Gutta House, Gut job, Gutted Out, Complete House Renovation


All on the first floor has been gutted out. All electrical has been soaked and had to be removed. The main electrical box was not in that area and was preserved.


Nothing is left on the first floor, it is bare to the dirt of the ground.  The blown in insulation has been completely removed.  The fiberglass bats have been removed, all flooring in the home has been removed and discarded.  Wind roared through the space for about two months because the crawl space hatch was left open to the inside of the house by the demolition contractors. It was exposed to the elements because of the removal of the floors which went right down to the removal of the sub-floor.







All upright interior walls will be removed. This space is going to be restored by creating an open floor plan. One bedroom will be reconstructed. It will be moved to the opposite side of the downstairs floor of the home. The bedroom-livingroom wall is being moved to create clear view of the body of water behind the home. The home will have a clear wide broad water view of a cove that opens onto Tangier Sound of the Chesapeake Bay. Moving the bedroom forward will free the back walls for installation of more windows to see the beautiful view.
