Key Improvements
Adam McCanna, co-founder of AIM Homes, shares his thoughts on the Birch St. project. “This project was a complete remodel of the interior and exterior,” he says. “We moved interior walls to create an open layout, relocated and added 3 bathrooms, created a master suite, finished the basement to add 2 bedrooms with egress windows, and a family room.” For the exterior, Adam said, “we included new windows, a new roof, painting of exterior trim, new sprinklers, and sod.”
The large ranch home in the desirable Park Hill neighborhood features original wood floors refinished in dark rich ebony, contrasting the new light and bright walls and trim. The living room features the original built in shelves around a gas fireplace. The floor plan is open and inviting with lots of natural light coming through the new double pane windows. The gorgeous kitchen is large, with lots of storage space, featuring SS appliances and beautiful granite counter tops. The custom white shaker cabinets are the backdrop and offer loads of storage space in the kitchen. The main level master bedroom and bathroom are light and airy, with a relaxing ambiance throughout. The fully finished basement features two additional bedrooms and a gorgeously renovated bath. The family room is the perfect place to spend time with the family around a cozy wood burning fireplace.
Obstacles
“Yes there were a few obstacles, as usual,” shared Adam, “but the project still ended up being successful for us.” However, one setback was that the city required a beam that was installed to be engineered during the framing inspection. “This stopped construction for 3 weeks while we waited to get an engineer out to the job site,” added Adam.
Another great learning experience that Adam shares involves working with subcontractors. “We need to hold our subs more accountable,” he says, “and if they don’t show up to do the work when they say they will, we need to move to more reliable subs quicker.” The project did go approximately two months longer than planned, with both the beam inspection and underperforming subs contributing to the extended timeline.
