Major Progress In Rehab

This project is moving quickly! The concrete masons are about finished with the entry ways front and side, stairs in the front, the retaining wall by the street.  The inside has all the new windows in place, the insulation and the sheet rock is next.  Come back soon to see the progress!

Bricks, Accent Color and Inspections, Oh My!

The brick masons are finishing up the exterior, the black gutters are in place.  The accent color is different on purpose.  We are looking for feedback on the color.  What do you think?

Once the electrical and plumbing inspections are complete, the interior will take shape.  Hopefully, in a few weeks it will be ready to show.

End of Second Week of Renovation

Let it rain! The roof is on, the soffits have the accent color, the white gutters will be replaced with black gutters in a couple of days. The upstairs plumbing for the bathroom and the laundry is ready for the inspectors. The stairway has been replaced. The project is moving on entering the 3rd week!

Rehab Progress Already Very Visable

Take a look! Lots of progress everyday! The front of the house is more inviting everyday. Framing continues both downstairs and upstairs, some of the new windows are in, the bathtub is placed in downstairs bathroom.
The upstairs has the bathroom, laundry room, closet framed.
More tomorrow on the progress!

Almost 1 Week Into The Rehab

Less than 1 week in to the rehab, everything is beginning to take shape.  The front entry is framed, the roof is a few days from getting shingles, the retaining wall in the front by the street is in place waiting for the finishing stone work.  Check back in a couple of days.

Another Day Of Progress

Follow along over the last few days to see the progress. With the rehab underway, you can see how quickly the project unfolds. Check out the front door entry way, before and after demolition. Due to the damage from being exposed to the elements for more than 2 years, all the interior walls were taken back to the studs to replace the damaged areas. The commitment is to restore the architecture to the previous look of the house and keep it blended into the neighborhood. In spite of all the challenges, you can almost hear the house give a sign of relief.

Rehab Underway

The work of rehabbing the home for sale at 495 Daniel Ave, Decatur, GA 30032 has begun.

Demolition is underway and new a concrete finish was applied to the exterior stairs. The tree that fell on the home and caused all the damage

This 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom wreck will be transformed into a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with all the best materials.

What was an eye sore to the neighbors is about to become the envy of the block.

Hold on for the ride…

Behind The Scenes Story

When you see how this house looks now, you see a wreaked house.

A huge tree fell on this house in January 2008. At the time, the home owner was in the house with 7 grandchildren.

Thankfully, no one was hurt but when they left that night, they only returned to pick up a few things. Their homeowner’s insurance had lapsed so the house has not been fixed up.

If you can see past the shambles, you can see this was a wonderful house that had been a good home to the owner for 37 years. Other family lived on the same street for many years.

Watch as the rehab begins and this house will have a happy ending!
