Outdoor Structure + Bar Build

This one is personal: a Mascolino family build — Anthony, his dad, and his brothers, from the first shovel of dirt to the last piece of stone. No handoffs, no subs disappearing mid-job. One family crew, start to finish.

It started as a corner of the yard with an old shed. We cleared the site, dug and squared the excavation by hand, laid the block foundation, and poured the slab — the boring, invisible work that decides whether a structure is still standing straight in thirty years.

Then it went vertical: framing, roof, shingles, siding, and a sliding door wall facing the patio. The finish move is the part everyone asks about — a stone-veneer bar under a covered porch with a ceiling fan, built for summer nights that don't end when the sun does.

The inside didn't get leftovers, either: insulated, drywalled, and finished with a vaulted ceiling, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, a loft storage shelf, and wood-look flooring. A real room — not a shed with a bar stapled to it.

Every stage is documented below because that's how we run every job: you should be able to see what your project looked like before it looked good.
