This project was the addition of a completely new second story over an existing home. The homeowners also elected to stay in their home during construction, a challenge successfully met by hard work by our staff and trade partners, a well-designed plan by architect Tom Doughty, and helpful input from the owners during planning and construction. Work began the day after Labor Day 2007, and the second story structure was installed, weather-tight, in four working days. Total construction time was forty-three working days.
 
Day One - Removal of the existing roof Day Two - The second floor deck is leveled and built. Plumbers and heating/AC contractor run necessary lines before sub-floor is laid.

Day Three - All exterior walls framed and set in place. Day Four - Trusses set, and roof sheeted and shingled. The door opening is a temporary lengthening of a future window, and was used for access to the work area to keep dust and debris out of the lower level during the majority of construction.

This project satisfied the owners’ desires for more room in a small lakeside dwelling. The lot size precluded expanding outward. The architect’s solution involved upgrading all mechanical features, adding a bonus room and replacing the windows and siding as well as the roof.

These photos illustrate the bonus room and show how the architect provided a large viewing window overlooking the lake. A small porch was added for lakeside relaxation. Interior features include a greatroom with a furnace-rated gas fireplace, which can heat the whole structure. The loft area adds 150 square feet of bedroom space.

A total rebuild of a cottage on Conesus Lake. This entailed removal of the entire roof section and front wall and replacement of the original roof rafters, with a cathedral ceiling truss on the front part of the structure and an attic truss for storage on the back part. At the same time, all the obsolete, single-glass windows were replaced with low-E argon-filled Pella units. Thirty-five-year architectural roof shingles and vinyl siding completed the job. This project was completed in 2-1/2 weeks from start to finish.
