We have had this project in the planing stage for about the last year. The owner and I are very excited to see it finally kicked off!  The owners have been fantastic to work with we really couldn’t ask for much more.  We have a fantastic remodel during what should be the slower part of the year and well planed remodel at that!  Allot about how well a project goes is how much effort is put into the planning and the working relationship between the owner, contractor, and architect.  We have started building Sitka Custom Cabinetry for this new space as Sitka General Construction makes it’s way through the demolition and begins to bring in the specialty trades needed.

More to come!

This project was really fun to build!  The owner is an architect and really drove the design of this project.  With a new addition coming to our clients family this hip new contemporary room will serve as very functional space for the new baby and mother.

The cabinetry is mahogany with 3 stage finish, slab style doors, and European style box construction.  The framing of the new room consists of steel studs and wood backing for the track assembly supporting the sliding door system. We actually had to cut the studs into the existing flooring.  The existing flooring was protected and preserved as part of the new design. We had added electrical circuits, fire sprinklers, and HVAC return ducting added to the space by our team of professionals.  The inside of the room is fairly modest with built-in cabinetry style closet and a Murphy bed ganged together to give cool look that matches the cabinetry throughout the rest of the space.  The glass re-light picks up allot of light from the rest of the condo and gives the room a more open feel.

The owner is really enjoying the new space and is thrilled with our work and craftsmanship.  We’ll get some pro photos posted in our gallery when we get them.

Addition, remodel, Tigard Oregon, Covered porch tie-in

I just stopped by to take a look at the progress and was pleased to see the decking portion of this project complete and some post wrap being installed.  This addition will look like it was part of the original construction.  I really love the look of fresh cedar! Notice the finish carpentry includes mitered corners at the bench and how closely the planks are notched out for the bench support.  The Sitka team is doing a fantastic job of creating the owner’s vision.   Electrical work is coming up so we can close up the soffit.  Stay tuned for more progress and a finished project.

Oven run, stainless steel backsplash, inset cabinetry, soapstone countertop

This brand new kitchen was delivered to the owners the day before Thanksgiving.  The new owner’s used it to cook a Thanksgiving feast for 11 people! The kitchen performed flawlessly and the owner’s are very pleased with how things have turned out. I met with our clients this morning to perform a punch walk, it went very well.  The owner’s and I formulated a small hand full of very minor items that the Sitka team will be out tomorrow to take care of.

We are especially proud of this complete kitchen remodel due to the unique space constraints and trim arrangements.  All in all the custom cabinetry fit like a glove and the owner’s can enjoy a lifetime of use.  SitkaCustom Cabinetry is to last generations, look and feel spectacular, along with operating perfectly. Thank you to our Sub Contractors; Steele Electric, Parallax Mechanical, Rose City Plumbing,  Integrity Painting, Precision Counter tops, McCoy Mill-work, Crosscuts and others.

Steel Railing for Porch Stairs

Kitchen Remodels is a specialty for Sitka Projects along with any other project may it be exterior or interior. We took on a porch remodel at a Beaverton residence recently and created custom stair to the owner’s specifications. One of the signature pieces for the stairs was the railing installed. This steel railing was custom fabricated to fit perfectly within the confines of the previously constructed stairs. The owner was very happy with the ending product and the railing was also solid enough to assist in climbing the stairs.

Porch Post Replacement and Stairs

These types of jobs take a lot of planning and communication with owner to get exactly what they want. It may be a small detail but Sitka will focus on every aspect of the project and prevail at the end as the contractor who can deliver.

Porch/Roof Addition

Many projects can be seasonal due to the nature of residential homes. Home Additions can come down to last minute details of a thermal layer that just needs to be done before the weather. Our seasoned professionals are ready for that challenge and step-in to get the job done. Home Remodeling such as this project we currently took on required timely delivery of a roof for the addition which had been almost completed. Due to the time of the season, there was a small window of opportunity to get it done because of inclement weather.

Tying Into Original Home

It is crucial to have the thermal layer on any addition or remodel before any interior work is performed. This prevents any damage to existing or new electrical work, insulation, etc. In this situation penetration of the home had to occur in order to build the roof structure over the backside of the home.

Cedar bench built into the framing of the deck

We have installed the roof on this covered porch and the deck is starting to come to life.  This Tigard Oregon home improvement is coming along nicely.  Today we are working on pouring a concrete landing pad and building some stairs for the deck.  We will continue this week with a decorative post and beam wrap on the covered porch along with some electrical work so we can install our soffit material.  Painting of the covered porch will most likely be postoned a bit due to weather.  However Sherwin Williams does carry a product called Resiliance that is made for higher moisture and colder conditions, most likely we will be using that.

Deck and porch cover under construction

Before porch cover construction

The Sitka Team has
cleared the existing trees and shrubbery from the site and has prepared the it for
construction.  Some minor grading wasrequired along with some extensive digging to make sure the area was ready for the new construction.

We are constructing a new porch cover with an integrated deck. The deck and porch cover have been something homeowners have wanted for years and the Sitka team is happy to be constructing it for them. The design ideas came from the owner’s vision and so far it is really coming together. We did have a hang up at the beginning of the project regarding the post placement but have worked through it providing the correct solution.

Sitka Projects is the general contractor on the project meanwhile self-performing the carpentry
work.  The cedar deck is starting to take
shape with some fine finish carpentry work.
The rough carpentry and initial set up has lent itself to an excellent
fit and finish.  We have our electricians
coming in next week to install can lighting in the soffit of the porch cover
along with some exterior flood lights.  More to come!
