Constructing a Man Cave or Game Room Following the 2014 Super bowl, did you question the space you hosted the event in? Was everyone crammed in, continually running to the fridge or complaining that they couldn’t hear the program? Now is the time to consider renovating this space. Whether it be converting the garage into a Man Cave or offering the kids a unique space of their own, this new room can be constructed to include all the luxuries of today’s new technologies. Hidden speakers under the drywall, rubber flooring, and Apps that your phone controls such as lighting and sound. Additional items when renovating to consider would be - 4 (or duplex) outlets or quads for those locations that have not only the TV but also Wii, Xbox and Playstation to plug in. - A separate entrance to this game room preferably with wider doors. - Concrete floors & textured walls. - A bar or kitchenette that contains a small fridge, sink, wine cooler, and don’t forget the ice maker! This renovated “Sports” room will be your home’s showcase! Vanco Construction provides high-quality renovation services with capabilities that complement each and every family member’s preference.

On a quiet cul-de-sac not too far from downtown San Luis Obispo lies the contemporary craftsman styled Clausen Residence. The challenges that accompanied this project were what, in the end, made it so interesting. The buildable area of the site is very small due to the fact that almost half of the property is occupied by a biological open space easement, established to protect the creek that runs behind the lot. In addition to this, the site is incredibly steep, which lent itself well to a stair stepped 3-story floor plan. Strict height restrictions set by the local jurisdiction governed the decision to bury the garage in the hill, and set the main living space on top of it, accompanied by the children’s bedrooms and game room further back on the site. The 3rd floor is occupied fully by the master suite, which looks down on the back yard below. Off of the great room is a vast deck, with built in barbecue, fire place and heaters, ideal for outdoor entertaining year round. The house, adorned in lap siding and true craftsman details is flanked by gorgeous oak trees and the creek beyond.

Artificial grass requires no mowing, watering, or fertilizing. Dog urine won't stain or discolor the artificial grass. Clean ups on artificial grass are easier than on natural grass. If you're tired of re-sodding year after year due to your dogs then consider an artificial grass dog run from PlushGrass. Additionally, your dog(s) won't track dust or mud into the house with an artificial lawn or dog run area.

These homeowners are well known to our team as repeat clients and asked us to convert a dated deck overlooking their pool and the lake into an indoor/outdoor living space. A new footer foundation with tile floor was added to withstand the Indiana climate and to create an elegant aesthetic. The existing transom windows were raised and a collapsible glass wall with retractable screens was added to truly bring the outdoor space inside. Overhead heaters and ceiling fans now assist with climate control and a custom TV cabinet was built and installed utilizing motorized retractable hardware to hide the TV when not in use. As the exterior project was concluding we additionally removed 2 interior walls and french doors to a room to be converted to a game room. We removed a storage space under the stairs leading to the upper floor and installed contemporary stair tread and cable handrail for an updated modern look. The first floor living space is now open and entertainer friendly with uninterrupted flow from inside to outside and is simply stunning.
