Home Addition And Remodel- Millville DE

This house addition in Millville, Delaware was really a joy to complete.  It was an older home that we doubled the existing square footage of the home, adding a sunroom, screened porch, composite deck, new siding, new roofing, and a kitchen remodel.  The end result was a much more enjoyable atmosphere for entertaining and relaxing.  In fact, the customer recently gave us a 5-Star rating with an online remodeling rating service.

Customer Rating:
City: Millville, DE Project: Addition to Existing Structure
“I have never really done much home construction so this addition was my first experience. I had heard so many horror stories concerning the local construction crews in my area so i was uncertain about whom to choose to do my addition. All I can tell you is that from the initial sketch to the final touch up, my deck, sunroom, screened porch, and kitchen remodeling project could not have gone off any smoother. Your scale doesn’t have nearly enough stars for me to accurately rate Alcoa Consruction. Alcoa really does deliver gold star service!”

Design:

We first completed the design portion of this addition, completing working drawings, renderings, and budget estimation.  Once we had the project details squared away, we started on the build portion of the contract.

banks-sunroom-side

Additions:

Screened Porch

We added a 12′ x 35′ Screened porch to the front of the house.  The trick was that the home was really overgrown with vegetation and we had a lot of site work to complete before we could begin construction.  We also needed to trim multiple trees and disconnect power and cable lines before beginning.  We used heavy duty aluminum screen with built in aluminum tracks.  We used composite Timbertech decking and Certainteed solid vinyl double beaded soffit ceiling for years of low-maintenance enjoyment.  We completed the porch with a hanging swing chair, new coach lights at the front door, and three ceiling fans to cool things down in the summer.

We used solid aluminum structural columns instead of lumber columns.  The main reason for this is that when using lumber, you have two options: regular lumber or pressure treated lumber.  The problem is that if you use treated lumber, you can’t wrap it in aluminum because the aluminum can react to the chemicals in the treated lumber causing corrosion and / or rotting.  On the other hand, if you use regular lumber, you can wrap it with aluminum, and this is the cheapest method, but eventually, un-treated lumber will be worn down by the elements and be subject to rot and mold.  In an oceanside environment where we operate, this is especially important.  We actually have repaired hundreds of screen porches where other contractors used inferior methods.  You can use vinyl sleeves over treated columns, but we have found that the screen securing tracks of the aluminum posts are much more secure and hold up to wind much better.

Sunroom

We added gabled 12′ x 25′ sunroom with a vaulted ceiling and custom glass windows in the gable.  The sunroom featured custom 8 foot tall Low-E windows that are both energy efficient as well as beautiful.  They have integrated screens in the windows that allow the sunroom to function as a screened porch during warm temperatures.  We also installed two Low-E sliding glass doors to allow easy access and maximum airflow during the summer.  The sunroom was built on a solid foundation and fully insulated and waterproofed.  We used 3/4″ tongue & groove Advantech flooring to ensure maximum quality and durability.  We finished everything off with synthetic Restorations Millwork trim from Certainteed on the exterior and painted pine trim inside the sunroom.  The walls were finished in drywall with a smooth finish and painted to match the new colors in the home.  The flooring was a commercial grade vinyl in a hardwood finish.

Roof Framing, Shingles, and Siding

By adding the screened porch and the sunroom, we needed to re-frame the room line to make these new additions flow seamlessly with the existing home.  Going back to the original ridge line, we framed a new roof and split it in a gable at the sunroom.  We then re-shingled the entire original and new roof with 30 year architectural shingles for a uniform look.   We then added Certainteed Cedar Impressions Vinyl Cedar Shake Siding to the gables of the addition and existing house trimmed with Certainteed Restorations Vinyl Trim.  We then replace all of the gutters and downspouts on the home.  The final touch was to remove and repaint all of the shutters to match the new color scheme.

Deck

We built a 12′ x 12′ composite deck using Timbertech composite decking and trimmed with Certainteed Restorations Millwork trim.  This ground level deck was built with extra support with a future hot tub in mind.

