Sewickley 2-Story Addition + Whole-Home Reno

Project Scope

When the homeowner, originally from Texas, found us through a simple Google search, she was planning a move to Sewickley/Pittsburgh area, and sought our expertise for potential renovations in the house she had in mind. After an initial meeting at a local Starbucks, followed by a thorough walkthrough of the property with her realtor, she eventually chose to go with the architect and builder recommended by the realtor.

A few months later, the homeowner reached out to us again. Faced with difficulties in communication and collaboration with their chosen builder, the homeowner asked if our lead sales manager and designer could revisit their project. Presented with design drawings from the architect, we instantly recognized an opportunity to provide the expertise and collaborative approach the homeowner was seeking.

Navigating Home Challenges with Seamless Solutions

Partnering closely with the homeowner, we seamlessly integrated the architect’s original concept with our own expertise, meticulously adjusting the layout to align with the homeowner’s vision. Despite facing challenges such as stormwater management regulations imposed by the township and the need for custom templated wood trim on exterior windows, our team remained dedicated to ensuring a successful outcome for the homeowner.

During the construction phase, which coincided with harsh winter weather, our team of skilled professionals exhibited creative problem-solving by preserving and reusing existing details from the house, creating a harmonious blend of old and new. We installed custom-matched trim and meticulously executed the custom templated wood trim on exterior windows, ultimately transforming the house into a modern, light-filled sanctuary with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

The project, which encompassed a two-story addition with a basement and a comprehensive whole-house renovation, was completed in early 2019. The open-concept living space, meticulously curated with charming trim, lighting, and finish details, perfectly captured the essence of the original house while bringing it into the 21st century.

Customer Satisfaction and Other Noteworthy Details

Upon completion, the homeowner expressed her satisfaction, describing us as “easy to use and easy to work with.” She praised our team for delivering within the agreed timeframe and budget, reaffirming our unwavering commitment to professionalism, organization, and collaboration.

This project marked the successful transformation of the entire house, and the homeowner’s subsequent decision to build a detached garage about a year later speaks volumes about the trust and satisfaction she experienced with Action Builders. We take pride in not only completing projects but also ensuring that homeowners’ expectations are not just met, but exceeded.
