Next up, we removed the old siding.

Then we installed new insulation foam board, Tyvek house wrap and sealed all windows and doors.

The color of the low maintenance new vinyl siding will contrast nicely with the white trim.

Not only does the new siding give the home a much needed pop of color, it almost makes the home look like a completely different house!

For the back of the house, the homeowners were looking to create a more inviting outdoor living space for entertaining and relaxing.

The old deck wasn’t functional(or inviting).

The old deck was removed and we extended the new deck 6’ and raised it to within 3” of the existing finished floor of the house to create a seamless transition from the inside out.

The end result is both functional and beautiful. It is now large enough to host a group of friends and family.

The goal was to improve the function of the home’s entry, which was poorly designed and trapped in the past. The walkway was crumbling and created a not-so-welcoming entry.

We installed new stairs, bluestone treads, stone face risers, and bluestone for the porch landing and expanded the new walkway (accented with pavers) to carve a path from the driveway to usher guests to the new front entry.

We created a new portico over the front door to give this home much-needed dimension and personality.

Natural stone veneer now flanks the wide steps accented with stone to beef up the front door’s presence and create a warm welcome.

Lanterns flanking the new front door dramatically improve the entry’s function. As you can see, the end result was amazing.

Replacing the generic and outdated garage doors was next on the list.

Once work started, we discovered that the garage door legs and framing were rotted and the existing header was undersized and sagging 1-1.5” from the weight above.

Despite these limitations, the garage is now not only safe, but the addition of carriage style doors and a few upgrades such as architectural enhancements and hardware add exquisite character to the home.

Intricate natural stone veneer now runs along the foundation wall to the front door and the sides of the house, creating symmetry and a stronger first impression.

The finishing touch to this exterior facelift was to create a brand new driveway. As you can see, the original driveway was very dated and less than appealing.

The existing driveway was torn out and regraded for proper pitch and water runoff.

A new retaining wall was created to match the natural stone veneer on the house and connect the walkway to the driveway.

Isn’t the masonry gorgeous?

Stone pavers now line the new driveway.
