Strapping across the rafters for metal roof attachment. A lot of extra painting on this project with all the white and black but worth it. The finished we chose have become staples in our toolkit. Lookswise and functionality-wise. By the way, this is the back screen porch roof framing.

Cool, Contemporary, Curb appeal now feels like home!!! This complete exterior home renovation & curb appeal now makes sense with the interior remodel our client had installed prior to us gettting started!!! The modifications made to this home, along with premium materials makes this home feel cozy, cool & comfortable. Its as though the home has come alive, making this same space more functional & feel so much better, a new found energy. The existing traditional missized semi-circle driveway that took up the entire frontyard was removed. This allowed us to design & install a new more functional driveway as well as create a huge courtyard that not only adds privacy and protection, it looks and feels incredible. Now our client can actually use the front yard for more than just parking cars. The modification addition of 5 stucco columns creates the feeling of a much larger space than what was there prior...who know that these cosmectic columns would actually feel like arms that wrap around the new curb appeal...almost like a vibe of protection. The contrasting paint colors add more movement and depth continuing the feeling of this great space! The new smooth limestone courtyard and custom iron "x" designed fence & gates create a weight type feeling that not only adds privacy, it just feels & looks solid. Its as if its a silent barrier between the homeowners inside and the rest of the world. Our clients now feel comfortable in there new found outdoor living spaces behind the courtyard walls. A place for family, friends and neighbors can easliy conversate & relax. Whether hanging out with the kids or just watching the kids play around in the frontyard, the courtyard was critical to adding a much needed play space. Art is brought into the picture with 2 stone wall monuments...one adding the address numbers with low voltage ligthing to one side of the yard and another that adds balance to the opposite side with custom cut in light fixtures that says... this... is... thee, house! Drystack 8" bed rough chop buff leuders stone planters & short walls outline and accentuate the forever lawn turf as well as the new plant life & lighting. The limestone serves as a grade wall for leveling, as well as the walls are completely permeable for long life and function. Something every parapet home should have, we've added custom down spouts tied to an under ground drainage system. Another way we add longevity to each project. Lastly...lighting is the icing on the cake. Wall lights, path light, down lights, up lights & step lights are all to important along with every light location is considerd as to add a breath taking ambiance of envy. No airplane runway or helicopter landing lights here. We cant wait for summer as the landscape is sure to fill up with color in every corner of this beautiful new outdoor space.

Close up detail of rear screen porch. I know with standard non-rustic non-timberframe work in the past we had always been encouraged to never show the wane on the wood (the bark portion showing on the column). Always cut off the wane, or hide the wane by placing it where it would never be seen. It's been so refreshing embracing the wane, loving the wane, showing it. As we said in the 80's...i think it looks mint.

Awwww.. just love another closeup of the timbers. You can really get a feel for the roughness and texture of it even without being there. Another little detail. There are little foam gaskets formed for the corrugated roof that go right here. That helps keep any bugs out like the screens below.

Just another shot of the almost finished rear screen porch metal roof. We haven't flashed against the house yet.

A pic from underneath the front entry way porch during construction. Nice closer view of the really nice metal siding on this project. I like the rib pattern. Board and Batten wood is one of my favorites but the maintenance is a lot. This looks the same from a litle distance.

In a recent project, we took outdoor living to the next level by creating a seamless extension of this home's elegance. We constructed a concrete patio, crowned with an open gable roof crafted from composite materials, meticulously designed to mirror the existing home's aesthetics. Then, we screened it in, transforming it into a pest-free outdoor living space. The result is a harmonious blend of functionality and style, where the indoors meet the outdoors with flawless grace, offering a tranquil, insect-free sanctuary to cherish.
