Here’s a little video recap we did of our rehab at 107 Granger St in Springfield.
Happy Thanksgiving and Foundation Work
First off I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you enjoyed your turkey…. or if you’re like my partner Dominic, I hope you enjoyed your steak (yes Dominic eats Filet Mignon on Thanksgiving, what a snob!!)
We tackled the foundation repair at Bruce St over the last week.
Our first step was to jack the house up and tear out the bad walls. Here’s what it looked like;
Once this was complete we laid a new footing and rebuilt the wall.
Here’s a video with an update of the progress:
We’ve been using a new video man to film and put our movies together. I think they are coming out real nice….. alot better than those old movies I was putting together in Windows Movie Maker!!
Well that’s all I got for now. We’ve got a couple new purchases in the works…. and are selling some of our finished properties. The market has slowed down for the winter and holidays, but there are still a good amount of buyers out there actively looking for new homes!!
More Bruce St Demo
Wow, this demo stuff is fun!!!! Check out the little video we made from the first day of demo at our Bruce St project.

We now have the new roof built up, it is all framed, has new plywood and is shingled.
We have also stripped all the old siding off the house and have it ready for our awesome new Tan siding.

If you look closely at the pictures above you can see we have dug out all along the foundation wall on the right side of the house. This is the wall that we are going to be tearing out and replacing. It is cracking right in the middle and has a real nasty bow to it.
Here are some pics of the bad foundation, look closely and you can see the way it bows in right in the middle:

So thats our next big fix at this house. Right now the house is all jacked up off the foundation and the bad wall will be torn out and rebuilt.
– Happy Flipping

64 Fullerton St, Rehab Complete – House Flip Update
Last week we sold our almost new construction rehab at 9 Juliette St in Chicopee MA. We found this buyer just two weeks back and he was willing to pay cash for the property so we were able to get it closed up real quick. Our buyer did want some changes made to the house so we had our contractor Jason busting his ass to get them done in a very tight time frame. All in all it was a pretty good deal. We did take a slight discount on our asking price due to the “cash” status of our buyer…. but when your buyer gives a non-refundable $10k deposit and wants to close in 2 weeks you become a bit more flexible as a seller.
Now onto some ongoing projects;
Our 64 Fullerton St rehab is complete and now on the market.
This property was a full interior gut renovation with new electrical, new plumbing, new heating system, new kitchen, adding a half bath, installing all new windows, adding insulation, new sheetrock, new paint and all new flooring. The outside needed alot of landscaping and tree clearing, but it did have a new roof and good siding when we purchased the home.
We did have to do some major work to the 2 car garage. This consisted of tearing off a falling down addition, siding the garage and doing a new roof on the garage.
Overall I think we spent a little over $50k on the renovations…. and the house came out awesome, as usual.
Check out the video and photos we did of 64 Fullerton St. (You can see all the before pics HERE)
Rehab Complete – 51 Crystal Ave Springfield MA
Our rehab of 51 Crystal Ave in Springfield is now complete. This house was a full gut rehab and came out very nice.
Check out the photos and see for yourself!! (You can see the awesome before pics HERE)
51 Crystal Ave – House Renovation Update
Last time I showed you our property on Crystal Ave in Springfield it was being gutted down to the studs.
It is now nearly complete and we will be putting it on the market shortly. This house was a full gut and we are doing new everything… roof, siding, windows, mechanicals, kitchen, bathrooms, floors, third floor expansion, driveway…. you get the picture; everything.
It’s definitely going to be the best house on the street by far. It’s in a part of the city that we don’t do alot of houses in, so selling something in this area will be a new experience for us.
I just realized right now that I never put up any before pics of this house… only some demo pics. So I’m going to post some before pics here. This house was really nasty and you’ll get a sense as to why we chose to do a full gut. I will also post some pics I took of the house from last week as we are getting close to finishing.
Here are the before pics;
Some houses you walk into, take a look around, realize that there isn’t anything worth saving, and you just say “OK, lets gut it”. This was one of them….
Now time for some pictures that are a little more pretty. We removed quite a few walls from the first floor to give this house a great open floor plan.
The converted third floor is coming out very cool. We moved and rebuilt the staircase going up there and made it all open…. almost like a loft. This space could be used as a fourth bedroom, office, den, etc…..
Allright, so this one should be finishing up within a few days. We will stage it and get it for sale. I’ll post some pics of the fully rehabbed house when we’re done.
-Happy Flipping!!
107 Granger St – Finished and Staged
We’ve finished up our rehab of 107 Granger St in Springfield and the house is officially for sale.
This one came out real nice. This is the first house we went with a little darker cherry cabinet to go along with our black granite and full stainless steel appliance package. It came out great and will probably be our new standard going forward.
The rehab of this property was pretty straightforward. We expanded and converted the breezeway into living space, finished the basement, added a third bedroom, installed a new furnace and water heater, installed new plumbing, installed a new roof, gutted and redid the kitchen and bathrooms, knocked out a bunch of walls, and generally made the house look awesome!!!!
I’ve made a couple posts about this property. You can see the before pics HERE, the demo video HERE and the house all gutted HERE.
Now have a look at the finished product:
I think the house looks real sweet. Now all we need is a new family to make it their home.
-Happy Flipping!!
