Turned a negitive into a positive...
The plans called for the wall to be extended 5 feet out. When we opened up the wall we found plumbing drains from the upstairs master bathroom coming down the wall and through the concrete slab. It would have cost the home owner quite a bit extra to reroute the plumbing.I suggested that we leave the part of the wall that had the plumbing intact and open up the rest.Then we added an arch to match the other arches we where adding through out the house.The home owners where very happy with the results.
Note: The picture here represents work done by Masterson Construction working as a subcontractor.

California Construction Site Update
A new feature on our main website is a list of residential and commercial general contractor services.
Often the cost of an addition will add valuable living space, and save homeowners the headaches of moving. Depending on available land, we can build out, and we can help if your only option is building up.
