When we were introduced to this 1960s colonial, it was still sporting its original, heavily water-damaged cedar shingles and a rotted doghouse to access the basement. To bring this home back to life, we pulled out all the stops: replacing water-damaged plywood, framing studs and joists, replacing all exterior doors and windows, adding new vinyl siding, corners, soffits, fascia, rake boards, gutters and downspouts.

Now that we’re finished, this house is sealed, sound, and ready for decades of performance in New England weather.

See our blog post detailing this project here.

We replaced this 20-year-old pressure-treated deck with new pressure-treated framing and mahogany decking. As you can see, this decking was in bad shape with peeling paint and moldy deck boards, but it was even worse underneath with joists and ledger boards rotted nearly all the way through!

This home desperately needed an update, dealing with serious wear and rot. Our customer used this necessary renovation as an opportunity for a major refresh, choosing a timeless palette of Evergreen and sophisticated Platinum Gray.

For this project we:

• Fully removed old materials, addressed all damaged plywood across the roof and sidewalls
• Installed Evergreen CertainTeed Pro shingles over a fully waterproofed base of ice and water shield and synthetic underlayment
• Combined Alside Platinum Gray vinyl cedar shakes on the front facade for texture, with matching vinyl plank on the rest of the home
• Added all new trim, fascia, soffit, gutters, downspouts and replaced two windows.

This home is now built to withstand the elements and look stunning for decades.
