nice!

 We've got an 'after' picture from this angle...

There it is, all fixed.

Sagging Beam

 The outermost beam of this carport was sagging. 

 View underneath. 

 As always, Consider It Done Construction started with the demo. You can see here, we've supported the structure temporarily, as we remove and replace the beam.

 Here's the new beam in place. 

After the new wood is painted, it won't be obvious the work was ever even needed.

Uneven Bathroom Floor

Apparently, this was an ongoing problem, that was neglected. 

It might not look too bad in the photo...

So, we put a piece of wood down to show you.....Wow, that's one wavy floor!

 The damage was extensive. 

 We pulled the toilet, and stowed it in the tub for safe-keeping...

 and started demo on the floor. 

 We had to go really deep on this one.

It's amazing how damaging water can be.

Consider It Done Construction has a great deal of experience repairing dry rot.
Our observation is: the longer it is left un-repaired, the deeper the damage.
