Living room addition, new deck, new roof, and new exterior concrete.
Molnar Construction completed a very extensive project that we envisioned in December 2013. Coming from musical families, we had hoped to add a music room addition, off the back of our home and living room, in place of our then existing deck. However, we live in an area where the water table is relatively high, so we weren’t even sure such a project was possible. In addition to that, we wanted the new room well insulated, and also add a new deck with steps to a new concrete patio underneath. This meant building the room on stilts. We also wanted to re-purpose our huge picture window into the new room, not only to save cost but also to capture our beautiful view of woods and pond.
We figured the demolition alone for such a project could be challenging, because our home is in close proximity to a nature preserve. Because of that, care needed to be taken for ecological reasons, as well. After interviewing several contractors…we realized not everyone shared our vision.
We met with Dan in March 2014 to discuss our goals and consider options. Our first meeting confirmed all the positive feedback we read about Molnar Construction on Angie’s list. From the get-go, Dan was personable, knowledgeable, considerate, and willing to work with our ideas. Although we had acquired three estimates, we felt Dan’s was the most detailed, and fair, considering the proposed undertaking. (Note: our final cost exceeded the original estimate, due primarily to the addition of a new roof, skylight, downspouts, gutter covers, and some extra electrical and carpentry work.)
Dan and his crew were amazing!!! The care, positive attitudes, and professionalism they all brought to work each day were high caliber. Every evening, the job site was cleaned up to perfection! We were especially impressed when one of Dan’s employees used a metal detector to remove nails in the grass, after the roofing work was completed. With two dogs, that was an important detail for us. The concrete work on the patio surpassed our expectations – LOVE all the curves! And re-grading/seeding the yard will be appreciated again next spring.
Our project took approximately 8 weeks to complete and was the most enjoyable project we’ve ever undertaken. Molnar Construction has literally made our dreams come true! Easy to work with, their hard work and dedication-to-detail will impact our lives for many years to come.
We’d like to personally thank Dan – you undoubtedly have a bright future, based on your personal integrity, up-beat attitude, and knowledge
of the industry, as well as your many construction talents. We appreciate that you choose like-minded individuals to make up your team.
