The Challenge

This one was personal: Sean took on a full living-space addition during the height of COVID, when material lead times were unpredictable and every trade was booked out. The goal was to add real, finished square footage that felt original to the home, not a bolted-on box.

The Work

The signature detail was a three-tier tray ceiling. It went in once, it was close, and close was not good enough. The crew tore it down and rebuilt it. Twice more. The third build was the one that lined up perfectly, with crisp reveals and even shadow lines. Framing, insulation, electrical, drywall, trim, and flooring all had to sequence around pandemic supply gaps without stalling the schedule.

The Result

From open footprint to finished, livable luxury space in about 90 days. The addition reads as if it was always part of the house, and the tray ceiling is the first thing every guest looks up at.
