Project Profile
Description: $300,000-plus residential remodel in Woodbury, N.Y.
Scope: Transformation
Type: Remodel
Location: Woodbury, N.Y.
Homeowners: The executive of a finance company with which Jarro worked. The family lived in a trailer on the property during remodeling. If Jarro hadn't completed the project on time, the company would have had to put up the family in a first-class hotel.

Narrative
Key considerations:
• The architect's plans called for a complete makeover of a five-bedroom, split-level home.
• Plans included extending the kitchen walls in two directions; adding a second story on one side; extending the second story over a new garage on the other; and including bathrooms in two new bedrooms.
• The architect also planned a laundry room and sumptuous bathroom in the master suite, and raised living room and dining room ceilings.

Result: The result of the "perfect collaboration" among Jarro, DeLuca and their client is a showcase home completed ahead of schedule.

Highlight: Architect James DeLuca specified Andersen casement windows and gliding patio doors throughout the house -- about $30,000 worth of them.

Testimonials: “With an Andersen products, everything is a ‘pro’ situation, from quality of material, affordability and flexibility to availability.” —James DeLuca, architect

Design Solution
That Grand Feeling
The original split-level design posed a special window challenge for architect James DeLuca. Ceiling height limited what he could do to create the open, airy feeling his clients wanted. He solved the problem by using a combination of Andersen Circle TopTM and casement windows. “We were able to get a tall, spacious feeling while enhancing the balance and proportions of the overall design,” he says.
