Deck and Porch Cover

Fresh new porch cover and deck Tigard, Oregon

We are nearly complete with this Tigard, Oregon porch cover and deck home improvement.  Inspections are going really well and our clients our really excited about the new addition to their home.  The lighting is in and will be shown in our next blog…..it looks fantastic at night!

Sitka Projects enjoys performing projects like these. As a General Contractor and a custom cabinet maker our goal is to perform projects where both of these skills come together to benifit the client and all parties involved.  With this being said even though there is no custom cabinetry……the same level of detail and precision is put into the production and general construction activities.  The details that are important to our clients are important to us and in constuction the detail is what counts.

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.

Kitchen Remodel with Custom Cabinetry Home Remodel Home Improvement

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.