Interior Renovation

We cut a six foot opening from the new sunroom into the existing house at the kitchen area.  We moved all electric, HVAC, baseboard heat, and cable connections at the wall.  We then cased the opening to match the existing trim in the home.  Next up was to replace the kitchen counter tops with Wilson Art Black Star Granite.  This is a great product that keeps the budget low, but looks very high end.  Again, to keep costs low, the client decided to replace the cabinet doors instead of complete new cabinets.  We had custom cabinet doors made with a bead board wainscot insert to give them a “beachy” feel.  We then had them painted in custom paint shop to give a pre-finished look.  Each door had to be custom sized to match the existing structure.  Next we replace the existing refrigerator and dishwasher.  None to soon, we found that the old refrigerator had been leaking slowly over the years, and the sub floor was completely rotted.  We replaced the framing and sub floor and it looked like new.  We then added a wall mount microwave with custom sized cabinets above.  When we began to start the flooring, we found that the bearing wall of the existing home was sinking.  We jacked up the home from under the crawl space foundation to make the floor level, and repaired the structure.  The flooring the client choose was a commercial grade vinyl product that looked just like hardwood, which we used throughout the kitchen, new sunroom, and office area.   The benefit of the vinyl is that it is much more resistant to moisture and scratching, and will look the same 20 years from now as it does today.  We then repainted the entire home, adding trim, new light fixtures, and hardware.  We then upgraded the entire home with new smoke detectors to meet current code and improve safety.

Revamp With Bathroom Style

Is It Time For A New Look?

Bathroom Remodelers- Delaware
Bathrooms are a pertinent part of any home. They have come to be sanctuaries from the outside world and stresses. They are inviting private rooms where you can go and relax with a calming bubble bath or soothing shower.People spend a lot of time in their bathrooms, more time than they probably even realize. Bathrooms are the first and last rooms used daily and many visitors in your home often seen and use the bathroom as well. You want your bathroom to be a welcoming part of your home that feature your individual style and sanctuary. If you feel that your bathroom has become bland and what once looked fresh and nice is a little run down then consider jazzing up your bathroom with some style.Contact a local professional bathroom remodeler, like Alcoa Construction of Delaware, for all of your options and help with extended remodeling ideas. If your bathroom seems a little mundane consider making it into more of a luxurious refuge. Try adding some instant elegance. First you should let in the light. Provide bright window treatments that allow the sun ’s natural light to filter into the bathroom. Add a skylight or another window for even more additional light. Layer lighting by adding both recessed lighting and chandelier or pendant light fixtures. A brighter bathroom or a bathroom where you can dim or brighten depending on your mood is one of luxury and sophistication. Another tip is to splurge on nice faucets. There are a variety of selections out there for bathroom faucets. Choose one that is unique and fits your style. Remember to keep the bathroom neutral. This embodies a serene atmosphere that is pleasing to everyone. Know the time era you are focusing on. If you are going for s stylish elegant Victorian bathroom do your research and decorate with time pieces and antiques. Create a spot in your bathroom for sitting, This option makes the bathroom inviting and romantic, Warm towels, via a towel warmer, heavy accessories, and a signature scent are all other ways to bring unique luxurious style to your drab bathroom. Another popular style trend popping up in bathroom is a boxy modern bathroom. To achieve this look don the walls, bath tub, shower, and floor with great squared matching tiles. This creates a modern uniform look throughout the bathroom giving it a clean feeling. Switch out your out dated curtains and window awnings for a glass block. This still allows for natural light to filter in but provides a more private, modern, boxy look. Accent the bathroom with more masculine accessories, and keep the accessories to a minimum. Use black accents to complete the modern look. For a stylish bathroom with a softer feminine side think romantic. The use of fabric is a great way to achieve this style. Don’t just stop with curtains on the shower. Add a sink skirt for a soft feel. Adorn your windows with elegant ornate fabric drapes. Mix pastel floral fabrics for a garden feel. Accessorize with lots of flowers and gold framed pictures. A simple instant way to add style to your bathroom is with color. Simply painting your bathroom a new color can take it from eh to wow! Update your boring bathroom with bright wall color. Consider adding colorful tile throughout the bathroom. For a less dramatic effect use colorful accent tiles here in there in the bathroom or only use them in the back splash and shower. Colorful towels and funky bright artwork are perfect accessories to complete your new fun colorful bathroom style. For an upgraded stylish feel to your bathroom consider built in bath accessories. Install and attach towel racks and hooks throughout the bathroom. Instead of having the traditional soap dish sitting on the counter install it to the wall. Bring in separate funky bathroom pieces like the toilet paper holder or hand grip to really make your bathroom unique and stylish.

