What do you do when you love your neighborhood, but don’t love your house? You give it a new look with a new front entry porch! In addition to adding a cover to their front door our clients wanted to construct a carport so that the existing garage could be converted to a garden and craft room. In addition to adding the casement windows looking out to the back yard we swapped out the original garage doors with aluminum and glass doors so that even when closed the garden and craft room had lots of natural light. As an added bonus - there is a retractable screen so that there can be a nice breeze even when it is bug season. We also expanded their living room area with folding steel doors opening to a new sunroom with wood beams and a brick floor. The swinging sofa bed is a fun place to hang out and read a book on a sunny day. Actually, this whole project started out as a renovation of our clients’ master suite that we worked with their interior designer on. Ever had one of those “while we are at it” thoughts?
