Our Friends in Burnaby Are Once Again Happy HomeownersπŸ‘πŸ› οΈβœ¨

The Challenge: The old original drainage had a cut out and grate right at the base of the door to pick up excess water from the stairs. It was too close to the door meaning a high risk of flooding. The slab was also quite worn and cracked due to the amount of water underneath which would expand in the colder temperatures further damaging the slab. Furthermore, when we broke out the old slab, we found a granite boulder right where our new drainage would go! Our mission was to ensure lasting functionality.

Fiber Concrete: We used micro synthetic fiber concrete to reinforce the base, ensuring strength and durability for years to come. This was required to help strengthen the concrete especially in areas where it was thinner (above the drain pipe). We also underpinned all concrete to the walls and stairs and added a good base of 3/4 gravel to allow water to make its way to the drain tile.

Enhanced Drainage: The new drainage system not only adds functionality but also protects against water damage and ensures a dry, secure basement. We raised the slab in order to have it correctly sloped to the new trough drain away from the door which also has adequate sloping to the drain tile.

The Result: A solid slab with proper drainage that enhances the safety of the home. Our client couldn't be happier!

New Windows for our North Vancouver Project 🏑πŸͺŸ

The Challenge: The old upper window swing-outs were causing damage as they were too large and swung right into the eaves. These old windows also lacked energy efficiency being that they were single pane, old wooden frames, and some even had broken hardware & could not be sealed closed. They were in need of a modern upgrade.

-Styling Preserved: We kept the classic styling of muntin bars while introducing energy-efficient double-pane windows with a thermal break. Not only do the new windows provide energy savings, but they also maintain the timeless aesthetic of the property.

-Enhanced Efficiency: The new windows, with their vinyl frames and double-pane glass, offer superior energy efficiency, reducing heat loss and enhancing comfort.

4 more windows to go and then we begin on exterior/interior finishing!

Our Maple Ridge Masterpiece. 🚿🏑

Just look at the transformation of the bathroom for our Maple Ridge project from start to finish. From the white mosaic tile floor to the custom shower. To the stunning vanity and the linen closet tower, this space has an all new life. The vanity and linen closet were made in our very own cabinet shop and made to match the kitchen & living room built-ins. The cabinetry adds ample storage and makes for a space where luxury meets functionality. 🏑

It's Window Wednesday...or is it? Really we just wanted an excuse to show off these 3 new vinyl windows installed at our Maple Ridge project. New fascia trims were installed to complete. Now there is not only added natural light for the office, gym, and mechanical room, but also added character to the exterior facade πŸͺŸβœ¨.

Remember this project we did for our friends in Port Coquitlam where we completed a full ceiling vault installing a new engineered beam & post along with new 2x10 rafters? 2nd photo is of the "before" There was a lot more to do! The chimney was brought down and the flooring removed.

The living room floor was significantly out of level, high at the center and perimeter ("W" shaped). A lot of shimming of the floor joists followed by a double layer laminated subfloor resulted in a new and level floor. Next came the building of a water table and sealing of the torch-on of the deck to the newly framed rough opening for a new patio slider door.

Our project in Maple Ridge was not just limited to the interior, but also included installation of new septic tank with plumbing to a built up existing septic field. A huge thank you to Woodland Dirt and Snow Solutions with their assistance on this!
