Description of Work: This was an extensive remodel of a 1957 2600 sq. foot house. My house. The remodel involved quite a bit of demolition along with a total rewire and total replumbing. The daylight /walk out basement was totally demolished on the inside. 80% of the pad was removed, new plumbing was installed, a new pad poured and then the basement reconfigured with a new bath, new laudryroom and large sliding door to a back yard patio. Big changes and a big difference especially with the spray foam insulation directly on the foundation. The basement functions so much better and is beautiful. The house is on a hillside and most people don't even realize that they are in a basement because the living area and bedroom are on the two sides that have large windows and a large sliding door. Cobalt reframed the basement to accommodate the insulation and framed the ceiling so sound would not migrate to the upstairs. We gave up a little width and height but well worth it. We essentially created a MIL apartment by adding a kitchette. We even did a modern gas insert with ledge tile. About 80% of the upstairs was demolished down to the studs. We added just a little square footage with a push out in order to reconfigure the kitchen and also captured a hall bath in order to create a deluxe master bath from an very small 3/4 bath. The three bedrooms upstairs were left in the existing configuration but of course received new wiring, lighting, closet doors, etc. In fact, all doors, windows and trim are new. Besides the master bath (tiled pan shower with glass on two sides, drop in tub, two sinks, separate water closet), we also added a full hall bath, small laundry closet and new kitchen. The house originally had a carport which we converted into a double car garage with a new pad. Cobalt suggested adding eye level horizonal windows in the garage towards the view and that was simply brilliant. We get great light, a little view and still have plenty of useful wall space. We also revamped an existing large deck off of the kitchen. The existing deck was cedar 2x4 slats. The one and only original door (before we added the large slider) from the basement to the outside opened to an area under the deck. We kept that door opening (we have two doors to the outside from the basement) and of course when it rained the water would drip while you were coming and going. So, we decided to do a water impervious covering on the deck and add a stairway from the deck to the backyard patio. Glad we did. It functions perfectly and now we have about 350 sq. feet of dry space under the deck. There were a bunch of addtional things we did such as gutters, flashing, two skylights, etc. GBif project with superb results.

Description of Work: We hired Cobalt Construction to do a kitchen remodel, creating a new cabinet for the microwave, and removing a cabinet to allow for the installation of a dish washer. We also wanted to install new countertops, flooring and light fixtures. Then, we wanted to do a remodel on the second floor, turning one bedroom into a master suite, requiring a dormer addition/expansion of a half bath to a full bath with all new fixtures, flooring, tile shower surround and window and installing new closets in the master suite and two skylights in two bedrooms. We also needed a new roof and wanted an arbored carport.

Description of Work: Finished large room in basement, including walls, floors, doors, ceilings, and insulation.

Description of Work: I hired Brian to help me mount a new 52" LCD TV on my living room wall, using a wall mount I had ordered. In particular, I wanted his help because my new condominium is all steel-and-concrete construction, and I've never drilled into a metal stud before.

Description of Work: They repaired some water damage in our living room.

Description of Work: Cobalt Construction completed a major remodel at our 1919 Craftsman bungalow. We went from a completely unfinished, cold, spidery basement accessed by a very steep stairway to a code-compliant, beautiful, usable space, with clean and dry storage, 3/4 bath, laundry area, media room, sun-filled yoga room, and french doors opening out to a large sunken patio. In the process, Cobalt also performed seismic retrofitting throughout. The job also included, at no extra charge, replacing the main support beams for the house (which had some minor moisture damage which is not surprising after 85+ years), repairing the cracks in the plaster upstairs that opened up as a result of all the work being done downstairs (inevitable in an old house), and planing the upstairs doors that no longer fit for the same reason. The ''as long as you're here'' tasks included repairing locks on the garage and front doors, some fencing, replacing some missing exterior trim and adding some needed insulation.