Bathroom Remodeling! Great Investment Return!

Did you know that the investment return on the average bathroom remodel is 80 to 90 percent?

Bathroom Remodelers
Did you know that the investment return on the average bathroom remodel is 80 to 90 percent? With such a great return, not to mention material pricing at all-time lows and starting to rise, now is the perfect time for bathroom remodeling and turning your bathroom into the chamber of your dreams. Baths are made for luxury. After a hard day at work, you deserve your own personal spa to come home and relax. From steam showers to a shiny bidet, ask us to help you take your dated bath and make it spectacular with classic bathroom remodeling. Alcoa Construction will listen to your needs and desires and help you design a bathroom remodel that will fit your budget. We cover everything from bathroom home additions, full bathroom renovations, and even small bathroom remodeling face lifts. It’s important to think about the bathroom design as much as about the bathroom fixtures. If you’re thinking of bathroom remodeling, consider adding elements of comfort and elegance. Transform your cold, dreary bath into your own personal sanctuary. If you have a “sky’s-the-limit” budget, think crystal chandelier, gold plated faucets, marble flooring, and stained-glass windows. Sophisticated - Soft - Elegant While many home interiors are going more simple, bathrooms are getting the royal treatment. Elegance, softness, energy efficiency, and sophistication are the keywords for bathroom decor and remodeling.bathroom remodeling Hand-made Italian tiles, custom-constructed and fitted hand-rubbed wood cabinets, and sparkling crystal light fixtures are just some of the items people are spending top dollar to get when bathroom remodeling. The bathroom is forgotten no longer. It’s your personal sanctuary, and should be treated with special touches. In new construction, bathrooms are getting larger. Combined with dressing areas and walk in closets, some bathroom areas are bigger than the adjoining bedrooms. Add to that oversized bathtubs, separate showers, gym equipment, and sauna rooms, a bathroom is becoming a destination place in homes. In bathroom remodeling, homeowners are tearing down walls, eliminating small bedrooms, and creating giant bathrooms with special amenities such as telephones, televisions, lounging chairs, and a fireplace. Homes with young children may not be suitable for installation of Italian marble countertops that would be damaged by little fingers and crayons. Usually these top-of-the-line items are reserved for master bath suites. But many luxury elements are appropriate for any home.There are options ranging from family friendly to top of the line elegance when it comes to bathroom remodeling! Read below or contact Alcoa Construction about the leading choices for luxury and convenient bathrooms. Decide what you could do to really transform your bathroom from a utilitarian stop-off spot to a tranquil, elegant retreat. * Cabinets Custom cabinetry is designed to provide maximum storage, eye-appeal, and convenience. Tall cabinets on either side of the sink area offers bathroom remodelingeye-level storage for bathroom necessities. Electric plugs installed inside the cabinets help hide ugly appliance cords. Extra-deep drawers offer out-of-site storage for tall bottles.All of these are great carpentry ideas to consider when bathroom remodeling!Even a small bathroom will look larger with mirrored walls or cabinet doors. For a really elegant look, have the mirrors framed in gold- or silver-leaf frames. Both artificial light and natural light will be reflected and the room will be brighter.To add floor space to a narrow room, consider having cabinets cut shallower than usual, and bump out the counter area around the sinks. A pullman-style bathroom will look more interesting without a long, straight line of cabinets.bathroom remodelingIf your space has room, consider having the countertop installed at two heights when bathroom remodeling. The lowered area can serve as a dressing table. You might even have a whole wall of cabinets built in to store towels, rugs, and bathroom necessities. * Tile While many bathrooms have laminate or solid surface countertops, ceramic tiles of all shapes and styles are the choice of the day. For any variety of looks and durability, choose glass, ceramic, stone, or metal tilesEven in ceramic tiles, there are many painted or embossed styles to choose from. These are especially useful to create a border around an area, a chair rail design, or to frame a mirror or cabinet. You can also scatter hand-painted or embossed tiles at intervals on a wall to create texture and color. * The Bathroom Sink The elegant bathroom you’re designing will definitely need two sinks. You can place them next to each other on a long bathroom remodelingcountertop set atop a beautiful cabinet. Or block out a place on each side of the room for a single sink. Each person will be able to use their sink without rubbing elbows.Some redesigned bathrooms have the sink in front of a window to take advantage of the natural light. The traditional mirror is found, framed, on another wall.With extra floor space, you might select two elegant pedestal sinks in either traditional or contemporary designs. Using pedestal sinks will make the room more open, but not provide storage space. So be sure to have cabinets handy!Install a drop-in or hand-painted sink into a free-standing cabinet or chest. It will look like a separate piece of furniture. Or drop a custom-designed sink into a marble or solid-surface countertop for an elegant look.The newest look in bathroom sinks shows a large bowl mounted on the top of a bathroom counter. Artists and designers are using all sorts of material, such as marble, hand-blown glass, gold-leafed glass, or shiny metals. Before selecting a sink of this design, be sure that the height will be convenient to use and that the bowl will be safe. * Lighting By all means, get rid of that yellowed fan- heater-overhead light that’s hanging in the middle of your bathroom. First thing to go when bathroom remodeling!Lighting for a redesigned bathroom (and other rooms, as well) is more directed at work areas. Soft light for a soaking bath can be achieved with a wall dimmer connected to any lighting. Choose some beautiful wall sconces for either side of the mirror, a sparkling chandelier for overhead, or place a small table lamp on the counter or dressing table area when bathroom remodeling. * Mirrors Get rid of the large wall-size frameless mirror over your sink and replace it with a beautiful framed mirror. Choose frame molding to enhance your space. * Furniture For a really luxurious feel, bring a piece of furniture into the bathroom. A tall armoire or chest can hold towels and bathroom necessities. A bench or lounge chair provides a spot to relax. Any woman would love a real dressing table in the bath. Any piece of free-standing furniture in a bathroom softens the look and adds a custom touch to the space.Why not consider having a custom hutch built into your new project as well! The options are endless with bathroom remodeling! Addition Contractor in DE & MD, offering Hassle-Free Service.

