Home Sweet Home!

Simple design inspiration using color can dramatically change something old into something new and refreshing. We were fortunate to be able to turned our ho-hum, lowluster house appearance into a revitalized, classic home for generations to come.

Initially, our house was a Cape Cod Grey, vinyl siding. Over the years, the sun gradually faded the Grey to a light brown. Most characteristic of a builder’s grade box house and subtle hints of the 1970’s made our house seem outdated and invisible.

Builder Grade Attributes:

  • Cape Cod Grey Vinyl Shake Siding
  • Flat Panel Crosshead above windows
  • Double hung windows with grilles
  • Arch Top Window in the middle of the house.
  • Basic Round Top Surfact Gable Vent
  • Buidler’s Grade Fiberglass Oval Lite Single Front door with Sidelights
