EXTERIOR PROGRESS

Skylights are in, the metal roofing is being installed, and the fascia and soffits have been painted black to better define the dramatic planes of the roof.

Compare the architect’s rendering of the back of the home (left) with exterior progress to date (right). We installed the windows and doors, applied the hard coat for stucco, and started to construct several half walls around the patio for privacy.

INTERIOR PROGRESS

The drywall process of hanging, taping, mudding, sanding and texturing wall board is complete.

Our team installed tongue-and-groove ceilings in the living room on the main level (above), and in the office and master bathroom on the second floor.

Our crew is making good progress on the stairs as well. Now that the hardwood treads are on, the next step is to install powdercoated metal railings and posts with wood balusters.

Drywall makes such a huge difference in every room, but especially in Mike and Debbie’s master bedroom. It lightens the entire space, makes it feel larger, and allows the black trim of the windows and bifold doors to really pop.

Tile, cabinetry and plumbing fixtures have arrived at the jobsite, so our team is busy with the installation. HighCraft carpenters will continue to work on the interior base and case trim, too. Stay tuned to this monthly blog series as we follow the home’s transformation and hear more from the homeowners, interior designer and project manager throughout the process.
