Miscellaneous Building

Among Hunterstruct jobs are those that don’t fit as neatly into our categories featuring buildings, additions, renovations, sun decks and fix-ups.

These smaller jobs usually present interesting challenges, ensuring builders maintain a skill-building high learning curve working at unique home improvement tasks.

The miscellaneous jobs in this section demonstrate the design/build skills at the core of Hunterstruct: a “one call for all” building service at work for homeowners – concrete to roof. Miscellaneous Photos

The wheelchair ramp and chair lift at left is a good example of Hunterstruct’s varied design/build skills.

Beginning from design, wood ramps rarely fit well into their surroundings, and lack also, the durability over time needed when a structure must bear directly on BC’s moist, coastal terra firma.

A better solution takes into account the need for ease of use and good looks in combination with a minimal-maintenance design.

This reinforced concrete ramp and its aluminim rails will provide years of safe, reliable, low maintenance elevator access. Miscellaneous Photos

Speaking of reliable access to home and property, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on exterior stairs as they age. They might work for daily traffic, but fail under the weight of a pair of people and a refrigerator.

This rebuild at right improves the original design by simplifying the stair’s lines while beefing it up structurally. It features also an interesting tread profile (inset) to further increase visual appleal. Miscellaneous Photos

Because stairs are naturally a high-traffic area, all wood used has been hand selected to ensure structural integrity.

The wood is kiln dried prior to millwork to create the ideal conditions for maximum paint adhesion in exterior conditions.

Functional and Attractive — What Sound Building Is All About!

Minor structural changes to existing buildings such as the overhang at left can increase usable area and often even improve on the home’s original lines.

The overhang is part of a plan to level the garage area.

We’ve installed concrete stemwalls to retain the well-draining gravel base, leaving it prepped for a concrete slab installation and possible enclosure in the future. Miscellaneous Photos
