Stonecroft House
The new work brings order to a weathered shell
What you're looking at:
A new addition is being framed off a freshly poured foundation beside the original stone house, with exposed structure showing how the new floors and walls wil marry up to the existing building.
Why it matters:
Straight and level foundations give the crew a reliable baseline, which is what allows every new wall, floor, and opening to land with precision. In a house like this, the challenge is not just building the addition accurately, but carefully reconciling it to an older structure that has moved, settled, and drifted over time. That work takes time to layout so the finished house feels like it has always been there, and the transitions from old to new are seamless.
Custom steel rises to meet the design without compromise
What you're looking at:
A telehandler is setting custom fabricated steel roof members into the upper framing, where sheathed exterior walls and a new porch roof define the developing massing of a multi-story addition.
Why it matters:
These steel rafters make it possible to open up the third-floor living areas with a vaulted ceiling while still resolving a more complicated roof geometry than dimensional lumber could comfortably span.
Craftsmanship is displayed along the entire radius.
What you're looking at:
The interior trim ring of a large circular radius window is being installed using flexible molding profile. This round window if the focal point of the rear of the house.
Why it matters:
Radius windows, especially ones that are five feet in diameter, demand precise attention to property trim out for finishes. Even minor deviations become visually obvious along continuous curves. When the window is the focal point of the room, there is nowhere to hide.
