Front-before:
This colonial was built in the early 1970’s. Although the property was beautiful and the size of the house adequate, the quality of the construction was mediocre. The owners were seeking a face-lift, a more usable space layout, and a dramatic improvement in the performance qualities of the house.


Rear-before:
The back yard was small but completely private, bright, and framed by beautiful stone outcroppings and walls. Unfortunately, the only connection to the yard was through a remote mudroom.


Sheathing-before:
Corners had been cut in many places. Aluminum windows contributed to excessive heat loss. Small pieces of plywood sheathing were used to reduce material costs, and the windows were not flashed against moisture entry. In other areas, required structural elements were missing or compromised.


Bldg wrap:
New energy efficient fiberglass windows were installed with adhesive membrane flashing for moisture protection. The sheathing was repaired and covered with a plastic building wrap that uses vertical cords to create a gravity drainage mechanism for moisture that gets behind the siding.


Front:
The owners selected a Craftsman appearance, with cedar shakes over cement fiber clapboards. All of the exterior products are man-made with extended warranties. They were selected for durability and low maintenance, in addition to their attractive appearance.


Rear view 2:
The new deck is much smaller and centrally located. The deck is now located off of an informal dining area directly next to the kitchen with a wall of glass to visually connect the dining area to the back yard. The decking is a composite product and the pergola natural cedar, both of which are durable and low maintenance.


New Kitchen:
The new kitchen features cherry cabinetry and quartz countertops. The revised floor plan places the kitchen and family dining area in a central location, which allows visual contact with the family room, formal dining room and rear deck.
