Family Room, Kitchen and Powder Room
Hemphill - April 2008
Construction Started April 2, 2008 - Completed May 30, 2008

Rich and Linda Hemphill of Chicora PA contracted us to do an addition on their ranch home to add a family room, powder room, and a full kitchen remodel. The Hemphills wanted an "open plan" having the kitchen open to the family room. The addition was built on the back of the house adjoining the original kitchen and dining room.
