Exterior Renovation: New Siding and Front Porch
January 14, 2011 by Shawn Van Dyke · Leave a Comment
We love working with new clients and helping them realize their vision for their projects, but nothing gives us the warm fuzzies like having a repeat projects from former clients.
The Gleason’s (see Grand Master Bathroom Remodel) called RCS in the summer of 2009 and told us they needed our help to renovate the exterior of their home. We couldn’t wait to get started on helping them design a project that would completely change the exterior look of their home.
The following was the SCOPE of WORK we developed:
1. Tear out the concrete stoop, uneven steps, and concrete walk leading to the front of the house
2. Construct a new front porch with decorative columns, composite deck, vinyl handrails, standing seam metal roof, and painted bead board ceiling with a new ceiling fan.
3. Replace old single pane aluminum windows with (13) new energy efficient double pane, low E, double hung vinyl windows.
4. Install new vinyl siding on the entire house with the addition of vinyl shakes at the front gables (for an added splash of style).
5. Install a white subway tile backsplash in the kitchen.
6. Replace the existing concrete walk and failing retaining wall with a new segmental block wall and paver walkway with code compliant steps.
We may have worked ourselves out of a job…there’s not much left to do.
