This porch addtion was added after a complete demo of the old structure. PHB Construction found the existing structure rotted, overspanned and undersupported. A new living space was framed in and added in it's place. The new porch was made to code, a hip roof added for proper drainage, rot proof exterior material, seamless gutters and knotty pine ceiling gave this new addition a spectacular renovation.

 

This bathroom remodel was done in winter of 08'. The existing bathroom was completely gutted to the studs. New drywall, sub floor and heating ducts were installed. A whirlpool tub was added with a custom glass block wall. 16" tile was included in a spiral pattern throughout the bathroom as well as a new vanity and water closet.

 

This 1940’s milk barn was renovated in spring of 09'. This barn was neglected for years and had many issues to bring to code. The second floor was immediately removed as well as the windows. A new main beam was installed to allow a 24' clear span on the first floor and support a new upper deck. A garage door opening was cut along with new window openings. Board and batten siding was added with white Hardie board accents. All fascia was wrapped and new soffit included to make this barn a showpiece.

 

New addition remodel was added in winter of 2008. The new space included a mudroom hallway and bathroom. Custom floor tile, heated in the bathroom and woodwork was added throughout the entire addition.  Cherry medicine chests and bathroom base cabinets was topped with his and hers porcelain sinks and premium laminate counter top. Shower was tiled with subway tiles and glass accents over a new Kohler cast iron tub.

We were called after 8 years of fixes and leaks in a sitting room under a flat roof. Complete removal of old plaster and insulation was commenced with our dust free system. The upper flat roof system was removed and discarded, new R-30 insulation was added with reflective rigid insulation panels, old door and sidelights were removed on the second floor, a water and ice shield were incorporated for the first waterproofing layer and a 15 year guaranteed membrane was installed over all completing the water proofing. The door and sidelights were rebuilt and a new screen door was added. Underneath new drywall and crown molding was installed followed by two fresh coats of paint.

 

PHB Construction was called to install a suspended ceiling during Christmas break in winter of 09’. This was a job to bring a Sparta middle school up to fire code before the kids came back from vacation. Edging was installed into cement block and new energy efficient lights were set in the grid pattern producing a safe, brighter and fresh upgrade.

 

We are more than happy to come out and do a small repair. This soffit repair was done after a wind storm blew out a section of soffit. The metal fascia was replaced and the new soffit installed.

 

Like so many in the past summer of '09 PHB Construction was called to a water damaged basement. The drywall was damaged and moldy 2' up around the perimeter of the basement bedroom. With our dust free system we contained the area with plastic and created negative air. The old water damaged drywall and insulation was removed and replaced with new moisture resistant wallboard and fiberglass insulation. The drywall was then finished to blend with the existing drywall.

 

PHB Construction was hired to repair and texture a Grand Rapids homes ceilings. The 9' ceilings contained many cracks that detracted from the homes beautiful interior. The work included totally containing the work area in plastic for lead safe work practices. The ceiling cracks were filled, floated, sanded and primed. Afterwards the texture was applied in the requested swirl pattern to the rooms.

 

Sometimes a basement already has the drywall hung but not finished. This was the case in our latest basement remodel. We do not recommend hanging the drywall before calling us as it is cheaper for us to finish it if we hang it do to our experience in this area. This homes basement was part of the way there but was never finished. It took PHB Construction LLC three days to mud, finish and give a coat of primer to all the walls and ceiling. The kids now have a place to watch video games and TV while the parents just increased the homes resale value tremendously.
