The Temple’s had a very nice home near Shenandoah subdivision but the siding was dated and deteriorating. They hired us to remove the old siding and replace with new Smart Side material that will last for many years. This type of siding looks like wood but is actually a composite material that is more stable. The siding actually comes with a 50 year warranty. After 2 coats of paint the owners shouldn’t have to do anything for many years. The exterior of the house looks like new!
These clients love the location of their home but the very small home built in the 1950’s just wasn’t going to cut it anymore. Located in Durango very close to parks and downtown they wanted to remodel and add on rather than start over somewhere else. You might have heard people talk about “popping the top” on a house. Well that is essentially what we did here. The old roof structure was removed and the house gutted to bare studs on the exterior walls. We added on to the back of the house on the main level. Then built a completely new second story. The house has more than doubled in size and now consists of modern high efficiency insulation and heating systems. The exterior is mostly stucco with just enough wood to create great curb appeal. Maintenance will be very low. The decks are trex so again no maintenance. Wood and tile floors inside are easy to clean and look great. This custom remodel/addition in Durango is one we are very proud of and so are our clients.
Our client has hunted all over the world and needed some additional space for his hunting trophy’s. So the solution was to design and build a remodel addition. Phase 1 was to build a new garage so we could re-purpose the existing garage. The new garage is a large 3 car space with room for a workbench as well as the vehicles and toys. The existing garage will be transformed into the new master suite. Then the addition will be a large trophy room with a wet bar, high ceilings, stone fireplace and of course hunting trophy’s all around. This house sits above beautiful Vallecito lake near Bayfield, CO. The views of the lake are fantastic!
We, as builders and designers, have learned a lot over the years about proper construction techniques. This home, built long before I was building, had roof rafters that were too small and too weak. Our winter snow finally took its toll and the roof was sagging and failing badly. The solution was to completely remove the old roof framing and build a new engineered truss roof. The house now has the same charm of the old house but with modern construction and engineering will stand up to whatever snow Mother Nature can dish out. We enjoy remodeling projects on old houses like this every now and then and are glad we could help these people!
Because we have chosen to use in house employees for our excavation, concrete and carpentry work we can offer those services as well as complete custom home building. We have one of the finest concrete form systems available which makes completing foundation work fast and efficient. We believe that by using our own employees we gain greater quality control and you end up with a better product at a better price. So whether you need design and construction of a complete custom home, or maybe just a sidewalk and redwood deck, we can help. Our employees are incredibly talented and creative. Even if you are just starting to consider a new project, we would love to discuss it with you.
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.
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.
As you might guess from the title this home belongs to Kurt & Terri Will, owners of Will Construction. We designed and built our home in 2000 and are still enjoying the location. Situated on 17 acres south west of Durango and south east of Bayfield the location works well for us. With 2200 square Ft. of heated living space, 4 bedrooms 2.5 bathrooms and an office it functions well for our family. The home has been remodeled somewhat since we built in 2000. We now have wide plank hand scraped hickory wood floors, Knotty Alder doors and trim. Semi-custom hickory cabinets, solid surface counters and stainless appliances make up the kitchen. As you can see by the large covered deck we enjoy our outdoor space. The covered redwood deck is built around a hot tub and also the home for our barbecue which we use year round! We have thought many times about building again (bigger, nicer etc…) but we really love where we are and our house suits us just fine!
We first got involved with these folks when they hired us to pour a colored concrete patio slab at their home. At the time they were dreaming of a remodel/addition someday. In 2014 that someday came. We designed and built a very nice master suite addition that shows very well. Located in the Animas Valley North of Durango they have beautiful views, easy access to Purgatory ski area and are close to Durango. With a modern contemporary fireplace built into the wall and a custom hand distressed and finished sliding barn door this is another great example of mountain contemporary. Great clients and a great location made this another fun project for us.
