Our Job Here

The Gladstone Park Renovation

Inside, the walls between the rooms were stripped to the frame and the frames taken out, so the rooms opened into one living area. A post was left where one wall came out.

We framed the new openings and a new doorway, then lined the walls and ceilings. The photos look through the open living area towards the front door.

Outside, we built a deck frame on the slab beyond new sliding doors, and a slat screen.

Photographed during the build.
