Building a home for this dynamic family was a true joy! Cook Construction was brought on to fix the mistakes of two previous GC’s and get them out of the extremely frustrating situation they found themselves in. Although a delicate and daunting task to take on the homeowner alone made the entire process worth it. This full scale, four-story, re-build home boasts it all; bold, contemporary, interior design from San Francisco’s finest, radiant heat throughout, high lacquer paint finishes, custom iron railings spanning all floors of the open staircase and a finished attic with 360 views to create the ultimate getaway/workspace.

This 1790 farmhouse had received an addition to the historic ell in the 1970s, with a more recent renovation encompassing the kitchen and adding a small mudroom & laundry room in the ’90s. Unfortunately, as happens all too often, it had been done in a way that was architecturally inappropriate style of the home. We worked within the available footprint to create “layers of implied time,” reinstating stylistic integrity and un-muddling the mistakes of more recent renovations.

In addition to building new custom-designed homes and remodeling projects, we sometimes take unusual jobs. These are jobs that sometimes require a little extra care and creativity in order to get them done. We had one such job this past summer at a home in Marion. An older couple with a very nice home had a problem with a balcony. The balcony was rotting and falling off of the side of the house. The previous builder did not use treated lumber and made the mistake of wrapping the untreated wood with aluminum. This is a mistake because instead of protecting the wood from moisture, the aluminum wrap holds water against the wood and causes it to rot much faster. In fact, even though it had not rained for a couple of weeks, we found that the wood was still wet. In some places, I could take my hands and pull the wet blackened wood apart with my fingers. I forgot to take pictures of the old balcony before we tore it off. This is what it looked like after we removed the old balcony. You can see that the balcony was originally built as a part of the second floor system. Longer joists were placed in the second floor. Those longer joists stuck out past the brick and formed the floor of the old balcony. Before they rotted and were torn off, the boards stuck out through the holes in the bricks. Photo by Shawn Jack.
