Bathroom Remodel on Tillamook

After the kitchen and living room were completed on Tillamook the customers decided to revamp the bath as well.



We chose a 12"x 12" ceramic tile for the floor.




6"x6" ceramic tile was used on the vanity top with a 3"x12" back splash and a 6" rounded trim edge. We reused the existing sink but dressed it up with a new faucet.




To tie the room together we continued the same 6"x6" tile around the existing tub-shower.

Interior Remodel on Tillamook

One of our recent projects has been an Interior Remodel on Tilamook in Hide-A-Way Hills. The "face lift" we gave the home included, a new hard wood floor in the living room, a new ceramic tile floor in the kitchen, new granite tile kitchen counter tops, and a solid maple butcher-block island counter top.

The kitchen before vinyl and carpet floors with laminate counter tops.




The the floors have been prepared for the tile by installing concrete backer board.




The tile has started to be installed with an accent border around the perimeter of the floor.




We chose granite tile for the counter tops over solid granite with about a 75% cost savings.

The Butcher Block Island Top was custom made from solid maple then installed on a repositioned existing cabinet.

The completed kitchen with new tile floor, granite counter, and butcher block island.







The hardwood floor we chose to use is 2 1/4 oak with a natural finish. To cary the border in to the living room from the kitchen an inlay finished in gunstock is installed around the perimeter of the room.

Stairs and Landing

As part of the deck project on Alpine Lane the home owners wanted to replace the stairs on the front porch to give the house a more formal entry and provide a safer hand rail system.

New Deck on Alpine Drive

One of our latest projects at Scott Martin Construction is a New Deck on Alpine Drive in Hide-A-Way Hills.


The old 5'x8' deck was in pretty bad shape and needed to be removed.




After the old deck was removed we begin construction of the new 16'x22' multi-level deck.

Holes for concrete foundations are dug 32" below grade, to prevent movement during freezing and thawing. 4x4 support posts are then attatched using galvanised brackets.





2x8 joists are installed 16" on center over twin 2x10 beams.

Golf Tournament



Today Scott Martin Construction sponsered a hole in a charity golf tournament benifiting Lifeline of Ohio at Pumpkin Vine Golf Course.Lifeline of Ohio is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to promote and coordinate the donation of human organs and tissue for transplantation.

Hard Wood Floor Progress

The progress continues on our Taos Lane Hard Wood Floor.




Hard Wood Floor

Our current project at Scott Martin Construction is a Hard Wood Floor installation in a home on Taos Lane in Hide-A-Way Hills. The scope of this project will entail removing all the kitchen cabinets, taking out existing ceramic tile, removing a pantry to allow a new pantry to be constructed in a more convenient location, installing a patio door where a window once was located and re-installing the original kitchen cabinetry.




Shawnee Lane New Build

It rained today so while I had some free time I took the opportunity to take some pictures of a home we built a few years ago on Shawnee Lane in Hide-A-Way Hills.

The owners on this project had a cabin on Lake Eagle Claw that they wanted to tear down and build a new home closer to the water.




With the new house located closer to the water, we had to design a switch back driveway because of the steep angle of the lot.

Left Side Front



The house is sided with T-111 siding and roofed with 30 year dimensional shingles.





We used oak spindles, handrails, and trim to complete the twin stairways that lead to lofts on either end of the house.

Door Replacement

As part of the porch remodel on Kusa Lane in Hide-A-Way Hills, the owners chose to replace the existing steel front door with a new solid wood door. The Nine light solid fir door was finished with exterior spar urethane to allow the natural colors of the wood to be seen.

Country Porch

As part of our remodeling project on Kusa Lane, the customers wanted a porch roof added to their garage to cover an existing deck. This porch roof is built using pressure treated 4x4 posts, 2 pressure treated 2x8 beams, 2x6 rafters , and painted steel roofing.



Completed Porch at Clear Creek

We have completed the porch at Clear Creek Cottage. The 2"x8" rafters are rough sawn pine from an Amish sawmill. The roof is exposed on the underside and was constructed from T-111 plywood over-laid with oriented strand board to prevent the roofing nails from coming through.



Clear Creek Progress

The dry wall has been completed at our remodel at Clear Creek Cottage. The deck is also finished with the post and beam porch and the roof is underway.
