NEW! Hillsborough Modular Job

The A&E crew has been hard at work these past few months working on various projects. One of the latest is our Hillsborough Modular Job. The first step of this project was to get the foundation into place. These days there are more than one way to install a foundation. Superior pre cast foundation walls are an excellent choice for larger projects where space allows for crane placement of pre cast panels. Superior foundation walls are cost effective, and can be erected in as little as one day. Another important advantage to superior walls is that they come waterproofed, insulated, and prepped to make a finished basement a breeze. After placement, sill plates were bolted at the foundation walls to prepare it for the modular set. Keep updated with the blog posts from A&E Construction to follow this project through to completion. Next week, the modular components will be set.

Screen Porch & Kitchen Renovation Part 3

A&E Construction's Screen Porch and Kitchen Renovation is making fast progress! At the front of the house, the outside of the laundry extension is currently being prepared for the installation of new Cedar Lap and shake siding. At the back of the house, blue stone is being wet laid on top of the finished slab, and workers are in the process of installing the new fiberglass roof system. Within the house you can see that after removing the wall and placing the beam, the kitchen is a much more open and roomier space. Lastly, the installation of the kitchen cabinets has begun. Stay tuned to the A&E Construction blog posts to read more about this project and others like it that are in the pipeline.

Backyard Screen Porch Addition & Kitchen Renovation Part 2

A&E Construction has been efficiently working on this Pennington home renovation! Since the last post, the excavated soil has been reused for backfill, the pre-existing shrubbery saved for replantation, and any unneeded material removed to keep the site clean and safe. The concrete slab foundation has been poured and set in order to support the new porch. Afterward, the rough framing structure was put into place. Lastly, an interior wall has been removed and replaced with a beam and new metal flitch plate (last picture below) to open up the kitchen area. Keep up with the A&E Construction blog to continue this renovation process with us! If you missed the first post, click here.

Garage Addition Completed!

After many posts of the garage addition process, the project is finally complete! In the images below, you can see the finished driveway and the new garage doors, lighting fixtures, and siding. The inside has gotten it's final touches and is now large enough to hold the client's tools, yard supplies, work table, and even his car while still having plenty of space. At the end of the post, a video is displayed showing the entire garage addition process from start to finish. Check it all out below!

New Job Underway!

Everyone has been busy and working hard here at A&E Construction! Just recently, we began a new renovation project right here in Pennington, NJ. The project includes a new screened porch, refurbished kitchen, and an updated mudroom. The images below show the house before and during the beginning stages of the porch installation.

The first stage was to relocate (not get rid of) the plants 

and shrubbery that were in the way of where the deck is to be built.

Garage Addition Almost Finished!

The images below display the changes that have happened since our last post! In that post, it was noted that the windows and vapor barrier had been installed, that the roof was shingled, that the interior of the garage had been dry walled, and the ground excavated for the base material of the driveway. Since then, a lot has happened to make the garage look as well as it does. The inside has been freshly cleaned and painted, and is ready for homeowner use. The garage doors and the lights above them have been installed and are in working condition. The new siding has been completed and matches the original siding perfectly. Lastly, the soffit and fascia detailing have been finalized, and new gutters have been installed. Stay tuned to A&E Construction so that you can see the final post and pictures regarding this garage addition process! In the next post, you will see the finished addition, including the completed driveway with it's final grading touches.

Don't forget what the house looked like before!
