Exterior Facade Designs

The Façade is the most important element to any home.  Whether the home is built from scratch or an out of date house is converted to a new design.  Once you have selected the design you want, all elements must be true to that design.  Color, texture, windows, roof, porch, etc., should all be on the same page in order to give you the finished product you are looking for.  Plus, it is always important to remember “Resale Value”.  Don’t throw money away.

The photo below demonstrates how we transformed a plain 1500 sq. ft. house built in the 1930's into a charming English cottage.

She prefers to not do structural plans thus an Architect will be needed for that phase.  However, she can coordinate between you and the Architect as well as work with the architect during the construction phase on your behalf so you receive the product you want.
