Completed Foundation



The foundation and drain system work is completed and we have moved onto framing the basement and building the new stairs. If feels good to have the basement "space" in and move on to making it part of the home. We have added several pictures to the album on our Facebook page.

Basement Addition Progress







We poured the final sections of the new foundation yesterday. It is a big milestone on these projects. I sleep better at night knowing that the house is on is permenant foundation once again. I've added several photos to our Facebook page album for the job. The next stage is building the drain system that will keep the basement dry. We are adding full drain under the entire floor. I'll post photos of the drain system this next week and talk about how it works.

Warmer Weather is on its way

The spring weather has kept the ground wet and prolonged the ski season and made for adventurous working conditions on our projects. It looks like warmer weather is going to prevail over the next few weeks and summer is on its way. The basement addition in Park City is moving along nicely. We will finish pouring the foundation this week and begin installing the drain system. We will add more pictures to our Facebook page later today. Other projects are also moving forward. We are building a large retaining wall and landscape in Springville, and will be starting a historic restoration on part of a home in Provo soon. We are also beginning the preliminary work on remodeling another home in Provo and adding an elevator. We appreciate your continued support and interest in our work and projects. If you have been thinking about starting your project we still have capacity to add additional work to our schedule and would be pleased to take care our your home building and remodeling needs. Thank you for your patronage and for all who have expressed their interest in our services. The first of our summer BBQ series is this Saturday April 23. The Address for the BBQ is 359 N 200 E American Fork, beginning at 1 pm. Several of you have already sent an RSVP and we appreciate all you who want to attend but have conflicting plans. We will have other events throughout the summer that are available to all our friends and clients and hope you can make it to some of them.

Progress on the Basement Addition

We have most of the basement excavated and started forming the fisrt sections of the new foundation walls. We will pour the fisrt sections today. Progress has moved along steadily hampered only a little by the spring weather. It has been a challenge to get remove the excavated soil with the ground outside so wet. I have added several photos of the progress to our Facebook Page. We will continue to add additional photos to the album on Facebook as we progress.

New Basement Addition


We are starting a new basement addition project in Park City. It's a unique process to add a basement to an existing home. We have added basements to homes several times now and are becoming specialists on foundation retrofits. We'll post some photos as the project progresses and let our readers in on the details.

We have found that we enjoy working on unique projects that are out of the ordinary and require unique problem solving to help our clients achieve their goals and dreams. As we progress with the project please feel free to ask questions or post comments.

Success,
Matthew Harper
