Guest Suite Addition
Guest Suite Addition over the Garage
Our clients Bill and Tammy approached us to construct a bonus room above the garage for their exercise equipment with an additional bedroom and bathroom for guests. This project has a few unique challenges including installing a 2 hour fire rated wall so that their home can be considered two separate structures for the Philomath fire marshal (so we don’t need to install a residential sprinkler system). We are also keeping their existing home operational during construction including their furnace and electrical panel which are directly underneath the new addition!
“Bill and Tammy were very happy with our work on their home in Corvallis, so when they bought their home in Philomath, they asked us to create a special Guest Suite for them.”

PROJECT DETAILS
Custom Designed Plans
After drawing up plans, our designer recommended adding 10’ on the back of the garage and mudroom to achieve their goals. This allows us to leave the current garage size as is, while providing room for stairs up to the addition as well as extra storage for the garage.
Tile Wainscoting
We installed tile wainscoting with a charming accent band in this water closet to add interest to this simple room and improve the cleanability.
Wood Paneled Ceiling
We added this wood tongue & groove paneling to the balcony ceiling, and it truly adds another level of beauty to this home. We love how the brown tones in the cedar complement the tones of the green exterior paint color!

What our Clients are Saying
“Greg Christianson's team took the plan and the ideas we had about an open floor plan and made it happen. Transforming an aging rambler into a bright welcoming home. They did a fantastic job and we would hire them again in a flash.”

“..It's apparent when you work with them that they are interested in building long term relationships, not just making money on one particular job...”
Kate & Kevin Day, Corvallis
“G. Christianson Construction has completed two remodel projects in my home, both with stellar results. They were very good at solving problems, explaining options, costs, and potential solutions, and I always felt comfortable asking questions. I always knew when and what was going to be happening, and everyone on the crew was easy to work with (and have around!). I highly recommend them because of the high quality of work, they are easy to work with, responsive to concerns, and always available for any follow-up.”
