Week 3 completed of the 18 x 36 addition that includes a sitting room, master suite with vaulted ceiling, walk in closet and master bathroom. O.C.S. along with help from Hartz Construction ( Troy Hartz ), over the course of three weeks took this project from a completed crawl space foundation up to almost completion. At this point, the exterior is complete with exception of gutters and final grading (grading/site work done by NScott Proprty Maintenance). The interior has been through the inspection process for rough framing, rough electrical, rough plumbing, and insulation, all of which passed with no problems. Drywall was hung and got its first coat today. Once drywall finish work is complete, its off to some tile work, buttoning up bathroom, flooring and trim. Not too far from being completed and so far the build has moved along very smooth and steady without any major issues. Will post more pictures once this project is all done.

Just wrapped up a new front entry door installion. This one was a bit of a mess since builder didn't flash properly behind concrete steps. Once the old door was removed it was clear there was significant water damage to the rim board of the home. I had to open up the walls around and below door to remove all the rotted wood and replace. Once that was complete, a new ThermaTru pre-finished fiberglass door was installed. A Larson full view storm door along with new pilasters and cross head by Fypon finish off the exterior on the door. Overall, super happy with the end result.

Addition progress for framing week 1, OCS with the help of Hartz Construction ( Troy Hartz ). We got the structure framed, windows/doors installed, and water tight prior to the rains that came for the weekend. The roof is shingled to match existing on house. I forgot to get a picture of the finished roof, so these pictures show ice shield and roofing underlayment. Next step, rough in electrical and plumbing to get ready for inspections of the framing, electrical and plumbing. Than off to insulation and drywall. We are moving at a nice pace all the while paying attention to details. Once rough in work is done, I'll post a video showing interior.

Building 18 x 36 addition and the rain was coming the following day. OConnor Construction Services, with the help of Hartz Construction ( Troy Hartz ) and material take off and delivery from AD Moyer Lumber, got the structure framed and made a make shift tarp roof to keep all that new wood dry. After this rain passes it's on to the roof structure to get the room water tight. It was a long day to get this structure up and protected. The last thing we wanted was this new build soaking in water. It's details like this and caring about your work and client that set apart good contractors vs contractors that are just there for the money. More pictures to come as the project progresses.

This deck just received a facelift with Trex Lineage in the color Jasper and secured using Trex Nylon Hidden Fasteners. Unfortunately, it is only about 5 years old and an inferior pvc wrapped deck board was used by previous deck builder. It delaminated and needed to be replaced. While the decking was off, the frame was gone over, some rotted boards replaced, steps were rebuilt, and joist tape was added for protection. The railing is Trex Signature Aluminum Rail in black. Overall, very happy with the finished product.

This basement was just concrete walls 5 weeks ago, now it is a usable space with full bathroom and workshop. It is framed with metal studs, fully insulated, drywall finished and ready for primer and paint and has Aqua Guard 12mm waterproof laminate flooring. All lighting is led for longevity and cost savings.

The back area of the mechanical/storage area is a workshop with extra lighting and has finished walls.

O.C.S. completed this project to the point where the homeowner will take over to paint and set up the workshop.

The bathroom has a 32" x 60" tiled shower, full glass sliding doors, 13" square tile on floor, led lighting, and a 24" vanity.

The finished area of the basement is about 700 square feet, adding a nice amount of livable space to the existing home. Overall, very happy with the finished product.

This master bathroom received a nice update. The shower stall is the same shape but was enlarged to make for more room. A double niche was also added above the bench, which replaced the old glass shelving. New shower controls were installed and a hand held sprayer was added. The main floor recieved new natural stone. Glass door and painting being done next week to complete the makeover.

The tile on the wall is 4 x 12, the shower pan is a mosaic hexagon stone in a 12 x 12 mat, and the main floor is 12 x 24. All edges of the stone are polished and there is no need to use metal edge trim.

Between the walls and floor, when using natural stone, special attention needs to go towards the prep and install. Natural stones are softer and the floor needs to meet minimum deflection requirements so the stones do not crack. Also, these stones need 100% coverage of thinset(glue). They are also tricky to install because of the square edges, it takes time and patience to get everything even and flat. Finally, these stones are heavy and about a 1/2" thick, so laying them is labor intensive. But...the final result doesn't disappoint!!!

The original upper was built by OCS back in 2018 and last year a pool was added. So, to connect them, a new deck was built with a ramp to accommodate wheel chair acces. The new deck is a pressure treated deck that is screwed down. The railing on the existing deck was updated from pressure treated railing to black Trex Select railing. That same railing is also on the new deck. To meet code and add security, a locking gate was installed at the top of the ramp so no kiddos can get in the pool unexpectedly. The homeowner is having the entire deck stained in about 2 months, after new deck dries out, so everything will match nicely. Overall, very happy with the end result.

Out with the old and in with the new! Brand new fresh build of this deck which features 12" on center joist framing for added support, Trex Select decking in Wh***ey Barrell, RDI vinyl railing and white pvc fascia and stair risers. Hidden fasteners are used for a clean look.

Unfortunately when I tore the old deck down, improper flashing from the deck built by the builder created a significant amount of water damage. Removal of the siding was required and several sheets of exterior sheathing had to be replaced. Once that was repaired, proper flashing was installed so the wall was ready for the installation of the deck.

Overall, the finished product looks great and the homeowner will get many many years of enjoyment out of their outdoor living space.
