We’ve just finished up on a gorgeous new construction on Elizabeth Street in Durham, NC.  This home has everything from beautiful natural wood floors to marble counters and lots bright spacious rooms.  We chose a very contemporary color scheme for this home, a very soft gray color on the walls compliments the carrera marble and white cabinetry in the kitchen.  There’s beautiful trim work throughout, including crown molding and custom window and door frames.   The bathrooms combine classic white tile mixed with glass tile accents to give it a great contemporary feel.  The master suite features two sinks and a glass walk in shower with a pebble shower floor.  There’s a wonderful rocking chair front porch as well as a large screened back porch to enjoy all of North Carolina’s great seasons.

Foundation Excavation on Mangum St Remodel in Durham, NC

The work on our Mangum Street remodel is moving along!  The house was lifted from its foundation and now rests on temporary supports while we work to build a new modern foundation.  Since a foundation is what will bear the entire weight of a home, the foundation needs to be constructed on good, solid ground.  In many of the older 100+ year homes, foundation footings were non existent as well as some other various structural aspects. On our current Mangum street project, the foundation failed resulting in portions of the foundation settling more than others. The result is uneven floors dipping from room to room. This homes foundation is engineered to the most current industry standards and will stand the test of time.

Rebuilding House Foundations on Mangum St in Durham

Many areas in Durham, NC have a combination of foundation issues.  Some were built on soils that were soft and unstable, and some just weren’t engineered well enough to withstand the weight for decades.  These and other factors can all lead to a failure of the old foundation, such as with our Mangum St project that we are currently rebuilding. The foundation repair begins by getting the house weight off the current foundation.  Our crew starts by building a temporary support system under the home.  They then use a hydraulic jack to inch the house up little by little until it is well above the old foundation. House being lifted from failing foundation.Take a look at the galleries below and see the house lift progress.  Each corner of the home is slowly raised and supported in a process that takes an entire day.  The end result is the house raised and supported by steel I-beams, floating about a foot above it’s old foundation.  The next step for this whole house remodel will be for our foundation experts to rebuild an entirely new, modern foundation to set this house on.
