FRESH FACE
FORWARD
BEFORE
Your home’ s exterior is its first impression, and first impressions matter. A fresh, well designed façade does far more than protect against the elements. It sets the tone for the entire house, reflects your personal style, and establishes curb appeal that lasts for years. Whether it ' s a weekend refresh or a full scale renovation, updating your home’ s exterior can transform a tired, outdated dwelling into a modern, striking statement while also increasing its overall value.
AFTER
Elevating the Entrance
In this first project, the renovation team focused on the front entrance, showing how texture and detail can dramatically reshape a home’ s character. The standout feature is a striking Novik Stone Accent wall at the porch. The rugged texture and rich stonework turned the entry into a bold, sophisticated focal point. To complement the stone, the crew replaced the soffit, fascia, and eavestroughs with crisp new trim in moody, dark tones. The contrast between the dark trim and the lighter siding gives the home a modern, refined presence that commands attention in every season, from snowy winters to lush summers.
Design and Curb Appeal
The second project highlights the transformative power of siding and how selecting the right material can modernize a home without sacrificing durability. By replacing the original cladding with chocolate brown vertical steel siding, the exterior gained a sleek, contemporary edge. Even the chimney was clad in matching steel, turning it from an afterthought into a deliberate vertical design statement. The unified metal wrap, siding plus chimney, draws the eye upward and gives the façade a seamless, architectural elegance. It proves that low maintenance materials like steel siding can deliver high end, design forward results.
Together, these projects illustrate how thoughtful exterior updates, from textured stone accents to modern metal siding, can elevate a home’ s look and feel. Whether you are drawn to rugged sophistication or sleek contemporary lines, the right materials and design choices can transform your house into a home with lasting curb appeal.
