Handicap Ramp and Portico
This is a joint project for an elderly client involving Dreamcatcher Design+Build and Creative Custom Carpentry of Fenton which began as a simple window replacement job (we initially replaced 11 windows and a sliding door) then turned into a full-on porch addition. The portico is a simple shed roof with a traditionally framed dormer accent that will be shingled to match the house and it is supported by 5 posts that will be trimmed out in cedar. The ramp is a switch-back design that slopes at an ADA compliant 1 inch fall for every 12 inches of length. It will be complemented with cedar wrapped posts and cedar railings.

Warner Retail Building Remodel
This is a complete resuscitation project. The building was being condemned prior to the client purchasing it. From there, he contracted a builder to install a new roof system. Then the owner sided the building and stabilized the floor structure. Currently, Dreamcatcher Design+Build is working with the owner to re-create a front facade that will reuse some existing materials, fit within the historic character of the small village where it is located, and prove more functional for the new usage of the space.
Because of maintenance concerns, we will be using some modern technology like synthetic lumber and cast concrete stone veneer to replicate the feeling of federal style trim details and solid stone walls. Vintage reproduction lighting, vinyl bead board panels, a wood framed awning system, and solid wood doors complete the historic revival look without the high maintenance concerns often associated with old buildings.
(This project is still in the 'design development' stage and is pending on the owner's start approval.)
