**Spotlight on Cedar Trail Construction’s Commitment to Hand Up Projects! 🌟**
We’re thrilled to share the story of our latest Hand Up Project, where Cedar Trail Construction played a pivotal role in transforming a homeowner’s space.
We partnered with the homeowner to provide accomodating size options. She selected a beautiful shower enclosure, base, and dark bronze sliding glass door. We replaced her traditional bathtub with a modern walk-in shower, ensuring safety and accessibility.
But our involvement didn’t stop there! This comprehensive project included essential plumbing upgrades, the installation of stylish new hardware, meticulous drywall repairs around the shower enclosure, and a fresh coat of paint to bring the whole room to life!
With Cedar Trail Construction, we amplify the impact of every contribution. We provided these upgrades at no additional cost to the homeowner. The total value of this project added $14,000 in equity to their home! We are proud to highlight this new bathroom for our deserving single parent homeowner.
