Not only can a third-floor bathroom be created from minimal space, but a number of seemingly im- possible remodel projects can transform into a beauti- fully reimagined, more functional home. Whether it’s a little nook being converted to a closet, or a simple corner in a room being repurposed as an additional bathroom, the possibilities are far and wide. Every house is unique and custom when it comes to the pos- sibilities of what can be re-done. If it can be done, 850 Building Group can do it, however, a variety of factors come into play when making these decisions, such as budget, limitations of space, the structures, layout, etc. TOP FOUR CHALLENGES FOR THIS JOB 1.
