Wow! What A Beautiful Home!

WOW! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HOME!

AMRON Perfects the Art of Design and Construction.

Moving a mountain to build a dream.

Building is our passion! AMRON’s ingenuity and technical expertise satisfies clients with projects ranging from single family homes to major league ballpark stadiums. Our latest project is the completion of a custom design built home.

Hillside construction is one of our specialties. We cut the hill to the desired plateaus, and moved five thousand cubic yards of dirt to local landfills to ready the site for concrete foundations.

After excavating for the hillside foundations, AMRON’s workmen lay out for boring the caissons.

Boring twenty five caissons on excavated plateaus is not unusual for AMRON: we understand and are familiar with hillside construction.

Certain hillside projects have allowed AMRON to use metal forms to accelerate the concrete phase. We also build our own wood forms if dictated by the requirements of a particular project.

Framing hillside homes requires knowledge of integrating heavy metal connectors with large wood timbers, not your typical house framing. AMRON’s background and experiences makes it happen.

It all starts with the foundation.

AMRON has the unique qualifications for building with heavy commercial construction related materials and then phasing into the soft finishes for the interior of the house.

AMRON believes that living in a well built and beautiful house is truly inspirational, and we build homes with that philosophy in mind.

One of our AMRON workmen said after completing this house:

“It’s so gratifying to know that one has put forth an extreme effort to complete something of such beauty.”

Beautiful Bathroom Remodel by AMRON

AMRON CREATES & BUILDS A BEAUTIFUL SPACE

When it comes to designing & building a space our clients love, AMRON does it right! The following is a peak at the final product, but read on to see what it takes to make it happen!

AMRON’s client purchased a 1930’s fixer upper, complete with vintage tiles, knob & tube electrical wiring, cast iron plumbing, and jerry-rigged structural beams.

The bathroom ceiling was so low, AMRON’s client had to stoop to take a shower. The cast iron plumbing and knob and tube electrical wiring was antiquated and hazardous, and the rickety support beams consisted of odds and ends nailed together.

AMRON began by gutting the bathroom ceiling, walls, and floor; tore out the tiles, plumbing, electrical wires, and jerry-rigged beams.

AMRON’s electrician and plumber installed modern electrical and plumbing. AMRON’s carpenter installed up-to-code beams to reinforce the building’s structural integrity. The interior walls were also replaced.

AMRON’s tiler laid marble tile throughout, including a herringbone, marble tile pattern on the bathroom floor. The detailing is simply elegant!

The results: a light, airy open space, allowing fresh air and exterior sunlight to shine through the vintage stain glass window and bathe the entire bath area!

Our client is well over 6’7″. By gutting the bathroom and getting rid of all the outdated plumbing in the ceiling, AMRON picked up much needed, additional space: now our client can stand tall when taking a shower! Note, the smooth plaster ceiling and recessed lighting.

Take a peek at our tiler’s beautiful, inlaid tile, shower shelving.

AMRON added custom built cabinets & countertops to complete the bathroom.

WHEN THE PROJECT WAS DONE, SEE WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAID ABOUT US :

“We’ve worked with AMRON on several projects including bathroom remodels, plumbing replacement, deck rebuild, structural work and more. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience. Bob and his team are professional, so kind, so hardworking and are perfectionists. The client is #1. They stand behind their work and aren’t happy unless the client is. We wouldn’t work with anyone else.”

For an expert approach to your construction needs, AMRON has the skill, experience, and creative touch to build your project from the ground up.

AMRON – Your Earthquake Brace & Bolt Contractor

By AMRON | Concrete & Retrofitting, Earthquake Brace & Bolt, earthquake retrofit, FEMA, Remodel, Residential, residential construction

Did you know that your home may be eligible to receive up to $3000.00 for Earthquake Retrofit? The California Earthquake Brace & Bolt (EBB) program is encouraging home owners with older homes to get their homes retrofitted by providing financial assistance to homeowners in selected zip code neighborhoods.

The consequences of an improper earthquake retrofit or of not strengthening an older home can be devastating. More than 1.2 million houses in high-hazard areas are particularly vulnerable to earthquakes because of the type of construction. These homes were typically built before 1979, wood-framed with a raised foundation and have a cripple wall in the crawl space under the house.

In an EBB retrofit, the cripple wall is strengthened with bracing and bolting or with bolting only, depending on the house foundation. With bracing, plywood is added to the cripple walls to strengthen them and to help prevent the home from collapsing. With bolting, anchor bolts are added in the crawl space to help prevent the home from sliding.

Eligible homeowners can apply for retrofit funding from January 23 – February 23, 2018, at earthquakebracebolt.com. As a FEMA trained, registered, and participating EBB general contractor, AMRON is at your service to assist you with the application process and to answer your questions. Please call AMRON at 310-384-2042.
