TWO NORTH SLOPE RESTORATIONS YOU CAN'T MISS!!
That's the word that I think of when I see the before and after pictures of the property at 516 N "J" Street

The eyesore of the neighborhood get's a make-over by "Ovation Properties" and the neighbors are so excited about it that they even bring bottled water and occasional cookies over to the crew on the job. What a gorgeous home that dilapidated dump turned out to be after the incredible expertise and workmanship of the OP crew. Their two part motto of "Fair Bids" and "On Time" have proven to serve them well. Not to mention that their finished products are incredible!
Well...are you ready for the ugly duckling story? This is yet another account of an old historic WRECK of a house (the ugly duckling) in our historic district, that someone (namely Dave and Josie) fell in love with and totally and miraculously transformed in to a "Beautiful Swan." for our North Slope Dave, Josie and their son, Dylan, are living in the home instead of just flipping it because guess what?... That makes us neighbors! Doubly (is that a word?) lucky is the fact that Dave has decided to do this type of work for a living! That would be Sound Construction. He's already working on another North Slope project.
You probably know the house; it sits on the corner of 5th and "I" Street. It spent many years crumbling and cowering under the overgrowth of the bushes and trees that surrounded it, and the porch columns supporting the second floor had begun to give way creating injury to everything above them.
Back in the day this home had been grand, I'm sure, but when Dave & Josie got hold of it...well...I'm certain that it had never been so grand as it is now, and all in the name of historic preservation. Bravo Sound Construction!
So check out this before and after slide show of the "Ugly Duckling" house. It's amazing!
