| 701 S. I Street, Tacoma, WA This bank-owned 1890 Victorian had been red-tagged by the City of Tacoma and recently had indigents in residence. The first floor interior had been completely gutted to the studs, the house lacked functional heating, plumbing or electrical and there were large holes in the floors dropping straight through to the basement. Fortunately, the beautiful staircase and original fireplace mantle were still intact if a bit worse for wear. Jeff had the first floor properly reinforced to support the second story, he insulated exterior walls, rebuilt the partition walls back in their original locations, and he recreated the first floor bath. Leaking windows, roof and doors were replaced, illegal bedroom additions in the basement were removed, the kitchen was restored and the upstairs bath was updated. One of Jeff's more dramatic transformations, this beautiful home is now the shining gem of this historic neighborhood!bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reobank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reobank owned repo gig harbor lakewood bank flip owned reo home house remodeltacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood |

| 4309 N. 32nd Street, Tacoma, WA This 1909 Craftsman was a bank repo that had been deemed uninhabitable by the City of Tacoma and subsequently red tagged. This home's restoration was akin to a forensic demolition, involving removal of layers of strange and misguided renovations and additions to create a functional floor plan. The entire first floor was stripped to the studs, improper framing problems were corrected to adequately support the second story and a new floor plan was developed. A formal dining room was created in an area that had previously been a small bedroom and kitchen, and its kitchen was shifted into what had been a family room area. Appropriate materials were used to reside the exterior, vinyl windows were replaced with dual glaze reproduction wood windows, an illegal "man cave" was removed from the garage and all systems were replaced. This beautiful home is now more than safe to inhabit! bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned repo gig harbor lakewood bank flip owned reo home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood |

| 2911 N. Lawrence Street, Tacoma, WA This 1929 Craftsman went through an unfortunate "update" in the 1950's, which stripped it of most of its original charm and character. Original siding was covered with "spray on" aggregate stucco, its kitchen was enlarged, a small bedroom was added on the second floor, windows were removed and shortened, and original bathrooms were remodeled. Jeff removed all evidence of that 1950's remodel by adding period appropriate siding to the exterior, replacing the shortened windows, replacing a plywood garage door, renovating the kitchen and baths and creating a master bath from a small added upstairs bedroom. Outdated plumbing and electrical systems were replaced as well. The end result is a 1929 Craftsman that the Proctor district can be proud of for years to come. historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place |

3419 N. 27th St., Tacoma, WA
This rare shingle style 1890's Victorian in Proctor was the victim of a bad kitchen and whole house remodel in the 1980's. This house and guest cottage were both in need of exterior maintenance and repair as well as a complete interior restoration. Jeff gutted the kitchen, removing soffets from the ceiling and raised the roof by six inches to accomodate upper cabinets. He gutted baths in both the main house and guest cottage, replaced a non-functioning jacuzzi tub with a more period appropriate tub and replaced damaged hardwood floors. The end result was the complete rejuvenation of the "Semple House", one of the latest additions to Tacoma's Register of Historic Places.flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned |

623 N. Steele St., Tacoma, WA
This charming 1900 post-Victorian cottage was illegally converted into a duplex in the 1950's. It was a poorly maintained bank owned property when Jeff purchased it. The home had two front doors, non-functioning wall heaters and an upstairs bathroom that could only be accessed through a 5 foot tall opening in the upstairs kitchen. The original dining room was being used as a downstairs kitchen. Jeff merged the two units to create a 3BD/2BA single family home. He removed an illegal upstairs bathroom addition, created an upstairs bath and hall closet in an area that had been an upstairs kitchen and restored the original kitchen to an area that had been converted to a bedroom in the downstairs unit. It now features all new electrical, plumbing and heating as well as new hardwood floors, carpeting and tile, and kitchen and both bathrooms are new.historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma |

812 N. Anderson St., Tacoma, WA
This stately 1915 American Four Square was a poorly maintained rental property for a number of years and sorely in need of refurbishing. Tenants' pets had taken a toll on the grounds and the interior. Jeff painted inside and out and had the grounds re-landscaped, removing large trees and hedges that had been hiding the home. He replaced the front deck and railing, repaired interior doors and windows, refinished wood floors and updated the kitchen and laundry area. flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel repo gig harbor lakewood bank flip owned reo tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned |

2646 Bowring Drive, Altadena, CA Jeff had this Monterey Colonial Revival built on the foundation of a pre-existing 1950 California Ranch. Sited on a freshly landscaped 1/2 acre lot with refurbished pool and spa, the house was essentially new from the ground up. |

614 Cavanagh Road, Glendale, CA
This 1930 Spanish Revival had previously undergone a poorly conceived remodel, including an introduction of vinyl windows. Jeff removed all evidence of the previous remodel, creating a new master suite with a fireplace and renovating the kitchen and baths. All mechanical systems were updated, roof was replaced and its 1/3 of an acre lot was re-landscaped. tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned repo gig harbor lakewood bank flip owned reo home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank

Originally a derelict home with great mid-century lines, this house had six large dogs in residence when Jeff purchased it. It had been owned by a woman that rescued homeless dogs - good for the dogs, bad for the house. A complete remodel of the property included a kitchen remodel, addition of a new bath and complete re-landscaping of its grounds. flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel repo gig harbor lakewood bank flip owned reo tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place bank owned home houAfterse remodel repo reo

| 1460 N Chester Ave., Pasadena, CA Located in the heart of Pasadena's historic Highlands district, this sadly neglected 1913 Craftsman was completely rat infested, with giant holes in its walls. All of the original interior details were missing, there was no heat source and plumbing was essentially non-functional. Jeff restored the woodwork and repaired extensive wood damage caused by a leaking roof. He rebuilt the fireplace and chimney and created a master suite by adding a walk-in closet, bath and additional fireplace. All mechanical systems were updated, the roof was replaced and the collapsed garage was rebuilt in keeping with the original. After Jeff's renovations, the property was chosen to be included as part of the Highlands Holiday Home Tour.gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank owned home house remodel tacoma historic flipping place renovation university lakewood gig harbor flip repo reo bank |
