Exterior: Before and In Progress!

We at Cash for Homes in Long Island love to share our before and afters with you; as well as the progress along the way!

This cape-styled home is set on just shy of a quarter acre of property. 4 bedrooms, two and a half baths, a full basement and a private driveway are just some of the home’s features.

The house was in poor condition upon purchasing. The backyard alone took a couple of weeks to clear. A large downed tree, tops to a couple of cars, debris and a run down shed are just some of the things that took up the backyard. Below is a picture of the backyard before any work began.

Next we see pictures of the house after all debris has been cleared. The rear exterior of the house is finally exposed and the depth of the property can be appreciated.

Interior: Before and In Progress

Check out the photos of the home’s interior. As you can see, the previous owners left quite a bit of belongings, to say the least! The home certainly was a sight to see…and smell. Their was a pungent odor of animal in the air…among other things. For a quick tour of the house before we began to demo and gut, check it out here! Here are the pictures. Sometimes you have to see it to believe it!

Now that the house has been cleared and gutted we have begun to fix electrical and plumbing issues, replace insulation and sheet rock and begin the actual renovation. Take a look:

Biggest Change

Next, we decided to completely remove the fireplace and completely open up the living space.
