NE PDX Home Addition-Remodeled Kitchen: Beautiful Results and Happy Clients!

 

The new addition provides a spacious kitchen with sky lights and french doors providing natural lighting.

 

We just finished the home addition onto this 1914 Beaumont Neighborhood bungalow. A complete tear off of the back of the home resulted in a spacious remodeled kitchen with french doors leading to the new covered deck and back yard. The Master Bedroom also was remodeled with more space and windows.  The Kitchen flooring is cork, and our custom cabinet craftsman created the cherry cabinets throughout. Our clients were very hands on with selection of the Brazilian granite countertops and wanted pieces with character. They were also instrumental in selecting the stone look for the masonry work that concealed the existing chimney.

 

The Brazilian Granite and tile selections complement each other. The windows provide tons of light and bring in the greenery for a peaceful view.

Our clients were immediately drawn to this piece of Brazilian Granite… Feeling it resembles a pop star recently passed..do you see it?

We also want to share the Client Review we received from the home owners:

“We had been dreaming and planning for our kitchen remodel for 12 years and when it came time to find a contractor we were extremely nervous about trusting someone with such a large scale project.  We were introduced to Right Arm Construction by a friend who highly recommended them.  Even in our first meeting we knew that Arent was someone we liked and felt comfortable with in embarking on the dramatic transformation of our home.  Arent is not just a talented craftsperson but also a very kind and decent person.  He has an impeccable eye for detail and will not take any shortcuts in the project that he is working on.  Our kitchen, bedroom and deck are beautiful and embody all of our wishes for each space.

Arent and his team encountered some issues with our house, built in 1914, that included very uneven floors.  They were able to resolve the issues to build our new space on level floors.  Arent kept us informed of any issues, resolution options and additional costs as we went through the process so there were no surprises at the end of the project.  The additional costs were primarily due to our own changes in design or issues that arose during the process due to the age of the house.

We both work full time, so we were not home very much during the process.  Arent and his crew treated our home like a home and not a job site.  Each day they cleaned up after themselves and always made sure that things were safe and secure.  Trust is very important with a long remodeling project and we never had to worry about our home while we were at work.

Arent designed the deck and deck cover himself and it is spectacular, he spent his own time researching the best material to use for the deck cover and the result far surpasses our expectations.  We heartily recommend Right Arm Construction for any remodeling project and consider Arent and his crew not just our contractors but our friends.

Sincerely,

Vinnie And Lisa Bargas”
