Harper Renovation Case Study

For the Harper residence, Kingsford provided a full exterior renovation, resulting in a finished product that looked like a whole new house.

We started by removing all of the existing T111 siding from the home, along with all of the existing windows. Our expert crew then carefully inspected all of the home’s wood, repairing and replacing all damaged and soft wood that was found. We also installed new insulation into the house’s walls, as well as new windows with perimeter prairie grids.

Next, we removed the home’s old garage door and replaced it with a brand-new insulated garage door that will help keep the Harper’s garage cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Then, we turned to demoing the home’s rear deck and front stoop, including the removal of the front door and half-round window. We installed a new front door with sidelites and framed a new wall above the front door in place of the removed half-round window. Afterward, we installed a new composite front stoop onto the home, which will last for decades without rotting or needing to be painted. We used Versetta Stone around the front door and front gable’s lower section to give that premium stone look.

Finally, we installed shakes and siding with wide-band board for the design and separation of the new siding. The Harpers were left with a completely updated appearance that transformed the look of their home. Kingsford provided a lifetime warranty on all of the materials and workmanship we furnished.

Coons Addition Case Study

For the Coons residence addition project, Kingsford built a new 20-by-30-foot room onto the back of the home in place of the existing deck. The resulting room provides wraparound views of the wooded back yard with four-season comfort and full electrical, lighting, and its own new HVAC zone with dedicated thermostat.

We began the project by demoing the existing deck to clear the way for the construction of a new all-brick foundation with crawl space. We then cut back the roof overhang to tie in the room’s new roof. After that, we built a treated-frame structure for the new room and installed the wraparound windows and flashing.

Next, we demoed the existing exterior wall, including windows, doors, and bay window, to open up the interior space into the new addition. We created a landing to extend the kitchen and provide a new dining area.

Then, we insulated the new exterior walls, and built the new ceiling and floor up to NC building codes. After that, we installed sheetrock to the new walls and ceiling, along with full electrical to code and new can lighting throughout the addition. Next, we painted the new sheetrock and installed ceramic tile flooring along with new steps, trim, and interior railings.

Finally, we installed a separate heat pump and new ductwork for the addition, tied to its own, dedicated thermostat for precise control and outstanding efficiency. Kingsford provided a lifetime warranty on all of the materials and workmanship with furnished.
