Transforming a Cold, Sloping Porch into a Warm, Usable Family Room in Jim Falls, WI
Challenge
Before our intervention, the homeowner in Jim Falls, WI, faced significant issues with a cold, sloping porch that made it nearly impossible to convert into a cozy, inviting game room. The "before" photo clearly illustrates the challenges: uneven floors, cold temperatures, and an overall unusable space. Despite their desire for a warm, functional family room, the structural and environmental problems seemed like insurmountable obstacles, preventing them from enjoying the area as they had envisioned.
Solution
Our team went to work, starting with the installation of CleanSpace®, a high-performance vapor barrier designed to create a dry, comfortable, and usable space. This solution not only sealed out moisture but also improved the overall environment, ensuring the area would stay warm and protected year-round.
To address the issue of the sloping porch, we implemented our SmartJack® system. This foundation repair solution effectively lifted and leveled the floor, stabilizing the entire structure and correcting the slope. The combination of these two innovative products transformed the once problematic porch into a level, dry, and inviting family room.
The results speak for themselves: the "after" photo shows a stunning transformation where the space is now functional, warm, and perfectly aligned with the homeowner's vision. By using CleanSpace® and SmartJack®, we provided lasting solutions that not only addressed the immediate challenges but also enhanced the home’s overall comfort and structural integrity. This successful project aligns with our mission to deliver dependable, long-term solutions that improve the living experience for our customers.
