Paxton Properties
Building Chicago
Rebuilt
We work with great people! Whether it is insulating old walls, cutting new windows into a bath, or reviving a room with a new paint job (the end color is white, not McDonald's yellow), we work with a great team.
This old house had a porch that had been converted into a three season room, which had been converted into a four season. . . . Finally, this house needed to have an addition on the back that could actually support a four season back room with a built in bathroom. Fortunately, the soil was sandy and not too hard, so the excavation was not too difficult!
When we buy a house, sometimes we see interesting things, like toilets attached to a chipboard floor. Here the toilet is attached over sub-floor and two sheets of 3/4 inch chipboard. Nothing says "finished house" like a toilet on chipboard. So, what we do is we fix these problems for new home owners. Soon, there will be new subfloor, good looking tile, and a finished bathroom. In the middle picture we show the good bones of the same house. The trim is great Eastlake style millwork. Once we are finished, there can be a lovely refurbished place for a family to live. The picture on the right is a renovated master bedroom. This project started out very tired, but with some effort, it looks great!
