Springwood Builders embarked on a heartwarming journey to revitalize Andrew and Carol’s cherished family camp in the serene town of Cooper, Maine. Over 12 weeks, the team renovated this traditional camp, transforming it into a low-maintenance modern haven while preserving its original charm and character. The aim was to ensure the camp remained a beloved family escape for many years.
Andrew and Carol sought a trusted partner to help preserve their family camp’s legacy while making it more sustainable and easier to maintain. They wanted to ensure the camp remained as true to its original form as possible while being practical for modern living. Springwood Builders, who were trusted with their daughter’s home renovation, were the obvious choice for bringing this vision to life.
The project faced a significant obstacle due to its location, which was quite far from the team’s base. Unique living arrangements and long hours were necessary for the crew to focus on the renovation.
The meticulous process of preserving and reusing the original cedar shingles also presented challenges that required significant time and creativity.
Springwood Builders and the homeowners embarked on a collaborative design process, leveraging video calls and site visits to select materials and finalize measurements meticulously. The aim was to ensure the camp’s aesthetic remained intact while incorporating modern elements for convenience and sustainability.
The build phase was a testament to precision and hard work, involving jacking up the buildings for leveling, installing new windows and roofing, and extensive trim work. Each step was carefully executed to blend the new additions seamlessly with the camp’s original look.
Andrew and Carol were overjoyed with their completed project. The remodel fulfilled their vision of maintaining the camp’s original charm and significantly reduced future maintenance needs, allowing them to enjoy their peaceful retreat with minimal hassle.
Springwood Builders’ dedication to understanding and executing Andrew and Carol’s vision resulted in a beautifully remodeled camp that honors its history while embracing the future.
