Rehab Home Projects
This is a typical Surfside rehabilitation home project. It started out as a run down 1950′s inner city problem, and ended up being a home the owner takes pride in every day.
Rehabilitating homes with housing grants from local municipalities as well as working with local real estate investors has become one of the fastest growing segments of our business. Surfside will work within tightly scheduled time constraints, bringing your investment in on time and on budget!
We provide a full scope of trades, making your job easier. You don’t need to go from one trade to another to get your project done, wondering if they know what they are doing. We can take a “basket case” home and bring it up to like new condition in record time.
The Starting Point
Below are photos of a typical home project we completed for a local municipality. It sat vacant for a couple of years, and was in sad shape. Our photos really can not do justice to how bad this home had become.
As you can see, someone had attempted to secure the home with plywood shutters. What you can’t see is that they screwed the plywood to the aluminum window frames! To add insult to injury, the abuse was still going on, with local thugs breaking in nightly. Plywood on the windows just made it easier not to be seen! We hauled over 9000 pounds of debris from inside the home. Everything from car engines to abandon appliances had been stripped of their salable parts and left to rust.
Rats and other pests were everywhere, especially wood eating termites. Very hungry wood eating termites! Once all the debris was removed, the first step was pest control!
This rehab would scare anyone. The photo of the living room with the dirt piled up was taken about mid point in our project. The waste pipes under the slab were completely rotted away, so we had to cut out the concrete floor to put in new pipe.
The Finished Product
45 days later, clean as a pin and ready to sell! As you can see, this home got a real makeover. We replaced the roof, put in new plumbing, electric, air conditioning, kitchen, baths, and everything in between!
