E 54th Street
Guest House Renovation | Savannah, Georgia
We took over the complete renovation of this guest house after another contractor abandoned the project midway. We had to undo a significant amount of shoddy work before finishing the home to our standards.
This was the state of it when we arrived:
Imagine our surprise when we discovered the drain lines were pitched in the wrong direction.
The wiring was incomplete, the water heater was not vented to the exterior (dangerous!), and the staircase landing height did not meet code and had to be adjusted.
The porch was not properly connected to the main structure (bad in high wind!), and it was not flashed properly to the house, leaking water between the exterior and interior wall. Additionally, the slab was installed incorrectly, leaking water into the house with each rainfall.
This range hood flue pipe running through the bedroom floor/ceiling speaks for itself. We can't imagine the thought process there.
These before-and-after photos truly can not encapsulate the number of
obstacles we encountered! Uncovering all of the shoddy and dangerous work was time consuming, but the most important step prior to finishing this project.
Here are the results:

Bedrooms
Loft space
Three bathrooms, keeping to the general black & white color scheme:
