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. -

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!

(with the assistance of designer: Kathy Hanson)

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)

Wall Repair

In this home, the plumber needed to get inside the walls. 

Once the plumber was finished, Consider It Done Construction could button it up and make repairs. 

By the time we were finished, it was impossible to tell the walls were ever opened. 

Ceiling Hole too Large

 Whoops, the homeowner made the hole too big. 

Can't put a light fixture here until it's fixed. 

 The ceiling is plaster, so it took a little doing to support the repair.

 Drying. Getting better. 

Nice! 

Once the light is installed, it will look like the mistake never happened. 

Vintage Kitchen Remodel

The owners were ready to renovate this kitchen. 

The first thing we did was to remove the damaged sheetrock. Underneath, we found vintage wainscoting. The home owner (with their designers' encouragement) opted for us to restore/preserve it. 

Consider It Done Construction painted, replaced the flooring, made the trims throughout, pushed out the sink area, replaced the sink, and replaced the counters.

Before.

 During.

After.

This little cabinet to the right of the stove didn't fit.

We coordinated the construction of a new cabinet here. 

Consider It Done Construction replaced all the countertops with zinc. 

Stove area before.

Stove area after.

We worked closely with our favorite designer, Kathy Hanson on this project. She selected colors, finishes, and various changes, and also advised on the renovation of the plate holder on the wall. 

Door Becomes Window

The customer wanted this door to the roof eliminated, and a window put in it's place. 

The carpentry goal was to match the exterior of the house.

Primed, and ready for paint. It will look great once the house is painted.

Of course the exterior is only half the job. This is the interior view before.

 And, this is how the interior looks now. With a little trim on the floor, the evidence of a door here will be gone forever.

Wall Repair

Before.

After.
Patched, textured, primed, and painted.

Kitchen Ceiling Lighting

This customer wanted to update the old florescent lighting, and re-contour the ceiling.

After the new appliances were in, Consider It Done Construction removed the old light fixture, textured and painted the repair, and had the new light fixture installed. 

Tub and Shower Removal and Replacement

This picture is after the old tub/shower combo was removed. 

What a difference!

Consider It Done Construction added a small wall between the toilet/new shower, installed the tub and surround, coordinated the work by the plumber, patched the walls as needed, painted the entire bathroom, and replaced the flooring.

Bathroom Remodel

 A typical older bathroom in need of upgrades.

Same view, much more desirable bathroom.

Consider it Done Construction replaced the cabinet, mirror and flooring. We removed the wallpaper, repaired the walls, and painted. When the customer indicated a space heater was needed, Consider It Done Construction was able to coordinate installation with a licensed electrician.

Rebuild Wall, Then Paint

This old paneling and wallpaper underneath had to go when the wall was removed.
 The wall wasn't built properly. There wasn't enough room inside the wall for necessary plumbing.

 

Consider It Done Construction removed the old wall and rebuild it to modern standards. A little paint, and it was done. As soon as the wall was ready, the plumber came and outfitted the bathroom tub. (just on the other side of the wall)
