This circa 1770 Standish Shores home has had some additions over the years and this picture is from the early 1900's |

Our challenge and problem here was that the kitchen and the 3/4 bath wing pictured here had a roof system that was sagging dangerously from years of snow load and inadequately sized rafters. We brought our clients to our architect who then designed blueprints that both corrected the sagging roof dilemma and added a brand new covered porch area to enter the house. |
| Inside this rear entry door we were able to shift walls to allow a stacked space saver laundry to be brought from the basement to the first floor and gain a can pantry and hanging closet area. |

With renovations in full swing and all tradesmen working on site, we determined that, by incorporating some recently acquired space from underneath the new overhang, the new 3/4 bath could be enlarged into a standard, full sized tub and shower. The results were superb. |
| Next, we addressed minor window changes as well as updates in electrical service and lighting needs, and then added insulation for warmth and efficiency. Finally, the installation of siding for additional warmth and beauty has made this area the focal point of everyday living for our clients. |  |
