Additions on House, Part 2.5 – Kitchen & Bathroom

On January 29, 2018January 26, 2018 By hostetlerbuildersllcIn ResidentialLeave a comment

We’ve seen the exterior and interior of the first addition, and we’ve had a look at the exterior and the entryway of the second addition. This leaves us with two more rooms in the second addition: a summer kitchen and a bathroom.

We start off with the kitchen, drywall hung but not yet painted:

Kitchen cabinet installation in process:

The cabinets are installed and painted, and the countertops and the sink are in place:

The finished kitchen in all its glory:

On the right side of the kitchen we have the washer and dryer, with storage compartments above and beneath:

Next to the washer and dryer, one of the drawers is a fold-out ironing board in disguise:

And on the left side of the kitchen we have the stove and refrigerator, gleaming stainless steel against the bold white lines of the tile backsplash:

Next we take a look into the bathroom, where the vanity cabinet is installed and shower built, but not yet tiled:

The gray vanity and cabinets and white marbled countertop with contrasting black handles and faucet make for a stunning bathroom:

And we finish with a quick look into the all-tile walk-in shower:

Last time we watched the exterior progress of an addition on a house being built. Now it’s time to step inside this beautiful front door and see what happened to the interior.

But first, let’s stop and notice the wood-grain texture on this fiberglass exterior door:

A look at the interior of the both the front door and the french doors opening onto the patio, before and after being finished:

Stepping back in time a little, we see the window seat with custom shelving on either side still unfinished:

And we’re back, looking at the completed living room, tasteful and inviting:

A closer look at the finished bookshelves and window seat:

A view from inside of the addition reveals a glimpse of the original house, where we also installed luxury vinyl plank flooring to match the addition’s floor:A closer look at the wainscoting on the hallway wall:

On the other side of the hallway wall, we put in a spacious pantry with custom-built shelving:

We also installed some additional custom-built cabinetry in the original dining room, complete with a work station:

And a before and after of the decorative beam in the center of the cathedral ceiling which we installed and stained:

So what do you think? Do you want a room like this? A place to entertain guests or just to spend time with your family…

We built one, we can build another. Just the same, or we can change it up to express your unique style. It’s up to you. Contact us here, or give us a call at (870) 845-1121.

But this inviting living room isn’t all that we added onto this home. Next week we’ll take a look at the second addition. Want to see? Enter your email on the right or like our page on Facebook.

Additions on House, Part 1 – Exterior

On January 22, 2018 By hostetlerbuildersllcIn ResidentialLeave a comment

Most long-term homeowners have, at some point, felt that their house was just a little cramped. Some homeowners decide to do something about it. We constructed two additions for one such family on their home near Nashville, AR.

Breaking ground on the front side of the house for the first addition:

The dirt pad is built:

Concrete footings are poured:

Framing in progress:

Interior view of the framing:

In this photo, you can catch a glimpse of how we tied this new addition into the home’s original gable line:

House-wrap is installed, as well as Tamko® Heritage shingles in the Weathered Wood color:

Aerial shot of the brickwork in progress:

As you can see in this photo, we removed the brick and vinyl siding on the original house and replaced it with Acme® brick as well, in order to give the whole building as seamless a look as possible:

Some shots of the finished addition’s exterior:

It’s fun to see the exterior change from dirt-work to finished, but that is something anyone who chose to drive down that road could have seen. Next week, we’ll look at something that only a few people got to see: the work done on the interior. Enter your email on the right or like our page on Facebook to be sure you don’t miss it!
