Balducci Remodeling is a Home Additions Company in Richmond VA
When the owners of this early 1900s home told us what they had in mind, we knew there would be challenges. But we love requests that put our architecture, design, building, and planning Home Addition skills to the test.
Our task was to construct a two-story Home addition to the rear of the house, including a master bedroom suite upstairs and a kitchen/family room downstairs. A major part of the home addition job was re-working an existing HVAC system and adding another heat pump. Tie-ins were extremely difficult and time consuming, but our builders did a wonderful job right on schedule. We turned the old kitchen into a mud room and an existing window into a new exterior door. Now, striking white cabinets are the focal point of the kitchen, set off beautifully by smooth, dark granite and stainless steel appliances. A massive island juxtaposed with cozy breakfast nook and soft blue paint work gorgeously together. The master bedroom is an oasis with 460 square feet, walk-in closets, and luxurious attached bath. Although there was plenty of complex framing required including an old stairwell, and fairly tight working conditions, we made the owner’s vision a reality. In fact, we’ve heard that the back of the house, with its six bay windows and architectural touches, looks good enough to be the front.
Is Richmond even more beautiful than before? We certainly think this home addition spruced up a beloved old neighborhood. More importantly, its owners are loving their historic home again. There’s no need to lose the character of a home to make it delightfully livable again.
