Hi

We had a foundation and major construction done by Mark Phelps of Winni Construction. He has great subcontractors too. His phone is 603-768-9966.

I don't know if he will travel to Moultonborough, but he is definitely worth calling.

Good luck with your project.

Mark and Earl went there seperate ways a few years ago and Earl has all the equipment now so not sure Mark could do it. If he can't I can give you Earl's number.

Not posting to distract from your ambitions.

If this is a camp you might think about a whole new house.

I had a small summer camp moved to a foundation. All went well. But the end result is a camp made out of 2 x 4. The whole interor was gutted. Upgraded most. New wiring. New pipes. New furnace. Depending on age of building. Not much was square. Dimensional lumber in the old days is different from dimensional lumber today. R value of insulation related to 2 x 4 thickness of walls. Lots of nit picking issues.

In the end I would have been better off constructing a new home.

The house is in great shape built in 1989. New plumbing and insulated well. Just the floor/lack of foundation is the only issue. I'd love to hear more advise!!! Thanks...

Default Alton Contractor for foundations

Check out the website for Bayside Concrete: www.baysideconcretenh.com

They are located in Alton, but their site shows their work area extends around the lake. I have seen many examples of their work, and the owner Bob Burton is a great guy.

I can also recommend Bayside Concrete. The picture of the foundation on their home page is the foundation of my house in West Alton. I can also highly recommend Tradesmen Builders of Laconia for your renovations. They did the finish work on my house in West Alton, and have also done many other projects at my house on Little Bear and also at my business location. Their website is www.tradesmenbuilders.com The picture on their home page is my house in West Alton finished. Contact Rich or Larry at Tradesmen.

Mountain Top Builders, Sanbornton, 603-286-8144
We had an addition and dormers put on, a stunning fire place built, a new roof, all new windows and siding done by the company. They are excellent; come on schedule, come in at cost, immaculate work-site, easy to communicate with and beautiful workmanship! I would definitely hire them for future projects.

I've been considering the same thing—but with a cottage with a smaller footprint.

There are a few annoyances that could be changed at the same time. Could this be completed without "losing" a summer season?

I'd be curious what number of dollars would bring these considerations to a halt—some round number like $40K, $60K, $100K...
