This past week, we were able to remove more of the existing walls on the 3rd floor at the request of the client. We knew there had been a fire in the home many years ago, but after removing the walls, we discovered the extent of the damage. The party walls were entirely blackened and remnants of old wall covering were completely scorched and left hanging. Whoever did the previous renovation chose to build partition walls 8" in front of the brick wall We assume this was done to cover up rather than remediate the smoke and fire damage. Removing these additional walls provides a great opportunity for us to seal the party wall with 'Sto Guard' and will increase the room sizes by up to 8" in width.
The carpenters were framing the bathrooms this past week, which has sparked the task of determining the best way and place to run necessary duct work without compromising any fixture locations. This is where the choice of a good HVAC contractor comes in. Bids are starting to come in for this work and a company should be hired this coming week.Next up is the spraying of the exterior walls with 3" of spray foam to give us the R-21 we need to insulate the house.
In a down economic climate, quite a few home owners are focusing on residence improvements. But you need Hvac contractors for another great output.
