West Seattle Stair Remodel
This homeowner needed enough space to accommodate their extended family, and allow for privacy for all parties. Though it appears to be a two story from the street, the home they found was more than meets the eye.
The family bought this West Seattle four and a half story “shell” with the potential to do what they wanted—create dual family living complete with a separate apartment for their parents. The home had a four and a half story metal spiral staircase that had to go. These rickety, winding stairs were difficult and dangerous for the grandparents to get up and down, not to mention for the rest of the family as well. Potter Construction used their 3D CAD program to help visualize the possibilities.
Four months, four and half floors, and 67 stairs later, the family had a fully functioning stair system that was finally safe and structurally sound, not to mention beautiful. The project was a big step up in terms of hazard-free accessibility for every family member, but it was also a step up aesthetically speaking.
