I have inspected every project stage and was not able to put a single item on the "punch list"; all items were perfected before my inspection.

Mount Baker Whole House

This whole-house remodel and dormer addition won a 2003 REX Award for Best Major Remodel. 

We started by jacking the house up and correcting an 8-inch slope from the front of the house to the back.  We reconfigured the kitchen, back door, and basement stair.  We added a dormer to accomodate a second story bathroom.  Then we completely restored the house, inside and out. 

These clients have become good friends, a testament to how the project went.

Before

 
Before starting any of the fun stuff, we had to excavate around the entire perimeter to assess the soil situation, install drainage, and possibly shore up the foundation

 
Since the house sloped eight inches, we raised the back twelve inches, while the front of the house, shown here, was lifted twenty inches to level it up.

 
The front porch columns dangled for a bit before we propped them up

 
Remodeling is dusty work.  Here is the kitchen in the process of being gutted

 
The kitchen was practically unworkable, with a narrow nook that wasn't good for anything

 

We lifted the entire house, chimney and all.  This is after the beams were removed but before the last bricks went in

 
We fabricated a laundry chute out of 12" diameter PVC sewer pipe.
