As discussed previously in posts on this blog there are some areas of the exterior that need some attention. Our crews have already addresed the most severe spots on the home; these were areas that presented water leakage and that had to be fixed. With that out of the way and a our budget for exterior repairs still looking good the owners have decided to concentrate efforts on the front, specifically to the right of the front door where you see a two story bumopout that houses some of the old, beautiful orignal windows. Much of the siding there was cracked and beginning to show signs of falling. As you can see we have erected a scaffold systme to work off of; this helps the process move along more quickly as well as provides a safer work platform for the crew. The new siding pieces that we are installing match the size and profile of the old lap siding but are pre-primed on both sides and are made from a wood species called Paulownia. It's a product that we recommend highly for its many great qualities. Learn about them here: In a few days time this section will be restored and ready for paint.
Other similar repairs will be made to the front of the home to enhance the curb appeal; after all you never get a second chance to make a first impression!
