Last week I was working on the Sheffield Street Project.  Nikki and I went out to the house and spent a couple hours doing site measurements.  The house is partially demoed right now, dark, and dirty.  We only had the light of our little cell phones to keep us from tripping on the stairs.  Next time I’ll remember my flash-light.

The house is pretty neat.  It’s the last on it’s block to be fixed up, and the neighbors are excited to see it get done.  It’s an old house and has lots of cool little details that I hope we maintain during the reconstruction process.  It’s big too.  We should be able to divide it into two decent sized condos, each with outdoor space.

I also did drawings of the house, in AutoCAD, last week.  It was definitely tricky, because the house is half demoed and has some furniture laying around.  But, it’s done.  We already have some ideas on how to split up the space.  Space planning is one of my favorite parts of the project.

This includes design consultation, photographic imaging, and networking tradesmen to handle all facets of the job.  We are a Pittsburgh-based company, but we are also licensed in Palm Beach County, Florida which allows us to do contracted work in 39 reciprocating counties in Florida.

All of the crew members are trained and tested in preparation, products, and application geared specifically towards the restoration of old homes. Because of this, Take Pride has often been selected to partake in historic Victorian restoration throughout South Western Pennsylvania.
