Gorgeous Oakton Home Gym & Screened Porch Additions
Customer Focus
Our customers’ Oakton home is beautiful, sitting on generous acreage and featuring an in-ground pool. However, over time, the homeowners realized that some portions of their home needed updates to accommodate their family’s changing needs. Namely, both the basement and the deck. The basement, meant for family game nights and watching TV near the wet bar, had become overrun with gym equipment and bicycles, while the deck, original to the home, had seen its fair share of wear and tear and was in an overly sunny (and buggy!) spot on the property. The solution? Push out the empty space underneath the deck to create a fully equipped home gym addition that could fit all the equipment and machinery needed for each person’s fitness goals (thereby clearing out the basement!), and transform the deck space into a large, screened porch with space for entertaining and breaking bread without the glare of sunlight or visiting bugs.
Safety
This project began and was completed during the global pandemic. All CDC health and safety guidelines were followed.
Performance
Our customers put full faith and trust into MOSS, especially their project manager. Not only did he find the solution to their foundation issues, but he also suggested that LED lights be installed in the gym to “up light” the ceiling. These lights can be controlled by a smart phone and give the gym a fun look and feel. In addition, the project manager suggested the rustic looking wood ceiling planks in the screened porch – the homeowner remarked on how much they love the way it adds a touch of the outdoors inside.
Fairness
After the home gym addition had been dug out and construction begun, leaking water was found pooling into the space. Upon further investigation, it was found that the home’s original foundation was at fault – it is a miracle a larger flood hadn’t ruined the basement years prior. MOSS was able to diagnose the problem, have the foundation strengthened and complete the addition without fear of further water damage.
Quality
Diagnosing issues during a remodel takes an experienced professional – solving these issues takes an expert. Our MOSS team provided these homeowners with the quality work they expected but they received much more: the reassurance that MOSS will save them countless dollars and hours of repair issues in the future.
