When the owners of this home called the first week of October, 2007 and said they were ready to proceed with their 1800 square foot addition to their home in Arcata, all hands at Pacific Builders cast a wary eye at the calendar and the weather reports.
The addition and remodeling required that more than half the existing roof structure of the 3300 square foot home be removed to accommodate the new second story-all while the family, including the baby, continued to live in the less affected portions of the house.
Over the next six weeks, as many as twelve carpenters worked 10 hour days, including Saturdays, in a rush to get the house secure from the impending fall rains. In the end, the job was “weathered in”, with only one day with any significant leakage. Interior repairs due to weather damage were limited to some minimal water stains on the downstairs ceiling and small drywall touch up.
Completed work includes the new master bedroom suite, with fireplace, the two additional bedrooms and the new bonus/media room.
