Colton Addition
This addition will be designed for convenience and comfort.
The comfort of a family space to enjoy the warmth of a gas
fireplace nestled in the corner, while having the feeling of
being in a wide open space with a cathedral ceiling
and recessed lights for ambiance. Then again, the room will
also serve as a convenience to the often difficult task of
having to go down to the basement to do laundry. However,
now the washer & dryer will be just around the corner,
tucked away in a closet. A new 8 x 16 deck will provide
plenty of enjoyable barbeques and family gatherings.

Parting Words from the Coltons
Mike completed an addition to our house recently and we
are extremely pleased with the results. His timeliness,
attention to detail, concern for our comfort level
throughout the project, and excellent workmanship
resulted in a beautiful room and deck that we couldn't
be happier with. Mike provided us with a schedule of
construction and stuck to it almost to the minute. If
something came up to throw it off, he let us know ahead
of time and found ways to work around the delays. It
was a real pleasure to work with such an honest,
conscientious, and affable person. He showed concern
every step of the way for what would be best for us and
the project; and did a wonderful job of making the new
construction fit well with the existing house. We have
great respect for Mike and highly recommend him.
Mike & Carol Colton
