Our client bought this home on spec to flip.
The existing foundation was cracked on all four sides and bowing in. There was no chance of repairing it.
Being located in an old neighborhood of Webster Groves, all involved felt it was important to mainiian an old house texture to whatever we did. Instead of building all new, the decision was made to save the old home, replace the foundation and expand.
This approach preserved the character of the old home and saved $25,000.00 in materials as calculated by the contractor.
Construction took approximately 1 year.
