Home Additions
If you are growing out of your home, why go through the stress and hassle of a home sale, including changing school districts and packing and moving. Consider a Maryland contractor to help build a home addition to gain that extra space. A master suite! An expanded and updated kitchen ! A new family room with lots of windows or a fireplace!
Great news – you don’t have to move – just improve!
Here’s a an example of how Bucheimer recently improved the living space of a Maryland home with an addition. Read below to learn more!
House Addition Challenge:
A historic log cabin in the country was in need of some significant “TLC”, but also lacked a working floor plan and some basic modern systems. Several additions over many years had resulted in a haphazard floor plan, terrible stairs and a lack of functional space, including a first floor bedroom with a closet and a bathroom.
Solution:
Design an addition that enveloped the original structure by creating a first floor bedroom, walk-in closet, master bath, a loft open to below, larger living room and lots of windows to accentuate the mature tree canopy that surrounds the home. Salvaged original logs and hand cut flooring were repurposed into integral elements of the new design such as the staircase and the loft floors. New plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems, energy efficient windows and an insulation package up to current specs brought this 150 year old home into the 21st century while keeping much of its old time charm.
