This project’s homeowners loved many things about their 1950s home: the updated interior, the great natural lighting, the fact that they were within walking distance from Kerrytown and Downtown Ann Arbor, etc.

What did they not love about their home? The exterior. All of it. They thought their home looked dumpy, cheap, and unkempt — their words, not ours!

Their wish was to do a full overhaul, transforming their home’s exterior to align with its updated interior and their design preferences. They also wanted to add some energy-efficient features that would make their home more comfortable year-round. They were finding it difficult to get above 64°F in the winter, and they were dealing with siding mildew in the summer.

Finally, the homeowners didn’t want to have the run-of-the-mill home that everyone else on their street had. They were asking for different, and they weren’t afraid to stand out. So that’s what Meadowlark helped them do.