Popular Kitchen Cabinet Trends

Fashionable SelectionsKitchen Remodeling

In today’s remodeling market there are endless choices when it comes to kitchen selections. One of the major improvements that comes with a kitchen remodel are cabinets. Many trends are available. Before deciding on the cabinets for your kitchen go through all of the cabinet options there are in today’s market. Contact a professional kitchen remodeler, like Alcoa Construction, for all of your kitchen remodeling needs and have them help you pick a style and function that you will come to love for years to come.

One of the most popular trends seen in kitchens today are floor to ceiling cabinets. This allows the kitchen tons of storage and shelving. This in turn is not only aesthetically pleasing but it solves the problem of lack of storage that many kitchens have. Another popular option is display space in the cabinets. Open shelving and door less cabinetry are becoming a favorite choice. This lets the homeowner display china and heirloom accessories. The combination of open faced cabinets and cabinets with doors breaks up the monotony in a kitchen and gives the home a charming affect.

When deciding to remodel your kitchen, efficiency should be one of the top priorities. This includes the efficiency within the cabinetry. Lazy Susans, roll out trays, bread boxes, hide in cabinets, storage pullouts, pull out drawers, attached shelves for pots and pans, recycling holders, garbage bins, racks for canned goods, and much more are all features that are homeowner friendly. They allow for great convenience and help keep the kitchen organized without the struggle of trying to reach items in the back of cabinets. Decide what your main wants and needs are and add efficient extras into your cabinetry during the kitchen remodel.

