Wednesday, May 7, 2014 Westlawn Project - 2014 Total Home Remodel - Mar Vista, CA WESTLAWN REMODEL PROJECT In January 2014, THB Construction initiated a home remodeling project of a late 1940's two story residence in Mar Vista, CA. As the project unfolded, several hidden structural and leaking roof problems came to light. With the approval of the clients, all of these issues and concerns were appropriately addressed and corrected, returning the home to its former sound structure. The entire home, garage/patio and landscape was remodeled in one form or another as you will note in the "before & after photographs". This project was a complete makeover that addressed, updated, restored or replaced significant portions of the home. The 1st level bathroom was reconfigured and expanded for more appropriate space that allowed for a grander new bathtub and shower stall. The 2nd level bathroom was also updated with new tile and glass enclosures. The laundry room had an inadequate plumbing system was revised and updated, bringing it up to code, making it more efficient and safe. The entire kitchen was revamped, removing all existing flooring, cabinets, existing plumbing and appliances. This included a redesign of the laundry room as well. New cabinets were installed and new appliances and tile flooring were added. Recessed ceiling lights with new electrical circuits installed. New kitchen sink, faucet & garbage disposal were added. Due to improper installation of the previous roofing material, a large degree of water damage to the roof sheeting had to be replaced. All old plywood sheeting was removed and new sheeting and framing around the eves was done. New shingles and drip edge and flashing were also installed. A complete was now in place. All existing windows were removed and replaced with high energy efficiency double pain windows. The pack patio cover was rotten and removed. A new atrium was added with the addition of outside receptacles and lighting. The electrical circuitry was extremely inadequate and was subsequently upgraded including the addition of a new power panel and new circuitry for the house and a sub-panel for the garage. New recessed ceiling lights were added throughout as well as upgrading the power receptacles, GFI’s, vent/heating in the bathrooms and general overall lighting throughout. Additionally, a sophisticated security camera/wi-fi system was installed so that the clients could monitor their home from anywhere – remotely with a smart phone or iPad/Tablet device. The entire house was painted inside and out. All existing cabinets and paneling was stained according to the clients wishes.
