New siding, windows, doors, porches and roof lines that update how a home or building looks and performs.
The exterior is what everyone sees. A tired facade can hide a good building, and a thoughtful update can transform how a home or business is seen. Exterior work also affects comfort and durability, since windows, siding and roofing protect the building. Owners in Nashville ask us to redesign facades, add porches and entries and choose materials that look good and last.
We start with photographs, measurements and a conversation about what you like and what bothers you. We study the proportions, windows, entry and roofline and draw options for the exterior. We select materials and colors with you, coordinate details for waterproofing and flashing and prepare drawings for permit and construction. We review samples and mockups before ordering. Take photographs of the building from the street at morning, noon and evening, and note which features you like and which you want to change. Seeing the building in different light shows how materials and shadows work, and it helps us make choices that look good all day. Also gather any information you have about the siding, windows and roofing now in place, such as age, brand and repairs. Knowing what is under the surface helps us plan how new materials will attach and where flashing and waterproofing details need special care. Finally, check your neighborhood or HOA rules for exterior colors and materials. Understanding the limits at the start keeps the design inside the lines and avoids rework later.
Windows, doors, trim and rooflines are adjusted so the building feels balanced and welcoming.
