A Seamless Addition
Friday, June 21st, 2024
It’s an age-old problem many of our clients face. You love your home and your location. Moving sounds like a nightmare, or you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for on the market. But, you need more space. Maybe your growing family is bursting at the seams or you desire more space for entertaining. An addition seems like the perfect solution, but you’ve seen one too many bad home additions or you just don’t know what’s possible.
When considering an addition to your home, it’s essential to work with a skilled builder and design team to ensure the new structure integrates seamlessly with the original house. At McCamy Construction, we specialize in creating additions that look as though they were always part of the home, combining superior craftsmanship with tailored design services. Our recent project, an outdoor space addition for a family home, is a testament to our expertise in this area.
Old Ties and New Additions
Having lived in their home since 2019, our clients had initially focused on renovating the interior and enhancing their landscaping. Over time, they envisioned adding more living and entertaining space, ultimately deciding on a screened-in porch. This addition would provide a comfortable and versatile area for both family gatherings and entertaining guests.
The clients’ decision to work with McCamy Construction was influenced by a longstanding relationship with our founder, Sam McCamy. Our team had previously assisted them in evaluating an addition for their previous home, leaving a positive impression with our helpfulness and innovative ideas.
Dream Team
Throughout the project, our team ensured smooth progress with regular updates and open communication. “The McCamy team was great to work with. We received regular updates on the progress and next steps. Everyone was always available to talk through ideas. They helped work through the inevitable challenges with creativity and attention to our needs,” reflects the client.
The best part of the collaboration, according to our clients, was the efficient design selection. In one meeting with McCamy’s interior designer, they completed the design and finish selections. These meetings streamline the process, preventing delays often caused by indecision over materials and colors.
Our clients emphasized the importance of making the addition appear as if it had always been part of the house. Ashley, our interior designer, guided them in selecting finishes that matched the existing home, achieving a harmonious look. Her expertise was instrumental in maintaining the aesthetic continuity, ensuring the new space felt integrated and natural.
A Flexible Approach
During construction, the clients decided they needed additional space after evaluating the footer placements. Although the project faced delays due to the engineer and City processes, our team pushed through. “Grant and the team were pleasantly persistent to get the paperwork done in a reasonable amount of time,” the client bragged.
Right at Home
Completed shortly after Thanksgiving, the new screened-in porch quickly became a beloved part of the home. The family enjoys the space daily, from morning coffees to family dinners, and even during milder winter days thanks to the fireplace. The quality and design have exceeded their expectations, with the addition seamlessly blending into the existing structure and feeling like it was meant to be there all along.
“We are thrilled with how the design came together. It feels like it has always been part of the house and the addition flows nicely with the existing space. The quality of work is amazing with the details and finishing making the space feel warm and inviting.”
They highlight the importance of having an experienced contractor who communicates effectively and navigates challenges efficiently. With McCamy Construction, they achieved a high-quality addition that enhances their home’s functionality and beauty.
