A total renovation of this backyard pool including new tile, re-plastering in a tranquil hue of Mediterranean blue. A new tanning ledge was added to the pool complete with bubblers. A new aggregate concrete area integrated into the existing pool surround. Notice how we created a custom niche to house the clients’ shade umbrella as part of the design – so custom! A new channel drain was added between the new and old patio areas to ensure water drains properly. The new gable-end covered patio addition was tied into the existing roofline. The patio cover features an open gable end with decorative (crow’s feet) details. On the interior of the covered patio we used a Hardie board finish to retain the originality of the existing home. In addition to finishing the new patio cover interior, we also installed the same Hardie board to the existing covered area on the back of the home. This enabled us to unify the existing and new structure in a way that makes the addition feel original to the home. This is an area that Archadeck of Northeast Dallas-Southlake is so well-known for! Also within the covered patio is the new 9-foot bar whcih has a TV mounted overhead. We coordinated installation of speakers with the speaker company. They did the wiring when the ceiling finish was still open and then they came back out to finish the installation. Archadeck added plenty of lighting and multiple ceiling fans within the space. Adjacent to the covered patio, Archadeck installed a privacy wall to keep all the pool equipment within reach but out of view.

MAJOR REPAIRS AND EXTERIOR MAKEOVER This classic colonial was constructed in 1990 and purchased by our customer in 2014. We were retained to restore, repair, and update the exterior of this property, with all parties anticipating that we were likely to uncover a variety of hidden issues. During the course of this undertaking, we replaced 17 windows. In a number of cases, we rebuilt sills and frames to the floor. All window replacements required new drywall and/or patching with new trim and painting. Additional work was required to replace the sill across the front of the house and utilize jack studs to support the upper level while working. The original plan included stripping off the old siding and installing new vinyl siding. We discovered that most exterior walls had never been sheathed with plywood. We sheathed all exterior walls and wrapped them with Tyvek. As per the plan, we removed the door from the smaller upper deck above the primary deck, replaced rotted rim board and sill, and installed a new 48x48’ window to replace the doorway after resizing the former doorway. Insulating, patching of drywall, and the addition of new trim followed. Reframed the opening from the kitchen to deck to receive a new 8’ x 6.75’ door and finished the jambs and casing to match existing trim in the rest of the house. Removed and reconstructed front entry portico and replaced front entry door with sidelights and finished interior jambs and casing to match. Removed garage door and framed in the opening with plywood and installed new siding over to match. Removed soffit and facia and replaced with new white vented panels and white facia—added stone to front portico with custom columns. Removed old roof shingles and re-shingle all roofing on the garage and home with 30-year architectural shingles. Added ridge vent to allow the roof to breath better, replaced all flashing, and added lateral bracing to gable ends not previously tied in. Installed new seamless gutters @ 6 inches (with covers over top) and 5 INCH downspouts to address water drainage. Extended all gable ends to standard 12-inch overhang. The result is a beautifully restored and properly constructed 4 bedroom/4 bathroom home with an attached car garage.

New homeowners wanted to update the kitchen before moving in. KBF replaced all the flooring with a mid-tone plank engineered wood, and designed a gorgeous new kitchen that is truly the centerpiece of the home. The crystal chandelier over the center island is the first thing you notice when you enter the space, but there is so much more to see! The architectural details include corbels on the range hood, cabinet panels and matching hardware on the integrated fridge, crown molding on cabinets of varying heights, creamy granite countertops with hints of gray, black, brown and sparkle, and a glass arabasque tile backsplash to reflect the sparkle from that stunning chandelier.
