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.

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.

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.

Kitchen Remodel – Cabinet Installation Phase

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

We have been blogging this project since the demolition phase.  The previous blogs have shown the demolition of the original space, the M.E.P. phases, and sheet rock installation.  Now that we have finished drywall and painted walls, Sitka is beginning to install the custom cabinet set that was specifically designed for this space. This custom cabinetry is comprised of natural maple interiors with solid poplar face frames, doors, drawers, and end panels.  This custom kitchen cabinetry is to be paint grade white with natural maple interiors, inset style of cabinetry, with shaker style doors, slab drawer fronts, and shaker style end panels.  Sitka always uses top of the line soft closing hardware throughout.   Our unique box construction gives our cabinetry rock solid stability.  Long face frame runs give Sitka Cabinetry a built in look that is not possible with modular style cabinetry.  When I showed up last Friday for a site visit the guys were beginning to install the upper cabinets, with the use of lasers we are able to ensure the levelness of our cabinetry which is essential to the door and drawer installation going smoothly. 

The project is really beginning to take shape.  In a couple more weeks it will be nearly complete.

Portland Kitchen Cabinet Remodel – Out with the Old, In with the New

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

The inside of the boxes on the left have been stained so they can have beautiful glass doors.

Sitka Projects, LLC took on a remodel of cabinetry in a residential kitchen.  Among the required conditions, it was requested to use the same layout of the original cabinetry but create more economic and useful space.  Using a lazy susan, roll out storage, and other modern amenities, the required space is accomplished.  As seen in the picture to the right, all access to the plumbing and electrical that had to be altered has now been covered up with a standard drywall patch so the cabinets can go against a smooth surface.  Texture has also been applied to match original texturing of the orange peel wall and hand brocade ceiling.

Once preparation is done, our skilled carpenters install the cabinet boxes that are composed of pre-finished maple interiors.  Upon request, some interiors are stained as seen in the picture to the left.  These cabinets are carefully installed making sure every door functions properly and all countertop space is level.  The progress is significant and the final product pictures are to come!
