Outdoor Living

These returning customers had a few projects they needed help with to build more comfort into their living spaces. 

The first area to address was the upstairs full bathroom. The existing shower was nooked into a corner alcove, but was really not using the available height space efficiently. Updating this alcove to extend the ceiling and install recessed lighting transformed the experience of using this shower from dark and slouchy, to bright and airy. 

The second area to address was the outdoor living space, or the lack of it. The couple had a backyard patio created with granite remnants that were salvaged from the Boston Public Library. But the space between the patio and the entrance to the home needed something to connect them more cohesively. 

Working with Great Northern Builders, the homeowners decided that a covered, screened-in, porch would make the perfect connection between the kitchen and the outdoor patio. The porch would also provide an extension of the kitchen and dining entertaining area. The porch includes mahogany decking, a metal roof to match the existing roof as well as a doggy door to allow easy access for the two dogs of the home.
