Step-by-Step Process: Addition / Remodel

Project Overview:

Project Type: Bonus Room Addition Above Garage (36th St., Boise)
Size: Approximately 500 sqft
Original Home Built: 2017
Purpose: Provide additional space for a growing family, designed as a TV and playroom

Step 1: Understanding the Client’s Vision

We began this project by collaborating closely with the homeowners to understand their needs for additional space to accommodate their growing family. They envisioned a multi-purpose bonus room for entertainment and play, seamlessly integrated with their existing home design.

Step 2: Design and Architectural Planning

Our talented architect, Sarah, worked meticulously to ensure the addition looked like part of the original home design. Her attention to detail was critical in matching the aesthetic and structural elements of the home, both inside and out.

Step 3: Site Evaluation and Planning

Before construction began, we conducted a detailed evaluation of the existing structure. To ensure the new addition was cohesive, we planned to extend the hallway from the upstairs bedrooms over the utility room and into the new bonus room above the two-sided garage.

Step 4: Engineering and Structural Preparation

One of the highlights of this project was installing a 50-foot steel beam, expertly engineered to carry the weight of the new structure. This beam was essential in tying the addition to the existing home while maintaining safety and stability.

Step 5: Framing and Structural Integration

With the beam in place, we proceeded with framing the new addition. Ensuring the exterior windows of the new bonus room matched the existing bedroom windows was crucial to creating a seamless look.

Step 6: Interior and Exterior Finishing

We worked diligently to replicate the interior finishes of the original home, from flooring to trim and paint. On the exterior, we matched materials and colors to ensure the addition blended perfectly with the home’s existing design.

Step 7: Final Walkthrough and Completion

Once construction was complete, we conducted a thorough walkthrough with the homeowners to ensure the addition met their expectations. The new bonus room provided a beautiful, functional space for the family, while maintaining the integrity of the home’s original design.
