Here’s a basement and stairwell remodel we finished up this summer. The existing steps had steep rise and a short tread. They have a young child and they were not safe for adults, much less a child. Nothing about the stairwell met current building code.
We removed straight stairwell and added a landing, raised the ceiling height, made stairs code compliant, removed full wall at top of stairs, built half wall and made an open stairwell. New paint job in basement and stairwell.
We framed some new walls, added a full bath, closet, grinder pump to move waste to discharge line, new COREtec flooring, trim, new Anderson patio door.
We also added two additional 6”x6” posts on concrete tube footings for additional support on sunroom. Supported existing structure and replaced existing post footings, to ensure their sunroom foundation stays 💪.
