A
1927 home that was recently renovated by PSG Construction was
featured on the national HGTV program Old Homes Restored
in March and September, 2001.The home was constructed by the
man who built railroads in the Florida Keys for business magnate
Henry Flagler.
Current
homeowners Duke and Colleen Woodson appreciated the home's interesting
history and were committed to duplicating the workmanship and
methods of the era in which the home was originally built when
they took on the renovation project.
"The
Woodsons stipulated that finishes be completed using the methods
and materials of the period," explains PSG partner Paul
Gidus. PSG Construction worked with Lucia Custom Home Designers
Inc. and Franklin Interiors to meet the Woodson's unique goals.
Renovation
to the four-level home with walk-out basement included gutting
the existing master bathroom to expand the master bedroom, adding
a new master bathroom on top of an existing flat exterior roof,
renovating three additional bathrooms, refinishing flooring,
sandblasting and repainting the exterior, repairing exterior
windows and screens, and re-roofing the house. Overhead utility
lines were also buried to enhance the exterior.
