Exterior Face-Lift Project

The owners of this home decided that since their home had been built in 1945, and little work had been done to the exterior since that time besides basic maintenance and upkeep, it was in dire need of a face-lift
(see photo 1).

The windows in the home were the original windows that had been installed at the time the home had been built and were drafty in the winter months making it more difficult to heat the home. New energy efficient windows and doors were chosen to help with this problem. As the home has a significant number of windows, this was a very important feature for the homeowners as it would help them to more effectively heat their home during the colder months of the year. The result was an improved look with reduced drafty spots.

To further improve the home's aesthetic appeal, siding and a new roof were installed, with the shingles complimenting the colour of the new siding. The front step area of the home was expanded to include a larger covered area complete with decorative columns to further enhance the home's new makeover (see photo 2).

Changing the look of your home through renovations cannot only add years to your home's longevity, but it also improves the satisfaction that the homeowner has towards their dwelling.