Another homeowner friendly convenience being included in cabinets is to actually add appliances into the cabinets. Blending the appliances into the look of the cabinets gives the kitchen a more uniformed and stylish appeal. By simply adding a cabinet facade panel to appliances, they take on the look of cabinetry instead of utilitarian appliances. Everything from dishwashers, trash compactors, ice makers, refrigerators, freezers, and even microwaves can be disguised. For smaller kitchen appliances like mixers, coffee makers, and toasters have built in doors added directly on the countertop that lift and swing up. This allows you to keep your daily used appliances right on the counter for convenience yet hide them for a clutter free beautiful kitchen.

Cabinetry shouldn’t stop at function. It has become very fashionable to have a good finish on the cabinets. Take the cabinets from mere wood to a work of art. Distressed finishes have gained popularity in the past couple of years. Crackled finishes and finishes that reveal the rough natural wood grain bring depth and richness to a kitchen with style. Another decorative element to keep in mind is color. Cabinetry today comes in a wide range of color choices. Maple is the most popular wood used in the construction of cabinets because it can be easily stained, painted, and altered. With the help of a kitchen remodeling contractor pick through the various techniques out there and create unique custom cabinets for your kitchen.

Non traditional arrangements of the cabinets also bring a decorative element and style to the kitchen. Staggered set ups create eye movement and provide a whimsical atmosphere. Create a height illusion by stair stepping the cabinets. This creates a very pleasing visual effect. Have upper cabinets installed directly on the countertop for more storage and to help better blend the kitchen.

A fun trend that has taken America by storm is installing cabinetry that has the look of furniture. This European influenced idea can include pieces that seem to be free standing but are actually attached cabinetry. Design cabinets that mimic hutches, pie safes, and even buffets. Top moldings assist in helping the theme carry on into an adjacent breakfast room.

For a lively kitchen have cabinetry accent pieces. Try adding bright pops of color to the kitchen through an island or cabinet the emphasizes a fun vibrant color.This livens a kitchen and provides a little excitement to what can often times become a mundane room of the house. An accent colored island is the most favored selection that homeowners today are choosing. Also try adding in different type of woods. This breaks the monotony in the kitchen and allows the homeowner to play with the mixing of woods in the kitchen. Try making the center island a completely different type of wood and add stools to give the island the look of a table versus an island itself.

A final trend that is very popular are embellishments. When home kitchen remodeling remember to include architectural design. Wood valances, under the counter corbels, mullioned doors, fancy feet on islands, commanding pilasters, arched openings, carvings, cut outs, molding, and even cornices all add emphasis to different aspects of the cabinetry. Architecturally designing the cabinetry allows the homeowner to give the kitchen a bold, finished, custom look that really reflects their style and personality.

It is best, and in the long run can save you both money and time, to hire a bathroom remodeling contractor, like Alcoa Construction of Delaware.

First, you need to meet with your contractor and figure out exactly what you want your bathroom remodel to achieve. The contractor will help you come up with solutions that will solve your bathroom needs and create the bathroom sanctuary that you are desiring.

Once your plan is in place it is time to start the actual remodel. The first thing that will happen is the basic demolition. This phase can include removing old tile, tearing out dated fixtures, and even knocking down walls. During demolition the basic structure of the bathroom is revealed. This is the time to replace any water or termite damage that may have occurred over the years. This is also an ideal time to expand your bathroom if need be.To create more room in a bathroom consider taking space from a closet. Knock out the wall and steal the space from a linen closet or even an unused bedroom.

When bathroom remodeling don’t be afraid to think outside of the box. Your old plumbing can most likely be easily rerouted. If the current bathroom setup doesn’t work for you or if you prefer a different layout then look into redoing your plumbing and achieving the bathroom you want.

Everything from wall color to cabinets to fixtures needs to be selected. The best option is to talk to a remodeling contractor and figure out exactly what design options fit your needs and style. To stay within a budget, yet retain luxury in your bathroom, consider going basic on certain aspects and then adding the upscale amenities in other areas of the bathroom. Another huge part of the design process is the flooring. Ceramic tile is the most popular choice for bathroom floors.
