Updating a modern classic These clients adore their home’s location, nestled within a 2-1/2 acre site largely wooded and abutting a creek and nature preserve. They contacted us with the intent of repairing some exterior and interior issues that were causing deterioration, and needed some assistance with the design and selection of new exterior materials which were in need of replacement. Our new proposed exterior includes new natural wood siding, a stone base, and corrugated metal. New entry doors and new cable rails completed this exterior renovation. Additionally, we assisted these clients resurrect an existing pool cabana structure and detached 2-car garage which had fallen into disrepair. The garage / cabana building was renovated in the same aesthetic as the main house.

bennettbuilders This exterior remodel backing up to Cahoon Creek in Bay Village both updated the 1970s look of this home with a contemporary flair, and also solved the homeowners’ water intrusion issues. We installed custom-sized Hardie siding, new windows, doors, and roof. We also replaced the front porch with a more extensive composite decking and rail system, and removed the deteriorating rear deck, replacing it with a three-season screened-in rear porch to take advantage of the rear views.

These elegant, wide brick steps replaced old deteriorating salt treated ones. they create an easy entrance and exit to the porch and back door as well as provide a seating or gathering area during a party. The rounded edge of the bull nose brick is an elegant touch. The porch is now a composite material as well as the posts, trim and railings. Nancy Dransfield-Photographer

Separate vanities at opposite ends of the bath and separate closets were provided by architect Doug Walter and Creative Remodeling. Philip Wegener Photography

This image shows the original front entry condition before renovation. While the exterior appeared generally intact, there were signs of moisture intrusion at the base of the door and a localized area above the opening. Issues like these are often not fully visible from the surface and can indicate underlying deterioration behind the siding and trim, which was addressed during the repair and replacement process.

Every inch of the inside and outside living areas are re-conceived in this full house and guest-house renovation in Berkeley. In the main house the entire floor plan is flipped to re-orient public and private areas, with the formerly small, chopped up spaces opened and integrated with their surroundings. The studio, previously a deteriorating garage, is transformed into a clean and cozy space with an outdoor area of its own. A palette of screen walls, Corten steel, stucco and concrete connect the materiality and forms of the two spaces. What was a drab, dysfunctional bungalow is now an inspiring and livable home for a young family. Architecture by Tierney Conner Design Studio Photo by David Duncan Livingston.

Small townhouse deck remodel completed with full replacement of the old painted pressure-treated wood deck using Trex composite decking, Trex posts, and Trex railing for a longer-lasting and lower-maintenance finish. The project included removal of deteriorated materials, correction of uneven framing, and installation of new level structural components to support the new deck surface. The finished result provided a clean, durable, and updated outdoor space with improved appearance and performance.

This modern home in Houston’s Energy Corridor was designed with clean lines and bold geometry — a true reflection of contemporary style. When the homeowner noticed water intrusion around the aging front windows, it was time to take action. At Deskins Siding & Exteriors, we removed the deteriorating vinyl siding from the front elevation and installed Hardie® lap siding at a contemporary angle, enhancing the home’s architectural character while improving durability and moisture protection. We also replaced the original entry with a sleek, modern iron door unit that complements the updated façade and reinforces the home's design vision.

This historic Boston home, built in 1912, was on verge of complete deterioration after decades of neglect. When the home was purchased, the new owners were eager to make major renovations and add modern conveniences to the house. To move forward with the renos, they had to carefully follow the Massachusetts’ Historical Society guidelines and rules. To preserve the original window frames, it was not possible to install regular fixed screens for shading and insect protection. Luckily, Phantom’s retractable screens followed all of the Society’s guidelines, and provided the owners with the solar shade, ventilation and insect protection they needed.

The clients had an existing deck that they loved the shape and size of, but their wood decking had deteriorated to the point where it was becoming unsafe to use. We removed the existing deck and reframed a new one to match their original design. We used Gossen brand pvc in the Canyon Brown color for the new decking and fascias. The steps had l.e.d. lights made by Dekor installed for safety and additional cool factor in the evening hours when they are entertaining outside. The clients now have a new low maintenance deck that will bring them years of enjoyment. Thank you very much Mr. & Mrs. Poma for allowing us to rebuild your outdoor entertaining space!

Before renovation, this 25–30-year-old sunroom in Verona, NJ, had aging wood framing and persistent leaks from the glass roof. Years of water intrusion had damaged portions of the framing, and one door no longer operated properly. Vision Art Aluminium removed the deteriorated enclosure to prepare for a modern four-season aluminum and glass sunroom, preserving the original footprint.

The space below a basement staircase often goes to waste. This state-of-the-art wine closet turned this unused space into a connoisseur’s dream. Wine is one of the few things that can improve with age. But it can also rapidly deteriorate if kept in inadequate conditions. The three factors that have the most direct impact on a wine's condition are light, humidity and temperature. Another consideration is security for expensive wines that often appreciate in value. The storage area features a cedar panel ceiling, and custom racks and shelves over a granite floor. The style was carried throughout this total basement remodeling project.

This was a rebuild of an existing wood deck that was heavily deteriorated. You are looking at the lower section of a multi-tier deck. The homeowners wanted a maintenance free deck so we replaced wooden support posts with steel, built a structure of treated glulam beams and treated lumber joists. The deck is made of a PVC decking material that has a through and through color. The railing is designed to maximize the view, and be safe for kids. The vertical cables eliminate a ladder like configuration so kids cannot climb on the railing. Photo courtesy of TimberTown USA
