Sometimes the process of remodeling is iterative. That was the case for our West Mercer clients, who undertook a master bath rework, which sparked interest in a larger remodel. That was where we came in. With a small section of the second story already complete, we turned our attention to the rest of the home. Built in the 1970s, the home had low ceilings, closed-in, compartmentalized rooms and a funky footprint. On the main level, we opened up the living spaces to play down the low ceiling and added 160 square feet to make the space more free flowing and suitable for a modern family that enjoys hanging out and playing music together. We added a new covered entry porch to create street presence and minimize the garage. We replaced two small dormers with a larger shed dormer to add vital square footage to the bedrooms and modernized the exterior.
