Site Specific

The historic beauty of the buildings on the East Side is reason enough to justify why residents love this neighborhood. However, there are limitations that range from small lot space to living areas that don’t match occupant needs. Some older homes’ rooms are so antiquated that they’ve lost their original functionality. Site Specific co-owner Peter Crump explains that his company is handling a lot of kitchen renovations lately. “People are asking us to remove structural walls, opening up and into formal dining rooms,” he explains. “Families aren’t sitting down to dinner at a formal dining room table anymore. They are looking for a more casual dinner atmosphere and a larger open kitchen.” These types of projects usher in modern layout needs to historic homes. Site Specific has also done a lot of work recently building out master bedroom and bathroom suites.

Site Specific has extensive experience working on the East Side and beyond. They are mindful of architectural details and won’t miss any required repairs that might arise. “There are great handymen out there for small projects, and there are professionals for the more complicated ones,” Peter mentions. “You often need a structural engineer to assist. We team up with Erik Nelson, from Structures Workshop, Inc. for our residential and commercial projects.”

For commercial work, Site Specific is working on the former Tazza space downtown and they are also working to expand Bodega Malasaña (the same owners of the popular Flan y Ajo). Site Specific is currently engaged in building the retail space for DownCity Outfitters, a new urban gear store that will be situated in the Biltmore garage property, opening sometime soon.
