This wonderful exterior renovation started with the owners' vision to transform their home with a craftsman porch. In order to achieve this traditional feeling, (along with needed repairs and window replacements), the siding, windows and trim were redesigned.
We introduced continuous bandboard trim, windows with a "prairie" style divided light pattern and a stone base around the new porch and existing house.
The porch is the most dramatic with tapered craftsman columns, stone piers and oversize roof brackets.
