This Bayfield remodel was designed and built to add some outdoor living space. With a kiva style fireplace, a built in hot tub and outdoor kitchen area entertaining is easy. The floor is colored and stamped concrete for low maintenance and good looks. Rough sawn beams and a wood t & G ceiling finish out the inside. The deck around the hot tub is built from Brazillian Ipe and is beautiful. We even built the custom cabinets for the outdoor kitchen from the same Ipe wood. Another fine example of design/build in a Bayfield addition.
When the Schlotthauer family purchased this lot north of Durango and situated just below the train tracks they dreamed of eventually building an efficient family oriented vacation home. If there is a theme to the home it is “trains”. The family has enjoyed watching and riding the Narrow gauge train for many years and wanted to include some details in the house to reflect their interest. Should you miss the train themed light fixtures that flank the large 2 car garage, you will certainly notice the steam engine that is etched into the custom front door (a family member did the etching). On the outside we incorporated typical craftsman details like the square tapered columns sitting on stone piers and supporting the open beam pergolas. The stone wainscot with stucco above and a combination of shingle and lap siding on the gables certainly ads to the craftsman feel. The home includes custom features such as oak flooring, Knotty beech cabinets, Quartz counters, Pine doors & trim, as well as a built in flat screen with surround sound over the fireplace. The home is heated by a 95% efficient furnace, utilizes high quality low e vinyl windows and the kitchen includes GE stainless energy star rated appliances. Together with a thoroughly sealed building envelope the house will perform very efficiently.
The Moody residence is a perfect example of why the design/build process works so well. We designed and then built their custom home in 2003. When we first met these clients they had already spent a substantial amount of money having an architect design the home. Unfortunately without any input from a builder up front they wound up with a design that far exceeded their budget. So we started over and Will Construction designed and built a house that met their requirements and fit their budget! Allowing us as the builder to be involved from the beginning like this allows us to help control costs and also to meet the goals of the owner. These clients enjoyed the process and in 2010 when they decided they wanted to build a large garage/shop with office and living space above they didn’t think twice about calling Will Construction again.
This family needed some additional living space in their custom home built near Turtle Lake in Durango. Completed in 2011 this remodel/addition project added a fantastic game room.
Sometimes our clients want to get their hands dirty and put some sweat equity into their homes. The Genualdi residence was one of those projects. Will Construction completed all of the major components of the construction and the owners took over some of the finish work. Built on the Florida Mesa just outside of Durango they have acreage as well as easy access to Durango. Incredible views of the La Plata mountains and room to roam on this gorgeous lot. Stucco and stone make up the exterior creating a low maintenance home that performs well.
Build in 2002 This custom home was built for a client who wanted the looks of a log home but without the additional maintenance and cost. We designed and built a very nice mountain style home with a loft. Using log accents for posts and beams as well as log railings on stairs gives it the log look. Inside to keep with the mountain theme we used 1×6 T&G Aspen for much of the interior walls. This gives the house the look of a D-log construction even from the inside. Located in the Deer Valley estates subdivision East of Bayfield the owners enjoy wildlife and privacy in their custom home.
These clients wanted to build something that would fill a need and improve the neighborhood while at the same time provide them with retirement income. Built in 2010 this duplex building does just that. The building consists of 2 units for a total of 2679 square Ft. of living space and 596 square ft. of garage. We designed the building to fit in nicely with the neighborhood and to have great curb appeal. The custom build project includes stone and hardiplank fiber cement siding so the exterior is almost maintenance free. Inside are a couple of very nice rental units that are finished using paint grade doors and trim, energy efficient appliances, and high efficiency heating systems. We are proud to add this small commercial/residential project to our list of custom design build projects in Durango.
I met this client through a referral from one of my suppliers in 2002. Our client is an avid skier and enjoyed Purgatory resort. He wanted to be close to Durango and also close to Purgatory. So Water Fall Village in the Animas valley north of Durango was the perfect location. Heated using a high efficiency forced air system together with a cozy wood stove the house stays very comfortable. The exterior is finished with cedar siding and stone allowing it to blend with the surroundings.
This Durango Custom home was designed and built in 1999 on the Florida Mesa. Our clients are local business people and have enjoyed their 2800 square ft. home for many years now. The wrap around covered porch gives the house that typical farm house style. Stucco and metal roofing allow for very little maintenance. The views from the redwood decks are amazing.
Built in 2004 this house sits in Ute Pass Ranch subdivision just on the edge of Durango. The home is 3 bedrooms 2.5 bath plus an office and large 2 car garage with workshop. At 3064 square ft. the home offers plenty of living space. For this home we chose to use log accents inside and out. That along with some wood ceilings gives the home that country feeling. It is heated with radiant in-floor heating using a high efficiency boiler. Granite counters, semi-custom cabinets and beautiful stone work add to the look.
